Who got thirthankar name by God's bhakti
Answer
In Jain Dharma, no Tirthankar becomes a Tirthankar by God’s bhakti.A Tirthankar is born due to the high spiritual purity of the soul, especially the rise of Tirthankar-nāma-karma. It is not a title given by a creator God.
Explanation
In Jain philosophy:- Bhakti to God does not create Tirthankarhood
- Tirthankarhood comes from the soul’s own purity, karma, and spiritual effort
- A Tirthankar is one who has attained the highest level of spiritual development and then establishes the tirtha — the spiritual path for others
So, if you mean “which Tirthankar got this name because of devotion to God,” the Jain answer is: none.
Spiritual Understanding
Jain Dharma teaches self-effort, self-purification, and inner discipline.The path is not based on being chosen by a God, but on:
- Right faith
- Right knowledge
- Right conduct
- Austerity
- Compassion
- Non-violence
This is why Tirthankars are revered as perfect spiritual guides, not as beings appointed by a divine creator.
Takeaway
Tirthankarhood is earned through karma and spiritual purity, not granted by God’s bhakti.If you want, I can also explain:
- how a soul becomes a Tirthankar in Jainism, or
- what Tirthankar-nāma-karma means.
