Pandit Todarmal was eminent Jain scholar of 18 century in Jaipur. He was spiritual thinker and author. His contemplation is wonderful harmony of logic and self realization. In the true tradition of ancient Jain Saints , Pandit ji did not write about his life history. #Thread

Panditji received basic education in the spiritual Tera Panthi Style of Jaipur. He was a great intellectual having sharpness of understanding and a studious nature. He was well- versed in Prakrit, Sanskrit, Hindi and Kannad languages.
Reason why missionaries are targeting jains a micro minority community.
They are suffering from missionaries & vote bank politics
These are BPL jain families in karnataka they are deprived from all sort of minority benefits,
cuz those are reserved for only one community #Thread
Today in india minority means only one particular community .
Government role is a royal ignorance towards other minorities
Minority ministry comes up with many schemes which helps poor people from minority community.
Lets see how evenly it is distributed among all beneficiaries
Details of scheme's which were run in karnataka state where many poor and BPL jain family resides.
Thousands of beneficiaries and Crores of money is spent but nothing reaches to BPL jain families.
And Yes there many jains who can't afford 2 times meal .
Shrimad Rajchandraji - Param Krupalu Dev. A revolutionary jain poet from gujrat have changed lives of many including MK Gandhi.
This thread is about his phenomenal ability to perform Avdhan
And how he quit doing it for the sake of moksh marg
He was a true Bharat ratna. #Thread
whenever He used to see something good, He immediately imbibed it and within no time surpassed it. An ideal example of this is His ability to perform avdhans. An avdhan is the ability to concurrently be attentive to number of activities and objects @JainMaggii@the_lost_girl92
Once Param Krupalu Dev, at the age of 16, was invited to witness a demonstration of eight avdhans by Shastri Shankarlal Maheshwar Bhatt in Morbi. As per the available information, during those times, only 2 people in the whole of India were able to exhibit such skill! #JainGem
The Christian missionaries threatened to convert Jain King Kumud and all 22,000 Jains of Goa to convert to Christianity within 6 months, abandon Jainism and accept Christianity or face death
but King Kumud and Jains were ready to die and refused conversion.
An unknown historical fact is the heartbreaking incident that occurred 500 years ago. Jain King Kumud was ruling Goa. Portuguese captured Goa by forcibly removing him.
The Catholic clergy along with the Portuguese army attacked in large numbers to convert innocent people. The clergy captured the entire city of Goa, threatening and forcing people to convert. Those who opposed conversion and refused to convert, were brutally killed.

The year was 1555. Portuguese colonial power was at its peak in the 1500’s. They destroyed Zamorins of Calicut. Defeated the Sultan of Bijapur.
Took away Daman from the Sultan of Gujarat, Established a colony in Mylapore, Captured Bombay and made Goa as their headquarters. And while they were at it, pretty much unchallenged, they even ruined the ancient Kapaleeswarar Temple to build a Church over it.@truejainology
Their next target, the super profitable port of Mangalore.
Their only bad luck, just 14 kilometers south of Mangalore was the small settlement of Ullal - ruled then by a feisty 30 year old woman - *RANI ABBAKKA CHOWTA*
Initially, they took her lightly and sent a few boats
