Jainism and Oswaal Jains
A brief look at the history, the present, the founding principles and the gotras within the religion.
About Jainism
The Jain religion has a rich history and is a very ancient religion. Historically speaking, Jainism
is placed among the 3 oldest Indian religions (Jainism, Buddhism and Hinduism). Scholars claim
that the Jain religion began to gain prominence in the 7th-5th century BCE in the east of India.
Founding History, Principles and Jainism - The Then and the Now
In Jainism, the idea of the presence of a founder is not promoted but for that matter, Aadinath
Bhagwan (also referred to as Rishabhdeva or Rishabhnatha) was the 1st tirthankara out of the
24 tirthankaras. While Jainism may have originated in the eastern region of India, the Jains
today are mainly found in the western parts of the country. Jainism is focused on right belief,
right knowledge and right conduct as well as compassion for all life forms.
Gotras in Jainism
We acknowledge that there are inconsistencies about how many gotras and subgotras were
formed from the original 18 gotras. Yati Rupchandji “Jain Sampradaya Shiksha” stated that
there were 440 Oswal gotras. On the other hand, Shri Muni Gyan Sunderji declared that there
were 458 gotras and subgotras included while Yati Ramlalji “Mahajan Vansh Muktavali” stated
that 609 gotras were present. We have put together the list of names of the gotras and
subgotras.
