Hiiii........

Jainism (/ˈdʒeɪnɪzəm/),[1] traditionally known as Jain Dharma,[2] is an ancient, non-theistic, Indian religion,[3] founded by Jina Mahavira in the 5th century BCE[4]. Followers of Jainism are called "Jains", a word derived from the Sanskrit word jina (victor) and connoting the path of victory in crossing over life's stream of rebirths through an ethical and spiritual life.[5]Jains trace their history through a succession of 24 victorious saviours and teachers known as tirthankaras, with the first being Rishabhanatha, who according to Jain tradition lived millions of years ago, twenty-third being Parshvanatha in 8th century BC and twenty-fourth being the Mahāvīra around 500 BCE. Jains believe that Jainism is an eternal dharma with the tirthankaras guiding every cycle of the Jain cosmology.
