Suparshvanath 7TH Tirthankar<br />
Suparshvanath in his earlier incarnation was King Nandisen of Kshetrapuri. He was highly spiritually<br />
enlightened and due to his rigorous penances and disciplines he was reborn as a Tirthankar. His soul<br />
entered the womb of Queen Prithvi Devi, wife of king Pratishthasen of Varanasi. It is said that the Kingdom<br />
was in danger of being attacked by neighbouring kingdoms but when the child was in the womb suddenly the<br />
attitude of the Kings changed and everyone wished to have friendly relations with King Nandisen. The King<br />
was very happy and realised that it was the power of divinity in the unborn child that spread good vibrations<br />
everywhere resulting in peace and brotherhood in the kingdom which would soon spread to neighbouring<br />
Kingdoms.<br />
Soon the Queen gave birth to a son on the twelfth day of the Jyeshta Shukla paksh of Visakha month. There<br />
was love, peace and prosperity everywhere. Since the Kings or enemies (Parsh) who wanted to attack their<br />
kingdom now became friends (Suparsh), the child was named Suparshva. After some years as he grew up,<br />
they got him married. Later his father decided to hand over the Kingdom to him and went away to the forest<br />
to meditate and pursue spiritual practices. Suparshva then ruled the kingdom wisely for many years<br />
conducting the affairs of the state ably and looking after his subjects well.
