In Jainism, the festival of ‘Shrut Panchami’ (Gyan Panchami) is celebrated on the fifth day of Shukla Paksha of Jyestha month. On this day the Darshan of Lord Mahavira was presented in the form of a written text for the first time.
Lord Mahavir was born 599 years before Christ in Kundalpur of Vaishali Republic to Kshatriya king Siddhartha and Queen Trishala of the Ikshvaku dynasty in Chaitra Shukla Teras. This Vardhamana later became Mahavir Swami, the last Tirthankara of this period. According to Jain texts, he was born 278 years after the 23rd Tirthankara Parshvanatha attained Nirvana (salvation).
Navami of Shukla Paksha of Chaitra month is dedicated to Shri Ram. Shri Ram was born on this day. This is the reason why this day is celebrated with great enthusiasm all over India as the birth anniversary of Shri Ram. The Ramayana has been enshrined in the minds of Indians for centuries. And even today its spirit is enshrined in their hearts. In India, words like Ram Ram, Jai Siyaram are used to greet a person. These are the basis of Indian culture. Both Rama and Krishna are incarnations of Vishnu, so they are one and the same.
