66. Ja�nisme G n ralit s et doctrine, les temples et les divisions, hindouisme et bouddhisme. Bibliographie. http://pagesperso-orange.fr/revue.shakti/jainisme.htm

Le ja�nisme G�n�ralit�s Le ja�nisme est une philosophie et une religion pratiqu�es par 3 millions de personnes, essentiellement en Inde, mais aussi aux Etats Unis et en Angleterre. Le ja�nisme est fond� sur des enseignements tr�s anciens provenant de divers instructeurs dont le dernier, Mahavira (599-527 av J-C, statue ci-contre), est souvent consid�r� comme "le" fondateur. Mahavira est mentionn� dans les �crits bouddhiques et hindouistes, mais pas comme fondateur, et le ja�nisme n'est pas cit� comme une religion nouvelle. La tradition ja�na indique que Mahavira n'est que le dernier des 24 "Tirthankara" (guides de la voie de la lib�ration), le premier �tant Rsabha, consid�r� comme le pr�curseur de la civilisation humaine. De nombreuses preuves historiques permettent d'affirmer l'existence du 23�me instructeur, Parsva (877-777 av J-C). De m�me, les historiens acceptent celle du 22�me, Nemi, que la tradition consid�re comme cousin de Krishna. La doctrine L'embl�me du ja�nisme est une main ( repr�sent�e ci-contre ) symbolisant le r�confort moral et la compassion, dans laquelle est inscrit "Ahimsa" c'est-�-dire non violence. La phrase en sanskrit sous la main veut dire :"Toutes les vies sont interd�pendantes et donc se doivent un mutuel respect, une mutuelle assistance".

70. Brief Overview Of Jainism University of Michigan Jains website. Includes information about Jains vegetarian beliefs. http://www.umich.edu/~umjains/overview.html

Jainism is one of the oldest religions known today and its origins lie in the country of India. Theologians often classify Jainism as a philosophy, a way of living life, rather than a religion. GENERAL FACTS ABOUT JAINISM The origins of Jainism can be traced back to the Indus River valley civilization of 3000 B.C. Jains believe that there were 24 great teachers the last of whom was Lord Mahavira who lived during 6th century B.C. These twenty-four teachers are called Tirthankaras-people who had attained all knowledge while living (Moksha) and preached it to the people. Thus, there is not one all-powerful supreme being that controls all. Jains believe in reincarnation. Their souls, which are believed to be a unique substance in the universe, take different living forms in the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. This cycle has been going on forever, the universe has no beginning or end, it has always been and always will be. The ultimate goal is to get rid of one's karma on their soul so that they may end this cycle. Once this goal is reached their soul has attained all knowledge and it rests in the heavens forever (Nirvana). Karma theory is about actions and the results they bring to the soul's path. It is the simply the law of cause and effect with respect to the soul.

71. Anekant Education Foundation An article attempting to define, classify, and distinguish between the two facets of jainism. http://www.anekant.org/tott_vegetariansim_is_not_a_synonym_for_ahimsa.htm

Vegetarianism - A Synonym for Ahimsa? These days it appears that we have mistaken Ahims� as a synonym for Jainism and Vegetarianism as a synonym for Ahims�. Hence a person, who is vegetarian considers himself or herself a true Jain; and thus has the right to condemn anyone who is not a vegetarian!!! Let us first examine who Jains are: �Jains are followers of JINA, the conqueror of inner enemies�. These inner enemies are anger , greed , pride and deceit. These arise out of attachment (r�g) leading to greed and pride, and aversion (dvesh) leading to deceit and anger. Now let us examine some fundamental teaching of Jainism: Ahims� (Non-violence), Anek�ntav�da (Multiplicity of viewpoints), Sy�dav�da (Relativism,Satya (Truth), Achurya (Not stealing) and Aparigraha (Non-possessiveness). Ahims� or Non-violence is just one part of the Jain teachings and is based on love and kindness for all forms of life, as Jains believe that all life forms (Plants and animals) are equal, have souls and are capable of attaining salvation. How do we define Ahims�? It has been pointed out in Jain scriptures that even the thought of evil is as bad as the action resulting in injury. It takes non-violence to its highest form in thoughts, words and deeds.

Orality To Literacy: Transition In Early Tamil Society Brahmi script reached Upper South India and the Tamil country at about the same time during the 3rd century B.C.E. in the wake of the southern spread of jainism and Buddhism. http://www.frontlineonnet.com/fl2007/stories/20030411001208100.htm

Volume 20 - Issue 07, March 29 - April 11, 2003 India's National Magazine from the publishers of THE HINDU Home Contents BOOK EXCERPTS Orality to literacy: Transition in Early Tamil Society IRAVATHAM MAHADEVAN From the forthcoming publication: Early Tamil Epigraphy : From the Earliest Times to the Sixth Century A.D. by Iravatham Mahadevan (Harvard Oriental Series 62), simultaneously published in India by Cre-A:, Chennai, and in U.S.A. by Harvard University, Cambridge, MA. THE Brahmi script reached Upper South India (Andhra-Karnataka regions) and the Tamil country at about the same time during the 3rd century B.C. in the wake of the southern spread of Jainism and Buddhism. However, the results of introduction of writing in these two regions were markedly different. The most interesting aspects of Tamil literacy, when compared with the situation in contemporary Upper South India, are: (i) its much earlier commencement; (ii) use of the local language for all purposes from the beginning; and (iii) its popular democratic character.

It includes a variety of activities, including postures (asanas), breathing techniques (pranayama), meditation (dhyana), and lifestyle practices. It is estimated that more than 15 million Americans currently practice this ancient art.  Yoga comes from the Sanskrit word yuj , which means to yoke, join or apply. Yoga is usually translated as union, for its methods and practices lead to a profound integration of body, mind and spirit. The Yogic ideal is to achieve complete freedom and authenticity by transcending the limiting structures of the ego-personality (the person we behave as on a normal day) and discovering the true spiritual Self within. Although the most authoritative root texts on Yoga were written in classical India around the beginning of the Christian era, archaeological evidence from the Indus River valley of present-day Pakistan indicates that some form of Yogic meditation was being practiced on the subcontinent at least 2,000 years earlier.  Learn more

Home Indien bereisen Jainismus Yoga Indien Indien bereisen - Jainismus in Bildern Indien Indien- der Subkontinent in Südost Asien ist das zweitbevölkerungsreichste und siebtgrößte Land der Erde. 1,2 Milliarden Menschen leben dort in der weltgrößten Demokratie. Dabei ist das Land in 28 Bundesländer unterteilt, die unter einer eigenen Verwaltung stehen. Es grenzt an Pakistan, Tibet, Birma, Bhutan und Bangladesch. Im Norden bildet der Himalaya eine natürliche Staatsgrenze, im Süden der Indische Ozean. Mehrere große Religionen sind mit Indien verwurzelt, unter anderem der Hinduismus, der Buddhismus, der Jainismus und der Sikhismus. Durch Eroberungen kamen der Islam und durch frühe Missionierungen das Christentum als Religionen nach Indien. Die Religion mit dem größten Stellenwert in Indien ist der Hinduismus. 80,5 % der Inder gehören dieser Glaubensrichtung an. Den Jainismus und seinem Stellenwert in Indien werden wir an späterer Stelle genauer betrachten. Indien ist nicht nur in Glaubensfragen ein vielschichtiger Staat, sondern auch bei den Landessprachen. Insgesamt sind es 23 Sprachen, die in Indien offiziell anerkannt wurden. Die wichtigsten sind Hindi und Englisch. Wenn man an Indien denkt, denkt man in erster Linie an das wundervolle Land, die Traditionen und die Kultur. An zweiter und nicht minder wichtiger Stelle kommt die Filmindustrie. Bollywood – so nennt man umgangssprachlich die indische Filmindustrie, produziert pro Jahr etwa 250 Filme.
