India history and geography
Source: Singhi Jain Series: Ratnaprabha-suri’s Kuvalayamala-katha (history)Study (of the tenets of religion and philosophy) was an important part of the spiritual life in the Hermitages of ancient India, as vividly depicted in the Kathās (narrative poems) such as Uddyotanasūri in his 8th-century Kuvalayamālā (a Prakrit Campū, similar to Kāvya poetry).—Page 87.20-28: Here is a vivid description of the intellectual and spiritual life in the Aśrama of a Jaina Muni, somewhat similar to that in the hermitage of Divākara Mitra described by Bāṇa in the Harṣacarita where scholars studied, devoted and held controversies, disputations and exchange of views on several points of religion and philosophy.[...].
Uddyotanasūri gives a list of twenty-one methods of study and discussions and approaches to the tenets of religion and philosophy, e.g.,
- self-study,
- teaching,
- reflecting,
- resolving doubts,
- exposition by those who had grasped the meaning,
- listening to the texts after reciting them,
- composing new poems or Stotras,
- practising meditations and
- attending to the service of teachers,
- learning of rules of Vinaya,
- observing of Triratna in the form of darśana,
- observing of Triratna in the form of jñāna,
- observing of Triratna in the form of cāritra,
- extolling the knowledge of the Tīrthaṃkaras and their Gaṇadharas,
- interrogating about points of doubts about the scriptures,
- practising the art of disputation,
- developing points of controversies in matters relating to Dharma and Adharma,
- deliberating about Bondage and Salvation of souls,
- pursuing the stages of Śukladhyāna and Dharmadhyāna,
- condemning the evils of egoism, pride and anger and greed, and
- speaking against the suffering of the world.
The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
