    Can a person born in fourth ara go to moksh in fifth ara

    7 months ago 127

    Short, clear answer:

    • A soul that is born in the 4th āra (chautha kāl) but does not attain moksh in that same 4th āra
    cannot attain moksh later in the 5th āra from Bhārat Kṣetra (our land).

    Reason in simple terms:

    1. Moksh is possible only where and when:

    - Tirthankars / Kevalī Bhagwāns are present, - And the spiritual era (ārā) is suitable.

    1. According to Jain scriptures (both Digambar and Shvetāmbara traditions agree):

    - In the present 5th āra (Pancham Kaal) of Bhārat and Airāvat Kṣetra, - No Tirthankar is born, - No Kevalī arises, - No soul attains moksh from here. ( jainknowledge.com)

    1. So if someone was born in 4th āra, then:

    - If they reached kevaljnān and moksh while the 4th āra was still going on → moksh is possible. - If they missed that chance and time has moved to 5th āra, then they can only create strong causes (karmic punya + samvar–nirjarā) in 5th āra, and later attain moksh in some future suitable era/region (for example, Mahāvideh Kṣetra or a future good āra).

    So:

    • No direct moksh from Bhārat in 5th āra,
    • Yes, the same soul can attain moksh later, but in a different place/time, after finishing the necessary karmas.

    If you want, you can also read a simple explanation on moksh and 5th āra here:
