According to Jains Jainism is an eternal religion, it has no origin. However, for this time frame (kaal) Lord Adinath is accounted as the first Tirthankar of Jains, he who practiced Jainism, for the first time (in present time frame), in the form which is followed till today during the very beginning of tritiya kaal or almost 50,000 years ago.
Presently, historians do believe that Jainism originated almost 2000 years ago and was propagated by 23rd tirthankar Parshwnath, but no exact date is given about its origin. Mahavira, the last Jain Tirthankar was born in 6 A.D. and this is also accepted by some people as start date of Jainism. But the research continues in this field to find at least an approximate start date of Jainism and to prove Jain claims of Jainism being an eternal religion.
