Overview

Jainism, also known as Jain Dharma is one of the ancient religions in India. The main philosophy of the Jain religion is to abstain from all kinds of non-violence and showing respect to every living being. The 3 main pillars on which Jainism has been founded are non-violence, non-absolutism and non-possessiveness. Jainology is the field of study about Jainism that helps in acquainting the world with the Jain faith. The course helps in creating awareness about various aspects of Jainism like its history, art, literature, philosophy, culture and practices such as vegetarianism observed in the Jain faith.
