    telle me past and future tirhankars in jain

    one year ago 524

    In Jainism, Tirthankaras are spiritual teachers who have attained perfect knowledge (Kevala Jnana) and guide others on the path of liberation. According to Jain tradition, there are 24 Tirthankaras in each half of every time cycle (Avasarpini and Utsarpini). We are currently in the fifth era (Avasarpini) of the present time cycle, and all 24 Tirthankaras of this era have already appeared.

    Past (Current Avasarpini) 24 Tirthankaras:

    1. Rishabhanatha (Adinath)
    2. Ajitanatha
    3. Sambhavanatha
    4. Abhinandananatha
    5. Sumatinatha
    6. Padmaprabha
    7. Suparshvanatha
    8. Chandraprabha
    9. Pushpadanta (Suvidhinatha)
    10. Shitalanatha
    11. Shreyansanatha
    12. Vasupujya
    13. Vimalanatha
    14. Anantanatha
    15. Dharmanatha
    16. Shantinatha
    17. Kunthunatha
    18. Aranatha
    19. Mallinatha
    20. Munisuvratanatha
    21. Naminatha
    22. Neminatha
    23. Parshvanatha
    24. Mahavira (Vardhamana)

    Future Tirthankaras:

    According to Jain scriptures, after the 24th Tirthankara Mahavira, there will be no more Tirthankaras in the current Avasarpini (descending half-cycle). The next Tirthankaras will appear in the next Utsarpini (ascending half-cycle), which will occur after the current period of spiritual decline has ended.

    The first Tirthankara of the next Utsarpini will again be Rishabhanatha. Jain texts such as the "Trilokasara" and "Tiloya Panatti" provide detailed cosmological calculations about the appearance of future Tirthankaras, but individual names and biographies are not generally provided for the Tirthankaras of future cycles.

    Summary:

    • All 24 Tirthankaras of the present Avasarpini have already appeared.
    • There will be no more Tirthankaras in the current time cycle.
    • The next set of 24 Tirthankaras will appear in the next Utsarpini, starting with Rishabhanatha.
