Question

Name five vows given by mahavir swami which two vows do you like the most ? why ?​

Answer 1

Mahavir Swami was a successor of Jainism and gave five important vows.

• The five vows given by Mahavir Swami are -

1. The vow of Non-violence which is the Ahimsa
2. The vow of Truth which is the Satya
3. The vow of Celibacy or Chastity which is the Brahmacharya
4. The vow of Non-stealing which is the Achaurya or Asteya
5. The vow of Non-attachment or Non-possession which is the Aparigraha

• I like the vow of non violence the most as it is essential to live a peaceful and harmonious life. Violence is considered as a crime and leads to nowhere but punishment. It harms self as well as others. Thus, it is always advisable to live in peace.
