Guest guest Posted February 29, 2004 Report Share Posted February 29, 2004 Dear Surya, Lord Mahavir is the 24th (and last) Tirthankara of the Jain religion....Thirthankaras are considered the Gods of the Jains, beings who achieved enlighenment through austerities. It is the birth of Lord Mahavir that is celebrated just before Hanuman Jayanti....it IS confusing, though, because of Hanuman's names. best, sadhvi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
