Tapasya - Buddha and Mahavira
The meditation undertaken by Siddhartha Gautama and Mahavira, the founders of Buddhism and Jainism respectively, earns them the exalted state of Enlightenment and Moksha. Their tapasya, undertaken to obtain salvation from a sinful, disturbing and violent world, was the foundation of their teachings.
To this day, Buddhist and Jain monks keep rigid discipline, stringent vows and persistent study of their religion. Jain monks are often witnessed to take immense care by wrapping their feet in thick, soft cloth to avoid killing insects, as per the absolute non-violence taught by Mahavira.
The state of Buddha is famously seen as a man sitting in deep meditation with folded, intertwined legs and his whole body, not just mind but muscles as well, sunken in deep meditation.
