In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Kṛṣṇarājarṣi (कृष्णराजर्षि) or Kṛṣṇarājarṣigaccha is the name of a Śvetāmbara monastic order.—The copyist of the Kṣetrasamāsavṛtti (or Laghukṣetrasamāsavṛtti?) is Kamalacandragaṇi, pupil of Jayaśekhara, from the Kṛṣṇarṣigaccha. This Śvetāmbara monastic order, also known as Kṛṣṇagaccha or Kṛṣṇarājarṣi-gaccha, is a branch of the wider Tapāgaccha. Evidence from inscriptions and manuscript colophons shows that it was active, in particular in Rajasthan, during the 14th-15th centuries.
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.
