The Agamas of Jainism: Lessons That Still Matter

To live your best life, subscribe to our podcast What if the key to understanding life’s biggest questions had been passed down for centuries—but nearly disappeared along the way? In this episode of Wellness Curated, host Anshu Bahanda sits down with Manish Modi, a custodian of Jain literature and the great-grandson of Pandit Nathuram Premji, a pioneer in Jain publishing and social reform. Manish continues this legacy through Hindi Granth Ratnakar Karyalay, a prestigious publishing house founded in 1912. His passion for preserving and sharing Jain teachings has led him to translate, publish, and lecture extensively on the subject. But these texts weren’t simply written and preserved. They survived secrecy, memory lapses, and even opposition from within the Jain community itself. What happened when knowledge was entrusted to memory alone? Why were ancient manuscripts hidden away in Karnataka for centuries? And how did a group of determined scholars convince a wealthy patron to fund their revival instead of another temple? Beyond their history, these scriptures hold profound lessons about how to live with purpose, balance, and clarity. Mahavir’s teachings weren’t just for his time—they speak to challenges we all face today. Join us as we uncover how these ancient insights continue to shape lives, offering wisdom that remains as relevant as ever. In this episode: 0:00 - Intro 3:16 - What are 'Agamas'?
