Jain cosmology

Jain cosmology is the description of the shape and functioning of the physical and metaphysical Universe (''loka'') and its constituents (such as living beings, matter, space, time etc.) according to Jainism, which includes the canonical Jain texts, commentaries and the writings of the Jain philosopher-monks. Jain cosmology considers the loka, or universe, as an uncreated entity, existing since infinity, having neither beginning nor end.〔“This universe is not created nor sustained by anyone; It is self sustaining, without any base or support” “Nishpaadito Na Kenaapi Na Dhritah Kenachichch Sah Swayamsiddho Niradhaaro Gagane Kimtvavasthitah” (of Ācārya Hemacandra 4.106 ) Tr by Dr. A. S. Gopani〕 Jain texts describe the shape of the universe as similar to a man standing with legs apart and arm resting on his waist. This Universe, according to Jainism, is broad at the top, narrow at the middle and once again becomes broad at the bottom.〔See Hemacandras description of universe in Yogaśāstra “…Think of this loka as similar to man standing akimbo…”4.103-6〕
of Ācārya Jinasena is famous for this quote:
"Some foolish men declare that a creator made the world. The doctrine that the world was created is ill advised and should be rejected. If God created the world, where was he before the creation? If you say he was transcendent then and needed no support, where is he now? How could God have made this world without any raw material? If you say that he made this first, and then the world, you are faced with an endless regression."
==The concept of reality – the constituents of the Universe==
This Universe is made up of what Jains call six ''dravya'' or reals or substances classified as follows:
* ''Jīva'' (Living Substances)
:Jīva i.e. Souls - Soul (Jīva) exists as a reality, having a separate existence from the body that houses it. It is characterised by ''chetana'' (consciousness) and ''upayoga'' (knowledge and perception).〔Ācārya Kundakunda, Pañcāstikāyasāra, Gatha 16〕 Though the soul experiences both birth and death, it is neither really destroyed nor created. Decay and origin refer respectively to the disappearing of one state of soul and appearing of another state, these being merely the modes of the soul.〔Ācārya Kundakunda, Pañcāstikāyasāra, Gatha 18〕
* ''Ajīva'' (Non-Living Substances)
*
* ''Pudgala'' (Matter) - Matter is classified as solid, liquid, gaseous, energy, fine Karmic materials and extra-fine matter i.e. ultimate particles. Paramāṇu or ultimate particle is the basic building block of all matter. The Paramāṇu and Pudgala are permanent and indestructible. Matter combines and changes its modes but its basic qualities remain the same. According to Jainism, it cannot be created, nor destroyed.
*
* ''Dharma-dravya'' (Principle of Motion) and
*
* ''Adharma-dravya'' (Principle of Rest) - Dharmastikāya and Adharmastikāya are distinctly peculiar to Jaina system of thought depicting the principle of Motion and Rest. They are said to pervade the entire universe. Dharma and Adharma are by itself not motion or rest but mediate motion and rest in other bodies. Without Dharmastikāya motion is not possible and without Adharmastikāya rest is not possible in the universe.
*
* ''Ākāśa'' (Space) - Space is a substance that accommodates the living souls, the matter, the principle of motion, the principle of rest and time. It is all-pervading, infinite and made of infinite space-points.
*
* ''Kāla'' (Time) - Kāla is a real entity according to Jainism and all activities, changes or modifications can be achieved only through the progress of time.
