	Re: Definitive dates (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		The only traditional date for Mahavira's birth is 599 B.C. Admitting a life of seventy-two years, the modern Jain calendar is anchored on the year of his passing in early November, 527 B.C. All years subsequent are denoted in terms of the Vira Samvat convention, whereby our current year is Vira Samvat 2523.
		These dates are supported by the Shvetambar Siddhanta canon which one finds in the chronology recorded in the Kalpa Sutra.
		The original corpus of this text was authored by Arya Bhadrabahu in the fourth century, B.C. The other date which you have mentioned (which I have usually seen published as 548 B.C.) is actually based on a peculiar reading of the much later Jain History written in the eleventh century by Acharya Hemachandra.

		He explains in a footnote concerning the Jain accounts of Makkhali Goshala that this anecdote is in fact does not relate a non-vegetarian incident, but is most likely a common case of faulty translation: ----- The circumstances surounding this cure are controversial.
		First of all, even Shvetambaras would never suggest that the Jina was so attached to life as to personally desire a cure [the Bhagavati Sutra being a canonical text from the Shvetambar Jain tradition].
		The controversy raised among Jains by Kosambi's remarks was of course restricted to the Shvetambar community; Digambaras, who deny that a Kevalin eats anything at all...found the entire issue irrelevant.

	Great Ascetics
		Teacher - student lineages recorded separately by both the Shvetambar and Digambar traditions join each other when they are traced back to Bhadrabahu, the very last individual to have attained the state of Shrut Kevalin, an authority on the 14 original Purva texts handed down from Mahavira’s own times.
		In the Shvetambar tradition, Brihatkalpa, Vyavahara, and Nisitha are considered his works.
		In the southern state of Tamil Nadu, atop a hill known as Ponnur Malai, on a large stone under a certain champa tree pilgrims may come across an engravedpair of stylized footprints (charan).

		By ascending the steps we may enter the ground floor of the garden from where we may go inside the temple.
		The temple is planned like other Shvetambar Jain temples having a Garbha-Griha, Gudha-Mandap, Trika-Mandap and Ranga-Mandap.
		Its plan is definitely different from other Shvetambar temples, as it does not have Trika-Mandap and others.

		While there is a degree to which this is a valid observation, when comparing the Jains with traditions such as the Buddhist or Christian, it is still only partially true.
		The differing attitudes toward ornamentation of Jina images between Digambar and Shvetambar Jains is striking.
		Shvetambar images also start out as stone (or metal), but almost never remain as such in a temple setting.

		His flight from India was dramatic, and stories describe Jain lay people stretching themselves on the ground in front of the plane to stop his departure from India and from orthodoxy.
		Muni Chitrabhanu had been initiated as a Shvetambar monk in 1942, and had been traveling on foot in India for 31 years, living within traditional parameters, before deciding at the age of 51 to come to America, settle in New York, and marry one of his disciples.
		Several renunciants of this kind, called Bhattaraks in the Digambar tradition, have come to the U.S. but, because they are so thoroughly Indian in their world view and context of teaching, they have not been fully effective in communicating with American-born second generation young people.

		This talk investigates a key theological difference between the Digambar and Shvetambar Jains concerning the nature of the Jina--of the divine, of God.
		This difference is rarely articulated in texts, but is immediately apparent to anyone who enters both a Digambar and Shvetambar temple.
		The talk therefore also addresses issues of methodology in the study of religions, and the relative weight given to texts and material culture.

	Welcome to Jain Center of America, New York.
		Whereas both the Sky-clad Digambaras and the Murtipujak Shvetambaras worship the Jina idols, both of them differ in their attitudes towards ornamentation of Jina images and preparing the Aangi.
		Both, the Digambar as well as the Shvetambar images are either made of stone, Panch-dhatu [metals] etc. but, while the Digambar images are plain, simple, bare unpainted and unadorned, the Shvetambar idols have an altogether different look, with eyes painted with different colors or glass eyes affixed permanently.
		According to the Sky-clad worshippers- lack of ornamentation after the performance of Ashtaprakari Pooja characterizes the Jina as a sense-conquering, world-renouncing ascetic, whereas for the Murtipujak Shvetambars, the employment of ornamentation emphasizes the three stages in the life of a Jina: The Balya-avastha-childhood, the royal Kinghood phase and the Shramana-ascetic stage

		The mendicant most centrally involved in the publicizing of the Osian Mahavir temple as an important regional Jain pilgrimage shrine was one Jnansundarji.
		This brilliant and idiosyncratic mendicant had "converted" from the iconoclastic Shvetambar Sthanakvasi sect to the iconodulic Shvetambar Murtipujak sect (one of dozens of mendicants who made such conversions in that period).
		However, rather than follow in the mendicant lineage of his conversion guru, he single-handedly set out to create a new mendicant lineage, the Upkesh Gacch.

		Increasingly, major Jain temples aiming to create just such an atmosphere are being built in the U.S. The Jain tradition does not speak with a unanimous voice on the matter of these stone and metal images of the Tirthankaras.
		Murtipuja means, literally, the "worship of images." While two Shvetambar sectarian groups, the Sthanakvasis and Terapanthis, reject image-worship, both Digambar and Shvetambar Murtipujak traditions include the honoring of the Tirthankaras with rites of puja.
		The laity earn merit by supplying the sadhus and sadhvis with food and necessities, just as they do by contributing to the maintenance of the temple or the performance of puja.
