| 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. |
