Our Values
AHIMSA
(Live and let live)
Jainısm assigns the greatest importance to the principle of ahımsa (non-violence) in lfe It occupies the foremost place amongst all virtues so much so that it is regarded as 'the divine principle or supreme law of this world' Ahimsa, observes Albert Einstein, 'is essential if mankınd is to survive and move toward higher levels'.
APARIGRAHA
(Voluntary Limitation of Wants and Possessions)
While the source of peace and happiness les within the human self and not in external things, a man devoid of enlightened vision identifies happiness with possessiveness. Mahavira's prescription for peace and happiness was the limitation of desires and nonattachment to worldly objects. Desires, he says, are 'endless lıke the sky and they will never satısfy any person fully. The more you get, the more you want. Desires increase with every gain'.
ANEKANT-VAAD
(Jain Relativism)
The concept of anekant-wad forms the cornerstone of Jain philosophical thinking. Etymologically, anekant-wada can be explained in two ways: (1) un + eka + anta + vada, i.e. not-oneside or viewpoint, theory or phlosophic position. In other words, It signifies pluralty of characteristics of a real or the object of knowledge The theory of many sidedness or manifoldness of reality, implies that in order to arrive at truth one should take into account 'all possible angles of vision regardıng any object or idea'; and (2) un + ekanta + vaad, i.e. not-one-sided-theory.
