Mahavideh kshetra

According to jain scriptures/geography there are fifteen different kinds of worlds in this universe. It inclues five Bharat kshetra(earths), five Airavat Kshetra and five Mahavideh kshetra where human life is found.

Mahavideh kshetra is completely separate from this galaxy. It is in the northeast direction. All the kshetras are separate. It is not possible to go there. It is compeletly separate from our Bharat kshetra. Tirthankaras continue to be born in Mahavideh Kshetra, whereas here, in our Bharat kshetra, tirthankaras are born only during a certain period of the time cycle. During certain time periods, there are no tirthankaras here. But at the moment, Simandhar Swami is present for us. He is going to live for a very long time. The atmosphere between the different worlds is such that it is not possible for one to go from one world to another. There are fifteen worlds where human beings can take birth and live. Ours is one of them.
