Bispanthi

Mula Dharma/Bispanthi/Visa panth is a Digambar Jain sect that follows the pivot (Origin) of Jainism (Mula Jain Dharma). Bispanthis follow the legacy of Jain agamas since Thirtankar's period. Prathamachary Gutham Swamy and Kundaundacharya were the followers of Mula Dharma. The correct usage of word is Mula Dharama (Not Bispanth). The name Bispanth is not historic, it was given in 17th century by Terapanth breakaway/sub group of Digambar sect. We don't find usage of word Bispanth in any Jain holy books, it's always written as Mula Dharma.
