| dc.description.abstract | The Jainistic doctrine of categories
This study attempts to trace Jainism to its roots in the original, pre-Vedic religion of the ancient Harappa civilization.
Vardhamana Mahivira, universally accepted as the founder of
this religion, was according to ancient Jaina scriptures, the
twentyfourth tirthankara of the present avasarpini-ara (de=
clining period), and he built the doctrine on ancient dogmas
as well as doctrines pursued by his predecessor Parsva.
Jainism is not merely a reaction against the prevalent religion
of Brahmanism in the sixth century B.C. with its predominant
animal sacrifices. | en_US |
