HOLY GUIDANCE

04

The Prakrit language has a very significant place among the ancient languages of India. Linguists have classified the Prakrit as one of the important Indo-Aryan language group in the Indo-European family of languages. In the development of Indian languages, Prakrit has influenced almost all Indian languages, in some form or the other. Since it developed out of the languages of the common people, it is called the Prakrit language. The Prakrit literature is important not only for understanding the literature and philosophy of India but also for the study of contemporary Indian society and culture. The cultural and social life and polity of about one thousand years, from 600 B.C. to 500 A.D., is reflected in the texts of the Prakrit agamas and their commentaries . Contemplating on the importance and relevance of the Prakrit and its heritage, Parampujya Svastishree Charukeerty Bhattarakji of Shravanabelagola monastery has blessed and inspired to organise an International Prakrit Conference for four days. HH Svastishree Charukeerty Bhattarakji, a saint-scholar has been a saviour of Prakrit languages. Under his aegis the National Institute of Prakrit Studies and Research has been conducting Certificate and Diploma Courses, books are published and Seminars are conducted. Pujya Bhattarakji has, to promote Prakrit, also instituted an International Award called the Prakrit Jnanabharati International Award ,which also carries a cash prize of Three Lac Rupees( INR), awarded annually to one of the outstanding scholars in the field. The main theme of the proposed International Conference is Prakrit literature and culture. However it covers a wide range of Prakrit and Apabhramsa literature including (a) Prakrit tradition, (b) Cultural and Scientific Aspects of Prakrit texts, (c) Universe and Cosmology according to Prakrit texts, and (d) Philosophy, Religion, Spiritualism and Modern world. It is hoped that the participation of many National and International Prakrit Scholars, academic deliberations and research papers presented in the International conference, will facilitate a better understanding of the heritage of Prakrit languages and literature. We heartily welcome, on behalf of the members of Advisory Board and all authorities of MMMC-18, all delegates, guests and scholars of Prakrit. We hope that this first Prakrit International Conference, and other academic activities connected with this event, will provide a stimulus to resurrect the Prakrit studies globally.
