The principles to practice Jainism are as follows: 1) 5 Mahavrat : Satya (Absolute truth), Ahimsa (Non Violence), Aprigrha (Limited accumulation), BrmhAcharya (Celibacy), Achauraya (Not to steal). By practicing this principles disciple will get virtues like wisdom, compassion, self content and self respect. 2) 8 Karma: One can get rid of first four Karmas which are due to ignorance (Gyanavarniya), Wrong recognition (Darshanavarniya), Attachment (Mohinya) and Hinderence (Antrai). The other four karmas remain with the disciple for life time and they are Human Body(Nam), Religion (Gotra), Life Span (Aayush) and Suffering (Vedan). By practicing Satsang (Meeting of likeminded people) and Bhakti (Devotion) for Sadguru as per preachings of Mahavirswami, one can effortlessly get rid of first four Karmas to become enlightened. The enlightened soul will have ultimate knowledge, remain in true identity, being detached to Human Body, invisible, Believing into equanimity, truly immortal and will have ever lasting joy. 3) Eighten sins.
