Motto, Mission & Goal

Lord Mahavir said 2500 years ago:
‘Nanassa Saram Ayaro’ meaning “Right conduct is the essence of knowledge.”
This spiritual voice is the motto of Jain Vishwa Bharati.

The mission is to integrate modern science with ancient wisdom of the great spiritual practitioners and visionary seers.

The first and foremost task of Jain Vishwa Bharati has been to develop an International Center of Jainological Studies and Research. It aims at imparting higher education and preparing scholars in this little-explored treasure of knowledge and conducting research in different sciences hidden in Jain Agams, and to bring them to light by translating them from Prakrit into Hindi, English and other major languages of the world.

2. Preksha Dhyana

Preksha dhyana is a technique of meditation for attitudinal change, behavioral modification and,integrated development of personality. It is based on the wisdom of ancient philosophy and has been formulated in terms of modern scientific concepts. We hope that the synthesis of the ancient wisdom and the modern scientific knowledge would help us in achieving the blissful aim of establishing amity, peace and happiness in the world by eradicating the bestial urges such as cruelty, retaliation and hatred.

3. Science of Living (Jeevan Vigyan) by Acharya Mahaprgya
