I'd already changed it at Neo-Vedanta... Joshua Jonathan -Let's talk! 06:42, 17 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Copied from User talk:Joshua Jonathan#Template:Universalism

I have reverted your edit on "Template:Universalism" as the reason you gave was not appropriate.

It is mention in the intro of the article Universalism that, "In terms of religion, in a broad sense, universalism claims that religion is a universal human quality". This exactly matches the Jain view that "dharma" is the very nature or quality of the soul.

Another statement in the intro read, "A community that calls itself universalist may emphasize the universal principles of most religions and accept other religions in an inclusive manner". This is exactly what Jainism's most fundamental doctrine of Anekantavada is about.

Many other Jain philosophical concepts have universal applicability. I don't see even a single reason as to why "Jain philosophy" shouldn't be part of the said "Template".

Thank you. -Nimit (talk) 14:46, 17 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

End of copied part.

@जैन: thank you for your explanation. I'm afraid, though, that this is your personal understanding, c.q. WP:OR. The article on Jainism doesn't even mention "universalism." Start with adding info on Jain-universalism to this article; otherwisel linking to this article is as relevant as linking to any other random religion without info on universalism. Have you got sources which say that Jainism calls itself "universalistic"? See, for example, [1] and [2] on Jain universlaism in the 20th century. David Gordon White, on the other hand: " From the early christian era to the twelfth century,Jainism was a proselytizing religion with no universalistic claims." [3].
