JAINISM: PROVIDING THE PATH TO “MOKSHA,” THE SECOND OLDEST RELIGION THAT ORIGINATED FROM INDIA

The concept of Moksha in Jainism is synonymous with the ultimate liberation of the soul from samsara and the attainment of eternal happiness, free from all forms of karmic pollution. This paper examines various facets of Moksha in Jainism such as contemporary expressions of Jain practices, Jain cosmology, art, ecological consciousness, and the relevance of monastic life.

Jain Practices for Attaining Moksha in the Modern World:

• Ahimsa, non-violence is at the core of ethical considerations for Jains. The principle goes beyond physical violence to cover non-violent speech and thought. These include:
• Dietary Practices: Several Jains follow a vegetarian or vegan diet, which avoids harm to animals. This practice corresponds with contemporary movements promoting animal rights and ethical eating.
• Professional Choices: Jains can opt for professions that cause less damage to living beings; a good example is military service or butchery or even some types of business activities that involve dishonesty or violence.

The Parsi re­ligion comes from old Zoroastrianism. It holds many deep be­liefs, customs, and proofs that lasted over long pe­riods of history and moving. As a scattered group across the world, Parsis use­ digital methods to get the word out, talk be­tween differe­nt faiths, and deal with things like caring for nature, ge­tting young people involved, and tre­ating all genders equally. By ke­eping their customs alive, changing little­ by little, showing respect for the­ old, Parsis keep their community involve­d. This helps shape how they vie­w religion and social arrangements.

Understanding Parsi Diaspora: Living Abroad in a Multicultural WorldParsi diaspora spe­aks of Parsis going beyond their Persia roots, mainly toward India. Late­r, they spread worldwide. Living in diffe­rent cultures has create­d a balancing act for Parsis between prote­cting and adapting their culture.The Powe­r of Digital Reach: Building Bridges in the Te­ch EraTechnology is expanding fast, and Parsis are part of this change­. Today, they tap into digital resources to stay close­ to other Parsis globally. From religious service­s online to digital chats and social media groups, Parsis are using te­chnology to talk, learn, and share their culture­ across the globe. 

"Nainaṁ chhindanti śhastrāṇi nainaṁ dahati pāvakaḥ
Na chainaṁ kledayantyāpo na śhoṣhayati mārutaḥ"

Translation in English:

"The soul can never be cut into pieces by any weapon, nor can it be burned by fire, nor moistened by water, nor withered by the wind."

Meaning in Hindi:

"यह आत्मा किसी भी शस्त्र से कटाई नहीं होती, आग से जलाई नहीं जाती, पानी से भीगाई नहीं जाती और हवा से सूखाई नहीं जाती।"

One of the greatest changes in religious and philosophical history is the journey from being a prince to becoming a Buddha. At the core of Buddhism, this account began in ancient India resulting in what it is today, being practiced all over the globe with countless cultures affected. In discussing this, we will be taking a look into Siddhartha Gautama’s life; he was also known as “Buddha” which means awakened one. It is not just a biography but an allegory for the human search for illumination and release from sorrow.

The tale commences more than 2500 years ago in the foothills of the Himalayas present-day Nepal. As an infant prince, Siddhartha Gautama had been born into great luxury with all its trappings by his father who was himself king. Nonetheless, Siddhartha did not live oblivious to some human realities such as aging, illness, or death despite living amidst luxuriousness. The encounter with this suffering sowed seeds in him and made him start seeking salvation.
