Hemachandra

Acharya Hemachandra was a Jain scholar, poet, and polymath who wrote on grammar, philosophy, prosody, and contemporary history. Noted as a prodigy by his contemporaries, he gained the title kalikālasarvajña, "the all-knowing of the Kali Yuga".

Early life

Hemachandra was born in Dhandhuka, in the modern day, west Indian state of Gujarat, on Kartika Sud Purnima (the full moon day of Kartika month). His date of birth differs according to sources but 1088 is generally accepted. His father, Chachinga was a Modh Bania Vaishnava. His mother, Pahini, was a Jain. Hemchandra's given name was Changadev. In his childhood, the Jain monk Devachandrasuri visited Dhandhuka and was impressed by the young Hemachandra's intellect. His mother and maternal uncle concurred with Devachandrasuri, in opposition to his father, that Hemachandra be a disciple of his. Devachandrasuri and Hemachandra travelled to Khambhat, where he was initiated a Jain monk on Magha Sud Chauth (4th day of the bright half of Magha month) and was given a new name, Somchandra. Udaya Mehta or Udayan, the governor of Khambhat, helped Devchandrasuri in the ceremony. He was trained in religious discourse, philosophy, logic and grammar and became well versed in Jain and non–Jain scriptures. At the age of 21, he was ordained an acharya of the Śvētāmbara school of Jainism at Nagaur in Rajasthan where he was named Acharya Hemachandra Suri.
