| - Jainism, traditionally known as Jain Dharma (जैन धर्म), is a spiritual religion of Indian origin dating back at least as far as the 9th century BC, but believed by Jains to stretch back many centuries into the very distant past.
- The Jains are also the only world religion to have ever warred against every single religion conceived of on this good green earth.
- Jainism is an ancient religion from India that teaches that the way to liberation and bliss is to live lives of harmlessness and renunciation. The essence of Jainism is concern for the welfare of every being in the universe and for the health of the universe itself.
- Jainism is a religion which stresses extreme non-violence towards all life. Jainism is a Dharmic religion and is not a branch of Hinduism. Jainism was founded by Mahavira, who taught self-denial and non-violence toward all forms of life. Jainism's strict rules of non-violence, non-possessiveness, chastity, non-theft, and truth caused it to lose popularity, but today it has over 4 million adherents worldwide. Jainism rejects the authority of the Vedas, sacred scriptures of Hinduism. The swastika is also a holy symbol for Jains, but is in no way connected with the Nazi swastika.

Jainism rejects the authority of the Vedas, sacred scriptures of Hinduism. Jainism and Hinduism have coexisted for thousands of years, and so there are similarities in customs and religious holidays between the religions. Furthermore, the Buddha is revered as a holy figure, and most Jain homes will have a Buddha figurine or picture looking over the living area in the belief that it will bring prosperity. The swastika is also a holy symbol for Jains, but is in no way connected with the Nazi swastika.
