The Life of Lord Mahavir

Lord Mahavir was born in 599 BCE in Kundagrama, Bihar, India. He was born into a royal family and was named Vardhamana. At the age of 30, he renounced his luxurious life and became an ascetic, wandering around in search of spiritual enlightenment. After 12 years of rigorous penance and meditation, he attained enlightenment and became a Tirthankara, a spiritual teacher who shows the path to salvation.

Lord Mahavir’s teachings were based on the principles of non-violence, truthfulness, non-attachment, and compassion. He believed that every living being has a soul and that all souls are equal. He preached that one should follow the path of Ahimsa or non-violence towards all living beings, including animals and plants. He also emphasized the importance of self-control and detachment from material possessions.

The celebration of Mahavir Jayanti is not limited to Jains alone. People from all walks of life participate in the festival, which promotes unity, peace, and harmony. The festival is a reminder of the importance of non-violence, compassion, and respect for all living beings.

Jains observe a day-long fast on Mahavir Jayanti, which is broken only after performing puja and offering food to the poor and needy. The day is also marked by recitation of Jain scriptures and hymns, which are believed to bring peace and prosperity.

On this day, Jains also perform charitable acts, such as donating food, clothes, and money to the poor and needy. This is considered to be a way of following Lord Mahavir’s teachings of compassion and non-attachment.
