About this eBook
A faith centered on non-violence and spiritual liberation—how did Jainism shape Indian philosophy? Jainism, one of the world’s oldest religions, teaches ahimsa (non-violence), karma, and the pursuit of enlightenment. Founded by Mahavira in the 6th century BCE, it has influenced Hinduism, Buddhism, and ethical philosophy worldwide. This book explores Jain traditions, rituals, and the ascetic lifestyle followed by its monks. Despite being a minority faith, Jainism has left a significant mark on Indian culture, particularly in vegetarianism, ethics, and architecture. If you want to explore a faith dedicated to peace and self-discipline, this book is essential reading.
