JAINISM-BHAGWAN MAHAVEER 5 KALYANAK----------!!!

Bhagwan Mahaveerswami is center of faith and knowledge for billions of followers of Jainism. As a last Thirthankara ,he showed the way of salvation to world. It is but natural for everybody to be curious for knowing major events of his life. I am sharing some of
major events of Bhagwan as given in Angasutra--Samvayangsutra. 11,55 and 82 Samyay can be referred for more details of it.

A--Chavan,birth and Diksha---.As a rule Thirthankars get birth in Skhatriya family only. But soul of Bhagwan has made pride of his great family in his birth of Marichi. So after completing life of Deogati from 10th Deologa-Pranat, he came to uterus of mother
Devanandamata ,wife of Bramin Rishabhdatta staying in Bhraman Kundapur. The day was Aashwin Krishna Teras. He stayed with this mother for 82 days.Subsequently, returned to Trishalamata.

 Then ambassador of Shakendra-Harinegmeshideo transferred his soul to mother Thrishalamata, wife of King Siddarath who was ruling Skshtriya Kundalpur. Approx2613 years before present time, Bhagwan took birth. Mata Trishala got the hint of great soul taking birth, when she saw 14 great dreams. Those dreams are being duly covered in another blog in detail. All mothers of Thirthankar see
these fourteen dreams as a hint for arrival of a noble soul to her.

The birth day was Chaitra Shukla Trayodashi and Nakshatra was

Uttarafalguni.It was the same Nakshtra for his Diksha and obtaining Kevaldyan. At age of 30 he took Diksha. He alone took Dikhsha. He got his first food as Kheer by Bhahul. Guru Gautamswami and Sati Chandanbalaji were his main and principle disciples

B-Kevaldyan---After 12.50 years of  Sadhana ,Bhagwan obtained complete knowledge. The day was Vaishakshukla Dashmi. The place was outside of Jumbhikagram Nagar. It was outside skirt of Rujubaluka river and  it was under the tree called Shaal-Vriksha. Bhagwan has fast of two days and was in Ukaduaasan known as Goduhika-Aasan when he obtained this unique great Kewaldyan

C--Salvation-- In Apapa Nagar Bhagwan got salvation .The day was Kartikvadi Amavashya and Nakshtra was being Swati. Before salvation Bhagwan was giving Deshna of Vipak and Uttaradhyan

Sutra ,sitting in Paryank Aasan. His parents Devananda and Mata Rishabhdatta also got salvation. Trishalamata and Siddarthraja took birth in 12th deoloka. 700 disciples of Bhagwan got salvation.This was prior to 2541 years ago. For all those years, this great soul is guiding us for path of salvation. No one can match his achievement 
We bow down to this great soul who showed us way of life and salvation. Let us try to follow path shown by him. Grand Salute--!!!.
