The Five Principles Of Mahavira
The one who has fostered faith is a valiant hero. Mahavira was called so because he gathered all his senses and surrendered them to God. His former name was not ‘Mahavira’.

He is named so because he achieved control over his senses with his willpower and with the power of Divine grace. He had no faith in the world, akin to Shankaracharya, who stated, “” (Brahma is the real reality, world is deceptive).
