JAINISM STATUS--POST MAHAWEERSWAMI SALVATION------------!!!

It is interesting to study developments in Jainism after Mahaveer Bhagwan got salvation/Moksha. Devotees can update themselves about it. One can refer Aagams to check the authenticity of material,
After Veerniran only 3 noble soul got salvation i.e.Moksha. They are Gautamswami,Sudhrama Swami and Jambuswami. After  Bhagwan
Mahveerswami----------Sudharmaswami who was his fifth disciple
( Ganadhar) took over from Him. Then last siddha was Jambuswami.Thus Kevaldyan lasted in our era only for 64 years of Mahaveerswami's Nirvan-12 years Gautamswami + 08 years of Sudharmaswamiji and forty four years of Jambuswamiji. Then we made entry into 5th Aara of Kalchakra where Kewaldyan is missing.
After that salvation from Bharatsketra came to an end. Presently only souls from Mahavidehakhetra are eligible for salvation. After end of  64 years- only Shrutkevaldyan remained for next 151 years. It means such kevaldyani were knowing all 14 Shrut. They are being called as Chodahpurvadhari. In those 151 years only 6 souls can obtain this
 high level of knowledge. Their names being- Pujya Shrutdyanaji-- -Prabhavswami,Shayabhavswami.Yashobhadraswami.Sambhutivijayswami Bhadrabhahuswami and Sthulibhadra Swamiji.
After 160 years of Veernirvan ,there was a extreme difficult drought   of continuous 12 years. In this period all Aagams got scattered.12th Angasutra Drastiwad as a practice is not available after two Paats---  ( position) after Thrithankara Bhagwan. It contained a high treasure.
Then there was 4 readings of balance 11 Angasutras originally read by Sudrarmaswami known as Vachna. Present available Aagams are based on it. First Vachna was carried in Patliputra Second Vachna was made in Mathura by Aacharya Skandilacharya. Third Vachna was done by Nagarjun Aacharya and last was done by Aacharya Deodhigani Kshma Shravan after 993 years of Veernirvan in city of Vallabhipuri. It was a great new beginning for Jain religion.
 Thus Aagam got book form. But it again got scattered here and there. Then in Vikram Samwat1472 Veer Lokashah from Ahmadabad in Gujarat took much needed efforts and done replicating and doing preservation of Aagams in present form. Present era of 20th century 
 marked byJaymalji,Jawaharlalji,Amolkaji,Ghasilalji,Aanandrushiji ,Umeshmuniji,Madhukarmuniji.Hastimalji,Hajarimalji,Samarthgurudeo,Ghevarchandji. Prakashgurudeo and so many other great souls.In the series Dhyanchandji and Dharmasajji Maharaj made a very good and major contribution. Aachyaraji of all branches added more to the interpretation of Aagam. Our great salutes are due to them for efforts
Acharyaji contributed to translate and interpret those Aagaams in Hindi and other local languages. It was a real tough task for them.

Even some scholar Shravaks also contributed to it. All such efforts made it available to us in present form. We are fortunate to have it.
Thus we owe a high obligations towards all these great and noble souls who helped us to have Jinwani through Aagams.
