Jains do not acknowledge the existence of God, but they do recongnize higher beings known as "arhats." These gods to not take interest in what is going on in the world. Jainism followers worship arhats because by worshiping them, good karma is gained. The gods watch what is going on in the world, and respond to requests and prayers made by Jains. The arhats are certain souls who have reached a high state of existence through good deeds.
