Jainism

As you are probably aware, Jainism rose in the 6th century as a revolt against Hinduism. They believe in asceticism, immortality of the soul and the transmigration of the soul. They do not believe in a perfect and supreme being. They are people, sadly mis-informed but they would probably do as any other, seek the quickest most effective treatment. A guy told men one time that if you shave one half of your head and set the other half on fire, the lice would all run out so you could hit them with a hammer. I did not try it nor do I recommend it.

There are two sects of jains : Digambar and Shwetamber(Most of their beliefs are similar). The monks of Digambar sects do not wear clothes.

Reason: They must follow 5 rules strictly and at there best which are

1. Non-Violance 2. Truth 3. Non Stealing 4. Celibacy 5. Non-attachment to materialistic things

By not wearing clothes makes them follow rule 1st and 5th.

Thank You!

Jainism is most probably an Indian religion. (Jain roots have also been found in South Asia and parts of Central Asia.)

Jains believe it to be an eternal religion, with no origin, or without any founder.

Some people believe that Chandragupta Maurya defeated the greatest Greek ruler, Alexander the Great. Some do believe that he actually that his commander.

Primarily Jainism assumes that the Universe, with all its components, is without a beginning or an end, being everlasting and eternal. The wheel of time incessantly revolves like a pendulum. In the first half circle from the descending to the ascending stage where human prosperity, happiness, and life span increases and in the second half circle from the ascending stage to the descending stage where prosperity, happiness, and life span decreases. In Jain cosmology, space is not infinite, although it is large. It is also empty. In the center of space rises the great Mount Meru.

Reality itself is a kind of indeterminate state, having the qualities of birth, death, and persistence. The world can be looked at from many points of view, each of which renders a different aspect. The Janis developed something they called the sapta-bhangi or sevenfold formula for discussing reality. It is a typically Indian way of looking at things.

Shanki kalash is a symbol of peace & harmony. Hence Shanti kalash is performed to proclaim peace and harmony all around the world. (Bharti Jain)

this is wrong. if your chakra density is high enough you can channel it into parts of your body and even shoot it from your forehead. i've also seen the ability to wrap it around other objects to manipulate them. it takes years of training. dont try it if you dont have a abnormally strong chakra network or you will die.

Mahavira died at the age of 72.

Fasting without food wash the Karma or attain Moksha is wrong because real meaning is different. Krishna said when you eat or do any karma in keeping Him ( Krisna) in front you will have no bondage of any Karma ( Good or Bad ). Real fasting done by Mahavir that he ate every bite with keeping Soul in front means what I am eating is for body but i am soul. This is real fasting done by Krishna and Mahvir but jains made it different. In real Mahavir never fasted single day without food. Jain fasting is not good for body and you can not achive any purity by fasting . The purity should be within in Mind. Therefore Moksha achieved by Mind (MAN) ,Vatchan (SPEACH) and last Body (kaya).
