Dr. Medhavi Jain, Founder of Dharma for Life, made impactful academic contributions this December by presenting two research papers at esteemed national and international conferences, further strengthening the organisation’s commitment to integrating ancient wisdom with contemporary life. Her first paper was presented at the National Seminar on “Omniscience in Jain Tradition in the Perspective of Indian Philosophy,” organised by the Bhogilal Leherchand Institute of Indology (

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

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

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

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

If you are an atheist it means you still have that fire in you. Fire to ask questions...fire to be rational...fire of not following anything blindly. Dharma is for intellectuals. It is for those who want all the answers logically. Yes, it may possible that one can get it if he is dumb. Because in this case you are blank & ready to learn. You are open for new ideas. It's not for those who are mere blind followers. One has to has a level of intelligence & understanding to under

Hello dreamers! I know all of you have some unfulfilled dreams, there are some things you badly want to do, achieve. Some of you want to earn money & get famous. Some of you want to be future leaders & want to change the world. I know them all, I listen to all your wishes, silently. You know the universe works according to some rules. One of the rule is if you want something honestly & wish for it from the depths of your heart, the whole energy around you gets charged with yo

My dear Pandits & Gurus, You are the ones who are supposed to be closest to all the deities, including me. Well some of you really are, but many of you are far away what you are supposed to be. In fact many householder men & women have much higher spiritual level than you. You people are the torchbearers of the society but if a torchbearer starts to forget his role or make wrong use of his torch, then there has to be a revolution. And as I can see a revolution is round the c

My dear women, my dear Shaktis, I'm happy to see you as my devotees as each one of you somewhere & somehow represents me too. I'm really humbled by your worshipping. However, now a days, I have some complaints with some of you too. Ladies, this universe has two prominent factors, the masculine & the feminine. All the men represents the masculine factor & obviously you represent the feminine one. This universe is incomplete without any one of you. Both of you have to recognise

My dear bhakts, I'm really humbled & obliged by your devotion towards me. You do everything to please me, to seek my blessings. You keep fasts, decorate temples & my idols. These things make me really happy. However I do have some complaints also. In some things you have indeed misunderstood me. I love all the decoration & jewellery you put on me; however you should not forget that I'm a spiritual deity. More than anything else I want your bhavas. Which should be pure. Since

"Hello humans, why don't you mind your own business. If you think I've created this universe, then why don't you think that too; that I can take care of myself. So, stop fighting on my name & accept the truth that it's the negativity inside you, which wants to kill people on my name. I'll be happy if you listen to my plea. Thank you!!!" -GOD

A date with myself, A cup of tea with myself. It rejuvenates me, It illuminates me. When there is no one but only me, My silence, my time, my peace & me. This is a time when I can sit back and think correctly, To analyse every situation & decide carefully. This date with myself is essential, This conversation with myself is vital. It makes me a good human being who is not biased. Who is not bound by the narrow thinking of the society, Who is deep, sound and has sobriety. A da

Whether we believe it or not, but this is the karma theory. It's scientific & minute and working every minute, every minutest time. We can consider these blocks our different lifetimes, minutes, seconds, months or years. It tells us; what goes around, comes around. -Medhavi :)
