Jain Mumukshu

Who is a Mumukshu?

A Mumukshu is a person who is eager to attain Moksha (liberation). The effort to achieve Moksha is not about reaching a specific place but about recognizing one's own soul and manifesting its spiritual qualities. A Mumukshu is someone who has control over the senses. To progress on the path of liberation, a Mumukshu uses discretion to decide what to listen, what to see, and what to taste.
