The famous epic #Ramayan is written by many authors, original believed to be written by Sage Valmiki. There are over 300 versions in India alone, apart from foreign versions. And there are differences in each. Lets have a look at what's in the #Jain Ramayan.
#Thread
Ramayan is composed by dozens of Jain authors from all over India not just in Sanskrit, Prakrit & Apabhramsha but also in several vernacular languages such as Kannada, Gujarati & Hindi. The fascinating feature of the #Jain versions of Ramayana is the treatment of Ravan.
(2)
Ravan was a very powerful Vidhyadhar (humans who possesed extraordinary powers) king. He was an Ardha Chakri, one who ruled the 3 khands of Bharat kshetra. His capital was at Lanka located on Triktuchal mountain on Rakshas island in Lavan ocean of Jambudweep.

Sri Ranganatha Temple in Srirangapatna, #Karnataka

It is a #Hindu temple. But how many of us know it's connection with #Jainism??

Records say that it was constructed extensively using material of 101 #Jain temples demolished nearby at Kalaswadi by a Vaishnavite Timmaya.
#Thread
An inscription in the temple reveals it was first consecrated in 984 CE by Tirumalaiah, a vassal of the Western Gangas. He founded 2 temples on the island - one of Ranganatha & a smaller one of Tirumala Deva enclosing them with a wall; & called the place Sri Rangapura/pattana
(2)
Ranganatha temple is protected by @ASIGoI. It is just 400 metres away from Tipu's Summer palace in Srirangapatnam. In the early 12th century, Hoysala King Vishnuvardhana (1108-1152 CE), granted the village of Srirangapatna to Ramanujacharya as an Agraharam (place of learning)

#ConvertedTemples

Pre-12th century Someshwara temple, Abalur, #Karnataka was a #Jain temple

Ambaluru was an important centre of #Jainism in ancient times. Its influence started waning frm 12th century when a proponent of Shaivism Ekantada Ramaiah stood up against Jains.
#Thread ImageImageImageImage
Legend has it that he cut off his own head during a religious dispute with the #Jains & was brought back to life by Lord Shiva himself. The incident is narrated by an inscription of 1200 CE found here.

On the right portion of the gateway is a sculpture showing Sankagavunda handing over a document to Ekantada Ramaiah and another sculpture depicting the breaking up of the Jina image & the consecration of the Shivalinga by the latter.

Many non-vegetarians ask what justifies the lives of Jains ? As eating grains, pulses and vegetables also cause violence. And even germs are killed every day by antibodies in their gut. рдЕрд╣рд┐рдВрд╕рд╛ preaches non-violence even to the smallest bacteria. Is this a violation of рдЕрд╣рд┐рдВрд╕рд╛ ?
This is certainly not a violation of the Principle of рдЕрд╣рд┐рдВрд╕рд╛ as preached in Jainism. The Principle of рдЕрд╣рд┐рдВрд╕рд╛ of Jainism is often misunderstood. Here are a few important points that need to be understood :
Certain types of рд╣рд┐рдВрд╕рд╛ are permissible in Jainism:

In Jainism, рд╣рд┐рдВрд╕рд╛ has been broadly classified in four categories:

1) рд╕рдВрдХрд▓реНрдкреА рд╣рд┐рдВрд╕рд╛ тАУ deliberately killing a living-being

2) рдЖрд░рдВрднрд┐ рд╣рд┐рдВрд╕рд╛ - рд╣рд┐рдВрд╕рд╛ resulting from day to day household work

Story of Kuldhar's daughter

#Jainism

(Thread)

(1/n)
In the city of Champapuri, lived a rich merchant named Kuldharand & his wife Kulnanda. They had 7 daughters. All daughters were married to rich merchants & were very happy. Kuldhar
& his wife Kulnanda gave birth to their 8th daughter, but they were not happy, at her birth. (2/n)
They did not perform a naming ceremony. The
8th girl was less fortunate. As she grew up, her father did not care to find her a husband. If someone brought this matter to his attention, he would only say that
she would be settled as soon as he found the right groom for her. (3/n)

What is the difference between Bhavya Jeev (рднрд╡реНрдп рдЬреАрд╡) and Abhavya Jeev (рдЕрднрд╡реНрдп рдЬреАрд╡) in Jainism?

#рднрд╡реА_рдЕрднрд╡реА

#Jain
Before explaining the difference between Bhavya and Abhavya Jeeva, it is pertinent to mention that there is a third category of jeeva too which is referred as Jaati Bhavya.(рдЬрд╛рддреА рднрд╡реНрдп)

Here is the explanation:
Bhavya Jeeva : Those jeevas that have the ability to attain moksha (рдореЛрдХреНрд╖)and will attain moksha sooner or later are called Bhavya Jeeva. Such Jeevas can attain knowledge of all the 14 poorvas(рдкреВрд░реНрд╡). They achieve Samyag-Darshan and ultimately end their cycle of birth and death.

The story of Bahubali of Dharmasthala, #Karnataka

This 57 ft idol is a wonder of the Modern world, created nearly 400 yrs after the last Bahubali at Venur. No one had any concrete idea about how such a massive statue would be sculpted, transported or erected.
#Thread #Jainism
However, Shri Rathnavarma Heggade made a bold decision to make it happen come what may & initiated the plan. Unfortunately he passed away before his vision was brought to life. His illustrious son Dr.Veerendra Heggade succeeded him at a tender age of 20 & continued work!
Sculptor's Salt Sacrifice for 6 Years:
Renjala Gopala Shenoy who was 64, completely sacrificed salt until the statue was completed! At Karkala, he found a perfect 100 ft tall stone to begin with & laborers, mostly migrants from Tamil Nadu worked for 6 long yrs to complete it!

Muni Shri Devsiddhavijayji Maharaj ~Born as Devraj in Davangere, Karnataka in a non Jain family, he was a non-vegetarian since birth. Today he completed 108 yatras of #Shatrunjay hill in 27 days while fasting - i.e. without food. His transformation story in thread #jainism #jain
One day, her Jain employer forgot some stuff at the derasar (Jain temple), & asked him to collect it for her. He went there & was awestruck at the glimpse of the lord. This was the first time Devraj had seen the glory of Tirthankar prabhu. While returning he saw the notice board.
The notice in Kannada mentioned that the sangh was organising a Maskshaman Tapasya (Fasting for 30 days straight) - but Devraj misinterpreted it as Mas-Bhakshan (consumption of meat). He enquired the same to her employer who made her understand the Jain way of life

What is PARYUSHAN?

It is the holiest 8-day festival in the annual Jain calendar followed by Shwetambar Jains. Similarly, Digambars follow Das Lakshana, a 10-day spiritual festival that starts when Paryushan ends, on the Samvatsari day.

#jainism #jain #paryushan #festival
This festival is important for Jains since it only comes once in a year. #Jain festivals are characterized by renunciation, austerities, study of the scriptures, repetition of holy hymns, meditation & expressing devotion for the Paramatma.
Not only underground vegetables but consuming of fresh vegetables & fruits is also prohibited during Paryushan. Everyday some or the other Tap is followed. In any tap, chauvihar is a must ie, No food or water after sunset until Navkarsi (48 minutes after sunrise) next day.

In Samvat 1633, Akbar's Commander Tursamkhan attacked Sirohi and got to know of the various Jain panchdhatu idols preserved in various jinalays. He knew that the Gold content in these idols was very high, so he captured 1050 panchdhatu idols from various nearby temples of Sirohi
Tursamkhan collected them all and carried them all to Fatehpur Sikri. In the meantime this news reached Karmachand Bacchawat of Bikaner who rushed to Fatehpur Sikri to prevent the idols from melting. Karmachand arrived at Akbar's court with various gifts which pleased the king

Doddappa temple, Adargunchi #Karnataka

Many #Jain temples in Karnataka were converted into Veerashaivite/Lingayat temples. Either the Jina idol was uprooted & Linga was placed or it was converted into a Veershaivite or it was taken off the Main shrine & placed at the entrance.
Built sometime between 10th & 11th century, the temple today is fronted by a stone sculpture of the bull Nandi and houses a massive black stone statue of a Jina, placed alongside a Shiva linga (phallus, the form in which Lingayats worship Shiva).
The entire temple was re-built during the Virashaiva takeover of the basadi. Instead of removing the idol, they converted it & retained it as a sign of domination and control, thereby sending a clear signal of VirashaivaтАЩs triumph over Jainism.
