Mahavira Jayanti - Teachings of Jainism

On Mahavira Jayanti, we commemorate the birth anniversary of Mahavira Swami, the last Tirthankara in the Jaina tradition and one of the brightest stars in the pantheon of great human beings born on Indian soil. His teachings are as relevant today as they were more than two and a half millennia ago.

This apostle of non-violence preached that in order to achieve moksha or liberation it is important to follow the three principles of:

  • Right Faith (samyak-darshana)
  • Right Knowledge (samyak-jnana)
  • Right Conduct (samyak-charitra)
