Some Information about Mahavir Jayanti and Lord Mahaveer

Mahavir Janma Kalyanak or Mahavir Jayanti is the most auspicious holiday for Jains, celebrated with much enthusiasm within the community.

1. Mahavir Jayanti commemorates the birth of Lord Mahavir, who was born in 599 BC at Kshatriyakund, Bihar, and was the founder of Jainism in India. He was the 24th and the last Tirthankar (teaching god who preaches dharma).

2. Born to King Siddartha and queen Trisala, Mahavir was named Vardhaman by his parents, and lived his early life like a prince.
In his early years, Vardhaman developed a deep interest in the core beliefs of Jainism and started meditating. At the age of 30, he renounced the throne and his family to seek spiritual truth and spent 12 years as a monk.

3. Mahavir led an extremely ascetic life and practiced meditation and severe penance for 12 years; his courage and commendable actions earned him the name Mahavir.

4. Lord Mahavir devoted the rest of his life to preaching the truth of spiritual freedom. Thus, Mahavir Jayanti is celebrated every year to commemorate his preaching and Jain philosophy.

Mahavir taught his followers the practice of non-violence and introduced them to the concept of salvation. Every year on Mahavir Jayanti, Jain followers offer prayers and respect by visiting temples that are lavishly decorated with flowers and flags. Rath yatras are also carried out by devotees on the day.
