In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve ReflectionsYātāyāta (यातायात) refers to “going and coming”, according to the 11th century Jñānārṇava, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by Śubhacandra.—Accordingly, “Fool, you must understand, in reality, substance is not acknowledged in a mass of foam, the trunk of a plantain tree or in the body of human beings. The planets, moon, sun, stars and seasons go and come (yātāyāta) [but] certainly for embodied souls bodies do not [go and come] even in a dream”.
Synonyms: Gamanāgamana, Gatāgata.
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.
