Sahave jinsen. Jainism me “Acharya” ki sankhya ekdum ek jaisi nahi hai. Har sangh/sect aur unki gacchaon ke hisab se alag-alag list hoti hai. Isliye poori Jainism me ek hi nishchit count nahi hai; Digambar, Śvetāmbara, aur unke gacchaon ki apni- apni list hoti hai. Yahi vishesh baat hai ki aaj ki date (2025) tak kayi mukhya Acharyaa chal rahe hain, par sabhi ko milakar ek total nahi kaha ja sakta.

Kuch vishesh udaharan (current leaders):

• Śvetāmbar Terapanth: Acharya Mahāshrāman (11th Acharya, 2010 se prabhari).
• Śvetāmbar Sthanakvāsī: Acharya Dr. Shivmuni Ji Maharaj (2025 me sakriya).
• Digambar parampara: kai gacchon ki alag-alag Acharyaa hoti hain (udaharan ke roop me kuch mrecent list me Virag Sagar Ji Maharaj jaise naam liye jaate hain, par laage hue sangh ke hisaab se farak hota hai).

Aap kis sect ya gaccha ke baare me puch rahe hain, to main uski exact, aaj ki tareekh ke mutabiq Acharyaa ka naam de sakta hoon.
