General definition (in Jainism)
Source: archive.org: TrisastisalakapurusacaritraGrahaṇaśikṣā (ग्रहणशिक्षा) or simply Grahaṇa is the study of the sūtras, the acquisition of knowledge of religious practices; āsevanāśikṣā is the practice of them.—(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.
