Mahavira lived from 540 to 468 BC. He was an Indian philosopher, vegetarian and founder of Jainism. His followers practice vegetarianism. He rejected Hindu religious texts for example, the Vedas, which is the most holy text in Hinduism, and created a new religion which has some elements copied from Hinduism.
