Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biography of Lord Mahavira The 24th Tirthankara of Jainism. Introduction to Lord Mahavira Journey with us into the heart of ancient wisdom, where a radiant soul named "Lord Mahavira" graced the world as the 24th Tirthankara of Jainism. In the vast tapestry of human history, Jainism stands as a timeless philosophy, offering guidance and insight into the path of enlightenment. The early life of Lord Mahavira, also known as Vardhamana, was marked by wealth and privilege. He was born around the 6th century BCE in “Kundagrama”, a small town in present-day Bihar, India. Here are some key points about his early life: Birth and Family: Lord Mahavira was born into the royal family of King Siddhartha and Queen Trishala. His birth name was Vardhamana, which means "one who grows" or "prosperous." Wealth and Luxury: As a prince, Lord Mahavira lived a life of luxury and abundance within the palace. He was provided with all comforts and material possessions. Compassionate Nature: Even from an early age, Vardhamana displayed a compassionate and empathetic nature, showing concern for all living beings. Marriage: As he grew older, Vardhamana got married to Princess Yashoda and had a daughter named Anojja. Seeking Truth: Despite the opulent lifestyle, Vardhamana became increasingly discontented with the material world and sought answers to the deeper questions of life, including the nature of suffering and the path to liberation. Decision to Renounce: At the age of 30, Vardhamana renounced his princely status and all worldly possessions, including his clothing, to embark on a life of asceticism and spiritual seeking. This event is known as "diksha" or initiation. Pursuit of Enlightenment: For the next 12 and a half years, Lord Mahavira practiced rigorous self-mortification, fasting, and meditation to attain spiritual enlightenment and liberation from the cycle of birth and death (samsara). Attainment of Kevala Jnana: At the age of 42, Lord Mahavira achieved Kevala Jnana, or supreme enlightenment, becoming a Tirthankara and acquiring omniscience. After attaining enlightenment, Lord Mahavira spent the rest of his life as an enlightened teacher, propagating his teachings and principles of Jainism to the world. His teachings continue to be central to the Jain faith and serve as a source of inspiration for millions of followers. Understanding Jainism and its Tirthankaras Imagine a tree with branches reaching to the sky, each branch representing a Tirthankara a spiritual guide who illuminates the way to inner peace and knowledge. Jainism, a peaceful and ancient tradition, holds twenty-four such Tirthankaras in its embrace. These spiritual beacons, through their teachings and noble lives, help seekers find light in the midst of life's challenges. Among these illustrious Tirthankaras, Lord Mahavira shines as a gem of profound wisdom. Born in the sacred land of India, he graced humanity with his presence over two and a half millennia ago. Jainism, with its roots stretching back to antiquity, is a philosophy centered around non-violence, compassion, and the pursuit of truth. It beckons us to live in harmony with all living beings and discover the truth that lies within us.

Download or read book The Jaina Path of Purification written by Padmanabh S. Jaini and published by Motilal Banarsidass Publishe. This book was released on 1998 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The religious tradition of the Jainas, unique in many respects, presents a fascinating array of doctrinal and social structures that stem from the anti-vedic movements of ancient times. Drawing extensively on primary sources, Professor Jaini provides a comprehensive introduction to the Jaina experience. Beginning with the Life of Mahavira the author elucidates the essentials of Jaina cosmology and philosophy as well as of the path of purification through which the soul may escape from its Karmic defilements and attain eternal salvation. This path constitutes the integral element within the broader frame-work of Jaina literature, lay ritual and the socio-historical factors, which enabled Jainism to survive and prosper to the present day. In particular, the author has examined the cardinal doctrine of ahimsa (non-harming), both in its impact upon Jaina religious consciousness and as a standard in applying its sacred principles to the conduct of every day life.
