Jainism is a religion that has contributed significantly to the ethical and spiritual heritage of India. Bhagwan Mahavira was Jina, a victor, though he had neither fought a war nor had won any country. He had conquered his own self by fighting against his own instincts. Bhagwan Mahavira is such an ideal before us who got rid of all the worldly and material attachments and becomes victor by discovering the path leading to enlightenment.This country, since his birth, has been founded on these ideals.
