Jainism

Bahubali: 63 Insights Into Jainism
Many historians believe that Jainism and other hermit schools were simply a reaction to Vedic ritualism. But for most Jains, their religion has no origin: it has always been around.

  • Jainism was rediscovered by Rishabh-dev, the first Tirthankar of this era.
  • Rishabh’s eldest son, Bharat, became Chakravarti, king of kings, and gave the country its name.
  • Bahubali, Bharat’s younger brother, renounced violence and followed the Jain path of freedom.
  • Rishabh was followed by twenty-three other Tirthankars. The last of them was Mahavir, who lived around 2,500 years ago.
