    Parswanth bhagwan moksha story

    one year ago 324

    Certainly! Here is the story of Parshvanath Bhagwan’s moksha according to Jain tradition:

    Parshvanath Bhagwan is the 23rd Tirthankara in Jainism. He was born to King Ashvasena and Queen Vamadevi in Varanasi (Kashi). From his early years, he displayed deep compassion and detachment from worldly pleasures. At the age of 30, he renounced his royal life and became a monk, practicing severe penance and meditation.

    Parshvanath attained Keval Jnana (omniscience) after 84 days of intense spiritual practices. He spent the rest of his life spreading the message of non-violence, truth, non-stealing, celibacy, and non-possession (the four vows, which later became five with Mahavira).

    At the age of 100, Parshvanath Bhagwan attained moksha (liberation) on the sacred mountain Sammed Shikharji (also called Shikharji or Parshvanath Hill) in present-day Jharkhand, India. According to Jain scriptures, as he meditated in deep samadhi, he destroyed all his karmas and attained the eternal state of Siddha—a soul free from the cycle of birth and death, dwelling forever in bliss atop Siddhashila.

    His moksha is commemorated by Jains with great devotion, especially at Shikharji, which is considered the most sacred pilgrimage site in Jainism, as 20 of the 24 Tirthankaras attained moksha there.

    Summary of Parshvanath Bhagwan’s Moksha:

    • Attained moksha at: Shikharji (Sammed Shikharji)
    • Age at moksha: 100 years
    • How: Through deep meditation, destroying all karmas
    • Status after moksha: Siddha (liberated soul)

    Jain texts such as the Kalpa Sutra and various commentaries recount Parshvanath’s life and liberation as an example of the path to spiritual perfection.
