for a monk who has severed his ties with the world, and the other, for a householder who has a number of social responsibilities. Jaina vows are : Ahiṁsā, Satya, Asteya, Brahmacarya and Aparigraha. These are called Aņuvratas when prescribed for householder and Mahāvratas when rigorously practiced by a monk. Jaina philosophy has provided some formulas for leading efficient individual and collective life. Jainism says that dharma is made of 'nonviolence, self-control and austerity." Ahiṁsā is so central in Jainism that it may be incontrovertibly called the beginning and the end of the Jaina religion. Thus, he who is able to realize Ahiṁsā completely, though not perfectly is called an ascetic or a Muni, Householders and ascetics are the two wheels on which the cart of Jaina ethics moves on quite smoothly. Aņuvrata is the unique contribution of Jainism, which has got ability to become global ethics. The aim of individual and collective life is to achieve physical, mental and emotional perfect health. This triple health can only be obtained by doing virtuous deeds. One should never think bad of others. He should be always ready to help others and not to harm others. Samyagdarśana i.e. belief in Arhat, Ācārya and Religion preached by Arhat should always be deep dived in brain and heart of individual. Ācārya Samantabhadra proclaims that the adoration of Arhat deposits great heap of punya in the self. Positive emotions bring pleasures and negative emotions make life miserable. "Birth is misery, old age is misery and so are disease and death." The main attraction "is a safe place in view of all, but difficult to approach, where there is no old age nor death, no pain nor disease."* "The transitory condition is like a wheel at a well before one bucketful of distress is got over a large number of afflictions overtake the soul.' Jainism believes in highly disciplined ethics so it has full capability to become a new model for leading individual and collective happy and peaceful life.
