Jainism is an ancient religion of India. It is one of the oldest
living religions in the world.

Jains realise that all souls are equal and thus do not subscribe to any notions of inequality between human beings on the basis of race, religion, caste or gender.

Jains recognise 24 Tirthankaras or fordmakers who promulgate the eternal teachings of the Jinas (perfect beings who have conquered the senses and are beyond all desire).

Tirthankara Adinatha was the first Tirthankara of this era, and
Tirthankara Mahavira was the last.

Each of the 24 Tirthankaras taught the path of liberation, giving the same message of non-violence, self control and self restraint.

Anyone can be a Jain. There is no formal training required. No formal initiation. He / she who follows the teachings of the Jinas is a Jain.

What does this entail? Conquering one's passions, controlling one's desire for sensual gratification and acceptance of responsibility for one's own thoughts, words and deeds.

Jainism sees the soul and body as two distinct entities.

Jainism knows that the soul is eternal, whereas the body is impermanent.

Jainism believes that the soul, when it sheds all insentient matter, is of the nature of pure bliss.

The two come together when the soul is encumbered by passions and hence attracts fine particles of insentient matter called karmas, which cause temporal bondage.

Jainism shows the process whereby the soul can shed this insentient matter, ridding itself of temporal bondage and attaining eternal bliss (which is its own true nature, merely obscured and impeded by the presence of karmas).

Those who walk this path without any compromise, are known as ascetics. They are fully committed to the goal of liberation.

Those who follow this path partially are known as laypersons. While they realise the importance of liberation and the flawed, impermanent and vexing nature of temporal pleasures, they are unable to commit themselves fully to the goal of liberation.

Jains worship the Tirthankaras as they are liberated beings who have shown us the path of liberation.

Jains do not believe that worshiping the Tirthankaras or anyone else can gain them spiritual or worldly goals.

Jains do not believe in an omnipotent being who runs the Earth according to his / her wishes. Jains believe in personal
responsibility and hold each living being responsible for its own acts of mind, speech and body.

Jains worship the Tirthankaras in order to imbibe their spiritual qualities, chiefly their attribute of VITARAGA, or being supremely unattached.

The quest of each mundane soul is to attain this supreme unattachment, which would lead to the dissociation of all karmas from the soul thus resulting in eternal bliss as only a soul free from all karmas may attain its intrinsic quality of eternal bliss.

नमस्कार महामंत्र सर्वदा सिद्ध मंत्र है। इसमें समस्त रिद्धियाँ और सिद्धियाँ विद्यमान हैं। शान्ति, शक्ति, संपत्ति तथा बुद्धि के रूप में विश्व में पूजित शक्तियों का आधार नमस्कार महामंत्र ही है।

नमस्कार महामंत्र में जिन परमेष्ठी भगवन्तों की आराधना की जाती है उनमें तप, त्याग, संयम, वैराग्य आदि सात्विक गुण होते हैं। अरिहन्त, सिद्ध, आचार्य, उपाध्याय और साधु, ये पाँच परम इष्ट हैं। इनको नमन करना नवकार मंत्र है। मंत्र अपने आप में रहस्य होता है, किंतु नवकार महामंत्र तो परम रहस्य है।

इसके बलपर दुःख सुख में परिणत हो जाता है। नवकार मंत्र के स्मरण, चिन्तन, मनन और उच्चारण से ही प्राणी जन्म-जन्मांतरों के पापों से मुक्त हो शाश्वत सुख में निवास करने लगता है। नमस्कार महामंत्र माता-पिता, स्वामी, गुरु, नैत्र, वैद्य, मित्र,प्राणरक्षक, बुद्धि, दीपक, शान्ति, पुष्टि और महाज्योति है।

New Delhi, April 21 , 2008 (IANS):  The Jain community in the capital is raising the pitch for minority status on par with the Buddhists, Christians, Sikhs, Muslims and Parsis, listed as notified minority groups under the Delhi Minorities Commission Act, 1999. Members of the community say they want minority status primarily because they want to incorporate Jainism, the religion of the community, as a subject in Jain schools. The capital and its adjoining areas have eight Jain schools. They are not being able teach Jainism to their children because most of the Jain schools in Delhi are partially funded by the government, which doesn't allow the teaching of any particular religion at schools unless it is a minority community.  
   Members of the Jain Samaj had assembled at Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit's home Saturday to celebrate Mahavir Jayanti, the birth anniversary of Lord Mahavira. According to official estimates, there are 480,000 Jains in Delhi. The Jain community is known for its social work and service in the sphere of education. Underscoring the need for minority status, Chakresh Jain said Jains were included in the list of minorities in seven states across the country - Maharashtra, Karnataka, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and West Bengal (which enacted a law to bring the community under the minority fold three weeks ago). According to 2001 Census, the Jain community forms .45 percent of the population.  Delhi is one of the few states where the Jain community has nor been granted minority status,he said.
