Happy Mahavir Jayanti: Know It’s Significance, Subh Muhurat, And Rituals

The Jain community celebrates the day by going to a temple and offering prayers to the statue of Lord Mahavir. On this day, charitable activities and donations are also undertaken. Lord Mahavir, who gained Nirvana at the age of 72, was an advocate of non-violence, a peaceful existence, and love for all mankind. At the age of 30, he abdicated his kingdom and spent the remainder of his life as an ascetic.

Significance Of Mahavir Jayanti

The 24th Tirthankara of the Jain religion, Mahavir is regarded as restricting the Jain monastic community. Lord Mahavir was born into a noble Jain family to king Siddhartha and queen trishala in Bihar and was earlier known as Vardhaman.
He left his home at the age of 30 in pursuit of spiritual enlightenment and salvation. Devotees claim that Mahavira was born in 599 BCE on the thirteen days of Shukla Paksha in the month of Chaitra. The two Jain, Swetambar and Digambar, both are born in different years. Digambar was born in 599 BC and Swetambar was born in 615 BC.
The gregorian calendar places this day in either March or April. This Time it is celebrated on 4th April.
