This religion is especially based on the victory over sensual pleasures thus directing towards the eternal bliss of soul. Jainism represents a symbiosis of the religious and scientific approaches for better living based on the foundations of Non-violence, Peace, Compassion and Humility towards all living beings. Jainism is the union of personal independence with social and ecological interdependence and believes in harmony and love towards all living beings. In fact, it is a way to lead the perfect life.
