Samajh aapki kya hai: aap puch rahe hain ki “Mahatma Jain hote” yaani kya Mahatma Gandhi jaise vyakti Jain dharm ke hote hain.

• Gandhi ji Jain dharm ke nahi the. Ve Hindu parivaar me paide hue the, aur unhone apni Jeevan shaili me ahimsa, satya, aur samaajik nyay ke siddhanton ko apnaya, jo Jain dharm me bhi bahut mahatvapurn hai, lekin ve Jain nahi the.
• Jain dharm me “Mahatma” shabd ko specific dharmik pad ke roop me nahi dekha jata. Bahut se mahan aatmaayein (arihant, kevalin, tirthankar adi) Jain siddhanto ke anusar pavitra aur adarsh hoti hain. Ye shabd aam vyakti ya sthiti ko samarpit ho sakta hai, par is ka matlab Jain ke roop me koi nishchit vyakti ya pad nahi hota.

Agar aap chahein to batayein ki aap kis Mahatma ya kis sandarbh ki baat kar rahe hain, main Jain dharm ke hisaab se spashtarth (arth) aur sahi vivaran de sakta hoon.
