Today is the auspicious occasion when Lord Mahavir Swami, who led the entire humanity on the path of truth, non-violence and self-restraint, was born. On this auspicious occasion, Paras Parivar extends heartfelt wishes of Mahavir Jayanti to all the devotees and community friends.

Biography of Lord Mahavir</>The 24th and last Tirthankara of Jainism, Lord Mahavir was born in 599 BC in the house of King Siddhartha, the king of Kundalpur in Vaishali state, and Queen Trishala. He was patient, kind and thoughtful since childhood. Despite being brought up in a royal family, he abandoned the attachment to the world at the young age of 30 and adopted the path of self-introspection.

After doing hard penance for 12 years, he attained Kevalgyan, due to which he was called “Mahavir”. Through his knowledge, he showed the path of religion and humanity to the society.

Mahavir Swami's philosophy

Paaras Parivar The three jewels of Mahavir Swami - Samyak Darshan, Samyak Gyan and Samyak Charitra, are known to be the basic foundation of human life. According to Mahavir Ji, for public welfare and social upliftment, principles like non-violence, truth, non-stealing, celibacy and non-possession are essential.

non-violence is the supreme religion.
