Answer

In Jain Dharma, no God or creator created us.

Jainism teaches that the soul (jīva) is eternal. It was never created and will never be destroyed. Every living being exists because of its own eternal soul and its own karma.

Explanation

According to Jain philosophy:

• The universe has no beginning and no end.
• Souls are eternal and countless.
• Matter, time, space, motion, and rest are also eternal realities.
• No supreme creator controls or creates living beings.

Our present body, birth, family, situation, happiness, and suffering are connected with our karma, not with the will of a creator God.

Spiritual Understanding

Jain Dharma places responsibility on the soul itself. We are not created by someone else; we are bound by our own karma and can become free through:

• Right Faith
• Right Knowledge
• Right Conduct
• Non-violence
• Self-discipline
• Purification of the soul

Takeaway

In Jainism, we were not created by anyone. The soul is eternal, and liberation comes by removing karma and realizing the soul’s pure nature.
