Mahavira Jayanti 2022.

Hello Everyone My Name is Vivek Chaturvedi. I am writing a blog about Mahavira Jayanti 2022.

Mahavir Jayanti is celebrated by followers of Jainism to honor the birth and life of Lord Mahavira, an important religious figure to Jains.

Mahavira  also known as Vardhamana, was the 24th Tirthankara of Jainism. He was the spiritual successor of the 23rd Tirthankara  Parshvanatha. Mahavira was born in the early part of the 6th century BCE into a royal Jain family in Bihar,  India. His mother's name was Trishala  and his father's name was Siddhartha. They were lay devotees of Parshvanatha. Mahavira abandoned all worldly possessions at the age of about 30 and left home in pursuit of spiritual awakening, becoming an ascetic. Mahavira practiced intense meditation and severe austerities for twelve and a half years, after which he attained Kevala Jnana . He preached for 30 years and attained Moksha  in the 6th century BCE, although the year varies by sect.

Historically, Mahavira, who preached Jainism in ancient India, was an older contemporary of Gautama Buddha.

Devotees of Mahavir Swami celebrates Mahavir Swami Jayanti every year on the 13th day of the Hindu Calendar month of Chaitra.

Mahavira taught that observance of the vows of ahimsa , satya (truth), asteya ,  brahmacharya  (chastity), and aparigraha  (non-attachment) are necessary for spiritual liberation. He taught the principles of Anekantavada  syadvada and nayavada. Mahavira's teachings were compiled by Indrabhuti Gautama (his chief disciple) as the Jain Agamas. The texts, transmitted  orally by Jain monks, are believed to have been largely lost by about the 1st century CE (when the remaining were first written down in the Svetambara tradition). The surviving versions of the Agamas taught by Mahavira are some of Svetambara Jainism's foundation texts, but their authenticity is disputed in Digambara Jainism.

Mahavira is usually depicted in a sitting or standing meditative posture, with the symbol of a lion beneath him. His earliest iconography is from archaeological sites in the North Indian city of Mathura, and is dated from between the 1st century BCE and the 2nd century CE. His birth is celebrated as Mahavir Janma Kalyanak and his  nirvana (salvation) and also his first shishya (spiritual enlightenment) of Shri Gautama Swami is observed by Jains as Diwali.
