  • Tenets of Jainism
    • Belief in God: Jainism recognised the existence of god but placed them lower than Jina (Mahavira).
    • It did not condemn the varna system but attempted to mitigate the evils of the varna order and the ritualistic Vedic religion.
      • According to Mahavira, a person is born in higher or lower varna as the consequence of the sins or the virtues in the previous birth. Thus, Jainism believes in the transmigration of the soul and the theory of Karma.
    • It mainly aims at the attainment of liberation, for which no ritual is required.
      • It can be attained through three principles called Three Jewels or Triratna i.e.
        • Right Faith (Samyakdarshana)
        • Right Knowledge (Samyakjnana)
        • Right Action (Samyakcharita)
    • Five Doctrines of Jainism
      • Ahimsa: Non-injury to a living being
      • Satya: Do not speak a lie
      • Asteya: Do not steal
      • Aparigraha: Do not acquire property
      • Brahmacharya: Observe continence
