The 5th Bhagwan Mahavira Prakrit Fellowship program 2024-25 begins
on September 1, 2024.
Five participants have arrived at the ISJS campus: Suvarna Jain from
Pune (Maharashtra), Ramani Swarna from Delhi, Akarsh Jain from
Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh), Aviral Jain from Shivpuri (Madhya
Pradesh), and Rahul Mangsule from Sangli (Maharashtra).
All participants are enthusiastic to begin learning Siddha-hema-
shabdanushasan before which they will be introduced to the Indian
language system and many other introductory topics.
The fellows of this residential program will get to study Prakrit for nine
months to gain an in-depth understanding of the ancient Indian
language which is also the chief language of Jain canonical literature.
