Question

who was founder of Jainism .write 4 about him and his teaching

Answer 1

Founder of Jainism was Lord Mahavira. The teachings of Mahavira were compiled by Gautama Swami { his chief disciple } and were called Jain Agamas . These texts were transmitted through oral tradition by Jain Monks , but are believed to have been largely lost by about the 1st century when they were first written down. According to him with the decay of the karmas the intrinsic value of the soul can be highlighted and the soul shines in full luminosity. Mahavira also believed that the emancipation of man doesn't depend on mercy of any outside authority. The man was the maker of his own destiny. Jainism also rejected the theory of the Vedas and attached no importance to the sacrificial rituals of the Brahmans . Mahavira laid too much importance to on Ahimsa.
