Awesome video! I would love to see you cover Animism, which was the belief of all the peoples of the world if you go back far enough, and was probably the belief held for the longest amount of time. Tens or hundreds of thousands of years. It was sort of a predecessor/set the stage for polytheism
Could you also cover Aji Saka/Ajivaka/Ajivika's teaching like agama Sunda Wiwitan, Kejawen, Kapitayan belief? He is our unifying figure in Indonesia who introduced agama tirta (animism-dynamism), Saka calendar and aksara Hanacaraka/Javanese script. His birthplace is in Bumi Majeti/Kali Serayu river in Jambudwipa according to purwacarita (folklore)... Thank you 🙏
Trans theistic- a wonderful term to help others grasp some of Jainism and Theravada Buddhism. MLK was influenced by the Ahimsa of Ghandi! ❤ Truly a heroic path to aspire to.
It did not emerge in 5th or 6th century BCE. Mahavir swami the last tirthankar of this second half cycle was born during that time. Jainism is an eternal religion and it is mentioned in Jain scriptures that the first Jain tirthankar of this second half cycle Lord Aadinath/Rushabhdev was born millions of years ago. One cycle has 48 tirthankars therefore it is an eternal religion and not just few thousand years old

Don't let us compete and say which one is more peacefull or better don't dream of any kind of domin ancestors. ALL LIVING things must eat other living things to survive.We need to ruse above that stage where yogic mind becomes highly elevated it is fed directly by the cosmic soul and eating drinking is unnecessary. Autobiography of a Yogi mentioned is made of a mother Bala Giri who did not eat for many years.When you realise there's only you that exist there's no competition. THAT SUPREME BRAHMA ONLY ONE COSMIC BEING
This is the most evolved religion in some ways, but seems like the practice of sweeping will cause insanity and a few other ones that will cause nerosis,
"Thousands of people have come to me and gone. There was a time I was surrounded by Jainas. Unfortunately I was born in a Jaina family, so naturally my first audience was of Jainas. They were immensely happy because I was saying things which they had never thought about, I was interpreting their scriptures in a totally new way. They had great hope in me. They thought that... Their religion has remained very small; it is the smallest religion in India. And it is the ancientmost religion--it is more ancient than Hinduism. But what calamity has happened? Even today there are not more than thirty-five lakhs of Jainas in a country of nine hundred million people. What has happened? Jainism is at least seven thousand years old--that is at least. It can be more, older, because in Harrappur and in Mohanjodro two ancient cities have been excavated, and Jaina statues have been found in those cities. Now it is a scientific fact that those cities were destroyed somewhere between seven thousand and ten thousand years ago, and that is a very conservative estimate. But even if we take that estimate, in ten thousand years the population of the Jainas has remained negligible--thirty-five lakhs. That is not worth any consideration! That is why in the great religions of the world Jainism is never counted--never counted with Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism. They are great religions, and they are all very new as far as Jainism is concerned. Because of my interpretations they had a tremendous hope in me, that perhaps I may spread their religion to the whole world, take the message to the whole world. But they were unaware--they were my first audience--they were not aware what kind of man I am: I cannot support anything which my heart is not ready to support. So a few things I have supported in Jainism--people were very happy. But the moment I started telling about things which I cannot support, they were shocked. I have walked on their fingers. Just a small thing--which is so rational--and the Jaina community...their supreme command decided to expel me. I wrote a letter to them saying, "Don't be stupid. I expel you all from my life. You don't have to expel me; you cannot. I am no more part of you." And what was the reason? I addressed a Jaina conference and told them, "You are the oldest vegetarians of the world. You eat the purest food, but you have not produced a single Nobel prize winner. What is your contribution to art, to music, to science, to mathematics, to painting, to poetry? What is your contribution to the world? There are the Jews who get forty percent of all the Nobel prizes, and the rest of the world has to live only on sixty percent." And I told them, "The reason is--I have deeply enquired into the matter--that in vegetarian food something is missing which is necessary for intelligence. That is why you have remained retarded." Vegetarian food is not complete, and particularly for intelligence certain vitamins are missing. Those vitamins can be found in meat. Certainly I cannot support non-vegetarian food. Even though it gives you better intelligence, it destroys your very soul; it makes you cruel, violent, inhuman. So I suggested to them, "I have found something which should be immediately accepted if any intelligence is left in you, and that is eating eggs which are not fertilized, non-fertilized eggs. They are not living, there is no life. If you leave them they will simply rot and disappear. There is no life in them because the male sperm has not entered into the mother's egg; the mother has grown the egg without the male sperm. It is not alive, so there is no harm in eating it. It is vegetarian." Suddenly they were very angry. I am suggesting for them to eat eggs, and they are afraid even to eat tomatoes, because tomatoes look like meat--just the color, poor tomatoes...How can they conceive of themselves eating non-fertilized eggs? Somebody stood up and said, "Maybe that is right that they are not living, but they are coming from animals." I said, "So is milk; what is the difference? If you are avoiding anything that is coming from any living being, your children are from the very beginning against Jainism; they are drinking their mother's milk. And you are drinking milk"--and Jainas drink milk and milk-made products more than anybody. They cannot enjoy meat and non-vegetarian foods, so to substitute they have invented thousands of ways of delicacies made of milk products. But the very word `egg' was enough for them to leave me completely; the Jainas disappeared. I was dangerous! I was teaching something that they have never done in ten thousand years. No scripture of theirs suggests anything about it. But they were absolutely unable to answer my questions--"If you are eating the purest food, your intelligence should have been the purest flame, the sharpest genius, the most creative, but it has not been so." And immediately--they had come to me because they thought I was supporting their system, but I am not supporting anybody's system--they disappeared.... Now the vegetarians are very much against me. They would like to kill me--although they are vegetarians. They don't want to kill anybody, but as far as I am concerned, they are ready to kill me: "This man is going to teach people to eat eggs.""
Bad attempt to tarnish Jainism About milk Our religion if followed strictly also states not to drink milk of animals About people hating you Even if what you say is true about vegetarians trying to kill you they stopped being Jain the moment they thought of it. Violence even in thoughts is wrong
Great vid. But all these religious are a pain to find and follow one. The best religion for liberation is; something with morality, some kind of dietary order, prayer for forgiveness each day, because you've got to breathe and eat and inevitably some little creature may perish unwittingly.
Wrong emoji It is ☸️ Buddhism Like Buddha taught about the middle way in his first sermon, many of Jainism's teachings go too far to another extreme. Middle way is to facilitate enlightenment by avoiding the extremes of self-gratification on one hand and self-mortification on the other. People say Buddha allowed (i don't think allow is the correct word for this) people to eat meat. Yes that's true. When an animal wasn't killed to be your meal, you can eat it's innocent. And what do you benefit from vegetarian diet? You won't stop butchers from killing animals and selling meat. It's pointless. Though i do think vegetarian is a good thing. Many Buddhists chose vegetarian diet too. Good video. Though. ❤
Uhhh. Here we go with mispronounced Sanskrit words. Tirthankara is pronounced Theer-thunk-era. And not Tear-tunk-aara. But that said, the British are to blame for providing very poor and inadequate use of diacritics (accent marks) to help us pronounced Sanskrit words. The letter 'a' when extended, as in the word 'father' or 'far' was accented as Ā by the British but current dictionaries use Ä whereas the Ā is used as in 'Ate' or 'Date.' My only other comment is about Ahimsa, or 'not-harming.' Sounds grand, but life has always lived by killing other life ever since life started evolving on earth. Jains don't want to taint their karma by ploughing the earth, but don't seem to care that the rest of us have to do so. Seems quite selfish to me. Humanity needs to approach life as one community. Without ploughing the land for grains, humanity would not have survived.
Perhaps, rather than worrying about what other people are doing, they *allow* others to believe and do what they will as we are all responsible for our own selves and deeds. There is nothing selfish about it. I, for one, say "live and let live". ✌🏻
All authorized religions that God has sent to guide humanity r peacefull , it's just the wrong type of people we allow to con us to interpret it for their selfish interests that violence starts
I think Taoism is more peaceful than Buddhism. IDK a lot about Jainism but as it’s represented here, it seems to me more peaceful than Taoism. When a Buddhist decides to cross over into violent action, watch out! You’d better put your head down and keep it down. 😬
The Buddha taught the ''middle path''. Jainism is heroically ascetic -some great monks lay down and die (fasting) so as not to cause harm. Harmlessness is part of the skillful means of Buddhism, of course.
@theworld01268 How? Yahweh was the original God of Israel that led the Hebrews out of Egypt. But of course, you wouldn't understand since you are a heathen.

Awsome video! well explained principles & practice of Jainism.

Thank you! Definitely, I will keep these suggestions in mind!

Thank you for your support and your suggestion. I put Animism on my list!
Could you also cover Aji Saka/Ajivaka/Ajivika's teaching like agama Sunda Wiwitan, Kejawen, Kapitayan belief? He is our unifying figure in Indonesia who introduced agama tirta (animism-dynamism), Saka calendar and aksara Hanacaraka/Javanese script. His birthplace is in Bumi Majeti/Kali Serayu river in Jambudwipa according to purwacarita (folklore)...

The term Tirthankara is pronounced like “tear tan kara” the t and h are not pronounced like “thanks.”

Very little difference between Buddhism and Jainism
Looks very similar to Aji Saka/Ajivaka/Ajivika's teaching (animism-dynamism) like agama Sunda Wiwitan, Kejawen-Kapitayan religion in Indonesia...
I would respectfully disagree!
The most peaceful religion with a swastika is the epitome of irony!
Jainism: the most peacefull religion in the world🌍🌏
Meanwhile buddhism: am i a joke to you?
I think Taoism is more peaceful than Buddhism. IDK a lot about Jainism but as it’s represented here, it seems to me more peaceful than Taoism.

Buddha allowed their deciple to eat whatever they get from people, including non-veg.
