Religion

In the following paper I compare the paths to moksha (मोक) within Hindu and Jaina (जैन) traditions. As both Hindu and Jaina philosophy are diverse phenomena I focus solely upon Vaiṣṇava (वैषणव) philosophy in the Hindu context and orthodox Jaina philosophy. I further limit the Vaiṣṇava context to the Bhagavad-Gītā (भगवद गीता) or Gītopaniṣad (गीतोपिनषद् )¹.
