Question

on the day of diwali Lord ----- attained this moksha​

Answer 1

Answer:

On the day of Diwali Mahavira attained moksha.

Explanation:

• In Jainism, Diwali has a very profound meaning.
• It commemorates Mahavira's Nirvana (last release) or freedom as the twenty-fourth and final Jain Tirthankara of the current cosmic period.
• It is also held around the same time like Diwali, a Hindu festival.
• For the Jains, Diwali marks the end of the year and also commemorates the passing of their 24th Tirthankara Mahavira and his attainment of moksha.
• Mahavira gained Moksha (liberation) on this day in 527 BCE at Pawapuri, on Kartika Chaturdashi, according to Tilyapannatti of Yativrsabha.
• The 24th Tirthankara of this era, Mahavira, revitalised Jain dharma. On this day, according to legend, Mahavira's greatest student, Gandhara Gautam Swami, acquired omniscience, or absolute or complete knowledge (Kevala Jnana), making Diwali one of the most important Jain celebrations.
• At the dawn of the Amavasya, Mahavira attained nirvana (new moon).
• Many gods were gathered there, according to the Bambara scripture Kalpasutra, lighting the darkness.
• Without the gods' or moon's light, the following night was pitch black.

Hence, Mahavira attained his moksha on the day of Diwali.
