After which year did the path to moksh was closed
Answer
In Jain Dharma, there is no single Gregorian year that is universally accepted for this.The path to moksha is traditionally said to have become closed at the end of the 4th ara of the current avasarpini time cycle. Since we are now in the 5th ara, direct moksha is believed to be unavailable in this age.
Explanation
Jainism explains time through cosmic cycles, not just one historical calendar year.- Moksha was possible in earlier aras
- It became impossible after the 4th ara ended
- The exact year is described differently in various Jain traditions, so a single fixed year is not commonly given
Spiritual Understanding
This teaching reminds us that this human birth is precious. Even if direct liberation is not possible in the present age, one should still practice:- Right faith
- Right knowledge
- Right conduct
- Self-discipline
- Non-violence
- Compassion
