Knowledge - it is important to remain a free thinker. For this reason, we have taken a step back, into the history of Jainism, to see where our current knowledge of the religion comes from. During the sixth century BCE, the Jain's most recent prophet, Mahavir revived the religion, and our current practices and beliefs stem directly from his teachings. However, there was no writing during his time and so his teaching were passed down orally from teacher to pupil until they were finally compiled into texts. This section includes these texts as well as acharyas, the Jain's spiritual teachers, who were particularly prolific in their work. Panels in this section - Jain Dharma Through Time, Jain Scriptures, Kalpasutra, Tattvartha Sutra, Jain Acharyas (4th Century BC - 2nd Century AD), Jain Acharyas (5th Century AD - 7th Century AD), Jain Acharyas (7th Century AD 16th Century AD), Jain Shravaks, Jain Shravikas
Jain Contribution - Many of the things in this section are amazing because you had previously believed them to be of Western scientific origin. This brings to your attention as to how advanced and scientific the religion, and its members, truly was. We have again kept this authentic by providing quotations from the ancient Jain scriptures. Panels in this section - Religion and Science, Jain contribution to Atomic Science, Applied Physics, Mathematics, Biology, Anatomy & Physiology, Psychology, Cosmology
