Shree Mahavir Swami 
24th Jain Tirthankar



During Bhagavan Parshvanatha time the feudal system of rule was prevailing in India. After he attained, Nirvana equality surfaced, and Vaishali became the capital of the federation of small republics. The King Siddharth and Queen Trishala Devi ruled the kingdom of Vaishali.
The Queen once dreamt about fourteen things in her dreams and augured the birth of a Tirthankara.
Usually, there are 72 auspicious dreams. 42 represents standard benefits, and 30 represents enormous advantages. 14 out of this 30 are extremely beneficial and confirms the birth of a Tirthankara. Lord Mahavira will become a Tirthankar as 12 Chakravarthi’s were already born.

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.

19th Jain Tirthankar



A Tirthankara is born on the earth as an individual being. They have attained a glorified state due to intense spiritual practices during their different lifetimes. Hence they signify as an ultimate soul.
Since they have achieved the greatest sacred purpose of human life, they offer support to others to cross the sea of Samsara bondage.
