Mahavira, also known as Vardhamana, was the twenty-fourth Jain Tirthankara (Enlightened Jain Master) who revived and reorganized Jainism. He expounded the spiritual, philosophical and ethical teachings of the previous Tirthankaras from the remote pre-Vedic era. He was the spiritual successor of the 23rd Tirthankara Parshvanatha.
He abandoned all worldly possessions at the age of 30 and left home in pursuit of spiritual awakening, becoming an ascetic. Mahavira practiced intense meditation and severe austerities for 12 years, after which he is believed to have attained Kevala Jnana (Omniscience).
After attaining Kevala Jnana, Mahavira taught that observance of the vows of ahimsa (non-violence), satya (truth), asteya (non-stealing), brahmacharya (chastity), and aparigraha (non-attachment) is necessary for spiritual liberation. He taught the principles of Anekantavada (many-sided reality): syadvada and nayavada. Mahavira's teachings were compiled by Indrabhuti Gautama (his chief disciple) as the Jain Agamas.
