JAINISM-TOURIST PLACES AND THIRTHSTAN.

Friends, latest controversy involving Jain's holy and most auspicious "Thirth" Shree Samethshikarji needs to know this basic differences. Any place where any of "Panch Kalnayak" of Jain's 24 Thirthankaras have taken place is "Thirth".At "Thirth" one can find existence of all four pillars of Jainism. They are 4- Sadhuji,Sadhviji, Shrawaks and lastly Shrawikaji. As per Jainism beliefs holy salvation land in India are as follow. Rishabhdevji got it at Ashtapada or Kailash mountain Parvat (Palitana, Vasupujyaji- Champanagari Neminathji- Girnarji, Mahaveerswamiji- Pawapuri. All remaining 20 Thirthankars got salvation from Shree  Sammedshikharji presently at Chattisgarha state Where as any tourist place is marked by factors natural beauty, any famous architecture or locations having historical memories or

any manmade wonders and holy places recognized by other Dharmas or religions. Such tourist places can have  various comfort places like five stars and other luxurious hotels, bars, dens ,non- vegetarian food centers or gambling dens unless objected. At Jain Thirths places one will have only Jain or vegetarian foods shops and Dharmashalas. In short no odd activities against Jain teachings can be accepted at such holy places. Sanity of these places must be preserved at all times. In

practice what happens. Let us think. All vested interest in power buy land at such places with intentions to sell at premium for commercial acts when the place is notified as tourist places. No other reason can be thought for it to initiate such plan after 75 years of independence. This whole episode depicted a unity picture by all branches In all the

states of India various peaceful protest were undertaken voluntarily.

The peace loving Jain community took silent protest processions in all corners of India.  Two noble saints opposed it at cost of own life by taking "Santhara" till the status qua being maintains ordered issue.

At last power bowed down before non violence and justice and the changes taken back. It was a victory of peaceful "Satyagraha" done by masses. Jain community as a whole may be in very minority but

it's unity could prevent the whims of authorities. We must keep our eyes open and be vigilant. Greedy people have eye on prosperity and are envy of respect and intelligence our society commands. We must not trust politicians as very few can come to rescue in a emergency when mostly needed. We must add to our connections and sources. A wide communication need to be started in normal circumstances with and among all Jains offering priority and concessional services and goods to fellow brothers and sisters. It's a call of present time's era.

Hopefully we all awake to call given by today's existing power force.

A Thirth is a place where "Atma" can connect with divine power of "Parmatma".Any such a holy place needs to preserve it's sanity for ever. Hopefully the rulers may realize this basic truth and act wisely,

Bhagwan Mahaveer Swami has formed Thirth in south Bharatkhetra  around 2650+ years ago and  will last in total 21000 years. Bhagwan has warned for such obstacles as his Moksha time was marked by the presence of "Bhasma Graha. Bhagwan also said not to worry in spite of obstacles his Thith will complete the term smoothly. Jai Ho---!!!.
