Is Krishna or Vishnu going to become a tinthankar
12
Answer
No. In Jain Dharma, Krishna is not considered a Tirthankar, and Vishnu is not described as a Tirthankar either.Explanation
- A Tirthankar is one of the 24 supreme souls who establish the Jain path in a cosmic time cycle.
- Krishna is known in Jain tradition as Vasudeva Krishna, one of the 63 great persons, but not a Tirthankar.
- “Vishnu,” as understood in other traditions, is not generally listed as a Tirthankar in Jain teachings.
