Of course.

In Jain Dharma, time is understood through Avasarpiṇī and Utsarpiṇī, which are the two endless cycles of time.

1. Avasarpiṇī

Avasarpiṇī is the descending half-cycle of time. In this period, righteousness, lifespan, strength, and happiness gradually decrease.

This Avasarpiṇī has 6 eras (aras):

1. Suṣamā-suṣamā — utmost happiness
2. Suṣamā
3. Suṣamā-duḥṣamā
4. Duḥṣamā-suṣamā
5. Duḥṣamā
6. Duḥṣamā-duḥṣamā — utmost sorrow

We are presently in the 5th era of Avasarpiṇī, called Duḥṣamā.

2. Utsarpiṇī

Utsarpiṇī is the ascending half-cycle of time. In this period, righteousness, lifespan, strength, and happiness gradually increase.

It also has the same 6 eras, but in reverse order of progress.

3. The 24 Tirthankaras

In every half-cycle of time, 24 Tirthankaras are born. A Tirthankara is a fully enlightened soul who revives the path of liberation and establishes the Jain Sangh.

In the current Avasarpiṇī, the 24 Tirthankaras have already appeared, beginning with:

• Ṛṣabhanātha

and ending with

• Mahāvīra Swāmī

Simple way to remember

• Avasarpiṇī = decline
• Utsarpiṇī = rise
• 24 Tirthankaras = 24 spiritual guides in each half-cycle

If you want, I can also explain this in a very simple Gujarati/Hindi style.
