    Jambudwip airavatkshetra past vartman anagat chovisi?

    one year ago 240

    In Jain cosmology, Jambudwip is the central continent of the universe, and Airavat Kshetra is one of its regions. The concept of Chovisi refers to the set of 24 Tirthankaras (spiritual teachers) who appear in each half-cycle of time (Avasarpini and Utsarpini).

    Past (Atīt), Present (Vartaman), and Future (Anagat) Chovisi in Airavat Kshetra are described as follows:

    1. Past Chovisi (Atīt Chovisi)

    • In each time cycle, 24 Tirthankaras are born and establish the Jain religion.
    • In the past time cycle, 24 Tirthankaras appeared in Airavat Kshetra, just as they did in other kshetras.

    2. Present Chovisi (Vartaman Chovisi)

    • The current (Vartaman) set of 24 Tirthankaras is active in Airavat Kshetra (just as in Bharat and Mahavideh Kshetra).
    • These 24 Tirthankaras are different individuals from those in Bharat Kshetra, each with their own names and life stories according to Jain scriptures.
    • The Jain tradition holds that there is always a living Tirthankara present in Airavat Kshetra during the current time cycle.

    3. Future Chovisi (Anagat Chovisi)

    • In the future time cycles, again, 24 Tirthankaras will arise in Airavat Kshetra.
    • This cycle repeats endlessly as per Jain cosmology.

    Summary Table:

    | Kshetra | Past Chovisi | Present Chovisi | Future Chovisi | |-----------------|------------------|-------------------|------------------| | Airavat Kshetra | 24 Tirthankaras | 24 Tirthankaras | 24 Tirthankaras |

    Scriptural Reference: This cyclic appearance of Tirthankaras in Jambudwip's various kshetras (Bharat, Airavat, Mahavideh, etc.) is described in Jain texts such as the "Tiloyapannatti", "Trilokasara", and "Samaysar".

    Note: The individual names and details of Tirthankaras in Airavat Kshetra are typically not the same as those in Bharat Kshetra (where Lord Rishabhdev, Lord Mahavir, etc., appeared). Each kshetra has its own unique set of Tirthankaras for each cycle.

    If you would like the specific names of the Airavat Kshetra Tirthankaras, please specify, and I can provide them according to Jain scriptures.
