Re: Who is the god for Jain community?
Both Arihants and Siddhas are considered Gods of Jain religion. Arihats are perfect human beings and preach the Jain religion to the people after attaining keval_jnan. After death they become Siddhas. All Siddhas are perfected souls, living forever in a blissful state in Moksha.
Jain is derived from the word Jina, referring to a human being who has conquered all inner passions and possess Kevala Jnana . Followers of the path shown by the Jinas are called Jains.Followers of Hinduism are called Hindus.
