They are: Chyavana Kalyanak - This is the event when the Tirthankar's soul departs from its last life, and is conceived in the mother's womb. Janma Kalyanak - This is the event when the Tirthankar's soul is born. Diksha Kalyanak - This is the event when the Tirthankar's soul gives up all his/her worldly possessions and becomes a monk. Kevaljnana Kalyanak - This is event when Tirthankar's soul destroys the four Ghati karmas completely and attains the Kevaljnana (absolute knowledge). Celestial angels set Samavsaran for Tirthankars from where he delivers the first sermon. This is the most important event for the entire Jain order as the Tirthankar reinstates Jain Sangh and preaches the Jain path of purification and liberation Nirvana Kalyanak - This event is when a Tirthankar's soul is liberated from this worldly physical existence forever and becomes a Siddha.
