Bhogilal Leherchand Institute of Indology
The Bhogilal Leherchand Institute of Indology, a premier Institution of International repute, was first started at Patan (North Gujarat) in the year 1980, through the funds provided by the family trust of Bhogilal Family to sponsor and promote research in Jainology/Indology and other aspects of Indian culture.
The setting up of the Institute was inspired by Late Rev. Sri Vijay Vallabhsuriji, who laid emphasis on education as the only means to dispel the darkness of ignorance from the mind of the people. Later on, in 1984 at the inspiration of Rev. Sadhvi Sri Mrigawatiji, the Institute was shifted to Delhi with the active support of Sri Atma Vallabh Jain Smarak Shikshan Nidhi. Since then the Institute as a unique centre of excellence for Jainological and allied subjects in Indology, is working in the complex of the SMARAK.
Aims and objectives:
The academic program of the Institute is to initiate, organize and give a fill-up to research in Indological subjects in general and Jainological projects in particular. This is a fast-changing world. The scope and field of
study and research has enlarged beyond imagination. Topics like comparative religion, Yoga and Spiritualism, Vegetarianism, preservation and protection of environment, interfaith studies and research on the essential unity of all religious communities, non-possession and sustainable growth vs. consumumerism and environmental degradation have acquired popularity in the famous Universities of the West. Studies on these topics are gaining ground in Indian Universities as well. Jainology, Manuscrip- tology, Indian philosophy and culture are subjects that have enjoyed respect among the intellectuals for ages.
