In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection ISaciyāmātā (सचियामाता) is the name of a Goddess occuring in a manuscript (dealing with early teachers, Gods or Goddesses) included in the collection of manuscripts at the ‘Vincenzo Joppi’ library, collected by Luigi Pio Tessitori during his visit to Rajasthan between 1914 and 1919.—No title but the name of the Goddess is present and her description makes her close to Durgā or Cāmuṇḍā Devī. Saciyāmātā was converted to Jainism and plays an important role as an osvāl lineage goddess (see l.a. Babb, Absent Lord. Ascetics and Kings in a Jain Ritual Culture, university of california press, 1996: 143ff., 159-160). She has a temple in osiyā, but no reference to it is made in this text.
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.
