    How many God and goddess in jain total number of

    9 months ago 194

    In Jainism, there is no concept of a creator God or goddess who controls or creates the universe. Instead, Jainism teaches that every soul (jiva) has the potential to become a perfected being known as a Tirthankara or a Siddha (liberated soul). There are 24 Tirthankaras in each time cycle, and they are revered as spiritual teachers who show the path to liberation.

    Jainism does acknowledge the existence of many divine beings (devas and devis) who reside in heavenly realms, but these are souls like humans who have accumulated good karma and are enjoying its fruits in the heavenly abodes. They are not eternal, nor are they creators or destroyers of the universe. Their exact number is considered infinite, as per Jain cosmology.

    The primary focus of Jain worship is on the Tirthankaras, Arihants (souls who have conquered inner passions), and Siddhas (liberated souls), rather than on gods and goddesses in the sense of creators or controllers.

    To summarize:

    • Tirthankaras: 24 in each time cycle
    • Siddhas: Infinite (all liberated souls)
    • Devas and devis: Infinite, but not worshipped as supreme beings
    • No creator God or goddess in Jainism

    Worship in Jainism is primarily directed towards the Tirthankaras and Siddhas as ideals of spiritual perfection.
