Jain Gurus, or Tirthankaras, are revered spiritual teachers in Jainism who have achieved liberation (moksha) and guide others on the path of non-violence (ahimsa), truth (satya), and asceticism. Jainism recognizes 24 Tirthankaras, with Lord Mahavira being the last and most well-known. These enlightened beings are not worshipped as gods but are honored for their teachings and example in helping followers attain spiritual purity and liberation from the cycle of birth and death. The teachings of Jain Gurus emphasize strict ethical conduct, meditation, and self-discipline to overcome desires and attachments.
