Introduction & Aim
Gyan Sagar Science Foundation formed in September-2009 for bridging the science and society with the blessings of Param Pujya Sarakudhharak Shri 108 Gyan Sagar Maharaj Ji. We have 41 founder members most of them are the eminent scientist of India We want to use a immense literature available in Jain religion. We want to bring all scientist from all discipline of Science and Researches on Jainism at one plate form and achieve the task with following few suggestions:
• Form a few panels of Jain scientists in each field who have studied life science, physics, chemistry, and
astronomy but lack knowledge about Jain viewpoint/explanations. • Jain scholars can recommend appropriate books in Jain religion on those topics to study. • After Studying Jain literature scientist can offer explanation based on current status of science in terms
of what issues can be justified and what cannot be justified. • Jain philanthropists can fund scientific projects to explain certain phenomenon which are not previously
proved /established by science but has been explained in religion. • Publish the results in peer reviewed journal. We believe this would help in long run "Indian Science" which used to be the most innovative in the world. Jain Society always in forefront to spend the money for the welfare of nation and this time also very gracefully they accepted to host all the expenditure to bring very eminent scientist at one plate form and we could organize a wonderful event for the first time in the nation history "Scientist Meet" at Bangalore with a topic "Scientific Development and Our Responsibility" This event was a very successful and called as a event of the Year 2010, under auspicious presence of Param Pujya shri 108 Gyan Sagar Maharaj Ji.
