| About Mathura Chaurasi :
|
|
Amid the Bharat and Airavat Kshtera of Madhyalok Utsarpini
and Avsarpini makes the timeline into different circles. The first kevali who
initiated the moksha parampara of the present yug in chaturtha kaal was
Anantvirya Bhagvan Bhaubali. Then 24 Tirthankars followed the salvation path and
attained Nirvana. Jambu swami became the Last Kevali of Chaturtha kaal who was
disciple of Gandhar Sudharmacharya to Mahavir. The only Vaishya Vanshiya
Jambukumar attained the ultimate nirvana at age of 84 in the lush green place of
uttar pradesh known as Mathura which at that time was surrounded by dense 84
forests. From the day it is known as Chaurasi (hindi of 84) and the pious land
became sacred to all of us.
