IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT THE LESSON

Lovely Kids! all of you have read the third lesson of Bal Vikar Part one and now you will read
the fourth lesson "24 Teerthankars".
In this fourth lesson Poojya Ganini Pramukh Shri Gyanmati Mataji has told the names and
symbols of twenty four Teerthankars.
Probably, you must be knowing these twenty four names. Yet you should now remember
their symbols also, so that you can recognize the Idol of a particular Teerthankar. After remembering
these, you should go to any Jain Mandir and write down in your diary the names of the
Teerthankar-Idols present in that Mandir.
I want to tell you about Teerthankar Lord Mahaveer. Who was He ? How He got the rank
of Teerthankar ? Firstly you should know that at present, all of us are living in the era of Lord
Mahaveer. Because after Him, no Teerthankar has born on this earth. In future, when fourth
era will come again in the Bharat Kshetra, twenty four Teerthankars will be born here at Ayodhya
Nagari.
Teerthankar Mahaveer was born at Kundalpur of Bihar State. His father’s name was King
Siddharth and the name of His mother was Queen Trishla. Mahaveer was born on Chaitra
Shukla Trayodashi. He did not marry and took the vow of celibacy for whole life. He took
Jaineshwari Deeksha at thirty years of age and attained Kevalgyan after twelve years of penance,
at the age of 42. His first divine preaching was originated on the Vipulachal Mountain of Rajgrahi
in Bihar State.
For thirty years, Bhagwan Mahaveer preached the whole universe sitting in Samavasaran.
After that, He attained Salvation/Nirvandham from Jalmandir of Pavapuri Teerth in Bihar Sate.
Lovely Children! You have known about the brief introduction of Lord Mahaveer.
Now you should also remember that Lord Mahaveer was not the founder of Jainism because
He was the twenty fourth Teerthankar. Infact, in this era Jainism was first propagated by
Lord Rishabhdev, the first Teerthankar.
Being a Jain, you should always remain vegetarian because 'Live and Let Live' is the main
preaching of all the Teerthankars.
