Meaning of word Jai Jinendra

Jai Jinendra !



I was very happy to know that you wanted to know the meaning of "Jai

Jinendra".  The word Jain came from "Jin".  We are the followers of

"Jin" so we are called Jain.  "Jin" means one who have achieved Jeet

(Victory) over internal and eternal enemies including Karmas.  They are

the Enlightened Souls who have achieved Omniscience (Pure and complete

knowledge - all knowing, all seeing, can observe past present and future

of the entire universe).



They have showed us the true path to achieve salvation.  By saying Jai we

are praising the glory of those great Souls (Tirthankaras) and by doing

this indirectly we are trying to internalise and imbibe their greatness in

ourselves.  By Jinendra we are saluting and appreciating the virtues of

tose Jins who also have achieved full control over their Indriyas

(Senses).  Every Jain or on fact everyone should always start the

communication (both written and oral) with "Jai Jinendra".  By admiring

the greatness of these Emancipated Souls we get benefitted and feel more

purified at the same time achieving further victories over our Karmas.

Thats all for now,  I hope this helps.
