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

I bow to the countless seekers of truth who have searched and found the absolute. I bow to all the founders of all the thought schools of India, who ignited the spark of seeking and provided some solace in some form to the seekers. I was delighted to stumble upon an online course, ‘An Introduction to Indian Philosophy,’ during one of my Facebook scrolls. I am so glad I instantly joined it, as I have always felt the need for a platform that provides all the answers to queries

Very recently, I received yet another work of devotion and wisdom from the famous scholar of Jainism, honorary Mr Vijay K Jain, titled Kalyāṇamandira Stotra, written by Ācārya Kumudacaṁdra in 6th Century CE. Mr Jain has not only beautifully translated all 44 ślokās of the Stotra but has also added explanatory notes, wherever needed, to make the reader grasp the essence of the prayer. What impresses me the most about this Indian philosophy is that it motivates one to find the

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

Dawn arrives Because it has to. It doesn't wait for anyone To be happy or sad about Wanting or not wanting Loving or hating. It's beyond mere constrictions And so does the sun, the moon The wind, the ocean, the earth. They are honest Hence calmer Fearless & unanswerable. Pleasant day pals!!! Medhavi :-)

Do you believe in miracles, I do. When noons are 43 degrees high, And rains come in the night, How temperature falls from 40 to 25, How hot air turns into cool wind. Isn't it a miracle quite? When it's day which seems like night, Full of black clouds & full of strife. Then all of a sudden the sun starts to shine, Isn't it a miracle quite? How season changes from winter to spring, Spring to summer & summer to rainy, Rainy to autumn & then again autumn to winter bright. Isn't i
