In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsRājyābhiṣeka (राज्याभिषेक) refers to a “royal inauguration”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Here [in this world], for that same man for whom the splendour of a royal inauguration (rājyābhiṣeka-śrī) is seen near daybreak, also on that day the smoke from [his] funeral pyre is seen”.
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.
