Jainism is a religion of purely human origin. It is propagated by self realized individuals who have attained perfect knowledge, omniscience, and self control by personal effort and have been liberated from the bonds of worldly existence,
and the cycles of all future life and death.In ancient times Jainism was known by many names such as the Saman tradition, the religion of Nirgantha, or the religion of Jina. Jina is one, who has conquered the inner enemies of worldly passions such as desire, hatred, anger, greed, and pride by personal effort.
By definition, a Jina is a human being, like one of us and not a supernatural immortal or an incarnation of an almighty God. Jinas are popularly viewed as Gods in Jainism. There are an infinite number of Jinas existed in the past. All human beings have the potential to become a Jina.
