Mahavir Jayanti 2025 Special: Why He’s Still Remembered After 2600 Years?

Celebrate Mahavir Jayanti 2025 by learning about the great life of Lord Mahavir and why his teachings still help people even today.

Every year, millions of people across the world celebrate Mahavir Jayanti, the birthday of Lord Mahavir, who was the 24th and last Tirthankara (spiritual teacher) in Jainism. Mahavir Jayanti is celebrated on the 13th day of the Chaitra month in the Hindu calendar. This is why the date changes every year. But it usually comes between March and April in the English calendar. In 2025, Mahavir Jayanti will be on April 10, which is a Thursday.

This Mahavir Jayanti 2025 marks the 2623rd birth anniversary of Lord Mahavir. His messages of non-violence, truth, and simple living have inspired not only people who follow Jainism but also many others around the world.

Mahavir Jayanti 2025: The Birth of a Legend

Lord Mahavir was born in 599 BC in a place called Kundagram. This place is now in Bihar, India. He was born into a royal family. His father was King Siddhartha. His mother was Queen Trishala. They named him Vardhamana. The name means "increasing." People believed the kingdom became rich and happy when he was born.

Vardhamana was a kind and wise child. He loved to think about deep things. He lived in a big palace with lots of comfort. But he always felt there was more to life. When he turned 30, he gave up his royal life. He left all his wealth behind. He went to find the truth and understand the soul.

Lord Mahavir’s Path to Enlightenment

For 12 years, Mahavir lived a simple and hard life. He prayed in forests, did not eat for many days, and stayed quiet. He followed strict rules and left all his comforts. Because of this, he got special knowledge called Kevala Jnana, which means highest wisdom.

After getting this special knowledge, he was called Lord Mahavir. For the next 30 years, he taught people five important rules of Jainism. These are: Ahimsa (do not hurt anyone), Satya (always speak the truth), Asteya (do not steal), Brahmacharya (control your desires), and Aparigraha (do not be greedy).

Why He Is Still Remembered?

Even after more than 2,500 years, Lord Mahavir’s teachings still help people. In today’s busy and stressful life, his ideas are very helpful. He said real happiness comes from peace in our heart, not from money or things. He also taught us to be kind and respect all living beings. This is the real way to be free and happy.

His life teaches us that kindness, self-control, and simple living can make us and our society better. Mahavir Jayanti 2025 is not just a festival. It is a chance to remember these important values and use them in our daily lives.
