Must be my 4th or 5th trip this year to Samanar malai, Keelakuyilkudi at #Madurai. Apart from the famous Meenakshi temple & the Palace, I try to take our guests to see the antiquity of #Jainism in #Tamilnadu. Here is the largest rock-cut Tirthankar idol of TN at Chettipoddavu

A short climb uphill leads you to this! An abode of the Jain monks once upon a time 1000s yrs back! We can see Tirthankar Adinath with Brahmi & Sundari, Tirthankar Parshwanath, Mahavir swami etc. Inscriptions in Brahmi & Vattulettu (old Tamil) are also seen

A place so serene, best time to visit is during sunrise or sunset 🌅

Dear BJP/Bhakts/Sanatanis

#SaveGirnar issue is REAL. Dont discount & discard it just coz @yadavakhilesh has tweeted on it. It's not over. #Jain Temples at 3rd-5th Tonk are usurped. Our Monks & Sevaks face Life threats & attacks!

All Parties - Keep us out of ur Dirty Politics! Image

#Jain Agams describe 11 Ganadhars (chief disciples) of Tirthankar #Mahavir swami

Indrabhuti
Agnibhuti
Vayubhuti
Vyakta
Sudharma
Mandit
Mauryaputta
Akampit
Achalbhrata
Metarya
Prabhas

All were Brahmins & took monk initiation under Lord Mahavir & followed Jain dharma

#Thread 👇🏼 Image
All 11 were profound scholars of philosophy. All had their own secular beliefs regarding the soul, the divine, heaven, hell, salvation, sin, virtue etc. Hence before taking initiation they solved their doubts with Lord Mahavir & on being satisfied took initiation from him
(2) Image
11 Ganadhars & their Doubts:

1) Indrabhuti: Existence of Soul?
2) Agnibhuti: On Karma?
3) Vayubhuti: The body is Jiva or different from Jiva?
4) Vyakta: Five material elements are real or unreal?
5) Sudharmā: If Jiva will be of the same kind or different in next birth?

#Jainism #JainDharma

'Shree Vardhaman Shakrastav Stotra' is a collection of 273 Adjectives that emerged spontaneously from the heart of Shakrendra (Indra) Maharaja when he comes to know of Tirthankar's birth.

Sharing some interesting Adjectives in this #Thread 👇🏼 Image
This stotra was virtually gifted by Shakrendra to Acharya Siddhasen Divakar Surishwarji in the 5th century CE for benefit of mankind. It was lost in the passage of time & rediscovered by Shri Chinubhai Ratilal Doshi from the Ancient Gyan Bhandar in Kavi #Jain Tirth, #Gujarat

3. The word SHAKRASTAV means 'Shakra' (Shakrendra, ruler of 64 Indras of Heaven)+'Stav' (Stavan/hymns) in praise of Lord. The 273 Adjectives are divided into 11 paragraphs known as ‘Alavas’
