Answer

The commonly stated current figure for the Jain Shwetambar Terapanth Dharm Sangh is about:

153 monks
550 nuns
About 700 total ascetics

Note

These numbers can change whenever new diksha takes place or when an ascetic attains samadhi/maran. For the most exact “right now” number, the official Terapanth Dharm Sangh records would be the most reliable.
