Shantinath Bhagwan Story
자주 묻는 질문
Shantinath Bhagwan was the sixteenth Tirthankara of Jainism, widely known as the Lord of Peace. He was born in Hastinapur to King Vishwasen and Queen Achira. Uniquely, he held the triple status of Tirthankara, Chakravarti (a universal monarch), and Kamadeva (a being of supreme beauty). His life serves as a blueprint for finding inner stillness, representing a powerful contrast between absolute worldly power and the pursuit of absolute spiritual peace.
The name Shantinath literally translates to "Lord of Peace." According to historical sources, King Vishwasen chose this name because a terrible epidemic ravaging the kingdom of Hastinapur vanished the moment the child was conceived in Queen Achira's womb. This miraculous calm established his legacy as a figure of peace. His presence alone was said to end suffering, making his story a significant study for those seeking to overcome chaos and find tranquility.
Shantinath is distinguished by his triple status as a Tirthankara, a Chakravarti, and a Kamadeva. As a Chakravarti, he was a universal monarch with the entire world at his feet, possessing immense worldly authority. As a Kamadeva, he was recognized as a being of supreme beauty. Despite having total worldly power and physical perfection, he chose to pursue a spiritual path, eventually becoming the sixteenth Tirthankara to guide others toward enlightenment and inner peace.
