    5 types of indryas

    one year ago 234

    In Jainism, the concept of indriyas refers to the sense organs or faculties through which a living being perceives the world. There are five types of indriyas (sense organs):

    1. Sparshanendriya (Touch sense)

    - The organ of touch (skin).

    1. Rasanendriya (Taste sense)

    - The organ of taste (tongue).

    1. Ghranendriya (Smell sense)

    - The organ of smell (nose).

    1. Chakshurindriya (Sight sense)

    - The organ of sight (eyes).

    1. Shravanendriya (Hearing sense)

    - The organ of hearing (ears).

    According to Jain philosophy, living beings (jivas) are classified based on the number of senses they possess, ranging from one-sensed beings (only touch) to five-sensed beings (having all five senses).
