| Lord Mahavir is the founder of the Jains, but he is not considered a God. Born more than 2,500 years ago, he is the 24th and last Tirhankara, which is a spiritual leader. After 12 years of meditation, Lord Mahavir had a spiritual realization and spent the next 30 years preaching in India. He also achieved Moksha or enlightenment, a concept found in Hinduism and Buddhism. |
