Jain Tirthankaras

Jain Tirthankaras are revered spiritual teachers in Jainism, believed to have achieved perfect enlightenment and liberation (moksha). They serve as guides, illustrating the path to non-violence (ahimsa), truth, and self-control. Traditionally, 24 Tirthankaras are recognized, each attaining spiritual liberation and inspiring followers through their teachings and example. They are not gods but revered teachers who have rediscovered and shared wisdom to help others achieve the highest spiritual goals. Their life stories emphasize virtues like compassion, self-discipline, and ethical conduct, forming the core of Jain philosophical and ethical practices.
