Hinduism and Jainism

Hinduism believes that the world was created by a supernatural being while on the other hand Jainism believes that the whole world is everlasting of never-ending

In Hinduism, they believe in god to be the supreme spirit that can rule over all the different issues. For the Jainism, they do believe in god as a supreme being but they don’t see him as the creator of everything.

In Hinduism they largely consider the moral values that they hold to be the items that make them who they are. As for the Jainism, they consider the human soul to be eternal and to have all the knowledge and power.

Hinduism believes that both good and evil survive together and that none of them can be able to survive without the other (In Melton and Baumann, 2010). Jainism believes that evil comes when men and women interact.

In both of them, they believe that salvation only comes as a result of merging souls from a different universe. This is done through achieving the eternal life.

The Jainism culture believe that the souls of people can reclaimed and delivered. Hindus believe that the soul can be reclaimed and put into a new body.

Hinduism is a sacrificial religion since most of their activities are general conserving different rituals. It is also the way that they show their devotion to their god.

Hinduism believe that there are several festivals that they celebrate among the most famous for them is the Denali. Jainism has their festivals from renunciation and medication.
