Among the 27 births of Lord Mahaveer, His third birth as Marichi stands out as one of the most crucial. Born as the grand-son of Bhagwan Adinath (first Tirthankar of the current time cycle), in this life He accumulated maximum Karmas.

Lack of Introspection, scarce courage to follow discipline and pride are vices we often struggle with. A trace of these weaknesses within Marichi caused his downfall, leading to numerous subsequent lives. Reflecting on how these traits affect us is indeed worth contemplating for every seeker!
During the Paryushan Parv 2022, Sri Guru introduced us to Veer Katha – a series of inspiring stories from Lord Mahaveer’s life journey towards the exalted state of Tirthankara.
Born as Vardhmana to King Siddhartha and Queen Trishala, the journey of Lord Mahavira to become one of the most revered spiritual entities in human history is full of invaluable learnings. According to Jain scriptures, He took 27 previous births before attaining enlightenment and becoming the 24th Tirthankara, to bring about a revolution in the world of religion and spirituality. The Veer Katha series by Sri Guru is an opportunity to take a closer look at the Lord’s illustrious journey toward liberation, to introspect upon the many flaws and shortcomings that kept Him from enlightenment, and to aspire for the many virtues depicted throughout His births.
