Jainism traditionally known as Jain dharma,belongs to the śramaṇa tradition and is one of the oldest Indian religions. It prescribes a path of non-injury (ahimsa) towards all living beings. Practitioners believe non-violence and self-control are the means to liberation. Followers of Jainism are called Jains and must observe five major vows:ahimsa, not lying, not stealing (asteya), chastity, and non-attachment. Self-discipline and asceticism are thus major focuses of Jainism. Parasparopagraho Jivanam ("The function of souls is to help one another") is the motto of Jainism.
Jainism rejects the idea of a creator or destroyer god and postulates an eternal universe. Jain cosmology divides worldly cycle of time into two parts or half-cycles, ascending (utsarpani) and descending (avasarpani). According to Jains, in every half-cycle of time, twenty-four tirthankaras (makers of the ford) grace this part of the Universe to teach the unchanging doctrine of right faith, right knowledge and right conduct.
How dare you call jain as idiot you are not even worthy of becoming the dust which stick to their body. Our jain books have deep knowledge of atoms and subatomic particles charges etc and of various scientific facts how can you trust science which changes it words every 2 days and did you sat on cassini rock? Our each practice is ahimsak and scientific jains are most prosperous community in country you should keep quiet if you don't have true knowledge better keep in mind
