Answer

In Jain Dharma, the term “Side Bhagwan” is not a standard traditional term. You may be referring to “Siddha Bhagwan”.

There are 15 types of Siddha Bhagwan described in Jain tradition based on different viewpoints such as gender, place, time, spiritual path, and conditions before liberation.

15 Types of Siddha Bhagwan

The 15 types are commonly explained as:

1. Tirtha Siddha – Souls liberated during the time of a Tirthankar’s fourfold Jain Sangh.
2. Atirtha Siddha – Souls liberated when the Tirthankar’s Sangh is not present.
3. Tirthankar Siddha – Tirthankars who attained moksha.
4. Atirthankar Siddha – Liberated souls who were not Tirthankars.
5. Sayogi Siddha – Souls who attained liberation after passing through the final state with activity.
6. Ayogi Siddha – Souls who attained liberation from the final motionless state.
7. Swayambuddha Siddha – Souls who attained right knowledge by themselves.
8. Pratyekabuddha Siddha – Souls who attained spiritual awakening through particular causes or reflections.
9. Buddhabodhita Siddha – Souls who attained awakening through the teaching of enlightened beings.
10. Purush Siddha – Male-bodied beings who attained liberation.
11. Stri Siddha – Female-bodied beings who attained liberation.
12. Napunsak Siddha – Neuter-bodied beings who attained liberation.
13. Svalinga Siddha – Those who attained liberation in their own accepted ascetic form.
14. Anyalinga Siddha – Those who attained liberation in another external form.
15. Grihaling Siddha – Those who attained liberation while externally appearing in householder form.

Explanation

All Siddhas are equal in their pure nature. These 15 divisions do not mean that Siddhas have differences after moksha. After liberation, every Siddha has:

• Infinite knowledge
• Infinite perception
• Infinite bliss
• Infinite energy
• No karma
• No body
• No rebirth

The 15 types describe their condition or classification before attaining liberation, not differences after becoming Siddha.

Spiritual Understanding

Remembering Siddha Bhagwan inspires us to understand the final goal of Jain Dharma: freedom from all karma and complete purity of the soul.

Takeaway

The 15 types of Siddha Bhagwan show that liberation is the highest state, and once a soul becomes Siddha, all Siddhas are perfectly pure and equal.
