In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsAnādyananta (अनाद्यनन्त) refers to “(being) without a beginning and without an end”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “That [cosmos] is not at all produced by anyone, not at all sustained by anyone, so also not destroyed by anyone. Nevertheless, that exists by itself without support in the atmosphere. That very same one, which is without a beginning and end [com.—anādyananta—‘without a beginning and without an end’], is accomplished by itself and imperishable, without a Supreme Being and excessively filled with objects beginning with the self”.
Synonyms: Anādinidhana.
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.
