FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK

Dear Reader,

Jai Jinendra!

Jain women have played a significant role in preserving and promoting the principles of Jainism throughout history. They have actively contributed to spiritual, cultural, and social spheres within the Jain community. Many Jain women have embraced the path of asceticism, becoming revered nuns and scholars, dedicating their lives to the practice and dissemination of Jain teachings. Additionally, as patrons of art and literature, they have fostered a rich heritage that reflects the values of non-violence, truth, and self-discipline central to Jain philosophy. Their legacy exemplifies discipline, leadership, and unwavering commitment to the enduring principles of Jainism.

In a similar spirit of promoting Jain philosophy and linguistic heritage, the International School for Jain Studies ‘ISJS’ is delighted to introduce an online Apabhramsa course for Hindi speakers, aimed at enriching knowledge of India’s linguistic and literary heritage. Following this, the 20th edition of the esteemed International Summer School for Jain Studies, a five-week residential program starting on June 17, 2025, offers participants an immersive experience in Jain practices. Furthering its academic commitment, ISJS continues the Bhagwan Mahavira Prakrit Fellowship—a nine-month course commencing in September 2025— centered on Hemachandra’s 12th -century Prakrit grammar, providing a deep understanding of the language and Jain literature.

With warm regards!
