Mahavir Janma Jayanti

2612 years ago, the last Tirthankar of our current cycle, Mahavir Bhagwan, was born. His teachings have been instrumental in propagating the knowledge of Jainism in our time and forthcoming times to come. This year, Mahavir Jayanti falls on Tuesday 23rd April. This day also holds special relevance for us as it was also on this day in 1934 that Pujya Gurudev’s parivartan took place. The programme for the day will be as follows:
