Jainism is one of the oldest religion of world originated on the Indian subcontinent. Jainism -- or, more properly, the Jain Dharma - has prehistoric origins dating before 3000 BC, and before the beginning of Indo-Aryan culture. Jainism is all about LIVE and LET LIVE. It believes in a cyclical nature of universe. Thus a universe without beginning, without end and without creator. Jainism begins with a serious concern for the human soul in its relationship with the laws governing existence in the universe, with other living beings, and to its own future state in eternity. First and foremost, it is a religion of the heart- the golden rule is Ahimsa or nonviolence in all parts of a person-- mental, verbal, and physical. Jains have deep compassion for all forms of life whether they are animals, plants, insects or microbes. Detailed description and classification of types of living beings and ways to minimize and avoid violence against them is given in thousands of centuries old Jain scriptures..Rishabhdev, the first Tirthankar (Maker of the Lord) of this cycle of time, is mentioned in Rig Veda, the oldest scripture of Hinduism believed to be at least 5000 years old. The objective of Jainism is to strive for Moksha or Liberation from unending cycles of Birth, Death and Re-birth. One who is liberated is called as Siddha. A Siddha is a soul which has achieved it's original state of infinite bliss and power etc. Every Jiva (living being) has the potential of becoming a Siddha and therefore God. Jainism does not believe in God as the creator of universe. God is a liberated soul (Siddha) who has attained Moksha. A role model as well as a teacher. Every human being and every living being for that matter has the potential to attain Moksha and thus become God. Philosophical principles of Anekantvad (Non-absolutism or Multi-sidedness) and Satyadvad (Relativity of truth) are unique only to the Jain system of thought. Karma theory has its roots in Jainism and is thoroughly explained. It is a belief, mentioned in Jain scriptures, that it is only the soul who earns the pious bond of the Tirthankar-nam-karma through a very high level of penance and meditation, can attain the status of a Tirthankar. During one descending cycle of time there may be innumerable omniscients but only twenty-four Tirthankars. A Tirthankar is not an incarnation of the God. He is an ordinary soul that is born as a human and attains the states of a Tirthankar as a result of intense practices of penance, equanimity and meditation. As such, the Tirthankar is not defined as an Avatar (god-incarnate) but is the ultimate pure and developed state of the soul. Thus he may be called as the God in human form. The last of the 24 Tirthankars of this cycle of time was Lord Mahaveer who lived between 599 and 527 B.C.E leaving behind the essence of eternal happiness.
