Answer

In Jain Dharma, there is no exact year given for the next Tirthankar. According to the tradition, the next Tirthankar will come in the next Utsarpini era, which is many millions of years in the future.

Explanation

In the current Avasarpini cycle, Bhagwan Mahavir was the 24th Tirthankar. After the 24th Tirthankar, there is no immediate next Tirthankar in this half-cycle.

So, from a Jain perspective:

• Not soon
• No fixed year is stated
• It will be in the next ascending time cycle

Spiritual Understanding

Jain Dharma teaches that Tirthankaras appear according to the natural flow of time and karma, not by human scheduling. Their arrival is always in accordance with the cosmic cycle.

Takeaway

The next Tirthankar will come only in the next Utsarpini, which is far beyond our present age.
