Is Krishna or Vishnu going to become a tinthankar
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.
Spiritual Understanding
In Jainism, Tirthankar status is very rare and comes through extraordinary purity, karma destruction, and spiritual evolution.
Krishna has an important place in Jain narrative tradition, but not as a Tirthankar.
Takeaway
So, according to Jain Dharma:
Krishna is not a Tirthankar, and Vishnu is not regarded as a Tirthankar.
