a valient fight with the accumulations of karma till they shed off or fall out in entirety. Liberation from the karmic bondage has remained the goal, throughout ages, of human-aspirations (puruşārthas). For a person who knows the strategy in the fight against karma, the fight against crime does not in any way remain a problem. He builds up immunity against criminal tendencies and inclinations. Lord Mahavira had established a society (samgha) of persons who adopted either the Five Great Vows or the Mini-vows 2525 years ago and the society still exists although divided into sects and sub-sects of Svetambara and Digambara Jainas. The constitution, the code of conduct and discipline and the ideals of non-violence, non-attachment and non-absolutistic approach towards truth are unique and unequalled as disclosed in the Jaina Scriptures and shall continue to provide guideline for ages to come for the sufiering humanity.
