Mahavira was a sage and spiritual leader in ancient India who propounded a religious philosophy based on non-violence and compassion. His followers became known as Jains, derived from the Sanskrit word "Jina" meaning conqueror, as they aimed to conquer their inner passions and attain spiritual liberation. Jains follow a strict code of ethics and practice asceticism to minimize harm to all living beings.
Jains use a beautiful word Jina for their tirthankars which literally means conquerer but not of the worldly things. It refers to conquering the inner self. So, those who follow the path of Jinas are known Jains. The word Jain has itself originated from the word Jina.
