JAINISM

Jainism was entrenched by a ancestry of 24 intellectual beings climaxing with Parsva (9th century BCE) and Mahavira (6th century BCE).

The 24th Tirthankara of Jainism, Mahavira, emphasized on five vows, containing ahimsa (non-violence), Satya (truthfulness), asteya (non-stealing) and aparigraha (non-attachment). Jain doctrine trusts the disciplines of the Tirthankaras anticipate all known time. The Vedas are believed to have cited a few Tirthankaras and an austere system similar to the shramana movement.

BUDDHISM

Buddhism was anciently formed by Siddhartha Gautama, a Kshatriya prince-turned-ascetic, and was expanded afar India through priests and preachers. It later experienced a depreciation in India, but outlived in Nepal and Sri Lanka, and stays more prevalent in Southeast and East Asia.Gautama Buddha, who was called an "awakened one" (Buddha), was born into the Shakya fraternity residing at Kapilavastu and Lumbini (now southern Nepal). The Buddha was born at Lumbini, as emperor Ashoka's Lumbini pillar records, just before the kingdom of Magadha rose to property and power. The Shakyas stated Angirasa and Gautama Maharishi family, via descent from the royal lineage of Ayodhya.Buddhism focuses on enlightenment (nirvana) and salvation from the rounds of rebirth. This aim is followed through two schools, Theravada, the Way of the Elders (practised in Sri Lanka, Burma, Thailand, SE Asia, etc.) and Mahayana, the Greater Way (practised in Tibet, China, Japan etc.). There may be some contrast in the custom between the two schools in reaching the aim.

Hinduism

Hinduism is an Indian religion and Dharma, or way of life, widely practised in the Indian subcontinent and parts of Southeast Asia. Hinduism has been called the oldest religion in the world, and some practitioners and scholars refer to it as Sanātana Dharma, "the eternal tradition", or the "eternal way", beyond human history. Scholars regard Hinduism as a fusion or synthesis of various Indian cultures and traditions, with diverse roots and no founder. This "Hindu synthesis" started to develop between 500 BCE and 300 CE, after the end of the Vedic Period (1500 BCE to 500 BCE), and flourished in the medieval period, with the decline of Buddhism in India

Although Hinduism contains a broad range of philosophies, it is linked by shared concepts, recognisable rituals, cosmology, shared textual resources, and pilgrimage to sacred sites. Hindu texts are classified into Śruti ("heard") and Smṛti ("remembered"). These texts discuss theology, philosophy, mythology, Vedic yajna, Yoga, agamic rituals, and temple building, among other topics. Major scriptures include the Vedas and Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita, and the Āgamas. Sources of authority and eternal truths in its texts play an important role, but there is also a strong Hindu tradition of questioning authority in order to deepen the understanding of these truths and to further develop the tradition.

SIKHISM

Guru Nanak originated Sikhism in Punjab in the 15th Century CE and it is a monotheistic religion. This religion is based on the teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji and those of the other nine gurus who were his disciples. The tenth Sikh guru , Guru Gobind Singh Ji declared that after his death the spiritual guide of the Sikhs would be the teachings contained in the Guru Granth Sahib which now has the status of a Guru and it is considered as the holy book of Sikhs. Vaisakhi, also spelled Baisakhi, is one of the most important festival of the Sikh community. It is the Sikh New Year festival and is celebrated on April 13 or 14. In 1699 the tenth guru, Guru Gobind Singh chose Vaisakhi as the occasion to transform the Sikhs into a family of soldier saints, known as the Khalsa Panth.
