What should be main aim of modern day pathshala
The main aim of a modern-day Jain pathshala should be to:
- Build strong Jain संस्कारs in children
So they grow with faith in the Nav Tattva, Panch Parameshti, and Tirthankars.
- Teach Jain values in practical life
Especially Ahimsa, Satya, Aparigraha, Brahmacharya, and Anekantvad.
- Connect knowledge with conduct
Not only learning scriptures, but also living Jain principles in daily behavior.
- Create love and respect for Jain Dharma
So children feel pride in their religion, culture, and traditions.
- Develop a spiritual and disciplined life
Including prayer, meditation, samayik, and basic religious practices according to age.
- Prepare the next generation
So they can preserve Jain Dharma, seva, and sangh tradition in a changing world.
In simple words, a modern pathshala should teach Jain dharma in a way that is understandable, practical, and inspiring for today’s children, while keeping the original purity of Jain values.
