In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection IDādājīstavana (दादाजीस्तवन) is the name of a work by Lābha-udaya dealing with individual religious teachers in Jain literature.—The Dādājīstavana (in Prakrit/Gujarati) is included in the collection of manuscripts at the ‘Vincenzo Joppi’ library, collected by Luigi Pio Tessitori during his visit to Rajasthan between 1914 and 1919.—Dādā ‘grandfather’ is the name given by kharataragaccha followers to four of their past teachers “who are singled out because of their roles as defenders and reformers of Jainism, and as miracle workers and creators of new Jains”. The first one, Jinadattasūri (1075-1154 CE) is the focus of the lively song copied in the present manuscript. The devotee praises, in particular, the miracles the teacher has to his credit: he defeated the 64 yoginīs and the 52 vīras, heroes who are forms of the deity Bhairava. On the occasion of an incident which took place at Baḍanagara Jinadattasūri defeated brāhmaṇas and Śaiva opponents.
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.
