FIVE AUSPICIOUS OCCASIONS WITH THE NAMES, DAYS, PLACES, STATES ETC

Note - Jain scriptures have considered five occasions in the lives Tirthankaras (Saviours) as outstanding and named them as the three worlds. The Tirthane occasions including the arrival, the birth, the initiation etc. are meant for the good of all being in is the three worlds. The Tirthankaras look upon the maximum good of others as their own good, unlike ordinary human beings. This is the peculiar characteristic of those who have transcended ordinary human capacity.

The years mentioned here are counted from the year 1970 A.D. at the time of preparing this album. The exact number of days are not taken into consideration.

During the four auspicious occasions Le. except the first one, of every Tirthankara there is extraordinary light for about six hours in all the three worlds and to celebrate these occasions Indra and other gods descend to the human world.
