Found and PM Modi’s Praise for the efforts we make to protect India’s Wisdom: PM Modi is here in the name of Acharya Shri Kailasasagarsuri Gyanmandir Manuscript efforts Manuscripts. Introduction. Narendra Modi recently praised Acharya Shri Kailasasagarsuri Gyanmandir for the good work on manuscripts and has raised awareness on all the work that is being done by Acharya Shri Kailasasagarsuri Gyanmandir. There are teams on the way to keep it well preserved in the country that really care about maintaining India’s ancient manuscripts. As people of India we need a culture of values which will stay intact.
The Gyanmandir has become the centre where they keep manuscripts in hand and what covers philosophy, literature, science and spirituality. There exist generations-old manuscripts that are written on palm leaves or handmade paper which need fine-telling. Through conservation methodologies old as these have been as well as digitization this institution protects these fragile works.
Manuscripts are more than just old texts; they are living notes on India’s intellectual and spiritual life path. So preserving them is a significant task for scholars, students and everyone else today. With assurance of their well-being, in the Gyanmandir is an encouragement and inspiration to future generations as to how the wisdom of India is being channeled in these manuscripts.
Preservation is a laborious thing. Many manuscripts are found with antiquarian characteristics, with damage from time, insects or neglect, and thus, are only a little better not the right way in which to begin with. So, you need patience, skill and time to try to bring back your old things. And there aren't many people in Gyanmandir that know how modern technologies are used or know what manuscript conservation is supposed to look like.
The work of Gyanmandir is in keeping with a larger movement in India to safeguard our culture. The digitalization process of manuscripts and publishing them which are easily accessible for everyone to research help the institution contribute to world knowledge. It also helps others and inspires others to organise a similar campaign and that way we create a network of preservation and create a culture of identity of India. To PM Modi’s satisfaction with this way this work is the right and most important to our nation.
The efforts of Acharya Shri Kailasasagarsuri Gyanmandir to preserve the manuscripts are proof that manuscripts can be a bridge between past and future while establishing the bridge to learn and to learn that ancient writings can connect the past with how it will be in the present. These initiatives gain momentum and become visible with encouragement from the leadership of the likes of the Prime Minister of India. And people such as them who do everything to ensure that India’s past and wisdom are preserved. But we make sure it’s very much our job in India that is to retain and celebrate our people (and culture) in our heritage by doing so and by being the guardians which is always with culture.
