Lecture by Manish Modi at C P Tank + Meet Dr Kornelius Kruempelmann, German scholar of Jainism

Dear friends,
Jay Jinendra

I am  terribly sorry for this mix up.

Sunday's lecture shall be held at C P Tank. The address is given below.

On Sunday morning, there will be a lecture by Manish Modi primarily based on the Jain scripture ATTHAPAHUDA.

Date: 17 June, 2007
Timing: 10.30 am to 12 noon

Venue: HINDI GRANTH KARYALAY
9 HIRABAUG
C P TANK
MUMBAI
400 004

In addition, please make use of the opportunity to meet a great Indologist and scholar of Jainism, Dr Kornelius Kruempelmann.  Dr Kruempelmann, is an expert in Prakrit, Sanskrit and Pali and taught for many years at the University of Muenster in Germany.

He is currently working on the definitive translation of the STHANANGA SUTRA.The Sthānāṅgasūtra, or, as it is called in the original Prakrit, the Ṭhāṇaṃgasutta, was included by the Śvetāmbara-Jainas as the third of the eleven aṅga- texts into the canon of their holy books at a council held at Valabhī in the fifth century A.D.

The Sthānāṅga is subdivided into ten chapters, named eka-sthānam, dvi-sthānam and so on up to daśa-sthānam. The language of the Sthānāṅga is Ardhamāgadhī.

In it, not only the main subjects of the Jaina religion in its broader sense are listed, but also many more aspects of the Jaina conception
of the world. Besides terms such as soul, liberation, or karman, we also read of constellations, time-cycles, etc. As a matter of fact,
the Sthānāṅga is a work of extreme heterogeneity. Right in the middle of sūtras whose topic is geography or music, we learn about
medicine, karman particles, and so on. In this respect the Sthānāṅga bears a strong similarity to a notebook.

Because all topics, terms and things are thought of as fitting well with number one, number two, and so on, up to number ten, and because they are listed accordingly, the word "sthāna" in the titles of the ten chapters as well as in the title of our work means "place". The Sthānāṅgasūtra is an aṅga-text in which "terms and things" are listed in their "right place". It may be seen that the Sthānāṅga is nothing but a memory aid for an ācārya, so that he might not forget the varied subject matters he wants to teach. With this work he has a kind of guideline for his lessons at hand and can easily reply to questions asked by his disciples.

To see Dr. Kruempelmann's masterly Introduction to the Sthānāṅga, titled, THE STHĀNĀṄGASŪTRA: AN ENCYCLOPAEDIC TEXT OF THE ŚVETĀMBARA CANON, please click on the following link.

All of you are warmly welcome to meet Dr Kruempelmann and avail of his vast knowledge of the Agamas.

yours
