Searching for a truth and vision beyond the immediate, yielding to the need to find a power that animates all living things and their surroundings, man invented religion. Religion gave meaning to his existence.
I come from the west but have had a real liking of buddhism for years, only recently i discovered jainism and its ahimsa teachings. What a proud legacy India has left the world.
- Jza - u can say any religion is false or fake, just u can say it has flaws. Myself a buddhist Love Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikkism while Respect all other religion n there is no in following all religions.
Yes, plants also have life. And yes, in order to survive we have to eat something (even eating the lowest-being). But that's why Jainism teaches that the KARMA OUTFLOW should be greater than the Karma INFLOW. That's why Jain monks and Tirthankars (highest level of enlightened beings) also have to repent for killing plants so the karma can be erased. When net karma = 0, then only can the Soul attain Nirvana. If Soul has any bad karmas OR any good karmas, it can not attain Eternal Nirvana/Liberation. Good karmas only give good happy life with little suffering and bad karmas give only suffering life with very little pleasures. When Net Karmas = 0, which is possible by meditation and actions prescribed in the Jain doctrine of Karma, then only can the Soul attain Nirvana.
Sneha Vora but how can net karma be zero? The aftermath of any deed will be cumulated into the karma circle. So, if one does good he will be rewarded fairly and uf he does bad, he will be tried.. then, isn't the idea of net karma an utopian thought ?
Aiswarya Rajagopal For shravak we focus on gaining good karma. For monks they focus on zero karma. There is a complete and long process through which karma can be zero. The jainism explain in very very detail how the karma can be zero . It is not possible to write everything here. You know the main motive and teaching of all the ancient jain granth is to teach how karma can be zero. Infact the main motive of jainism to teach a path for complete elimination of karma. Have a nice day☺
Jay M I am jain and after reading many ancient jain holy books I am telling you this is the most amazing religion. And the best thing is there is no compulsion on anyone to do anything. We are advised to do anything based on our capacity.
As a Hindu and Indian I love all the 4 Indian or Dharmic religions.If we hate our own Dharmic religions then there would be no difference between us and Abrahmic religions as all 3 Abrahmic religions born in middle east but they have conflict among themselves
You forget to include Sikhism which also has similar origin and all the religions inspired by rig Vedas and developed as per contemporary needs and human awareness that time .
Apoorv Saxena Mahayana or Theravada? Mahayana isn't true Buddhism, it was created later and leaves out much of budhhas teachings, Theravada has the no soul doctrine, ever heard it it?
I am sorry but facts about Jainism in the starting are not correct. Load Mahavira as rightly mentioned was 24th Thirthankara ...but Jainism is not just practiced only on his teachings ... we are Jain believe that there is no starting or the end. Yes the earth will end someday but it will come again and again and again as it has been done infinite times and will happen infinite time. What I mean to say is there was no starting of Jainism. However we have different "kaals" . And for this kaal our 1st Thirthankara load Rishabnath started Jainism.
@Rip and tear! Guts there is no historical evidence of Killing by Brahmin. And there is a conspiracy to mix both Veerashaiva and Lingayat as one and same but they are not the same as Veerashaiva admits and supports vedic practices but Lingayat/Basava philosophy is not.
As all Indian religions are dharmic religions. We should be proud that only India is the single country where 4 religions born or originated from the oldest (hinduism) to newest (sikhism) religions.
SANATAN DHARMA is the Mother of all Religions whether it's sikhism -Jainism-Budhism Shintoism-cristian-islam-judaism-parsian but SANATAN DHARMA itself is not a religion it's a Seeking Culture,Truth ,Way of Life and Dharma ⛳🚩🚩⛳🚩⛳🚩🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇳🇵🇳🇵🇳🇵🙏 Proud to be HINDU and HINDUSTANI(Indian) 🙏⛳🚩🇮🇳

The Narrator's English accent sounds Britisher but his pronunciation of Indian names & words are commendable. I haven't herd such clear & precise Indian names & words pronunciation from a Britisher.
Akshay Patni exactly. The video is giving wrong, incomplete knowledge. Jainism has no starting. In this "kaal" We had 24 Thirthankara ..1st was Rishabnath. He started Jainism in this "kaal". In previous kaal We had other 24 Thirthankara ... And on and on..as we believe this is happening since infinity and will happen forever. There is no beginning and no end. However a kaal consist of particular No. Of thousand years then new kaal starts. As so on as on.
The ancient organized spiritual path of India was Jainism. Before Buddhism the Shraman culture was introduce by Jain monks. The idol worship was not present in early Jainism. This was included later by the influence of the Buddhist idol worship, which was existed in Mahayana & Bajrayana. The practice of Vedas was done by the Aryan Brahmins, those who carried these practices from central Asia. That's why we got the similarities in between Rigveda and Zoroastrian Avesta. Buddha period was existed in India for more than 2000 years from it's birth and once it was a globally popular religion, which was influenced by the atheist part of Vedas & Jainism. But later Buddhism distracted by it's followers from Hinayana Buddhism which was the real Buddha pantha. An atheist spiritual way was slowly changed into Polytheism because of society demands & by the monks. Later Hinduism was formed slowly by the Aryan Kings & Brahmins with the ending of Buddhism by continuing the practice of idols worship which was present in Jainism and Mahayana-Bajrayana Buddhism. That's why we can find the similarities in between Hindu deities and the deities of Jainism & Buddhism.
Actually aryan invasion theory is a myth. It was created by britishers like bishop cardwell , max miller, etc to divide north india and south india. You would find shivling and many other things at harrapa site.
Wrong. Sir your knowledge is not complete. There are so many Jain temples and monuments which are way more older. I am a Jain and I have seen it from my eyes.
Jainism is the oldest religion in the world, based on the teachings of Ahimsa(Non-Violence) or reverence for all living beings. There in NO founder, There is NO creator ! The universe is eternal and the earth we live in , is just a small spec in comparison . Non-Violence, Truth, Celibacy, Non-Stealing, Non-Possessiveness are few of the main beliefs. The Jain cuisine is completely vegetarian and also excludes underground vegetables such as potato, garlic, onion etc, to prevent injuring small insects and microorganisms, and also to prevent the entire plant getting uprooted and killed. There are about 4 million Jains in the world. Their aim is to achieve liberation of the soul (becoming God themselves ) by not being born again in another body. Jains believe this can be achieved through a life devoted to non-violence,compassion and the rejection of possessions. It does NOT derive from Hinduism, Budhism or any other faiths. It’s always been there since time (forever). Beside the 24 Thirthankers , 608 souls achieve Moksh every 6 months. They are all Gods - They achieve eternal peace and can know the past ,present and future if they want to - but they have no desire to.
Sanatan dharm god are real but the appearance explained is fictional . Thow every religion has taught good things but these are people and influencers who have turned the rules according to them.
Who said to u that jainism is founded by mahavira he is the last teerthankar but he is not the founder its started by rishabh deva who is the first teerthankar of jainism so plse first confirm what u are said
Hello bro, Rishabha dev is the first Thirthankar of Present tense (Varthaman kaal). And past tense (Bhoot kaal) 24 Thirthankar's were there. Jainism is not founded by Rishabha dev. It's from anaadi kaal .
Jainism is a separate religion and is not an offshoot of any religion. In fact, the original name of India (Bharat) came from Jainism. Bharat was the son of Tirthankar Rishabha (the 1st Tirthankar of Jainism). See below link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_India#Bh.C4.81rata
Even Hindu scripture - Srimad Bhagvatam, Chapter 5 also says that Jainism is the oldest religion. It refers back to Tirthankar Rishbha and says that Bharat (name of ancient India) came from Jainism. bhagavata.org/canto5/c5-contents.html
Sneha Vora i don't want to argue with you because i love Jainism but you should know that sanatana dharma has all detail about creation, sustain and destruction.Hindu cosmology , the universe is cyclically created and destroyed.Deeply rooted in the texts of Hindu literature, including the Vedas and the Puranas , is the belief time is divided into four epochs or Yuga, of which we occupy the final . In roughly 432,000 years, it is believed that the Avatar Kalki , the final incarnation of Vishnu, will bring the end time (i.e. a time of climax of world events). Hindu cosmology also describes aspects of evolution , astronomy, and astrology.The Hindu timeline is considered by some to be the closest to modern scientific timelines. It suggests that the Big Bang is not the beginning of everything, but is just the start of a present cycle preceded by an infinite number of universes and to be followed by another infinite number of universes.
Mahavir was NOT the founder of Jainism ! The first Thirthankar ( in this Era) was Rishabnath Bhagwan Age (592.704 × 10^18 years) = 5920,000,000,000,000,000,000 year old Jainism is the oldest religion in the world, based on the teachings of Ahimsa(Non-Violence) or reverence for all living beings. There is NO creator.
@@Sahil-dz5ur First you have to ask yourself- What is God to you. Then you have to ask yourself, If God is the all powerful and supposedly created the world, humans, animals etc , Why was he unfair and made some people poor and some rich - If I was God, I would have made all people equal. If I had the power, I would have made perfect species that only look up to me and no one else. Why was he unfair and make someone disbaled ? Is he playing and enjoying seeing unfairness and pain of his creations ? I could go on and on, but you first need to understand and accept the basics concept of the person called God. We do not believe that God can do anything to us.We do not beg to him for things etc In Jainism , we can all become God - which means that you do not get born again and feel the pains of normal life
Just sitting here as a reply is posted to my comment from 3 years ago, and I'm going... Why the heck did I watch this? Nothing to do with anything I'm interested in.
This ridiculous statement that "Hinduism is a way of life and not a religion" is why the Indian government after independence protected Muslims, Christians, Buddhists and Jains but left our precious Devasthanas (Temples) wide open to government interference and looting which continues today. The salaries of temple purohits (priests) are lower than the machine gun wielding security guards sitting outside. Pathetic. It was the so-called scholar president Radhakrishnan who stated that Hinduism is a way of life, and this was echoed by Chief Justice Gajendragadkar. The truth is that every religion leads to a way of life. It is my prayer that Hindu temples and organizations will finally be freed from the vicious clasp of government. God, we Hindus are so passive.
Ofcourse not... Hinduism also travelled out of India... U would find Hinduism in Cambodia, Thailand, Philippines, Indonesia,china,loas, Vietnam and even in Japan... The God and godess have similarities with hindu God and Goddess
Jainism... the followers are called Jains... and they are followers of Jin. In Islam, Jin is created from fire. Is this the same of Jin ? Please elaborate. Thank you.
Akshayjain Arihant no that your belief historical says Hindu is oldest it would be great if you will find some knowledge search oldest religion jain is off root of Hindu said by supreme court so if jain community would have problem with it they would have gone to court
Akshayjain Arihant Myself a Buddhist but accept that Jainism is the oldest one. But love and follow all the four religion Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikkhism and I would just say that we must get united irrespective of any caste and creed.
You're correct. Jainism is a separate religion and is not an offshoot of any religion. In fact, the original name of India (Bharat) came from Jainism. Bharat was the son of Tirthankar Rishabha (the 1st Tirthankar of Jainism). See below link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Names_of_India#Bh.C4.81rata

yeah u may be right jainism is religion but hinduism is way of life it includes buddhism, jainism . hinduism is not an religion it is infinity more than every things
human being Buddha was revival of Hinduism ,,,he was presented new face of of Hinduism (Esoteric Hinduism),,and again Hinduism revived by Adi Shankara Hindus called him crypto Buddha
@@atul1024 Not true. If it was so why would Buddha reject the vedas and the existence of GOD? The most false thing is that Buddha was an incarnation of Vishnu. But Buddha says I'm not any God. I'm a child naturally born.
Seriously, why do you need to promote this conflicting propoganda between Hindus and Buddhist? Don't you see how stupid this is? Both religions are good in their own ways and it's up to the individual to choose whichever path that works for him or her.
@@hvideos2832 Yes. Think about this. What are the odds that miraculously, everything you see around you just happened to come into existence? Just one day, BANG, universe? My favorite comparison for the odds of that is putting explosives randomly throughout a junkyard, setting them all off, and having the garbage land perfectly to create a high speed sports car with the engine running. AKA, What's more likely? That somebody is out there who loves everyone enough to create a world for them to live in, or that nobody said anything, and the universe (and all the tiny little processes that happen within it) just happened? As for evolution, if that were real, why do you have a brain? It takes a lot of energy, doesn't help you in a fight, and is very fragile. Why would you evolve that? It'd make much more sense for humans to have evolved some more defensive/offensive features.
Buddhism is diametrically opposite to Hinduism in every aspect with only one exception - Karma. The other thing common was that Buddha was born to a Hindu King. Except these 2 aspects, Buddha questioned every other thing that Hinduism believed in & advocated. So to propagate falsely that Buddhism was only a branch of Hinduism is utter non sense & absolute falsehood. Hinduism believes in a Creator-God. Buddha vehemently denied this. Buddha emphasized only the innate human nature & ability to avoid sufferings. His total focus was on man only. Hinduism believes in rituals to ward off sufferings. Buddha never advocated rituals. He only enjoined his followers to do good & follow his 8 - fold path to come out of the birth & death cycle. Buddha categorically denied caste as creation by an act of Lord Krishna. He emphatically denied & said that human beings are like waters of an ocean whose only taste is salty. All are born equal out of their mother's womb. Till the advent of Buddha Hindus & in particular brahmins had been slaughtering animals during rituals & consumed meat. This changed after the decline of Hinduism. To resurrect Hinduism it had adopted whatever Buddha advocated & assimilated all his teachings within itself. Thereafter Buddhism started declining in india. The decline was further expedited by Muslim invasion. Buddha never believed in avatar of God as a human being as He himself repudiated the existence of creator - god as falsehood. As against this truth, Hindus still propagates a false notion that Buddha was indeed a reincarnation of Lord Vishnu. Like Buddhism Jainism too is an aetheist religion with some variations. Both Buddha & Mahaveera were contemporaries. Yet the latter was not considered equal to Lord Buddha by the people & Kings in their life time.
There are dozens of common beliefs and teachings in both Hinduism and Buddhism - some of the basic and important commonalities are:- Duḥkha - the unsatisfactory nature of existence - which is the pivot and purpose of philosophy. Avidya - the problem of cognitive error or nescience. Rāga-dveśa - attachment, grasping and aversion as contributory factors to duḥkha. Punarbhava - rebirth, reincarnation, metempsychosis or whatever other name you wish to call it. Karma - action and its effects and repercussions Dharma - in its many and various manifestations and practices Samsāra - cyclical existence Nirvāṇa/Mokṣa - possibility of liberation from cyclical existence Caitanya - Consciousness as a fundamental property of the universe Punya-karma - the efficacy of performing acts of merit Maitri - the ethic of cultivating friendliness or loving kindness to all sentient beings Karuna- the ethic of compassion Mudita - cultivation and practice of empathetic joy Upekṣa - cultivating and practicing imperturbability or equanimity. Nissanga - the virtue of non-attachment and non-grasping. śaraṇāgati - the importance of taking refuge. Devas-Asuras - belief in numerous gods and antigods Pretas - belief in Hungry Ghosts or disembodied beings. Sanyāsa - renunciation /monasticism Bhīkṣa - the importance of offering alms to Brahmins and monks Mantras- belief in the efficacy of mantras Mudra- yantra - the use of hand gestures and Mandalas or sacred diagrams in ritual practice. Dhyāna - practice of meditation (Buddhists do it better than Hindus) Mūrti-rūpa - iconology - making and venerating of icons/images Pūjā - rituals of making offerings to various deities and Buddhas Homa - the making of oblations into the sacred fire (Only in Mahayana and Vajrayana traditions) The sanctity of Mount Kailasa in Tibet Tīrtha-yātra - the importance of pilgrimage and visiting temples and sacred sites. Astrology, omenology, divination and oracles. Spiritual retreats. etc. etc. etc.
Jainism is the oldest religion dear. You should study properly before you create any religion based videos. Bharat Name comes from Bharat Chakravarti who lived billions of years ago and way long before Ramayan. Before to Bharat India was known as Nabhi Varsh who was the Grand father of Bharat Chakravarti. Even Rama was Jain and so does Buddha Originally belonged to Ikshvaku Dynasty. Rama answers to Bali when he was about to die that whole world including you and me and animals, mountain or sea and rest of everything belongs to Ikshvaku. Which was begun from Jainism. Vishnu is the father of 11th Tirthankar Shreyansnath. That proves Jainism is way older than Hindism.
