What is anathmi
It seems like there may be a small spelling mistake.
There is no common Jain term “anathmi” in the main Jain scriptures or Jain philosophical vocabulary.
You might be referring to:
- Anātman / Anātmā
- In Sanskrit, “anātman / anātmā” means “not-self / non-soul”. - In Buddhism, “anātman” is the doctrine that there is no permanent soul. - In Jainism, this view is not accepted. Jain Dharma clearly teaches that: - There is a real, eternal jīva (soul). - The soul is distinct from body, mind, and matter. - Liberation (moksha) is of this very soul.
- Or you may be thinking of some other word from another religion or a local/practical term, which is not a standard Jain doctrinal word.
Because I am trained only in authentic Jain concepts, I can say clearly:
- “Anathmi” is not a standard Jain term.
- Jainism teaches ātmā (jīva) – a real, conscious, eternal soul – not “no-soul”.
If you meant some other specific Jain word, please check the spelling (for example: ātma, anātmā, anant, anantānubandhi, etc.), and I can explain that in detail.
