    can we met titrthankars after our death or while alive?

    a month ago 4

    Answer

    Yes, but only in a Jain sense and only under certain conditions.
    • While alive: You can physically meet a living Tirthankar only if you are born in the same time and place as that Tirthankar.
    • After death: Your soul would need a future birth in a place and time where a Tirthankar is living. Then meeting is possible in that new birth.
    • After a Tirthankar attains nirvana: They become a Siddha, and then they cannot be met physically.

    Explanation

    In Jain Dharma, a Tirthankar is a fully enlightened being who shows the path to liberation.

    In our present age and region, we do not have a living Tirthankar on Earth to meet physically. Mahavir Swami was the last Tirthankar in this time cycle in Bharata Kshetra.

    So, in practical terms:

    • You cannot meet a Tirthankar right now in physical form.
    • You may have darshan, devotion, and remembrance through images, scriptures, and prayers.
    • In some future birth, if conditions are right, the soul can meet a living Tirthankar.

    Spiritual Understanding

    In Jainism, the main goal is not just meeting a Tirthankar physically, but following their teachings:
    • right faith
    • right knowledge
    • right conduct
    • non-violence
    • self-control
    • purification of the soul

    A true connection with a Tirthankar is also through shraddha, bhakti, and practice.

    Takeaway

    Physically, yes only if a Tirthankar is living in the same time and place. After death, only in a future birth, if the conditions are right. After nirvana, a Tirthankar becomes a Siddha and is not met physically.
