Being a Jain, Great to know people are getting to know our religion
who founded Jainism?
the answer to this question is in the practice of Jainism and that is no one founded Jainism, if any normal human get the true knowledge that soul and body are different than he/she will come to know that no one in the world can destroy him/her as soul gets no harm from physical pain but body does and we have been born infinite time as human, animal,incest,etc and experience stress and problem in every life we spend hence to overcome this Stress they have to leave the possession and stop getting karmas which infect the soul which result in rebirth hence after getting true knowledge of soul and body one can enlighten and truly rest in peace, HENCE IT WAS NOT FOUNDED BY ANY ONE Jainism is just the way of living life
I second that. Well explained.
Correct . I also thought that it is nor religion it is Darshana
I wish the teacher would explain here the symbology of some of the patterns and designs of the art vs just rhetorical talk with not much in depth analysis / these manuscripts with no meaning or symbology is very dry otherwise. However Thank you for the effort

Can i get website address to look at picture book (digambara web site speaker mentioned)
Why these manuscripts r stolen why cant they be given nack to those whom it belongs to ..its their sole right to have them.
Why and who and when...took all this ..or stole this Ancient Jain artworks from India...? How they reached there from temples and jain libraries of india. How?
So is my question and why can't be it given back to Jain sangh
@@shikhaserene because indian government never helped Jains in proper way in getting back their all stolen (before 1947.. all stealing done before 1947) manuscripts, paintings, idols, alloy statues, ancient books, ancient artifacts etc etc ...back.!!
@@naturalearth8810 are you have some data about where are all our manuscripts preserved in foreign ? Will you please tell me if you have any information about that.
