In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: Wisdom Library: JainismĀkrandana (आक्रन्दन, “moaning”) refers to “weeping out loudly out of agony is crying” and is one of the causes leading to the influx (āsrana) of karmas extending unpleasant feelings (asātāvedanīya).
Ākrandana is a Sanskrit technical term defined in the Tattvārthasūtra (ancient authorative Jain scripture) from the 2nd century, which contains aphorisms dealing with philosophy and the nature of reality.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
