भारत में साधु-संतों को आध्यात्मिक मार्गदर्शकों के रूप में देखा जाता रहा है. जिनकी शरण में गृहस्थ व्यक्ति न केवल मन की शांति पाने एवं सही ज्ञान अर्जित करने हेतु जाते हैं अपितु जब जीवन में संघर्षों का चरम हो एवं कोई राह न सूझ रही हो तो लौकिक मार्गदर्शन हेतु भी जाते हैं. आज के बदलते परिप्रेक्ष्य में भी हमारे देश में अधिकतः हम विवाहित महिलाओं को अपने परिवार के वरिष्ठों द्वारा 'दूधों नहाओं, पूतों फलो' जैसे आशीर्वाद देते हुए सुनते हैं तो सोचने पर विवश हो जाते हैं कि क्या हम वाकई बद

I express deep gratitude for the life of a remarkable man — a dedicated scholar, a devoted husband and a loving father. His journey was one marked by dedication, compassion, and an unyielding pursuit of knowledge, leaving behind a legacy that will inspire not only the present generation but the generations to come. I remember that despite staying away from fame and public gatherings, Vijay Sir was always available for the genuine seekers. One could have gone to his home in D

Recently, I had the opportunity to watch a podcast conversation between my father, Dr Anekant Kumar Jain, and Dr Medhavi Jain, Founder of Dharma For Life. It turned out to be one of the most meaningful experiences I've ever had. As a teenager growing up in a world filled with noise, confusion, and constant distractions, this podcast felt like a breath of fresh air. It wasn't just a conversation — it was a doorway to deeper thinking. Throughout the podcast, Medhavi aunty aske

The Dharma for Life (DFL) team, led by Dr Medhavi Jain, Founder, recently undertook a spiritually enriching and purpose-driven visit to the sacred city of Ayodhya. The three-day visit was marked by profound spiritual experiences, deep engagement with revered Jain ascetics, and meaningful discussions centred on DFL’s future projects. This visit reaffirmed the team’s commitment to blending dharmic values with research initiatives. Day One: A Divine Beginning The first day beg

As their next quarterly project Dr Medhavi Jain, founder of Dharma For Life , introduced a new segment, ‘ धर्म चर्चा with Youth’, and in this series, she organised a thought-provoking podcast discussion featuring a diverse panel—three philosophy scholars, including Dr Medhavi Jain, Dr Natalia Zheleznova, and Dr Preeti R. Jain, alongside three Gen Z participants: Ms Muskan Jain, Ms Divyanshi Jain, and Ms Mannat Malik. The discussion was woven around the concept of Dharma, off

An efficient and senior scholar gets to know one’s intent, analyses the seriousness of the seeker in a very subtle way, and gives guidance in return in a subtle and indicative way. I am lucky to be able to seek guidance from many eminent scholars in my academic pursuits. Dr Parasmal Agrawal is surely one of them. Very recently, I went to Udaipur and met him and his smiling wife at their residence. I am sharing a few of our past conversations in this blog. I recently reque

लगभग दो महीने पहले एक शाम मिर्ज़ापुर से फ़ोन आया. फ़ोन पर दूसरी ओर श्रीमती पूजा गुप्ता जी की मधुर एवं सधी हुई आवाज़ थी जो मेरी लेखनी की भूरी भूरी प्रशंसा से युक्त थी. मैं अचंभित थी कि आख़िर मेरी पुस्तकें उन तक कैसे पहुंचीं. बातचीत के दौरान पता चला कि सभ्या प्रकाशन के संस्थापक एवं अभिवन इमरोज़ के संपादक आदरणीय श्री देवेंद्र बहल जी ने मेरी कुछ पुस्तकें पूजा जी को भिजवाईं, पूजा ने भी उन्हें अपनी स्टडी में दफन करने के बजाय उन्हें न केवल पढ़ना चुना अपितु मेरा नंबर प्रकाशक से लेकर अपनी प्

Spiritual knowledge is incomplete without experiencing it at the horizontal dimension. When our belief in good cinema was almost at a dying edge, there came a few movies that transcended the constrictive boundaries of how much money was being spent on making them and how famous were the stars in them. After 12th Fail, where despite the most adverse circumstances, the courage to own stark honesty was shown, I watched Chamkeela, Laapataa Ladies, and Manjummel Boys. The impact o

On the sunny afternoon of April 6th, 2024, Dharma For Life, a unit of the Tulip Foundation, became a hub of intellectual discourse and celebration. Professionals, Homemakers, and people from all walks of life gathered to honour great Indian women in Jain literature and reflect on the evolving essence of womanhood. The meticulously organised event offered a platform for fruitful discussions among scholars, professionals, and laypeople. The program commenced with a warm welcome

Garbage is not that which we see openly in our surroundings but that which we get rid of secretly, in a way which one is unable to grasp that how much harm that causes to our environment, and in the long run to mother earth. Be it physical garbage or abstract. Imagine an Indian household almost 40-50 years back. One will picturize one coming back from outside, washing all the uncovered parts of body before entering the house, changing the outdoor chappals with the inhouse on

When a 95-year-old, looks back at his life, he is distant enough to see and analyze its occurrences, how events took place, how achievements were accomplished and how the cosmos worked in his favor in various adversities. And when that man is a scholar, the observation becomes even deeper. As soon as I opened the book & start reading the foreword by Dr. John E. Cort, as a researcher myself, I could feel that the connection was made. Because the very first paragraph is what e

Sometimes one finds that quality of transparency, dedication & satisfaction in a work culture which can be a role model even for the bigger corporate cultures. I was feeling a bit awkward visiting a naturopathy centre for the very first time in life because I was completely unaware of its happenings and schedule. But to my surprise all my confusions and dilemmas were treated in a healthy & positive way especially by all the lady staff. They were indescribably good & helpful

During her family life often she invests too much of herself into all the relationships, be it emotions, feelings, or physical devotion. Women spend more time at home & hence with their children & husband and all the other relationships. With time she gets more & more involved and this involvement leads to the preparation of an abstract bridge of expectation that makes her believe that they will return all the care and warmth she is manifesting in them. Whereas it happens jus

Truth is bare, bitter & ugly The only beauty of it is that it takes us towards freedom Freedom of the soul, karma & what not Day: 24th June, 2018 Place: Downtown, Toronto, Canada Event: LGBT Parade I was handed over a pamphlet with the PRIDE colours on it, somehow I took it & had a random look, that mentioned the word 'SPECIESISM' means discrimination based on species & that pamphlet requested to end it. A quote was also written on it: "We don't need to oppress others to l
