: HereNow4U: CoJS Newsletter Issue 12 March 2017Nathuram Premi (1956: 229) gives a brief history of Malkhed, a village with two ruined Jaina temples, in the Gulbarga District of Karnataka state. Malkhed was the capital of the R膩峁ａ弓rak奴峁璦 King K峁涐梗峁嘺 III in 966 CE. Around this time, the famous (艢aiva turned) Jaina poet Pu峁adanta, the author of the Apabhra峁兣沘 Prakrit Mah膩pur膩峁嘺, mentions how this city (M膩nyakhe峁璦/ Ma峁囜箛akhe岣峚) was looted and burned by the Param膩ra King Siyaka-Gurjarar膩ja in 艢aka 894 (=972 CE).
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, 鈥榮elf-reliance鈥�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
