In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection ISugar-cane juice as an offering has a symbolic relevance in Jainism.—Akṣayatṛtīyā commemorates the day when the first Jina could break his one year fast through the gift of sugar-cane juice offered by prince Śreyāṃsa, who was the only one on earth to know what type of gift a Jina could accept, at a time when dāna had not yet been instituted and regulated. On this date people (especially women) who have been keeping a yearly fast, break it through sugar-cane juice offered by relatives. In contemporary times, this festival is held on large scale, for example in Hastinapur (the place traditionally connected with the event) or Palitana.
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.
