Introduction


      Jainism, one of the most ancient faith, is a living religion in India today. It has its own original philosophy and science. Its teachings may be briefly summarized as

  • Love and friendliness towards all living creatures.
  • Malice and hatred towards none.
  • Non-violence and Non-absolutism.

The essence of knowledge is conduct. Hence ethical discipline is prescribed to affect all round development of an individual- ethical, social and spiritual. Universal compassion, friendship and forgiveness constitute the core essence of Jainism. It emphasises Ahimsa in practice and Relativity in Thinking.
