The Library

Ten thousand volumes, opening slowly to the world

The Kendra holds a philosophy library of more than ten thousand volumes on Jain and yogic thought. We are digitising it, title by title — scanning older works and running them through careful text recognition so each becomes searchable and accessible, not merely a flat image of a page.

Because recognition is never perfect, every text is reviewed and corrected by hand before it is published.

More titles are added as the digitisation of the library continues.

From shelf to screen

Older printed works and manuscripts are carefully scanned, page by page.

02

Recognised

Text recognition reads the Gujarati and English so the words become searchable.

Reviewed

A reader checks and corrects every page by hand before the title is published.
