(1/4) On this day, 125 years ago, Shri Atmaramji Maharaj (Acharya Vijayanandsuri) attained Kaldharma at Gujranwala Pakistan. He was one of the first Jain monks in modern times to receive the title of Acharya.

(2/4) He was originally initiated as a Sthanakvasi monk. On
realising the authenticity of idol worship as per the Jain scriptures, he abandoned his privileged
position as a Sthanakvasi monk without any hesitation and joined the Murtipujak tradition.
(3/4) He travelled extensively in Gujarat, Rajasthan & Punjab; He organised and reformed Jain community, ascetic orders and literature. He wrote several books in Hindi and was invited to the first World Parliament of Religions in 1893 which was attended by Virchand Gandhi later.

Today, on the occasion of Janma Kalyanak of Lord Neminath, I am extremely saddened to witness that no one remembers the land where the Lord was born ~ Shri Shouripuri Tirth.

#jain #jainism #neminath #research
Situated near Agra in UP, this tirth is mentioned in various Agams like Samavayang Sutra, Uttaradhyayan Sutra, Avashyak Niryukti, Kalpasutra etc. Shri Bhagvati Sutra mentions that even Lord Mahavir visited this place where he gave a sermon about the past life of a fisherman.
Even the famous traveler Megasthenes visited this place. The original mulnayak parmatma of this tirth was installed by Akbar Pratibodhak Acharya Heervijaysurishwarji Maharaja. Many ancient Jain relics were excavated from this town by Sir Alexander Cunningham.
