À propos de cette revue
Samyak: An Undergraduate Journal of Jain Studies is a peer-reviewed and open-access journal published by the Jain Studies Program at the University of North Texas. Through research and engagement, we seek to promote the values of generosity, pluralism, and compassion for all sentient beings.
Numéro courant
The inaugural issue of Samyak includes a special feature on the 2025 Jain Cultural Festival at the University of North Texas. Our cover art is "States of Mind and the Path to Mokṣa: A Journey of Liberation," (oil on canvas) by Shaily Jain, Pathshala Coordinator at the Jain Society of North Texas: "The colors symbolize the six Leśyās, each representing a state of mind, from darkness to purity. The central symbol embodies the five-stage journey toward Mokṣa, guiding the soul from ignorance to liberation."
