In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: academia.edu: Tessitori Collection IĀnandghan is another name for Ānandaghana: the author of a manuscript (dealing with the Didactic or Moral section of Jain Canonical literature), which is included in the collection of manuscripts at the ‘Vincenzo Joppi’ library, collected by Luigi Pio Tessitori during his visit to Rajasthan between 1914 and 1919.—Ānandghan (ca. 1624-1694) was a Śvetāmbara monk, but actually transcends the usual categories of Jain mendicancy. He was more a kind of Yogi or ascetic not part of institutional monasticism. He seems to have spent a lot of time in Rajasthan and is a famous vernacular poet, as popular for the Jains as Kabir for all indians. His emphasis is on the spiritual goal through the awakening of consciousness.
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.
