In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Ānupūrvya (आनुपूर्व्य) or Ānupūrvī refers to “migratory /movement after death” and represents one of the various kinds of Nāma, or “physique-making (karmas)”, which represents one of the eight types of Prakṛti-bandha (species bondage): one of the four kinds of bondage (bandha) according to the 2nd-century Tattvārthasūtra chapter 8. What is meant by migratory /movement after death (ānupūrvya) body-making karma? The karmas rise of which the form of the previous body does not disappear during the transitory period are called migratory form body-making karma.
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.
