Jainism is one of the oldest religions in the world. The name comes from jiva (soul or life force but, capitalized, is also given as Spiritual Conqueror) as it maintains that all living things possess an immortal soul which has always and will always exist and that one’s soul may be liberated from suffering by self-discipline in adhering to Jain tenets. It originated in Northern India and spread from there to the south, but how it began is unclear.

Living Jainism.

Jainism is one of the foremost world religions that pushes human beings to rise to their highest potential and discover their most compassionate self. A deeply rational, scientific and progressive spiritual path, Jainism is especially relevant in the 21st century, as global strife, environmental degradation, and individual struggles seem to deepen. The film takes viewers down its glorious path, from the very first teachings of the Teerthankaras and Lord Mahavir to modern day Jains who are leading in every sphere of public life, while remaining true to the humanistic values of Jainism.
