Gotra in kharua
In Jain dharma, the concept of "gotra" (as a lineal clan or descent used in some Hindu traditions) is not a formal or religiously significant part of Jain practice. Jains do not assign or rely on gotras for monks or lay followers in their spiritual framework.
What is more relevant in Jain context:
- Lineage is sometimes discussed in terms of family or clan informally, but it has no religious authority or ritual role.
- Spiritual focus is on the path (samyak darshan, etc.) and the guru-parampara in a general sense, not on a defined gotra.
If you’d like, I can clarify further based on Digambar vs. Shwetambar nuances, or help with any specific Jain texts or terms related to lineage.
