This can be called a holy constitution helping to tread on the path of religion. The Sangh gives ‘Shrawakanishtapatra' to look into the studies of their own limitation and to know the defects and deficiencies as well as to contemplate on them by planning Shrawak assembly and Maryada festival. Other Traditions Taking inspiration from the thought-process of great men and their contemplation, some temples and study centres are conducted by the Jains.
