who created this universe?
According to Jainism, no one created this universe.
- The universe (loka) is beginningless and endless – it has always existed and will always exist.
- It is made of eternal substances like jīva (souls) and ajīva (matter, space, time, motion, rest, etc.), which are also uncreated.
- Everything functions through natural laws and karma, not by the will of a creator God.
- Even devas (gods) and Tirthankaras (Arihants) are not creators – they are souls who have progressed spiritually. Tirthankaras only show the path to liberation.
Both Digambar and Śvetāmbara traditions agree on this: > There is no creator God in Jainism; the cosmos is self-existing and eternal.
