Mahaveerji ya Mahavira, Jain dharm ke 24th Tirthankar the. Unka janam Vardhamana ke roop me hua tha, aur unhone ahimsa (non-violence), satya (truth), anekantavada (many-sided truth), aur aparigraha (non-possessiveness) jaise shikshan diye. Inki zindagi aur updesh Jain dharma ke mukhya aadhar hai.

• Ahimsa: Hinsa se door rehna, jaanvaro aur manavta ke prati komal bhavna.
• Satya: Saty ko hi bolna, jhooth se door rehna.
• Anekantavada: Sach ko kai nazariyon se samajhna, kisi ek drishti se puri sach nahi hoti.
• Aparigraha: Adhikar aur sampatti ki alice bina jaruri ke na hona.

Digambar aur Shwetambar tradition me kuch vividh arth ya vivaran ho sakte hain, par dono hi Mahaveerji ko sammanit Tirthankar mante hain aur unki shiksha ko mool dharm ke roop me sweekar karte hain.

Agar aap chahen, main inke updeshon ki short arth (arth) ko simple shabdon me aur adhik spasht roop se samjha sakta/ sakti hoon.
