Jainism is one of the oldest religions in the world, famous for its principles of non-violence (ahimsa), empathy and self-control. Jain religious life is dominated by ascetics who give up worldly possessions to concentrate on spiritual matters. Among other known cases of male ascetics (Sadhus), there are also female ascetics called Sadhvis in the Jain religion. This paper will examine how Jain Sadhvis live, what they do, and the difficulties they face while giving an insight into their significant contributions within a patriarchal society.

The Spiritual Journey of Jain Sadhvis: The choice about becoming a Sadhvi is not a simple one; it is a profound calling from God with earnest devotion to Jain norms. Ascetic life styles of Sadhvis include giving away all their material possessions, renouncing family ties, and leaving behind worldly aspirations to be devoted purely to achieving spiritual progress that will ultimately result in release from the cycle of birth and death (moksha).

Giving Up and Beginning: Normally, the journey begins with Diksha ritual for the sadhvi where she renounces her previous life through taking vows on chastity, non-violence, truthfulness, non-attachment and austerity. It marks her initiation into monastic presence after having led a worldly lay person’s life before this stage.

Christian meditation is a deep practice in Christianity, which aims at creating a personal connection with God, inner peace, and growing spiritually. Most meditations make an effort to empty the mind while Christian meditation stresses filling the mind and heart with God’s presence and the truth found in scripture. This has been practiced since the early days of Christian monasticism to this day as an integral part of Christian spirituality. In this all-inclusive survey, we are going to analyze Christian meditation including; its nature; biblical foundations; techniques; benefits; and ways one can incorporate it into his or her life.       Christian Meditation:

Meaning as well as IntentionChristian meditation is a type of prayer where people concentrate on God’s Word and His presence for intimacy purposes. It involves thinking about what is written in the Bible, meditating on who God is, or looking for ways to think, want, or act like Him. The reason why Christians meditate can be expressed in two ways: to achieve inner peace by being still in the presence of God and to aid spiritual growth through renewing minds (Romans 12:2) and hearts with scripture truths.

Christian meditation was born out of the early monastic traditions in the Christian Church. Meditative prayer was practiced by the Desert Fathers and Mothers, who were some of the earliest Christian monks and hermits as a means of withdrawing from worldly distractions to grow closer to God. Many times, they would meditate on and recite biblical psalms among other passages to allow themselves to be filled with God’s word.

Biblical Foundations of Christian Meditation

Old Testament FoundationsThe Old Testament has some of its roots deep in meditation. The Hebrew term for “meditate,” Hagar appears several times, almost always contextually associated with reflecting upon God’s law. Psalm 1:2 states that “his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.” This verse emphasizes continuously musing on God’s Word as a cause for gladness as well as direction.

Another crucial verse is Joshua 1:8 which teaches: “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success.” Consequently, meditation becomes an avenue through which one can internalize God’s commandments and lead a life that pleases Him.
