Can't help you MagiK. I don't know anything about it either.
Why are you asking? |

Jainism originated in India in (I think) the sixth century. I just know that it deals with cosmic principles, and it's centered around non-violence to all living things. It's seen as pretty democratic in its nature. There is no one single creator or divine being, but there are kind of semi-Gods that rule over certain elements of existance. It reminds me a bit of animism really, probably because it's a real spiritual faith. That's about all I know, I'm sorry it's a bit vague.

Very well thanks, Hugh. College is going wonderfully, I'm happy, healthy, not as wealthy as I'd like to be, but you can't have everything in life. How are you doing? And how was the trip to Georgia? [img]smile.gif[/img]

Still there, still recording from 9am till 2am each day. Going really well. Capturing some great players and singers from various parts of the USA who've flown in for it. I'm having a ball. [img]smile.gif[/img] Heading up to Nashville in a couple of days.
