Shree Vimal Nath 13th Jain Thithankar

Shree Vimal Nath 
13th Jain Tirthankar


Tirthankara comes to the world as ordinary human being. They are not God, but divine souls who destroy all their previous birth karma and get liberated. They help people to cross the sea of worldly pain and miseries. They elevate people to attain a blissful state. Tirthankaras can also be called as Nirgranthas. Meaning of ‘Nir’ is ‘Without.’ ‘Granth’ implies knot. Nirgrantha means without a knot. In simple words, they are Siddhas who free themselves from the attachment of all earthly pleasures.  Without any ties in their life for money, peoples, or emotions they quickly manage to achieve Nirvana. They help people to realize the infinite birth and death cycle and preach them the ways to attain Mukti.

Shiv Shanker


Shiva  is one of the principal deities of Hinduism. He is the Supreme Being within Shaivism, one of the major traditions within contemporary Hinduism.
Shiva is the "destroyer of evil and the transformer" within the Trimurti, the Hindu trinity that includes Brahma and Vishnu. In Shaivism tradition, Shiva is the Supreme being who creates, protects and transforms the universe. In the goddess tradition of Hinduism called Shaktism, the goddess is described as supreme, yet Shiva is revered along with Vishnu and Brahma. A goddess is stated to be the energy and creative power (Shakti) of each, with Parvati the equal complementary partner of Shiva. He is one of the five equivalent deities in Panchayatana puja of the Smarta tradition of Hinduism.
According to the Shaivism sect, the highest form of Shiva is formless, limitless, transcendent and unchanging absolute Brahman, and the primal Atman (soul, self) of the universe. Shiva has many benevolent and fearsome depictions. In benevolent aspects, he is depicted as an omniscient Yogi who lives an ascetic life on Mount Kailash as well as a householder with wife Parvati and his two children, Ganesha and Kartikeya. In his fierce aspects, he is often depicted slaying demons. Shiva is also known as Adiyogi Shiva, regarded as the patron god of yoga, meditation and arts.
The iconographical attributes of Shiva are the serpent around his neck, the adorning crescent moon, the holy river Ganga flowing from his matted hair, the third eye on his forehead, the trishula as his weapon and the damaru. He is usually worshipped in the aniconic form of Lingam. Shiva is a pan-Hindu deity, revered widely by Hindus, in India, Nepal and Sri Lanka.

A Tirthankara is a person who has conquered a divine state by their rigorous spiritual penance and previous incarnation karmas. They are born as a human being and grow in a luxurious life. They will not get attached to the materials and will live a pious life. Due to their severe meditation, they get the power to know their past birth. They then embrace asceticism and attain Nirvana. They are called as arihantas. Arihant means to destroy. Tirthankaras kill the internal enemies such as greed, ego, etc. and cross the ocean of samsara. They also help people to attain salvation with their highly exalted state of spiritual practice.

Tirthankaras are blessed souls who realize the difference between worldly life and Nirvana. They attain moksha and help individuals to get liberation. They are also called as arihantas. Arihantas means destroyer of enemies. Yes, every person has internal enemies namely deceit, greed, lust, ego, and pride. These arihantas not only destroy their internal enemies but also help others to get out of the birth and death life cycle. Crossing the ocean of samsara can happen by self-realization.
Jain scriptures state that the time cycle moves along the never-ending cycles of rising and falling phases. Utsarpini is the growing era. All conditions including human morale keep improving during this period. After Utsarpini ends, Avsarpini begins. Avsarpini, the falling phase during which everything declines from good to bad. At some stage in between the rising and falling era, 24 realized souls become Tirthankaras. The Utsarpini and Avsarpini keep on coming in a cycle.
Currently, the fifth Ara of the Avsarpini is continuing. This is one among the six unequal periods of Avsarpini era. Similarly, there are six Ara in Utsarpini.  Every Ara will continue for roughly 21000 years.

Rahu Dev


Birth Myth: During the giving out of the ambrosia to the gods, one of the Asuras (demons) disguised himself as a god and sat among them. Just as he took a mouthful of ambrosia, Surya and Chandra realized the fraud and Vishnu quickly cut him in two, thereby giving us Rahu and Ketu. However the power of the ambrosia caused the two pieces to continue to be alive, and so Brahma changed them into planets and sent them to the heavens. Rahu continues to be the enemy of Surya and Chandra, eclipses are when Rahu tries to devour them.
