Answer

Jain parampara ke anusaar, Bhagwan Neminath ji vartamān avasarpini kāl ke 22वें Tirthankar hain.

Unke samay ke baare mein Jain parampara mein yeh maana jaata hai:

• Bhagwan Neminath ji ka janm: Mahabharat-kāl ke aas-paas maana jaata hai.
• Unka moksh: Girnar Parvat se maana jaata hai.

Lekin “aaj 2026 se exact kitne saal pehle” — iski ek sarv-svikrit exact historical year-count Jain parampara mein spasht roop se sthir nahi hai.

Isliye main exact number banaakar nahi keh sakta.

Explanation

Bhagwan Mahavir Swami ji aur Bhagwan Parshwanath ji ke samay ke baare mein Jain parampara aur itihas mein tulnatmak roop se adhik spasht samay-maryada milti hai:

• Bhagwan Mahavir Swami: lagbhag 2600 saal pehle
• Bhagwan Parshwanath: Bhagwan Mahavir se lagbhag 250 saal pehle

Lekin Bhagwan Neminath ji ka samay Mahabharat sambandhit maana jaata hai. Jain parampara mein Bhagwan Neminath ji ko Shri Krishna ji ke cousin ke roop mein bhi maana jaata hai. Isliye unka kaal Mahabharat-yug se juda hua maana jaata hai.

Par Mahabharat-yug ke exact historical dating mein alag-alag paramparāon aur vidwānon ke beech antar milta hai. Isliye “2026 se exactly kitne saal pehle” kehna Jain dharm ki drishti se satarkata ke saath hi kiya ja sakta hai.

Spiritual Understanding

Bhagwan Neminath ji ke jeevan ka sabse mahatvapūrṇ sandesh hai:

• Karuna
• Ahimsa
• Vairagya
• Tyag

Vivaah ke samay jab unhone bandhe hue pashuon ki karunāmay pukār suni, to unke andar gahra vairagya jag gaya. Unhone rajya, bhog aur vivaah sab tyag kar diksha grahan ki. Yeh Jain Dharma mein ahimsa aur karuna ka ati mahan udāharan maana jaata hai.

Takeaway

Bhagwan Neminath ji ke janm aur moksh ka exact “2026 se kitne saal pehle” number dena uchit nahi hai, kyunki vah clearly established exact historical count ke roop mein Jain parampara mein sthir nahi hai.

Lekin itna nishchit hai ki Jain parampara ke anusaar Bhagwan Neminath ji 22वें Tirthankar hain, unka sambandh Mahabharat-kāl se maana jaata hai, aur unka moksh Girnar Parvat se hua maana jaata hai.
