In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Vrajagrāma (व्रजग्राम) or simply Vraja is the name of a village visited by Mahāvīra during his eleventh year of spiritual-exertion.—At Vraja village there being a festival, rice pudding was prepared in all homes, and wherever the Lord went for alms, Saṅgama made the food unworthy. Realising it to be a calamity created by Saṅgama, the Lord left and remained meditating outside the village. Moving from Vraja village to Ālambhiyā, Śvetāmbikā, Sāvatthī, Kauśāmbī, Rājagṛha, Vārāṇasī, Mithilā, etc, the Lord arrived at Vaiśālī.
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.
