“Jātiyān” se aap shayad yeh puch rahe hain ki Digambar aur Shwetambar ke andar kaun‑kaun se sampradāy / jati / communities hote hain, aur inmein basic farak kya hai.

1. Digambar aur Shwetambar – mool farak (bahut sārāns mein)

• Digambar = “Dig‑ambar” (ākāsh ko vastra mān kar nagn vratdhāri muni)

- Muni kapda nahi pehente (pūrṇa tyāg ka pratik). - Alag granth paramparā (Āgam ko Shwetambar jaisa nahi mānte). - Paramparāanusar स्त्री ko moksha ke liye purush janma āvashyak mānā jātā hai.

• Shwetambar = “Shwet‑ambar” (safed vastra pehenne wale)

- Muni aur sādhviyān dono safed kapda pehente. - Apne Āgam‑samhitā ko mānte. - Striyon ke moksha ko bhi svīkar karte hain.

Dono hi 24 Tirthankar, ahimsā, anekāntvād, aparigraha, karma‑siddhānt par ek hi Jain dharm mānte hain – farak zyada tar ācār, granth aur vyavahār mein hai.

2. Digambar ke andar pramukh “jati / sampradāy”

Hindi bol‑chal mein jinhe “jatiyān” kaha jata hai, woh asal mein sampradāy / sangh / paramparā hote hain, jaise:

• Mūlasaṅgh, Kāṣṭhāsaṅgh, Mathurāsaṅgh (purāne Digambar sangh)
• Āj‑kal zyada sunne ko milte hain:

- Terāpanth Digambar - Bisapanth (Digambar) - Kuchh kshetron mein: - Bhattārak paramparā (Dakshin Bharat, Karnataka adi)

• Loksamayik bhāsā mein vyakti apne ko kehte hain:

- “Digambar Jain”, “Parwar”, “Agarwal Jain (Digambar paramparā)”, “Khandelwal (Digambar)”, “Oswal (Digambar)” adi – yeh vyavsāyik / samājik jati hain, dharma ki drishti se sab Digambar Jain hi māne jate hain.

3. Shwetambar ke andar pramukh “jati / sampradāy”

Shwetambar mein bhi do tareh se batwāra dikhāi deta hai:

(A) Sampradāy / panth (dharma‑adhaar par)

• Mūrti‑pūjak Shwetambar
• Sthānakvāsī
• Terāpanth (Shwetambar) – (Acharya Bhikshu ki paramparā)

In teeno ka mool dharm ek hi – farak zyada tar mūrti‑pūjā, mandir‑paddhati, ācār aur maryādā mein hai.

(B) Samājik / vyavahārik jatiyān

Yahaan sab Shwetambar hi hote hain, par apne‑apne samājik jati ke nām se jaane jate hain, jaise:

• Oswal Jain
• Porwad / Porwal
• Shrimali
• Khandelwal
• Jaiswal, Humad, Modh, Dasha / Visa Shrimali adi

Yeh sab vyavahārik jatiyān hain – dharm se sab Shwetambar Jain hi hain.

4. Dhārmik drishti se “jatiyān” ka mahattva

Jain dharm ke mool siddhānt ke anusar:

• Ātmā na Digambar hai, na Shwetambar, na Oswal, na Agarwal.
• Moksha ke lie jarūrī hai – Samyak Darshan, Samyak Jñān, Samyak Chāritra (Ratnatray)
• Jati, khandān, panth sirf vyavahār aur samājik pahchān hai;

pāpmukti aur moksha in se nahi, balki svadeshna, ahimsā, tapasya, tyāg aur vinay se hota hai.

5. Sār

• Digambar & Shwetambar – do bade Jain sampradāy.
• Har ek ke andar alag‑alag panth / sangh / samājik jatiyān hain.
• Dharm ke mūl siddhānt sab mein same:

ahimsā, anekānt, aparigraha, karma‑siddhānt, moksha‑mārg.
