Answer

No — in Jain philosophy, dharma-dravya and adharma-dravya are not the same as “gravity” and “anti-gravity.”

Explanation

In Jainism:

• Dharma-dravya is the medium that helps motion.
• Adharma-dravya is the medium that helps rest.

They do not mean moral dharma and adharma, and they do not function like a force in modern physics.

So when a fruit falls, Jain philosophy is not trying to give a scientific mechanics model like modern physics does. It is explaining reality through its own metaphysical categories:

• the fruit has its own material nature,
• conditions support its movement,
• and dharma-dravya is the enabling medium for motion.

Spiritual Understanding

Jain darshan is describing the nature of existence, not replacing every scientific explanation with one word.

So the correct Jain understanding is:

• Not “there is no gravity.”
• But rather: Jain philosophy uses a different framework from modern science.

You can think of it this way:

• Science explains how motion happens in physical terms.
• Jain philosophy explains what kinds of substances and principles make motion and rest possible.

Takeaway

So, Jainism does not say “no gravity.” It says that alongside material causes, there are also dharma-dravya and adharma-dravya as Jain metaphysical principles for motion and rest.
