Why Jain people do not eat any rooted foods like Onions, Garlic etc.

Jainism is one of the oldest religion among all other spiritual religions of the world. According to the sayings of 24 Tirthankaras and scriptures written and followed by all Jain monks and followers of Jainism, Ahimsa ( Non - Violence ) is primarily virtues and wisdom to live the life in a humanitarian way.

Each and every living creatures either it can be small or big has naturally given an equal right to live life with full of freedom with any threats of being harmed by any body. A soul changes body like a body changes cloths. Certainly, this is not the only life that we are living at this moment, it was a past life and it will be the future journey in next birth. What we are living at present life the the sum, result, destiny of our past life's deeds.

Nature has its own law. Each and every action has equal and opposite reaction, if you will kill some body, than that some body will surely come back to you once again with different 'Avatar' to kill you, that is for sure, sooner or later, may be in next life's or after going through many rebirth process. If one thinks deeply about this concept of actions and reactions or revange and forgiveness, a soul can be liberated from the circle of life's and death one day, which is possible and has been proved by millions on all might souls. But before that it's a kind of debit and credit note, one has to clear all his / her past life's debts by asking forgiveness and transfer energy of credits into living life with generating any other debts.
