$\bf \large Introduction:$

Vardhaman Mahavir, the 24th and last Tirthankara (saint with divine power), was the founder of Jainism who first preached it in the sixth century B.C. Born to a Kshatriya chieftain at Kundagrams, near Vaishali, he left his family at the age of 30 and set out in search of true knowledge.

$\bf \large Life \: of \: Mahavira:$

In fact, the real founder of Jainism was its 24th Tirthankara, Mahavira. His childhood name was Vardhamana. He was born in a suburb of Vaisali, called Kundagrama about 540 B.C. His father, Siddharatha, was a wealthy nobleman of the Naya clan and his mother, Trishala, was the sister of Chetaka, an eminent Lichhavi prince of Vaisali. He was married to Yasoda and had a daughter called Priyadarsana. He left his family and became a monk after the death of his parents at the age of 30.

He abandoned his clothing after thirteen months and became a naked monk. After 12 years, near the village Jrimbhikagrama on the bank of the river Rijupalika, he got enlightenment under a Sala tree. Hence-fourth, he was called Mahavira.

He also became known as Jina (conqueror of passions) or Nirgrantha (free from worldly fetters). The remaining thirty years of Mahavira’s life were spent in preaching his doctrines. The main areas of his activities were confined to the boundaries of Magadha, Anga, Mithila and Kosala. His followers were called Nirgranthas or Jainas. He died at Pawa (Pawapuri) in Nalanda district (Bihar) at the age of 72 about 468 B.C.

$\bf \large Jaina \: Sanghas:$

Mahavir divided his followers in eleven Ganas (groups), appointed individuals as heads to look after each Gana and assigned them the responsibility of propagating his message among the people. Those heads of the Ganas established separate Sanghas for the propagation of Jaina religion.

The members of the Jaina community were divided into four groups called the Bikhsus (monks), Bikhsunis (nuns), Sravakas (male-disciples) and Sravikas (female- disciples) respectively. Among them the Bikhsus and Bikhsunis led lives of sanyasis and sanavsins respectively while the Sravakas and Sravikas led lives of Grahasthas (family-lives).

Bikhsus and Bikhsunis had to lead a life of complete Sanyas. They had to forgo all physical pleasures of life and adhere to every principle of Jainism strictly. They could not use any article even of comfort, e.g., even use of umbrella and shoes, chappals etc. were prohibited for them. Their sole aim in life was to lead a pious life and building of character. By avoiding evil deeds and performing good deeds, they were expected to move towards the goal of Nirvana.

$\bf \large Jainisms \: Contribution \: to \: Indian \: Culture:$

Jainism has helped in enriching Indian culture, particularly in the fields of literature, architecture and sculpture. Though the language of its religious texts had been Prakrat, it helped in giving a literary shape to some spoken languages of India. Besides, Jaina-texts were written in Sanskrit, Kannada, Tamil and Telugu as well which helped in enriching Indian literature. Its contribution to art reached its zenith in the eleventh and twelfth centuries.

The temples and idols still existing in various cities such as Mathura, Gwalior, Junagarh, Chittor, Abu and other places within the teritories of Rajasthan, Madhya Bharat, Bundelkhand, Mysore and Orissa have been accepted as some of the best specimens of Indian architecture and sculpture, particularly the temples of Abu, the Jaina tower at Chittorgarh, the elephant caves of Orissa and the 70 feet high idol of Gomateshwara or Bahubali in Mysore.

Beside, Jainism certainly, helped in developing the attitude of kindness among the Indians. It has participated in the propagation of the ideas of non­violence, attitude of benevolence towards the poor and needy and welfare of birds and animals. The Jains have established hospitals for the care of birds and animals at several places. Thus, it has helped in developing humanism among the Indians.
