FROM THE EDITOR'S DESK
Dear Reader,
Jai Jinendra!
Jainism has long propagated spiritual intelligence grounded in nonviolence as a way of life, envisioning inner harmony as the ultimate goal and social harmony as its natural outcome. The Jain principle of ahimsa transcends physical action, extending deeply into speech and thought, and calls for mastery over one's inner responses. This ethical discipline finds a striking parallel in the modern framework of emotional intelligence, where self-awareness, mindful regulation, and compassionate communication serve as tools to prevent conflict and nurture harmony. Together, Jainism's spiritual vision and emotional intelligence converge to offer a holistic path toward both personal transformation and collective wellbeing.
Jain acharyas and thinkers have consistently emphasized values that cultivate emotional intelligence-clarity, restraint, empathy, and equanimity. These timeless principles remain profoundly relevant in today's world, guiding individuals to navigate challenges with balance and dignity. Through its academic programs, the International School for Jain Studies (ISJS) has played a pivotal role in introducing these values and demonstrating their practical applications in contemporary contexts, reaffirming the enduring relevance of Jain wisdom in shaping modern life.
During its residential summer program, ISJS offers a rich combination of lectures and interactive group discussions that encourage participants to examine contemporary issues through the lens of Jain philosophy. This integrated approach fosters both intellectual inquiry and practical reflection, creating a dynamic environment for dialogue and growth. We are pleased to share that the upcoming summer program will introduce fresh opportunities for deep learning and meaningful engagement, further strengthening the living connection between timeless Jain values and modern life.
This issue features an English article by Dr. Navin Srivastav, titled "Self-awareness as Emotional Intelligence (EI): Cultivating Nonviolent Communication in Teaching". The article underscores self-awareness as central to Emotional Intelligence in teaching, showing how recognizing emotions and separating observation from judgment fosters nonviolent communication, enabling teachers to respond with calm empathy rather than impulse.
Your engagement with our activities reinforces our collective dedication to scholarship, ethical reflection, and lasting clarity.
ISJS extends warm wishes for a very happy, prosperous New Year filled with inner peace!
