A Brief History of Jainism
Discover the profound wisdom of one of the world's most ancient and ethical religious traditions.
From its origins with the enlightened teachers known as Tirthankaras over 2,600 years ago to its modern global influence despite numbering only 4-5 million adherents, Jainism represents one of humanity's most rigorous and compassionate spiritual paths. This comprehensive history traces the remarkable journey of a faith built on the revolutionary principles of non-violence (ahimsa), truth, and the liberation of the soul from the cycle of rebirth.
A Brief History of Jainism chronicles the extraordinary development of a religion that has maintained its core principles while profoundly influencing Indian philosophy, ethics, and culture. Discover how Jainism's uncompromising commitment to non-violence and spiritual purification has created a tradition of remarkable moral consistency and intellectual sophistication that continues to offer profound insights for modern ethical living.
