JAINISM Svastika: an Aryan (noble) Sanskrit symbol = good luck, a lucky symbol; twisted by Nazis; a universally Asian good luck symbol; Jains used four points to signify laymen, monks, nuns, laywomen Mahavira: founder; final teacher of current time cycle; means ?great hero?; born 599 BCE; family man who renounced all ties to become a Jina; either removed clothes (Digambra) or was eventually stripped (Svetambara); pulled out his hair and renounced the world; public renunciation symbolizes society?s allowance for renunciates. Digambra sect (sky-clad): believe Mah renounced ALL worldly life and intentionally stripped. Retention of clothing = retention of shame. Sect denies women access to monkhood.
