Hello Jains!
I've been reading a bit about Jainism and I find it quite interesting. I had a chat about it with my friend who is a Hare Krishna. He said that in the vedas, it says that one should exept authority from 3 sources: shastra, guru and sadhu (scripture, spiritual master and other saintly persons)
I wonder how Jainism deals with authority. What/who is the highest spiritual authority in Jainism?
