You can learn about the Tirthankars step‑by‑step. Here is a very simple way to start:

1. First understand “Who is a Tirthankar?”

A Tirthankar is a soul who: - Destroys all ghati karmas and attains Kevalgyan (perfect knowledge). - Becomes Arihant and establishes the fourfold sangh (sadhus, sadhvis, shravaks, shravikas). - Shows the “ford” (tirth) to cross the ocean of birth and death. You can read a clear basic explanation here:

1. Learn the list of all 24 Tirthankars

First just memorize the names in order (Rishabhdev, Ajitnath, Sambhavnath… up to Mahavir Swami). Later you can add: - Their symbol (lanchhan) - Place of janma, diksha, kevalgyan, and nirvan - Their main life‑message (e.g., Rishabhdev – starting of civilisation, Mahavir – ahimsa & aparigraha)

1. Use Navkar Mantra as your base

In Navkar Mantra we bow to Arihants and Siddhas, which includes Tirthankars. Reading a simple explanation of Navkar Mantra automatically gives you a basic idea of who Arihant / Tirthankar is:

1. Study one Tirthankar at a time

For each Tirthankar, try to know just these points: - Name and number (e.g., 1st – Shri Rishabhdev Bhagwan) - Symbol (e.g., bull, lion, etc.) - One or two main teachings or incidents from life This keeps it simple and you will slowly remember all 24 in detail.

1. Look at images / idols with awareness

When you see a murti in temple or book: - Notice the symbol at the base – that tells you which Tirthankar it is. - Remember one quality of that Tirthankar and try to bring that quality in your own life (e.g., forgiveness, non‑violence, non‑attachment).

1. Understand their qualities, not only stories

Very important in Jainism: - We do not worship Tirthankars for miracles; - We worship their gunas (qualities) – vitaragata, ahimsa, aparigraha, samata. Try to connect each Tirthankar with a guna you want to practice daily.

1. Know the time‑cycle point

- In every half cycle of time there are exactly 24 Tirthankars. - In our current Avasarpini, the last (24th) was Bhagwan Mahavir. This helps you see them in the bigger Jain cosmic picture. You can also read a simple Q&A on “Why 24 Tirthankars?” here:

1. Daily small practice

- Recite Navkar Mantra with understanding. - Take one Tirthankar per week: read a short life sketch and remember one virtue to practice that week.

If you tell me your age and whether you follow mainly Digambar or Shwetambar tradition, I can suggest a very simple sequence (like which Tirthankar to start with, and what 1–2 books or PDFs will suit you best).
