General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: TrisastisalakapurusacaritraĀsevanāśikṣā (आसेवनाशिक्षा) or Āsevanā refers to the practice of Grahaṇaśikṣā (or simply Grahaṇa), which refers to the study of the sūtras, the acquisition of knowledge of religious practices.—(See the Rājendra, s.v. sikkhā, and the Dharmaratnaprakaraṇa 36).
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.
