LORD MAHAVIRA

Lord Mahavir was born on the thirteenth day of rising moon of Chaitra month,
599 B.C. in the state of Bihar, India. This day falls in the month of April as per
English calendar. His birthday is celebrated as Mahavir Jayanti day.

Mahavir was a prince and was given the name Vardhaman by his parents. Being
son of a king, he had many worldly pleasures, comforts, and services at his
command. But at the age of thirty, he left his family and royal household, gave
up his worldly possessions, and become a monk in search of a solution to
eliminate pain, sorrow, and sufferings.

Mahavir preached that right faith (samyak darshana), right knowledge (samyak jnana),
and right conduct (samyak charitra) together is the real path to attain the liberation
from karmic matter of one's self.

At the heart of right conduct for Jains lie the five great vows:
Nonviolence (Ahimsa) not to cause harm to any living beings
Truthfulness (Satya) to speak the harmless truth only
Non-stealing (Asetya) not to take anything not properly given
Chastity (Brahmacharya) not to indulge in sensual pleasure
complete detachment from people, places, and
Non-possession/Non-attachment
material things.
(Aparigraha)
Lord Mahavir was the twenty fourth and last Tirthankara of the Jain
religion of this era

DAYANAND SARASWATI Dayananda Saraswati was born on 12 February 1824 in

a Hindu family in Tankara, near Morbi in the Kathiawad region (now Rajkot district of
Gujarat). His original name was Mul Shankar because he was born in Dhanu Rashi and Mul
Nakshatra. His birthday is celebrated in Falguna Krishna Dashami tithi (the 10th day of
waning moon in the month of Purnimanta Falguna.

Dayanand Saraswati was a Hindu religious leader who founded the Arya Samaj, a Hindu
reform movements of the Vedic tradition. He was also a renowned scholar of the Vedic lore
and Sanskrit language.
His daily life and practice of yoga and asanas, teachings, preaching, sermons and writings,
he inspired the Hindu nation to aspire to Swarajya (self governance), nationalism, and
spiritualism. He advocated the equal rights and respects to women and advocated the
education of a girl child like the males.

Dayananda's Vedic message was to emphasize respect and reverence for other human beings,
supported by the Vedic notion of the divine nature of the individualdivine because the body was
the temple where the human essence (soul or "atma") had the possibility to interface with the
creator ("Paramatma"). In the ten principles of the Arya Samaj, he enshrined the idea that "All
actions should be performed with the prime objective of benefiting mankind", as opposed to
following dogmatic rituals or revering idols and symbols. The first five principles speak of Truth
and the other five of a society with nobility, civics, co-living and disciplined life. In his own life, he

interpreted moksha to be a lower calling (due to its benefit to one individual) than the calling to
emancipate others
