General definition (in Jainism)
Source: HereNow4u: Lord Śrī MahāvīraPraṇītabhūmi (प्रणीतभूमि) is the name of region visited by Mahāvīra during his second year of spiritual-exertion.—When Gośālaka heard of Bahula Brahmin’s alms giving from people, he knew this was the effect of the Lord’s penance. He saw the Lord outside Kollāga at Praṇīta-bhūmi. Delighted, he paid obeisance to the Lord and said “From today, you are my religious teacher and I am your disciple”.
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.
