Looking back to history, life wasn’t how we live it today. There was no word like “equality” ever existed. Society was bifurcated between casts, genders, and status of living. People were forced to live a brutal life, people were disrespected, and suffering prevailed. Until one day, in 599 BC, a revolutionary was born who changed the thinking and proceedings of the world. Lord Mahavira was the 24th Tirthankara of Jainism. He was the preacher and Spiritual leader of Jainism. Mahavira believed in equality and kept everyone at equal foot, be it women, men, or lower and upper cast people.
Mahavira’s life was not that easy. He strived hard to establish equality and faced a lot of hardship, taking Jainism to different popularity. So, in this writing, we will know about Mahavira and the spiritual significance of Jainism.
The early life of Mahavira
When she was pregnant, his mother, Queen Trishala, had 14 dreams depicting in Jain sculpture that his unborn child was destined to be a great preacher. Mahavira was initially named Vardhamana by his parents. He was highly talented, and the extraordinary talent in him was visible from his childhood. He was brave and brilliant at the same time. Being born and raised in luxury, Vardhamana never looked up to that lifestyle. He always lived a simple life.
He married a young girl, ‘Yashodhara’ as his parents wished, and had a baby girl called “Priyadarshana.” At the early age of 30, he abdicated the throne and left his family searching for spiritual truth. He chose to live an ascetic life and spend most of the time meditating and kept silent for more than 12 years. He fasted and ate only once and then switched to eating alternate days.
Mahavira and His Preaching
Mahavira explained that the reason for our bondage to karmic atoms is ignorance. The karmic atom accumulates your good and evil deeds. Worldly pleasure is the reason that instigates greed, anger, violence, and many such vices.
He explained that a few things could liberate us from a karmic matter of oneself. Those few things are:
- Right Faith (Samyak Darshana)
- Right Knowledge (Samyak Jana)
- Right Conduct (Samyak Charitra)
There are five vows of Jainism that can help you to find the truth in your life, and they are:
· Nonviolence (Ahimsa)- Not to harm any living being
· Truthfulness (Satya)- Always follow the path of truth
· Non-stealing (Asetya)- Never steal anything to fulfill your worldly desire
· Chastity (Brahmacharya)- Follow the path of Brahmacharya
· Non- Possession (Aparigraha)- be detached from all the people, places, and otherworldly things
Spiritual Aspect
As spiritual advancement, Mahavira envisioned men and women at equal feet. The lure of renunciation and liberation attracted both equally, and both have the right to attain it. Several women followed Mahavira’s teaching and achieved the ultimate truth and happiness.
Mahavira focused on meditation and self-purification, obeying the preaching of Jainism. Meditation calms mind-body-soul and uplifts you from all the grief and sorrows surrounding you. It will elevate your soul and reincarnate it to a higher spiritual level and help you achieve perfect enlightenment. You will reach the final destination of Eternal Bliss, ending the cycle of birth and death.
You can also attain everything mentioned with the help of a guru.
