One of the oldest religions in the world is Jainism, or traditionally known as Jain Dharma. Originating from ancient India, this philosophy centers around concepts such as right perception, right knowledge and right conduct in the attainment of moksha, or realization of the soul’s true nature. The concept of ahimsa, or non-violence, is of equally great importance.

Thus, with compassion for all life, practitioners of Jainism follow a pure vegetarian (vegan) diet. Jains follow the ancient wisdom of the 24 Tirthakaras, or prophets, whose teachings comprise the Agam sutras, the religion’s holy scriptures. Lord Mahavira, who is considered to be the last Tirthakara, was born around 5-6th century BCE, as a prince of the ancient kingdom of Vaishali. He later forsook his royal status to pursue the spiritual path. After attaining keval jnan, or all-knowing intuitive vision, he spent the rest of his life giving discourses on spiritual truths, which form the present-day tenets of Jainism. We present to you today excerpts of Uttarâdhyayan: Lectures 3-6 from the second book of Jainism’s Akaranga Sutra.

Thank you, kindhearted viewers, for your gentle company for today’s episode of Between Master and Disciples.
