Jain Hand Symbol Jainism Symbols Charm

The Jain Hand represents ahimsa (nonviolence). It stands for bravery and kindness for all living things. It implies being sure (not being afraid) and thinking things out before acting. The Wheel in the palm symbolizes samsara (world). It suggests Jains must maintain their awareness and modesty because a Jain's rebirth condition will be affected if they conduct wrongdoing while unaware of the consequences.
