Jain symbols are symbol s pertaining to the Jain Jain religion . Introduction The purpose of a symbol is to provide an identity or image to an entity. It is basically an abstract view of the core values that uniquely identify an entity. The entities can be various things. For instance, a flag is the symbol that uniquely identifies a country and may have some special core values associated with that country. In the context of companies, a logo can be considered a symbol or emblem. In the context of religion, it becomes a bit difficult to find a unique universal symbol or emblem, partly because there are a lot more concepts and values that may not be easy to abstract in one image and also because there is not a single governing body like the United Nations which dictates a religion. In reality, a religion can have multiple symbols which are considered important and provide a symbolic view of various core values and concepts. It is possible for a religious symbol to have multiple meanings or may be shared among multiple religions. The purpose of this article is to provide the origin and the meaning of the Universal Jain emblem and list other symbols that are found in the Jain literatures. Some of these are taken from the ancient Jain scriptures which are mostly handwritten. Jain emblem In 1975, during the auspicious 2500th Nirvana anniversary of Lord Mahavir Swami Ji last Jain monk to attain moksha or enlightenment , the Jain community at large collectively chose one image as an emblem for the Jain religion.
