Muje mera aatma ka kalyaan ka marg kese or kaha se suru karu
Quick Answer
The path to the welfare (kalyan) of the soul (atma) in Jainism begins with practicing ahimsa (non-violence), which is the fundamental principle emphasized by Mahavira, the 24th Tirthankara. One should start by cultivating non-violence in thought, word, and deed.
Detailed Answer
In Jain philosophy, the welfare of the soul is achieved through spiritual purification and liberation from karmic bondage. The foremost step on this path is the practice of ahimsa, or non-violence, which is considered the root of all virtues and the foundation of Jain ethics. According to the context, ahimsa gained prominence in Indian religion particularly due to the teachings of Mahavira, who emphasized it over other virtues such as satya (truth).
