List the names of past present and future tithankars . I suppose 24 in every cycle . Can I get the list of all please ?
In Jain Dharma, 24 Tirthankars appear in each half-cycle of time, but there is not one single finite list of all past, present, and future Tirthankars across endless time, because the cycles go on continuously.
For our present Avasarpini era, the 24 Tirthankars are:
- Rishabhanatha
- Ajitnatha
- Sambhavanatha
- Abhinandananatha
- Sumatinatha
- Padmaprabhu
- Suparshvanatha
- Chandraprabhu
- Pushpadanta
- Shitalnatha
- Shreyansanatha
- Vasupujya
- Vimalanatha
- Anantanatha
- Dharmanatha
- Shantinatha
- Kunthunatha
- Aranatha
- Mallinatha
- Munisuvrata
- Naminatha
- Neminatha
- Parshvanatha
- Mahavira Swami
Simple understanding
- Present cycle: these are the 24 Tirthankars of the current era.
- Past cycles: there were also 24 Tirthankars in earlier cycles.
- Future cycles: there will again be 24 Tirthankars in coming cycles.
So yes, 24 in every cycle is the Jain understanding.
If you want, I can also give the names in Hindi/Sanskrit order or the brief family, symbol, and birth place of all 24.
