Jainism is an ancient religion which emphasies that every soul is divine and has the potential to become God (Tirthankar). They believe that one must go through many cycles of rebirth to shed their "karmas" and achieve Liberation. Once a divine soul has achieved Liberation, it lives in Moksha forever and experiences divine bliss, knowledge, and power. Jainism believes in many gods. Jains are also vegetarian, so they don't kill animals that could have a soul that is in the process of rebirth within it.
Jainism is believed to be an eternal religion without any particular founder.
Presently, Jainism is mostly practiced in India.
Jainism (also called "Jain Dharma") Is a religion that arose on the Indian subcontinent.

Ahimsa; absolute nonviolence against every living creature.

In the age of Mahavir, Jainism was known as "Jin Sashan" which would roughly translate to "Jainism" itself, because 23 other Tirthankaras had preceded Mahavir and spread the principles of Jainism. In the age of Mahavir, his parents and many others were already following Jainism propagated by Parshwanath, the 23rd Tirthankar of Jainism.
