Previous Birth

During the previous birth, Parshvanath was incarnated as Marubhuti. His father was Purohit Vishnubhuti living in the Potanpur city. Kamath was Marubhuti’s elder brother. Kamath was wicked and cruel. Hence Purohit always taught Marubhuti the value of human being and existence of life. Both Kamath and Marubhuti grew up and got married. Kamath seduced his brother’s wife, and Marubhuti complained his act to the king. The king sent away Kamath to the forest. Marubhuti felt guilty of his act and went to ask pardon from his brother. But Kamath being very cruel killed Marubhuti by hitting a stone on his head.

22th Jain Tirthankar



Neminath was born as the eldest son of Hastinapur King Shrisen. King Shrisen named his son as Shankh. During one time many robbers and smugglers attacked people in Hastinapur. People expressed their concern to the King. King decided to send his son Shankh to save his subjects. He knew Shankh was wise and could handle any situation diplomatically. Shankh won over the head of the smugglers with his sensible plan and prevented any bloodshed. On his way back Shankh rescued a princess by name Yashomati from trouble and thus fall in love with her. They both got married. Both of them lived in Hastinapur very happily. Once, the feeling of love and attachment towards his wife bothered Shankh. He consulted a scholarly ascetic to seek clarification. The scholar said that Yashomati and Shankh are married in the last six births, and this is their seventh birth. They loved each other so intensely, and thus this association continues for many births. He also said that Shank would come to earth as a Tirthankara in his ninth birth and Yashomati as Rajomati. Both will attain Nirvana during that birth. Having got clarity Shankh lived his life and died as a King of Hastinapur.

Every soul descends into the womb of a woman and comes to the world as a child. Based on their previous birth karma they lead a life in their present incarnation. Likewise, a soul with Tirthankara Nam Karma comes to earth as a human being and attains Nirvana. These realized souls are also called a Jina. Jina means a person who has conquered material existence and achieved a state of bliss. Tirthankaras help all human beings to win over the worldly life and achieve Mukti.

Shree Dharma Nath 15th Jain Tirthankar



The very purpose of birth of a Tirthankara on earth is to release people from the ocean of samsara bondage. Every individual will receive continuous birth due to their karma. Struggling in the worldly life needs liberation, and that can happen only by following the tenets of religious philosophy. Jainism is once such religion that aims at helping humanity to cross the sea of life and death cycle.
Tirthankaras born in Jain religion spread across the Jainism and help people attain Mukti. The life cycle of birth and death is a continuous process. It never comes to an end. The more attachment one has, the more they tend to possess things. Possession causes all miseries. One must learn to detach from all material comfort.  Tirthankaras help every individual to attain liberation by preaching to practice freeing oneself from all desires.

  Shree Simandhar Swami (The Current Living Tirthankar)


On this planet and in this era, there is no living tirthankara, but at present, in Mahavideh Kshetra there lives tirthankara Shri Simandhar Swami. Simahdhar Swami is able to grant final liberation to seekers from the planet earth. The Gnanis have revived this path and are guiding the seekers to the same path.

Recognizing the living tirthankara, awakening one’s devotion for Him, and establishing a connection with Him through His worship and finally attaining his live direct darshan and acquiring Keval Gnan (absolute enlightenment), verily is the only step of the narrow path of liberation.
