Jain relativism with Hinduism and Buddhism. 7. Jaina Sacred Centres (Tirthas). 8. Jaina declaration on nature. Bibliography.

Jains only worship five worshipful ones alongwith some godlings specifically Yaksha and Yakshis who are 48 attending guards of the 24 Tirthankaras. Through worship observance and participating in institutionalized festive occasions the majority of ordinary laymen and women youth and children satisfy their religious hunger gratify religious sentiments give vent to their religious zeal and identify their moral requirements. Jainism does not believe in any supreme being supernatural powers incarnation Gods and Goddesses.

There are no signs of infidelity. In Jainism the principal objects of worship are the five worshipful ones (Panch Parameshthins) the Arhats the Siddhas the Acaryas the Upadhyayas and the Sadhus. 251 pp. …

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Contents Preface. 1. Jainism and Royal patronage. 2. Jaina social order. 3. Jaina caste system. 4. Jaina communities historical development. 5. Jainas social conduct. Bibliography. This is a study of Jaina Social Life in Ancient and Medieval India. The Jaina society had always been dynamic and value based. It is a fact Mahavira never differentiated between Aryans and the non Aryans the rich and the poor the peasants and the business community while addressing his sermons. The great teachers religious discourses were for all. He even admitted despised Mlechchas and low caste people in Jaina church. As such Jainism never attached importance to the prevailing caste system rather opposed it. In Jainism Jati has been used to describe the mundane conditions of the Jiva (soul). It believed men of all Kulas (Clans) are competent to attain salvation. It never accepted birth as a basis of caste. It declared that actions of man are the main determinants of his social status in life. A man's high or low status is because of his Karman (actions). A man belonging to upper caste becomes low if his actions are degenerating. For a follower of Jina caste is a trivial consideration. As such there were no community restrictions in Jainism of yore. There is mention in Jaina texts that Orthodox Vedic Brahmans were highly upset of Jaina catholicity. In later days Hindu Puranas attacked Jainism and Buddhism for admitting low caste Sudras in Jaina and Buddhist church. 300 pp.…

Followers of Mahavira in Jaina literature. 6. Mahavira wanderings and monsoon camps. 7. Jaina tradition after Mahavira. 8. Rich tradition of Jainism. Bibliography. Index. The present volume deals with the antiquity and historicity of Jainism which attracted the attention of Indian and foreign scholars interested in the study of Jaina religion and philosophy. The book based on earlier researches and studies traces the long history and a large continuing presence of Arhat tradition which is pre Aryan as also proved by the finds during the excavations of Mohen Jo Daro and Harappan sites and references in Dharama Shastras. In pre historic times Jaina culture and religion was founded and propagated by the first Tirthankara Rishabhadeva and popularized by the other ford makers. However Mahavira a contemporary of Buddha and the twenty fourth Tirthankara enriched Jainism and attracted a large number of followers in his fold. Undoubtedly he organised his followers into a compact social and religious order quite distinct from Brahmanic and Vedic society. The book also depicts the continuing rich Jaina tradition after the nirvana of Mahavira. This publication will prove to be of great reference value to those who are interested in studying the history and long tradition of Jainism. 276 pp.…
