Jai Jinendra.

We have now opened the registration for the Global Teams to participate in JAB @ JAINA 2025 in Chicago (Jul-4th-2025). Attached is the announcement document if any teams/Pathshala kids from around the world are interested in participation.

https://bit.ly/JAB-2025-global

The Jain Academic Bowl is a team competition for young Jains which is held biennially at the JAINA conventions. This competition tests the overall knowledge of students on Jain Philosophy, Jain History, Jain Conduct, Jain Literature, Ritual sutras, Tirthankars, Revered Jain personalities, the Jain Way of Life, and more. It also tests the ability of participants to answer quickly.

This competition is in a “Jeopardy” type of format. The participant teams “buzz in” to answer the questions. JAB is a great experience for all participants. It helps increase their knowledge of Jainism, provides opportunity to forge new friendships with Pathshala students in North America, and much more.

Announcing JainGPT – A Semantic search for Jain literature
(chatgpt for Jain Literature)

We are thrilled to unveil our latest achievement: JainGPT.org, a website powered by Semantic search & Machine Learning, dedicated to Jain literature. Our team member has been hard at work, processing an immense collection of over half a million pages of literary texts. The outcome of these efforts is nothing short of remarkable - a robust semantic search capability, akin to the incredible ChatGPT by OpenAI. This feature allows you to delve deep into Jain texts, making it easier than ever to uncover their true meanings.

खामेमि सव्वे जीवा, सव्वे जीवा खमंतु मे।
मित्ति मे सव्वे भुएसु, वेरम मज्झं न केनेइ।।

On this great day of Samvatsari,
I request your Forgiveness,
if I may have hurt you,
Intentionally or Unintentionally
by Thoughts, Words or Action.

तहेव फरुसा भासा, गुरुभूओवघाइणी।

~~~

तथा कठोर और प्राणियों का उपघात करनेवाली, चोट पहुँचानेवाली भाषा भी न बोले।
ऐसा सत्य-वचन भी न बोले जिससे पाप का बन्ध होता हो।

~~~

The monk should not use harsh words or speak what is harmful to other
living beings
even if it is true, because it is sinful.

न लवेज्ज पुट्ठो सावज्जं, न निरट्ठं न मम्मयं।
अप्पणट्ठा परट्ठा वा, उभयस्सन्तरेण वा।।१६।।
- उत्तराध्ययन 1/25

~~~

(भाषा-समिति-परायण साधु) किसीके पूछने पर भी अपने लिए, अन्य के लिए अथवा
दोनों के लिए न तो सावद्य अर्थात् पाप-वचन बोले, न निरर्थक वचन बोले और न
मर्मभेदी वचन का प्रयोग करे।

~~~

Even when enquired, a monk ought not to utter a sinful word, a
senseless word, a heart-rending word either for the sake of oneself,
or for the sake of another one, or for the sake of both.

तहेवुच्चावया पाणा, भत्तट्ठाए समागया।
तं उज्जुअं न गच्छिज्जा, जयमेव परक्कमे।।१५।।
- दशवैकालिक 5/2/7

~~~

गमन करते समय इस बात की भी पूरी सावधानी रखनी चाहिए कि नाना प्रकार के
जीव-जन्तु, पशु-पक्षी आदि इधर-उधर से चारे-दाने के लिए मार्ग में इकट्ठा
हो गये हों तो उनके सामने भी नहीं जाना चाहिए, ताकि वे भयग्रस्त न हों।

~~~

Similarly, one ought not to walk on straight within the midst of such
living beings of all sorts as have gathered together (on the wayside)
with a view to feeding themselves
this is how one ought to move cautiously.

इन्दियत्थे विवज्जित्ता, सज्झायं चेव पंचहा।
तम्मुत्ती तप्पुरक्कारे, उवउत्ते इरियं रिए।।१४।।
- उत्तराध्ययन 24/8

~~~

इन्द्रियों के विषय तथा पाँच प्रकार के स्वाध्याय का कार्य छोड़कर केवल
गमन-क्रिया में ही तन्मय हो, उसीको प्रमुख महत्त्व देकर उपयोगपूर्वक
(जागृतिपूर्वक) चलना चाहिए।

~~~

Not paying attention to the objects of sensuous enjoyment and not
taking up the study of five types, one should walk cautiously
absorbing oneself in the task of walking and giving all out prominence
to the task of walking.
Note:- The five-fold methods of study are: Reading of sacred texts
(वाचना), questioning the teacher (पृच्छा), revision by re-reading
(परावर्तन), pondering over what has already been studied and learnt
(अनुप्रेक्षा) and reading illustrative stories (धर्मकथा).

फासुयमग्गेण दिवा, जुगंतरप्पेहिणा सकज्जेण।
जंतुण परिहरंते-णिरियासमिदी हवे गमणं।।१३।।
- मूलाचार 1/11

~~~

कार्यवश दिन में प्रासुकमार्ग से (जिस मार्ग पर पहले से आवागमन शुरू हो
चुका हो), चार हाथ भूमि को आगे देखते हुए, जीवों की विराधना बचाते हुए
गमन करना ईर्या-समिति है।

~~~

इर्यासमिति consists in walking along a trodden path during day-time
when required to move out for any work, looking ahead to a distance of
four cubits and avoiding the killing of tiny living creatures.

जयं चरे जयं चिट्ठे, जयमासे जयं सए।
जयं भुंजंतो भासंतो, पावं कम्मं न बंधइ।।१२।।

~~~

यतनाचार (विवेक या उपयोग) पूर्वक चलने, यतनाचारपूर्वक रहने,
यतनाचारपूर्वक बैठने, यतनाचारपूर्वक सोने, यतनाचारपूर्वक खाने और
यतनाचारपूर्वक बोलने से साधु को पाप-कर्म का बंध नहीं होता।

~~~

A monk who moves cautiously, stands cautiously, sits cautiously,
sleeps cautiously, eats cautiously and speaks cautiously would not be
bounded by the evil karmas.
