    Bhavisyakal in jainism

    one year ago 60

    In Jainism, the term "Bhavisyakal" (sometimes spelled as "Bhavishyakal" or "Bhavishyatkaal") refers to the future period or the era yet to come. The Jain cosmological timeline is divided into cycles called "Avasarpini" (descending half-cycle) and "Utsarpini" (ascending half-cycle), each with six distinct eras (aras). Bhavisyakal specifically indicates the times that are yet to occur within these cycles.

    Jain scriptures discuss the qualities, events, and significant occurrences expected in the Bhavisyakal, including the advent of future Tirthankaras and the moral and spiritual state of the world. For example, in the current Avasarpini, it is believed that 24 Tirthankaras appear, and after the present era, there will be a time when no Tirthankaras will be born, and dharma will decline further.

    The concept of Bhavisyakal is also associated with prophecies and descriptions found in Jain Agamas and texts regarding the spiritual prospects of souls, the evolution or decline of dharma, and the cosmic order in the times ahead.

    If you have a more specific context about "Bhavisyakal" in Jainism, such as its mention in a particular scripture or its relevance to a ritual or practice, please specify, and I can provide more detailed information.
