Jainism

Jain Philosophy revolves around five Principles which are termed
Mahavrata (Great Vows)

1.)     Non-violence (Ahimsa) : Not to cause any harm intentional or
        unintentional to any living being or organism bodily or even by
        thought.

2.)     Truthfulness (Satya) : Always speak TRUTH yet it should not     harm others

3.)     Non-Stealing (Asteya) : Not to take possession of anything      which
does not belong to self nor have desire for other’s     belongings. Not
to exploit anyone

4.)     Celibacy (Brahmcharya) : To exercise control over senses
        (including mind) from indulgence – that is to conquer passion.

5.)     Non- possession, Non-materialism (Aparigraha) : To observe
        detachment from people, places and material thing.      Ownership is not
possessiveness, however attachment      (Aasakti) to even owned object is
possessiveness.

Jain philosophy hold that Universe is natural and eternal and have
always existed and is occupied by living beings (jiva) and non-Living
objects (ajiva)

Jain philosophy has explained in-depth techniques to result in
clearance of past accumulated karmas as well it can be done by
cultivating one’s own personal wisdom, self conscious, self control
through Vows (Vrata).

The triple gems of Jainism are
1.      Right vision or view (Samyak Darshan)
2.      Right knowledge (Samyak Gyana)
3.      Right conduct (Samyak Chaitra)

When the soul sheds its karmic bonds completely, it attains divine
consciousness. Thus are called Sidhas.

Every soul has to follow the path as explained by Jinas and revived by
Tirthankars to attain complete nirvana and leave the cycle of birth
and death.

Some Important facts of Jainism

There are twenty four Tirthankara  and first one among them was ShriRishabhadeva as mentioned in the Yajur Veda. The 24th and the last Tirthankara was Mahavira . Mahavira was born about 580 B.C. in Northern India. Now there are about four million (as per 1991 census) followers in India. Now this figure may be much higher say about seven millions. Lord Mahavira preached atheism or the absence of god. Jainism also believes that one can achieve salvation (freedom from wheel of life i.e. rebirth). Jains use the word Karma to mean a substance that binds the soul to physical world. By causing sins you keep accumulating Karma whereas meditation and fasting burns the Karma. One can get freedom from rebirth (Salvation) only after burning the Karma accumulated in past lives.
