This document provides an overview of Jain philosophy and its relation to science according to the author. Some key points made include:
- Jain philosophy as described in ancient texts like Tatvarth Sutra contain concepts from fields like physics, chemistry, biology, and mathematics that have only been discovered or proven by modern science.
- Core concepts of Jain philosophy like the atomic theory, classification of matter/soul, principles of motion and time have parallels in modern scientific understanding.
- Operating principles of Jain philosophy like non-violence, Anekantavada and the theory of karma also relate to principles of fields like physics, biology and quantum mechanics.

Chapter 2: Samkhya Yoga (The yoga of knowledge) - 72 verses. Concluding his reasoning and yet confused, Arjuna turns to Lord Krishna for discernment (2:7). Krishna begins countering Arjuna's objections. Krishna tells Arjuna that the eternal self is immortal and the body is designed to pass away (2:12-30). Explaining the three principles dharma, (right action) atman (individual self) and sarira (body), Krishna reminds Arjuna that, as a warrior, his duty is to uphold the path of dharma through warfare (2:31-38).

Padartha Vijnana means the science which deals with the substances in the universe, its relationship with the living being in terms of their properties, functions; methods of understanding them etc.
Generally the subject Padartha Vigyan is considered as tough in the field of Ayurveda. But, it is the most useful subject than any other in Ayurveda.
The topics dealt in it are the fundamental concepts of Ayurveda on which entire chikitsa stands.
Understanding the elements in the universe is mandatory before studying the body. In this book, the subject matter is discussed with the help of different darśana and other shastras which are correlated with Ayurveda System.
Hence this will be a good guide for the BAMS students; as it includes all the subject matters in according to the revised syllabus prescribed by NCISM, 2021.

Jainism 101 - an overview of Jain philosophySudhir Shah
Jainism 101 gives a brief overview of the basics of Jain philosophy. Stemming from ancient shramanic tradition of India, this simple but profound path is as relevant today as it was thousands of years ago. Jain way of life is based on three principles Ahimsa (non-injury), Anekantvad (Non-absolutism) and Aparigraha (non-attachment).
Similar to Jainism a super science - by dr. sudhir v. shah (20)
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

3. The contribution of Jain religion
• Lord Mahavir (omniscient tirthankar parmatma) out of compassion,
applied the Gyana for spiritual uplift and liberation of the soul. In
addition, this path also leads to physical well being, mental peace,
emotional control and total health of an individual undoubtedly.
• Also if practiced universally, Jain religion can bring universal peace,
ecological balance and welfare of the universe : Global Religion
• What he preached, has turned out to be permanent and absolute truth
– the super science. He was the great scientist earth has ever seen.
• His preachings and his vision were beyond Raga, Dwesha and Moha,
so there is no reason to disbelieve, all that he said - Aptapurush
4. Jain Philosophy
• One of the Oldest :
References are also in holy vedas. Tripitak has
acknowledged Chaturyama dharma and mentioned
about lord Mahavir
• Great personalities and genius people were existing
in India between 500 BC to 300 AD. We have lost
great opportunities, to change the history and future
of mankind.
5. Jain Philosophy
• A complete philosophy
• Complete knowledge
• Way of life & ethics
• Perfect way of liberation
• Ecology
• Classic karmic theory
• Anekant and Syadvada : principle of relativity and other viewpoints
• Compatible with principles of modern science
Physics, biology, psychology, physiology & medicine (Life Science)
mathematics, astronomy and chemistry
Indian - Foreign dignitaries have written wonderful words of praise
6. • Anushreni Gatihi
• Bhedad Anuhu
• Tadbhav – Avyayam Nityam
• Upayogo Laxanam
• Sagninah Samanska
Is it a text book of science or a religion ?
How old is it ?
7. I have taken help from experts.
And I need your help and input…
8. Purpose of my talk
Everybody wants EVIDENCE
Relevance and Context
The issue is how scientific our school is, and not of total scientific proof
“This talk is completely dedicated to reinstate our faith in our religion”
• To open vision
• Incentive for reading
• Thought process
• Need for Research
• Human welfare
• Animal welfare
• Uplift of soul
• Global peace
• Spread of Jain Thought
• Respect for whole Indian
(No wish to convert)
Culture
9. Science and Religion
1.
Two sides of the same coin
2.
Science looks outward and religion looks inward : but both are
searching…..
3.
Matter Vs. Soul : God
4.
Experiment Vs. Experience
5.
Languages are different, but there is no need for conflict. Both
are complimentary – Samanvaya
6.
Science without religion is blind, religion without science is
lame. If science is the motion, religion is the direction
7.
Look science with the eyes of religion and reversely
True religion should be free of fear, temptation and wrong methods
11. • I am proud of science : Limitation : Laboratory based : Iceberg
• Science – knowledge is still evolving e.g. plants
• It changes every time with change in evidence
• Our senses have limitations. Also dimension theory
• Several parallel worlds
• Religion has absolute truth : Shashwat : Faith bound
The Problems in understanding Texts
• Problem in decoding verses
• Words have changed meaning
• Translator’s or scriptwriter’s
errors, language, memory, time
• Missing of Texts.
• Poor understanding
by science.
• Knowledge-evidence basedis evolving.
e.g. Plant kingdom.
15. Tatwarthadhigam Sutra
The 1st ever written complete text book of science……
(also in samaysaar, niyamsaar and pravachansaar)
• Samyag Darshan Gyan Charitrani Mokshamargah:
- Purpose & essence of Tatwarthadhigam sutra is Moksha
through ratnatraya
- To achieve moksha, one must know the dravya,
tatva & the causation of karmabandh. Then
to understand the way of liberation. Hence,
we have to study physics, biology, astronomy,
types of knowledge,characteristics of soul,matter,
time and space, stages of evolution of soul.
• As if Science and Religion is one and inseparable
16. Tatvarthsutra
1st complete book of science of mankind
1.
Categories of Truth

Anavah skandhas cha - Matter has two varieties :
atoms & clusters.
5/25
Samghata-bhedebhya- - Clusters are produced by 5/26
utpadyante
fission, fusion or both.
Bhedad anuh
Atom
- Atom is the final product
of fission-disintegration.
- indivisible unit.
5/27
19. Atomic Science
• Bheda-samghatabhyam caksusah
5/28
The visibility of clusters is produced by the
combination of disintegration & reintegration.
• Utpada-vyaya-dhrauvyayuktam sat
-
5/29
Origin, cessation & persistence constitute existence.
• Tadbhavavyayam nityam
What remains as it is : eternal : Universal

5/30
20. Atomic Science
• Snigdha-ruksatvad bandhah – Atomic
integration is due to their positive &
negative charge ( tactile qualities of
viscosity
&
dryness )
5/32
21. Atomic Science
• Na jaghanyagunanam - There cannot be
integration of atoms (and clusters) that possess
the
minimum
one
degree
of
difference
(viscosity or dryness) 5/33
• Gunasamye sadrasanam - Atoms with similar
(same degree of) charges cannot integrate. 5/34
22. Subatomic Particles
• Description of subatomic particles is mind-boggling. 4
different types of qualities of atoms have been described
( Sheet-snigdha, Sheet-ruksha, Ushna-snigdha, Ushnaruksha)
• Two types of matter (a) with charge (b) without charge
(Photon, Graviton, Gluon)
• Dravya naya: Total Quantity of Atoms is Constant Paryaya
naya : Changeable
• Divisions & Subdivisions of Atoms are Plenty
Small & Big, Cause & Effect Atoms , Dravya & Bhava
Atoms, Atoms carrying Touch,Smell,Vision etc. Qualities.
23. Atomic Science
Here, formation of matter, concept of
universal matter, atomic fusion, integration &
disintegration
of
matter,constancy
&
transformability of objects - all high principles
of atomic science-physics are discussed. The
concepts of subatomic particles are even
mind boggling.
Aren’t you Surprised ?

24. Applied Physics
• Ajivakaya dharmadharma kasa pudgalah : 5/1
Dravyani jivas cha : 5/2
kalaschetyeke : 5/38
• Media of dharma (motion) & adharma (inertiarest),
space,
matter
and
souls
are
Dravyas
(substances). Time is also a substance according
to some preachers.
25. Adharmastikaya
• All that we see in universe is
4% matter
1% dark matter
75% dark energy – is it Adharmastikaya
or is it supporting the inertia as against
Dharmastikaya which supports motion
26. Applied Physics
• Vartana parinamah kriya paratva - paratve cha
kalasya :
5/22
The functions of time are :
• Becoming ( Inspiring ), change, motion &
sequence.

• Time in physics : several, but not related (six)
Absolute time, astronomical time, change etc.
27. Applied Physics
• Sarira-van-manah-prana-panah pudgalanam : 5/19
* Matter functions as the material cause
of body, speech, mind & breath.
• Sukha-dukha-jivita-maranopagrahas cha : 5/20
* The production of pleasure, pain, life
& death is also due to matter (chemical properties).

29. Psychology
Mati : Smruti : Sangya chintaabhinibodh ityanarthantaram
• Mati (knowledge about existing thing), memory, recall,
thinking process and conclusion is matigyana. And this is the
function of senses and mind.
• Thoughtfulness & perception, discrimination between good
& bad, useful & harmful are all functions of mind.
•
Mind has two aspects :
1) Physical
2) Psychic mind
• Science does not know about Dravyamana & Bhavamana so
far. However, if we take mind as interface between the
consciousness and intellect, then we can explain.
30. • Intellectuals have both minds. Only
doesn’t help in the thought process.
psychic mind
• Sangninah samanaska : 2/25
• The higher developed the mind, the animal will
more intelligent.
be
(Devas,Narakas,Garbhaj (womb) human & Garbhaj
animals have higher mind.)

• Sammurchhim jiva
32. Plant Kingdom
They have leshya, kashaya, instincts and feelings (perceptions).
(1) Leshya
:
Colourful plants : Nilleshya
thorns, bad smells : Kapot
(2) Kashaya :
Carrots, potato : Lobha : accumulation
Coloured plants : Maya
Eating food can change our thought process
(3) Instincts
:
Ahaar, fear, accumulation
and reproduction.
(4) Samvedana (feelings)
:
Dr.Jagdishchandra Bose : Pain : Shame – Lajamani
:
Mr.T.N.Singh : Effect of music on plants
:
Dr.Bexter : Trees keep watch even on spiders
33. Applied Biology
• Upayogo lakshanam : 2/8
▪ Sentinence is the defining characteristic of
the soul. Constant awareness,
consciousness & application of knowledge is upayoga.
Dravyasangraha
▪
The one that survives, applies knowledge, does not disintegrate (does not
die), is Karta and is equal to the proportion of body is called Jeeva.
• Parasparopagraho
Jivanam : 5/21
The function of the soul is to render services –
usefulness - to one another.
Each soul is entangled with all the rest in the
universe. We are influenced by the rest (Non-violence).
34. MACH’s Principle
• The inertial mass of a particle is a result of the
“interaction” of mass of other bodies in the rest of
the universe
Extending it to life
• Life: Life of even the smallest being is a result of
“interaction” of life in the rest of the universe.
“No one can survive by himself” That is if I destroy all
life for this earth, I will automatically cease to exist.
So when I destroy any life, I also destroy a part of
myself.
This immediately leads to the principle of non-violence
35. We are all entangled
• Entanglement: EPR paradox
Whatever happened to one particle would thus
immediately affect the other particle, wherever in the
universe it may be.
Einstein called this "Spooky action at a distance."
36. Dharma
Dharma has many meanings
• True nature
• The Path
• Is there an absolute Dharma (Path) which the
nature has shown us
The answer is yes
Live and Let Live
Non Violence
37. Anushreni Gatihi : 2/27 Avigraha Jivasya : 2/28
The movement of souls (as well as matter) is in
straight line (unless there is an external force.)
The liberated soul moves straight.
38. • Classification of substance (Dravya).
Classification of matter.
Classification of Jiva (Soul).
• Unit of space (pradesh), unit of time (samaya)
and unit of matter (anu) : are unique to Jainism.
39. Astronomy
• Description of Earth : Bharat & Airawat.
• Other lokas : Interpretation problems.
• Life in earth,water,fire,air & plant : Mobile & immobile
(Jagdishchandra).
• Recent notes : air is having living beings & life.
40. • The eternal truth of Tripadi.
• Matter (and objects) have always dual virtue :
eternity (dravya) & nonversatility (paryaya) both
at the same time.
Quantum physics and anekantvada
• Matter has its own space.Space contains matter.
If matter is zero, then space is zero.
41. • Karmavada is the heart of Jain darshan
&
• Anekant-Syadvada is the brain of Jain darshan.
• Karmavada has some relevance with genetic coding
also. Also it explains principle of causality of physics.
Karmic bonds are atomic, is a unique theory.

42. Mathematics
Science cannot progress without maths. Maths is above all
sciences, as there is no provision for conflict or ambiguity.

Astronomy: Surya Pragyapti, Chandra Pragyapti, Geography (3 rd chapter of
Tattavartha Sutra: primitive,
Nature of physical Universe (T.S.Chapter 5:
jiva/Ajiva, Energy, forces etc) can be tested.

Anekantvad - multifacedness
• Jain syadvad is a conceptual thinking. It applies not only to
matter which is visible, but everywhere. It is so perfectly
designed-it can never be challenged. It accounts the other
view points and different references.
- Vyavhar satya
- Nischaya satya.
• It also explains the relativity principle of matter, but is more
philosophical. If understood & applied, worldly quarrels will
stop forever.
49. Laws of Physics
• Laws governing Macro world and micro-world are different: Classical
(Whole= sum of the parts)
Quantum (dual behavior of electron or photon)
• Some states in quantum world are indescribable
What is called avyakta. Seven such states are possible: May be yes, May
be No, May be both, may be indescribable, may be yes and
indescribable, May be No and indescribable, May be both and
indescribable (Saptabhangi)
• As we go to the world of finer and finer (sukshma--------) particles, new
properties (or attributes) come into play ( In science they are termed as
quantum numbers or states) and all do not exist at once. Many of them
could be contradictory properties. This is the basic nature of certain things
(multifacedness = Anekantavad) .
Thus I have argued that anekantavad is a physical reality

53. Mr. Emoto decided to see what effects music had upon the
structure of water. He placed distilled water between two
speakers for several hours while playing music and then
photographed the crystals that formed after the water was frozen.

speak for themselves.

73. •
Long before existence of microscopic life was shown
and plants were considered to be living by modern
science, these facts were well established in jain
philosophy and formed the foundations of complex
practice as a corollary of nonviolence, which is the
basic tenet of Jainism.
•
That is why there is severe restriction on Ratribhojan
and drinking water without boiling. Also to avoid
Kandmul like potato and similar anantkaya plants.

food & water after sunset.

anatkaya & apathya food, so no perversions. Only eat
moderate amount and satvik food.

spices. Control over tongue, therefore all other senses. Auli to be

beings are central themes of jain religion.
• Avoid lilotaries on twelve tithis, auli days and paryushana.
• According to lord mahavir, the fate of next birth is created as
per the deeds done during these days. So do more religious
activities and avoid sachitta.

these days (as per lunar cycles).
