Jainism

In Jainism, leaders, often referred to as spiritual teachers or gurus, play a crucial role in guiding followers on the path of spiritual development and ethical living. They help interpret Jain scriptures, promote the principles of non-violence (ahimsa), truthfulness, and asceticism, and provide moral and spiritual support to the community. Leaders also organize religious activities, rituals, and teachings, fostering a sense of community and commitment to Jain values. Ultimately, their role is to inspire followers to achieve liberation (moksha) through steadfast adherence to Jain principles.

In Jainism, religious places of worship are typically called "Jain temples" rather than churches. These temples serve as sacred spaces for rituals, prayers, and community gatherings. Notable Jain temples include the Dilwara Temples in Rajasthan, India, which are famous for their intricate marble carvings.

In Jainism, harming any living being is strictly prohibited due to the principle of ahimsa, or non-violence, which is central to its ethical teachings. Jains believe that all living creatures possess a soul and have the right to live and experience existence. Causing harm to others not only impacts their spiritual journey but also creates negative karma for the individual committing the harm. Thus, fostering compassion and respect for all forms of life is essential in promoting harmony and spiritual growth.

Vastupal and Tejpal, who were prominent Jain figures and patrons of the architecture and art of the Jain temples in Gujarat, were disciples of the Jain teacher Acharya Hemchandra. Hemchandra played a significant role in the development of Jain philosophy and literature during the 12th century. His teachings and guidance greatly influenced Vastupal and Tejpal in their endeavors to promote Jainism.

Jainism is built on key structures such as the Tirthankaras, who are revered spiritual teachers, with Mahavira being the last and most prominent. The religion emphasizes the Three Jewels: Right Faith, Right Knowledge, and Right Conduct, guiding followers toward liberation. Jain temples, featuring intricate architecture, serve as places of worship and community gatherings. Additionally, the concept of Ahimsa (non-violence) and strict ethical codes shape the daily lives and practices of Jains.

Moon Agyaras, also known as Agyaras or Agyaras Chaturdashi, is observed on the 11th day of the waning moon in the Hindu lunar month of Kartika. In 1953, this date fell on November 12th. The specific date may vary slightly depending on regional calendars and time zones, but it is generally recognized on this date.

The 24 saints of Jainism, known as Tirthankaras, are revered spiritual teachers. The first Tirthankara is Rishabhadeva, followed by Ajitanatha, Sambhavanatha, Abhinandananatha, Sumatinatha, Padmaprabha, Suparshvanatha, Chandraprabha, and others, concluding with Mahavira, the 24th Tirthankara. Each Tirthankara represents a significant milestone in the spiritual evolution of Jainism, guiding followers towards liberation and enlightenment.

Jains use a beautiful word Jina for their tirthankars which literally means conquerer but not of the worldly things. It refers to conquering the inner self. So, those who follow the path of Jinas are known Jains. The word Jain has itself originated from the word Jina.

The answer to this question is not a simple one, but it is an important one. Most religions in this day and age are at peace. However, there are sects of almost every religion that are extreme. It is the extreme nature of their beliefs that cause intolerance. And because of intolerance cause hate. This is when varying religions do not interact well with each other.

Hate is the opposite of love and love is the only reason for any religion to exist. Religions are meant to join or gather people together to embrace peace, love and wholeness.

All religions have a purpose in this world and everyone has their own reason for joining a particular religion or relating to a particular religion. Whatever your reason is personal. But everyone has the right to practice their religion and everyone has the right to be respected for this right.

If the religion that you practice causes you or others any degree or harm or takes you away from love, peace and freedom. I would ask that you consider why you practice the religion.

jainism has been spread by the 24 Tirthankars in the past, in the present, and will be spreaded in the future also by the Tirthankars.

mahavira is the last tirthankar(24th) and has spread the religion most.
