Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Heart of Jainism It is possible that to some minds there may seem to be a measure of incompatibility between these two motives. The writers, however, feel otherwise. For them the second motive reinforces the first: for they have found that he who would lead others into a new faith must first of all understand the faith that is theirs already, - understand it, moreover, sympathetically, with a mind quick to note not its weaknesses alone but that in it which has enabled it to survive and has given it its power over the hearts of those who profess it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Indian Sect of the Jainas The Jaina sect is a religious society of modern India, at variance to Brahmanism, and possesses undoubted claims on the interest of all friends of Indian history. This claim is based partly on the peculiarities of their doctrines and customs, which present several resemblances to those of Buddhism, but, above all, on the fact that it was founded in the same period as the latter.

This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 356 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in South Indian Jainism Eminent scholars, considerable caution has to be exercised. At the time when they wrote and formulated their opinions, epigraphy was in its infancy. Since then, new facts have been un earthed the science of epigraphy itself has progressed by leaps and bounds theories once considered indisputable have to be considerably modified. The vernaculars of the country, again, presented a serious obstacle to European schol lars, who, it must be admitted, are not all Beschis and Popes, in arriving at a correct estimate of some aspects of South Indian history. Speci ally true is the statement with reference to the history and influence of the J ains, materials for which lie deeply embedded in the vernaculars of the country - Tamil, Telugu and Canarese.

Download or read book The Kalpa Sutra and Nava Tatva written by J. Stevenson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Kalpa Sutra, and Nava Tatva: Two Works Illustrative of the Jain Religion and Philosophy Ceylonese date of the death of Buddha is rc. 543, and the death of the Tirthankara having taken place in 569, we obtain the reasonable period of twenty-six years, for the demise of the preceptor before his pupil. The Kalpa b'utra, according to a date embodied in the work itself, was composed 980 years after the demise of Mahavira, that is to say, a.d. 411. The public reading of the work took place twelve years afterwards, as narrated in the Introduction. The author's name was Bhadra Bahu, and the sovereign who then reigned in Gujarath, was Dhruva Sena. The four commentators who, between the fifteenth and seventeenth centuries, have commented on the work, are Yasovgaya, whose Sanskrit work, called Sakhabadha, has been used in making the annexed translation, Devichandra, the Gujarathi translator chiefly fol lowed, and J nanavimala, and Szimayasundaia. There is so little of Eastern extravagance exhi bited in the age and date of the death of Mahavira, that one is glad for once to escape exposure to the spirit of scepticism which so generally haunts the European in his antiquarian researches in India.

Download or read book The Religions of India Classic Reprint written by Auguste Barth and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-09-08 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A. Barth's The Religions of India is a survey of the popular religions of India. Originally written for inclusion in an encyclopedia, Barth later expanded the work to a standalone text, which is more suitable for a document of such depth. The author begins with an examination of the Vedic religions, commonly thought of as the precursor religions to Hinduism. Barth traces the spread of these religions through time and the evolution of ancient religions into more modern religions, proceeding to explore Brahmanism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Hinduism in great depth, highlighting the history and practices of each. Barth writes in a distinguished, authoritative tone. It is apparent that the origin of this writing was inclusion in an encyclopedia, as the text is heavy with facts and raw information. While there is some degree of exposition and argumentative analysis, the focus here is clearly on presenting the information. The Religions of India would make a great textbook. It is clear, concise, and contains a wealth of information. Amateur historians and readers of religious history will likely find this to be an interesting read, and it makes a valuable addition to the library of anybody interested in India's religions.
