Abstract

Jainism, is one of the most seasoned religions on the planet, began in India around the sixth century BCE. Established in the teachings of the Tirthankaras, especially Mahavira (599-527 BCE), it emphasizes peacefulness (Ahimsa), truth (Satya), non-possessiveness (Aparigraha), and self-restraint. Jainism rejects the concept of a creator and spotlights on self-freedom through spiritual purity and asceticism. Historically, Jainism evolved development with Buddhism and Hinduism, shaping India's spiritual and philosophical landscape. Separated into two fundamental factions — Digambara (sky-clad) and Svetambara (white-clad) — Jains follow thorough ethical and monastic customs. Their sacred texts, the Agamas, provide guidance on conduct, cosmology, and metaphysical beliefs. The basic teachings of Jainism conclude around the doctrine of karma and reincarnation, where soul is responsible for its destiny. A definitive goal is to attain Moksha (freedom) by eliminating karmic bondage through ethical living, meditation, and self-restraint. Jains practice strict vegetarianism, avoid harm to all living beings, and emphasize truthfulness and self-control. Morally, Jainism has evolved with modern challenges while maintaining its core principles. This article explores Jainism's historical turn of events, significant beliefs, moral evolution, and the further philosophical insights that have permitted it to get by for centuries. Understanding Jainism provides significant lesson on peaceful concurrence, self-discipline, and an amicable lifestyle.
