C06th Jain Jainism Meditating Meditation Jainist

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable relief depicting Tirthankara Mahavira, the revered spiritual figure who lived from 599 to 527 BC. The artwork originates from Danavulapadu and was created by the Indian School in the 14th century. Currently housed in the Government Museum and National Art Gallery in Madras, India, this stone sculpture beautifully captures Mahavira's profound meditation. Mahavira is depicted seated in a serene meditative posture known as vajraparyanka, with his hands placed in dhyana mudra – a gesture of deep contemplation. As the last and 24th tirthankara (a human who achieved enlightenment), he holds immense significance within Jainism. Tirthankaras are believed to act as fords across the river of human suffering, guiding individuals towards liberation. Surrounded by chavri bearois, symbolizing honor and respect, Mahavira exudes an aura of tranquility that emanates from his enlightened state. This image serves as a powerful reminder of the prince-turned-spiritual-leader's unwavering dedication to seeking truth and attaining spiritual awakening. The fine details captured in this photograph allow us to appreciate not only the artistry but also the profound spirituality embedded within this ancient masterpiece. It invites viewers into a world where inner peace can be found through introspection and meditation – timeless teachings that continue to inspire seekers on their own paths towards enlightenment.
