599 BC - 527 BC
Mahavira
Wardhamana Mahawira (sanskryt वर्धमान vardhamāna – "wzrastający", to jego imię własne; महावीर mahāvīra – "wielki bohater", to tytuł, pod jakim go czczą wyznawcy) – pierwszy zaświadczony historycznie przywódca dżinijski, uważany powszechnie za założyciela dźinizmu; według tradycji ostatni, dwudziesty czwarty z tirthankarów. Nazywa się go także przydomkiem Dżina (sanskr. jina – "zwycięzca"). W rzeczywistości jednak nie należy uważać Wardhamany za twórcę nowej religii, a co najwyżej reformatora, który włączył własne propozycje intelektualne w obręb doktryny jednej z grup należących do szerszego nurtu ascetycznego (śramana) przeciwstawiającego się ritualizmowi wedyjskiemu i związanego z archaicznymi wierzeniami ludności autochtonicznej.
