What is Jainism ? Vidya Vardhi Shri (. R. Jain, Bar-at-Law. Jainism is a science and not a code of arbitary rules and capricious commandments. It is a Practical Religion of Living Truth. It is a religion of men founded by men, for the benefit of men and all living beings. It goes to nature direct for the study of all kinds of problems subjecting everything to minute enquiry and critical examination. It is a fource of everlasting infinite happiness and a true path of real truth. It is a source of independence, freedom, self-realisation, self-responsibility and a brave non-injuri. ousconduct.
Jainism maintains that all men, women and living beings in the Universe possess ability of fulness and perfece tion, which is marred by the operation of their own action & by their own efforts, they may check the further influx of karmic matter & destroy its past bonds The life of Jain Tirtbankaras, who attained omniscience by tbeir own efforts in the very manhood is an experienced example for all worldly creatures that Jainism enables even one however lowly or vicious; to enjoy -ver-lasting infinite bliss, infin te knowledge and infinite energy 1.
