The title of our journal, "Ariham Loya Vijjaa," written in Prakrit language, is a thoughtful and deliberate choice, reflecting the journal's core values, mission, and vision. Each word in the title has been carefully selected to convey the journal's commitment to intellectual excellence, pursuit of knowledge, and community building.

"Ariham," the first word in the title, is derived from the concept of "Arham," which refers to a group of purest souls. In ancient Indian philosophy, the term "Arham" denotes a state of spiritual purity, where the individual ego is transcended, and the self is united with the universal consciousness. By invoking this concept, the journal aims to create a community of scholars who embody the qualities of intellectual humility, open-mindedness, and a passion for knowledge.

The second word, "Loya," is derived from "Loka," which means world or universe. This term reflects the journal's aim to explore and understand the complexities of the world around us, encompassing various disciplines and fields of study. By using the term "Loya," the journal acknowledges the interconnectedness of all phenomena and the need for interdisciplinary approaches to understanding the world.

The third word, "Vijjaa," is derived from "Vidya," which means knowledge or wisdom. This term represents the journal's pursuit of knowledge and wisdom, seeking to illuminate the path to understanding and enlightenment. By emphasizing the importance of "Vijjaa," the journal reaffirms its commitment to intellectual curiosity, critical thinking, and the pursuit of excellence.

Together, the title "Ariham Loya Vijjaa" signifies the journal's vision to cultivate a community of scholars who seek knowledge, wisdom, and intellectual purity, with the ultimate goal of illuminating the world around us. The title reflects the journal's values of intellectual excellence, interdisciplinary approaches, and community building, and serves as a guiding principle for the journal's editorial policies and practices.
