Curious and intrigued, I checked the site.
I am providing excerpts without comments.
I shall be replying each point by point in separate posts.
My intention is to propagate this Great wisdom and original thought, apologies to Carvakas.
1.Both believe in Rebirth or Transmigration of Souls.
While Hinduism believes in the existence of God to act as a sort of Catalyst for the Karmas to bear Fruit.
Jainism declares that Karmas by themselves yield results and Jainism does not believe in the Existence of God.
2.Both Religions in Mind/Spirit and Matter,
Hinduism has One or Dual Realities, depending on whether you are an Advaitin or a Dualist and there shades in between.
Matter in Hinduism is an aspect of the Reality, Brahman and is manifested as the world as a Phenomenon..
Jainism classifies things as Jiva,Soul and Ajiva, Non soul , matter.
Hinduism believes that the Reality is perceived in different times and in different sizes depending on the Perceiver.
Jainism states that the Jiva, Soul can not perceive the Matter per se and is limited and can not perceive things at the Absolute level.
