Bhagwan Rishabhdev (Adinath) aur naari‑shiksha ka vishay Jain dharm me bahut sundar tarah se aata hai.

1. Rishabhdev ka parichay (sandarbh ke liye)

• Bhagwan Rishabhdev hamare पहले Tirthankar hain.
• Pita – Raja Nabhiraj, Mata – Marudevi, janm‑sthan – Ayodhya (Vinita).
• Unka lanchhan (chinh) – vrishabh / bail.

2. Betiyan: Brāhmī aur Sundarī

Jain paramparā me bataya gaya hai ki Rishabhdev Bhagwan ki do pramukh betiyan thin:

• Brahmi (Brāhmī)
• Sundari (Sundarī / Mahāsatī Sundarī)

Paramparā anusar:

• Bhagwan Rishabhdev ne Brahmi ko lipi (likhna‑padhna) sikhāyā.

- Isliye use “Brāhmī lipi ki pravartak” bhi mana jata hai.

• Sundari ko ganit / ank‑vigyān (numbers, hisāb‑kitāb) sikhāyā.

Yah kahāni dono paramparāon (Digambar aur Shwetambar) me mool roop se swikārit hai, bas kuchh granthon/lok‑kathāon me names aur chhote‑mote vivaran ka antar milta hai.

Iska seedha arth: Jain dharm ki prārambhik paramparā me hi striyon ko uchch shiksha dena ek pavitra kaam mana gaya.

Is vishay par ek saral lekh bhi milta hai yahan

3. Naari‑shiksha ka sandesh Jain drishti se

Jain darshan ke kuchh mool bindu:

1. Ātmā na purush hai na naari – sab jivo ki atma ek‑si svabhav wali hai.
2. Moksha ka adhikār – naari ho ya purush, dono ke liye saman hai

(sekton me kuchh siddhanto par vichār‑bhinnata ho sakti hai, lekin naari ki adhyatmik kshamata dono hi paramparāon me māni gayi hai).

1. Rishabhdev ka apni betiyon ko lipi aur ganit sikhānā is baat ka pratyaksh udāharan hai ki:

- Gyan sirf purushon ke liye nahi, - Gyan aur shiksha sab ke liye hai – naari ho ya purush.

4. Aaj ke samay ke liye sandesh

• Jain drishti se naari‑shiksha sirf “rojgār” ke liye nahi,

balki samyak jnān, sahi soch, aur dharmik jeevan ke liye atyant zaruri hai.

• Jab pehle Tirthankar ne hi apni betiyon ko uchch shiksha di,

to humein bhi: - ghar me ladkiyo ko adhyayan, dharm‑adhyayan, dono me protsahan dena chahiye, - unke saath saman samman aur saman astitva se vyavhar karna chahiye.

Saar:

• Bhagwan Rishabhdev ko sabhyata, kala, vyavastha ke sath‑sath

striyon ko shikshit karne ke prarambhak roop me bhi yaad kiya jata hai.

• Unka udaharan Sikhata hai:

“Jahan gyan hai, wahan bhed‑bhav nahi; naari‑purush dono ka adhikar ek jaisa hai.”
