General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsGhaṭikāgata (घटिकागत) refers to “coming from a time-piece”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Those who are wise speak about momentariness with the striking of the clock of kings [com.—ghaṭikāgata—ghaṭikāgataśabdena—ghaṭikāgataśabdena—‘with the sound coming from a time-piece’] . The betterment of oneself must be accomplished. That [time] which is past will not return”.
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.
