In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsKṛṣṇāgaru (कृष्णागरु) refers to “black aloe wood”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Whatever difficulties arise from life, they are each endured here by the embodied soul, only having taken hold of the body powerfully. The body of men also defiles auspicious things [such as] camphor, saffron, aloe wood [com.—Aloe (agaruḥ) is black aloe wood (kṛṣṇāgaruḥ)], musk, sandalwood because of [its] contact [with them]”.
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.
