Jain Philosophy
Satya darshan is Tatvagyan. Lord Mahavirswami's philosophy is based on Metaphysics being knowledge given through senses., ethics being logic of science and consciousness of the mind. Jin mean the God and Jain means the disciple of the God. The disciple can reach the same stage as of the God (Parm Atma) by following the preaching of Mahavirswami, so as to get into the purest form of soul, endless joy, freedom from the sorrow of the endless birthlife-death cycles.
The preaching of Mahavirswami is in the form of Agamshatra. As per Shwetamber principle there are 45 Agam namely 11 Aang, 12 Upang, 4 Mul, 6 Ched, 10 Paytra and 2 Chulika. As per Sthanakvasi principle they are 32 and out of them 4 are Ched, 1 is Avyashak, the Aang and Upang are same as per principle of Shwetambers and Paytra and Chulika both are absent. The Digamber principle does not give importance to Agam as they believe that during past centuries it might have lost its true identity. They believe in Parmagam being 5 Shatra written by Achgarya Kunkundacharya being Samaysar, Niyamsar, Pravchansar, Panchastikay and Ashtapahud. This sashtras are written in either Maghdhi or Sanskrit language, therefore one must have knowledge of these languages to understand the meaning of the sashtras.
