    24 thitankar attend moksh with how many days of fasting

    3 days ago 1

    Answer

    The 24th Tirthankar, Bhagwan Mahavir Swami, attained Moksha after observing a two-day fast.

    This is traditionally associated with Chaudash and Amavasya before his Nirvana.

    Explanation

    Bhagwan Mahavir attained Moksha at Pawapuri on the night of Kartik Amavasya. In Jain tradition, this sacred event is remembered as Mahavir Nirvana Kalyanak.

    His final fasting before Moksha is traditionally understood as two days of fasting.

    Spiritual Understanding

    Bhagwan Mahavir’s Moksha represents the complete destruction of all karmas and the soul’s liberation from the cycle of birth and death.

    Takeaway

    Bhagwan Mahavir Swami attained Moksha with a two-day fast, and his Nirvana is observed with deep devotion on Kartik Amavasya.
