Preferred term

Jainism  

Definition(s)

  • Jainism is a non-Brahmanical philosophical tradition of India. Enriched by the deep insights of 24 spiritual gurus or tirtbankaras, from Risabha (the first) to Mahavira (the last), Jainism has its own distinctive flavor that distinguishes this philosophy from others. [Source: Encyclopedia of Time: Science, Philosophy, Theology, & Culture; Jainism]
