Jainism is based on the teachings of Mahavira, who is considered its 24th Tirthankara, or spiritual teacher. Mahavira lived in the 6th century BCE and emphasized principles such as non-violence (ahimsa), truth (satya), and asceticism. His teachings advocate for the liberation of the soul through ethical living and self-discipline. Jainism also acknowledges earlier Tirthankaras, but Mahavira is the most prominent figure in its modern form.
