Samayasāra (The Nature of the Self) is a famous philosophical text composed by Digaṃbara Ācārya Kundakunda in the 1st Century BC. It has 439 verses in ten chapters that discuss the nature of Jīva (pure self/soul), its false attachment to Karma and how it can attain Mokṣa. Samayasāra expounds on universal concepts and their emphasis in the philosophy of Jainism, such as Karma, āsrava (influx of karmas), Bandha (Bondage), Saṃvara (stoppage), Nirjarā (shedding), and Mokṣa (complete annihilation of karmas).

Countless theories describe some or the other aspect of truth and satiate a seeker's quest. We are tiny, insignificant creatures striving to know how the universe works, the fundamental laws of nature and questions like that. By far, through my experiences and whatever knowledge I've gained, I've analysed that, be it modern science or any human belonging to any community or nation, we are helpless in front of death. And it is something each of us has to face sooner or later, be it ours or anyone dear to us. In these times of void, grief, and dilemma, we need a theory that provides peace or answers to our woeful situation. India is undeniably the hub of the most ancient philosophies of the world. Without a doubt, all religious philosophies offer some solace in such times, and as I said earlier, we are tiny, insignificant creatures; we tend to adopt a theory that seems the best to our logical or not-so-logical minds. Death and countless other questions, answers of which one seeks throughout one's life, are not available anywhere except religious philosophies. In all the contexts of restlessness, grieving or any other, this Indian philosophy of wisdom, which we know as the Jain Philosophy, has provided solace to my restlessness. Hence, when my transformation happened after coming in touch with this ancient Indian wisdom, I decided to dedicate my time and life to understanding, researching and propagating the same.

When we think about the theory of evolution, one thought creeps into every thoughtful mind that if we have evolved through apes (like beings), this evolution will not stop here. Homo sapiens is the most modern, most developed, strongest, wisest version. Evolution is a continuous process, and, in the future, as per the survival of the fittest and, ironically, even the most powerful, we will evolve into some other, even better species! Well, without a doubt, it sounds immensely positive and hopeful. Till now, we look at the sequence of evolution as (beings similar to) apes which have evolved into Homo Sapiens and will continue to do so until perfection. Hypothetically we can look at this sequence through exactly the opposite perspective, which leads us from being the most developed Humans to present-day Homo Sapiens through devolution. If this devolution continues, Homo-Sapiens will devolve into (beings similar to) apes. In either case, evolution and devolution are not stagnant or permanent processes. Even if either pinnacle is achieved, it won’t stop, for change is constant in the universe. This thought/idea leads to a cyclic pattern of occurrences, which provides a base for further research. Modern science has only analysed the previous scenario, whereas it should have been looked at both ways; for the present-day scenario of exploitation of domesticated animals, unethical use of armaments and finances, man’s hunger to attain power and quest to intrude into the workings of nature through experimentations of Artificial Intelligence etc. portray a different, fearful scene in front of our eyes. Also, suppose survival of the fittest is valid due to the increasing human race population and enhanced disparity. In that case, that day does not seem far when the more powerful humans start to massacre the less powerful ones to maintain their beloved planet's population. In this paper, an attempt has been made to reflect this theory by adding consciousness and then by analysing the same through the glass of time cycle in Jain philosophy. This indicates that what we understand as evolution is actually devolution. Peace and good vibes Medhavi

Science and philosophy go hand in hand; just as every scientist is a philosopher, every philosopher is a scientist, too, as both science and philosophy are concerned with finding the reality and nature of things. Where science focuses on discovering through experimentation of the physical, philosophy aims to peel off the layers of a specific through valid reasoning. Both deal with the restlessness of mankind and motivate the same to find the secrets of the universe. Finding the smallest indivisible particle of Matter is one such quest of science which is inevitably philosophical. Quarks and Leptons are few of the fundamental, elementary particles discovered by physicists that lay the foundation of the physical world. We notice that ancient Indian philosophers called the most fundamental particle paramāṇu, which translates into English as the absolute atom, and gave a detailed description of the same. Paramāṇu is the smallest indivisible part of Matter, known as pudgala in Jain philosophy. According to the scholars, a paramāṇu cannot be grasped through the senses, it can only become worthy of sensory perception when in a skandha (group of countless paramāṇu). Hence, just like the realization of the soul, understanding the paramāṇu is also a matter of actuality. This paper sheds a little light on the same as described in few of the other Indian philosophies like Nyāya Vaiśeṣika, Sāṁkhya and Buddhist and present-day physics and deals in detail with the description of paramāṇu provided by the Jain philosophers.

When we think about the theory of evolution, one thought creeps into every thoughtful mind for sure that if we have evolved through apes, this evolvement will not stop here only? At Homo sapiens being the most modern, most developed, strongest, wisest version. For it seems to be a continuous process and definitely in future as per the survival of the fittest, and ironically now even the most powerful as well, we will evolve into some other, even better species! Well without a doubt it sounds immensely positive and hopeful. Till now it is monkeys – evolution – Homo Sapiens and so on… Now let’s take a look at this scenario through exactly the opposite perspective : Homo Sapiens – devolution – monkeys and so on… Modern science has only analysed the previous scenario whereas it should have been discussed both ways. We can also put it this way: either we have evolved through the least developed species unto the most developed one or we have devolved from the super humans unto the current human race and why stop here lets also try to see our future; for the present day environmental conditions, threats of global warming etc. portray a different, fearful scene in front of our eyes. Also, if survival of the fittest is valid and right, due to the increasing population of human race and disparity, that day does not seem far when the more powerful humans start to massacre the less powerful ones in order to maintain the population of their beloved planet called earth. In this paper an attempt has been made to reflect this theory through the glass of time cycle in Jain philosophy, with a hope that something very interesting and worth noticing will be found.
