Importance and History of Jain Religion

India is considered a country of diversity where we can see different religions & cultures and Jainism is one of the ancient religions of the land. The founder of Jainism is considered to be ‘Rishabh Dev’ and it is also referred to as the "religion of Shamans". He is one of the 24 Tirthankars of Jains who has a reference in the Vedas. The religion is known to be peaceful and takes you to the path of non-violence, spiritual purity, and enlightenment. We get the mention of five Mahavratas in Jainism which are – non-violence, sexual abstinence, humility, non-attachment, and truth. The Jain people worship Mahavir and the knowledge of these five Mahavratas was given by him to the world. The devotees of the religion follow the specified path with great faith.

There are primarily two sects in the Jain religion known as Digambara and Svetambara. These two sects represent two varied ideologies - Digambara considers direction as clothes and Svetambaras wear white clothes. We’ve told you here about the Jain religion, its importance, and its history. Let’s move forward and look into fasting and festival dates of Jainism in 2024.
