LORD MAHAVIRA
Jainism is a religion propounded by a `Jina'. Principles enunciated by a `Jina' constitute Jainism and the follower are known as a `Jaina'. Further, a `Jina' is neither a supernatural being nor an incarnation of an all-powerful God. The word `Jina' means the conqueror or the victorious, i. e., one who has conquered the worldly passions by one's own strenuous efforts. In this site you will find About Jains. Find about Ahimsa, Namokar Mantra, and Lot More. Of all religions of the world, Jainism is the only religion which has the principle of Ahimsa as its central doctrine. The other religions also speak of Ahimsa whenever convenient but they never offer such loyalty to the principle of Ahimsa as is found in this religion.Jainism alone has given a unique position to the doctrine of Ahimsa and has based its ethical code entirely on the complete observance of the tenet of Ahimsa in all its aspects. Jainism is the only religion in the world which has given maximum attention to the important practical aspects of the theory of Ahimsa so that Ahimsa, in it's minutest details, can be actually observed both by the lay followers and ascetics in their everyday life.
