JAINISM

Jainism is the religion of between two and three million Indians, founded by Mahavira in the 6th century BC. Right belief, knowledge, and conduct enable monks to obtain release from the endless round of rebirth caused by karma; others aim for a better rebirth. Jainism has no god, although there are lesser spirits and demons.
