SYADVADAMAÑJARI (Sanskrit)
Six systems of Indian Philosophy examined from the Jainaperspective
By Mallisena
Ed. by Motilal Ladha with 10 Appendices
First published in 1925
Vijayamahodayasuri Granthamala Volume 1

Hardcover Rs. 80

Medieval India. The age of Nyaya. Logicians were the gladiators of this era. The Brahmanas, the Buddhists, the Jains, all had developed their Nyayasastras. Mallisena made a very important contribution by establishing logically, the supremacy of the Anekanta philosophy.

Mallisena originally composed Syadvadamañjari as a tika on Acarya Hemacandra's 'Anyayogavyayacchedika'. Nevertheless, the Syadvadamañjari has taken on the stature of an independent work on Jain Nyaya. Written in lucid style, Syadvadamañjari critically examines the classical Hindu system of six philosophies from the Jain point of view and establishes the superiority of Jain Darshana.

The work was first published in 1925; brilliantly edited by Motilal Ladha with no less than ten appendices. This is a freshly typeset edition published by Sri Vijayamahodayasuri Granthamala.

BAUDDHA EVAM JAIN NITISHASTRA (Hindi)
A Critical Study by Dr. Sunanda Kumari
2002 220 x 140 212 pp
Hardback Rs. 295.00

Ancient India boasted a number of darshanas apart from the Vedic darshana, which has metamorphosed itself into modern day Hinduism. Amongst them, only Jainism and Buddhism survive and flourish.

Each darshana has prescribed a distinct code of conduct. The two sramanic traditions of Jainism and Buddhism have similarities in their outlook on life, yet their codes of conduct accord varying levels of emphasis on commonly venerated concepts like ahinsa, aparigraha, anekantavada / anagraha, etc.

These concepts are the external foundations of Jaina and Buddhist nitishastras. The bedrock any nitishastra is an innate sense of ethics and fairplay.

This book has the following chapters:

Pratham Adhyaya
Bauddha evam Jaina nitishastra ki darshanik prsthabhumi

Dvitiya Adhyaya
Bauddha evam Jaina darshan me naitik gunon ka vivecan

Trtiya Adhyaya
Bauddha evam Jaina darshan me naitik mapdanda

Caturtha Adhyaya
Bauddha evam Jaina darshan me naitikta ki manyatayen

Pañcam Adhyaya
Bauddha evam Jaina darshan me mulyavada

Sastam Adhyaya
Bauddha evam Jaina darshan me moksa

Upasamhara

SYADVADAMANJARI (Sanskrit)
(Six systems of Indian Philosophy examined from theJainaperspective)
By Acarya Mallisena
Edited by Motilal Ladha
First published in 1925
Reprinted as Sri Vijayamahodayasuri Granthamala 1
2002 220 x 145 mm 300 pp
Hardcover Rs. 80.00

Medieval India. The age of Nyaya. Logicians were the gladiators of this era.
The Brahmanas, the Buddhists, the Jainas, all had developed their
Nyayasastras. Mallisena made a very important contribution by establishing
logically, the supremacy of the Anekanta philosophy.

Mallisena originally composed Syadvadamañjari as a tika on Acarya Hemacandra's 'Anyayogavyayacchedika'. Nevertheless, Syadvadamañjari has taken on the stature of an independent work on Jaina Nyaya. Written in a very lucid style, Syadvadamañjari critically examines the classical Hindu system of six philosophies from the Jaina point of view and establishes the superiority of Jaina Darsana.

The work was first published in 1925; brilliantly edited by Motilal Ladha with no less than ten appendices. This is a freshly typeset edition published by Sri Vijayamahodayasuri Granthamala.

JAINA UDDHARANA KOSA - Volume One
(A Collection of the Citations in Prakrit and Sanskrit Languages asfound in the Jaina texts, Commentaries and the like)
Compiled and Edited with an Introduction, Bibliographies, Variants,Indices, etc. by Dr. Kamalesh Kumar Jain
Foreword by Professor S.R. Banerjee
B.L.Series no. 16
2003 250 x 190 mm 621 pp
81-208-1981-0 Hardcover Rs. 2100.00

"The value of this Kosa is indeed, incomparable. It has manifold purposes. First of all, these quotations inform us (about) the type of non-Jaina texts that were utilised by the Jainas. In order to build an edifice of Jaina thought and ideas, these quotations will help record the development of Jaina philosophical ideas and concepts."

It is from the citations used by Jain commentators that we can glean the history and scope of the role that Jains played in the development of Indian epistemological thought.

Jainism is one of the major three religions of India. It has made manifold contributions to Indian culture, ethics and spirituality. Jainas have played an active role in shaping India's astrology, astronomy, mathematics, linguistics, literature and languages. Jaina philosohphical treatises come to the forefront with Kundakunda's pioneering and unmatched Prabhrta works in Prakrit, and Vacaka Umawati's magnum opus Tattvarthasutra in Sanskrit.

Jaina literature is vast. Thousands of works on every topic under the sun. Many of these works have been lost with the passage of time. Only their essence remains preserved in the form of citations or Uddharanas.

These Uddharanas, all in Sanskrit or Prakrit, have been divided into three time phases:

Vol. 1 covers all those from 4th century CE to 9th century CE
Vol. 2 shall cover all those from 10th century CE to 13th century CE
Vol. 3 shall cover all those from 14th century CE to 19th century CE

The present Volume covers all the Prakrit and Sanskrit Uddharanas from the 4th century and earlier to 9th century CE.

The volume has been painstakingly edited by the diligent scholar Dr. Kamalesh Kumar Jain in nine years.

It's dedication page reads as under:

SVANANDA VIDYAMRTA (Hindi)
Learned discourses by Acarya Vidyananda
Based on Kundakunda's Rayanasara
2003 216 x 138 mm 194 pp
Paperback Rs. 60.00

Kundakunda's Rayanasara conveys conduct-related information to both the ascetic and the layman. He has explained that without the attainment of samyaktva, the higest pinnacle of spiritual existence, enlightenment cannot be attained. Only samatva - no mamatva leads to nijatva. And nijatva leads to Siddhatva.

The discourses by Acarya Vidyananda are articulate as well as lucid. They delve into the inner meanings of the gahas and express the gems of Kundakunda's thought in simple language. Acarya Sri's powers of expression and his impressive vocabulary make the book highly readable.

It has the following chapters:

1. Jñana hi mukti ka sadhan
2. Samyakdrsti ka svarup
3. Samyakdrsti jiv ki visesata
4. Samyakcaritra
5. Satpatradana
6. Aharadana ki visesata
7. Dana ke durupayoga ka parinaam
8. Dharmavihin vyakti ki durgati
9. Samyaktva aur mithyatva
10. Subha aur Asubha bhava
11. Moha aur Sanyam
12. Tyaga ki mahima
13. Bhakti ka prabhava
14. Samatabhava dhaaran karen
15. Sadhucarya aur aharaprayojana
16. Ahara aur Atmajñana
17. Atmadhyana ki visesata
18. Karunamurti Parsvanath
19. Atma aur Paramatma
20. Syadvada
21. Dharmahsuddhopayogah syat
22. Samyagjñana aur Samyagdarsana ki mahima
23. Samyagdarsana ke bina sab nihsara hai
24. Nirmal atma hi samayasara hai
25. Rayanasara ka sara

Rs. 95.00

"Many of the problems of philosophy are of such broad relevance to human concerns, and so complex in their ramifications, that they are, in one form or another, perenially present. Though in the course of time they yield in part to philosophical inquiry, they may need to be rethought by each age in the light of its broader scientific knowledge and deepened ethical and religious expericience. Better solutions are found by more refined and rigorous methods. Thus, one who approaches the study of philosophy in the hope of understanding the best of what it affords will look both for fundamental issues and contemporary achievements.

This authoritative new edition provides a clear, contemporary introduction to this branch of knowledge. A new chapter on recent work in epistemology of religion is incorporated."

The author, Prof. John H. Hick is a distinguished philosopher teaching at Claremont Graduate School, California.

By Pt. Kailashchandraji Shastri
Rs. 15.00

Review: Siddhantacharya Pandit Kailash Chandraji Shastri studied "Mokshamarg Prakashak" and made it his life's work to present the contents therein in a simple form. He felt that the various controversies rasing their ugly head in Jain society today could be effectively resolved through proper presentation of "Mokshamarg Prakashak". Samichin Jain Dharma effectively clears the the confusion that scholars and laymen alike today face when confronted with the concepts of "Nishchay" and Vyavahar". The idea behind this book is to make the teachings of Bhagwan Mahavir simple, unambiguous and clear to all, so that all of us may drink from the font of the Keval Gyanis' wisdom.

Review: Jainism attaches greatest importance to the Namokaar Mantra. Namokaar Mantra or Navkaar Mantra enjoys the same status amongst Jains that the Gayatri Mantra enjoys amongst the Hindus. Many books have been written on the Namokaar Mantra, but Dr. Nemichandraji has studied deeply all the aspects of the Namokaar Mantra, and has carried out a comparative analysis of the same and has approached the book with a scientific temper. This book is a must for each and every Jain.

Review: This is one of the most incredible works in the world of Jainism and Indology. This is the only Encyclopaedia of its kind in Hindi and certainly the most comprehensive and exhaustive delving into the ancient concepts and ideas of Jainism. The author has taken great pains to present the concepts in a lucid way. He has covered Jain philosophy, code of conduct, laws of Karma, Jain geography, Jain mythology, Jain history, and lives of the sixty-three great historical men (the Trishashthi Shalaka Purush) , the great Jain preceptors of the past, the sects, the preachers and the reformers of Jainism are all present here. More than six thousand words have been explained in depth.

The most important reason why I rate this Encyclopaedia so highly is that the author devoted his entire life towards this task and studied more than a hundred tomes of Jain literature in Sanskrit, Prakrit and Apabhransha, besides countless books in Hindi. He has used the research to make the book as comprehensive and as precise as possible, and has also used the extracts of these tomes along with their Hindi translations to further illustrate his concepts, with reference to any given context.
