In Jainism

General definition (in Jainism)

: The University of Sydney: A study of the Twelve Reflections

Surendra (啶膏啶班啶ㄠ啶︵啶�) refers to the 鈥渃hiefs of gods 鈥�, according to the 11th century J帽膩n膩r峁嘺va, a treatise on Jain Yoga in roughly 2200 Sanskrit verses composed by 艢ubhacandra.鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淗ere in the world a whole multitude of objects, and the supremacy that is desired by the chiefs of snakes, men and gods (surendra鈥�uraganarasurendrai岣� pr膩rthita峁�), and other than [that], family, power, prosperity, and wanton women, etc. is easily obtained. On the contrary, that very same jewel of enlightenment alone is difficult to obtain. [Thus ends the reflection on] enlightenment鈥�.

context information

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, 鈥榮elf-reliance鈥�) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.

India history and geography

: Wisdom Library: India History

Surendra refers to one of the 84 castes (gaccha) in the Jain community according to Prof. H. H. Wilson. The Jain caste and sub-caste system was a comparatively later development within their community, and it may have arisen from the ancient classification of 叠谤腻丑尘补峁嘺, 碍峁迟谤颈测补, 痴补颈艣测补 and 艢奴诲谤补. Before distinction of these classes (such as Surendra), the society was not divided into distinct separate sections, but all were considered as different ways of life and utmost importance was attached to individual chartacter and mode of behaviour.

According to Dr. Vilas Adinath Sangava, 鈥�Jainism does not recognise castes (viz., Surendra) as such and at the same time the Jaina books do not specifically obstruct the observance of caste rules by the members of the Jaina community. The attitude of Jainism towards caste is that it is one of the social practices, unconnected with religion, observed by people; and it was none of its business to regulate the working of the caste system鈥� ().

The legendary account of the origin of these 84 Jain castes (e.g., Surendra) relate that once a rich Jain invited members of the Jain community in order to establish a 惫补颈艣测补-尘补丑腻蝉补产丑腻 (i.e. Central Association of Traders). In response, 84 representatives came from different places, and they were later seen as the progenitors of these castes. Various sources however mention differences in the list.

context information

The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
