THE LOCUS Kumbharia Is a Small Sleepy Place Nestling in the Ridges
KUiyiBHARIA - THE LOCUS Kumbharia is a small sleepy place nestling in the ridges of Aravallis as they terminate towards the south. Apart from the natural beauty that its location endows upon it, the Jaina shrines located there make it attractive and important. Culturally too the region is significant. This is the region where the two cultures Gujarati and Rajasthani meet and mingle. And Kumbharia, is in a manner of speaking, presided over by yet another trend-Jainism. It is this location, this openness to intermingling that makes the temples of Kumbharia interesting. There is a fourth dimension as well. The region comprising of Ambaji (Abu Road) and Kumbharia was known as Arasana in medieval times. This name is obviously derived from the huge marble hills in which it abounds. 'Aras' is the name by which marble is known in Gujarati. This stone w^is exported from here and almost every struc- ture of note here is built of marble-it being the locally available stone. Mythological literature offers a number of explanations regarding the origin of the name but most of them are far-fetched and there is no reason why the most logical derivation from geographical and geological peculiari- ties should be set aside. So it is a 'Land of marble' - Arasana. Fig. 1 Kumbharia, called Arasana as stated above, lies in the modem Banaskantha district of Gujarat. It is situated about 22 km. southeast of Abu Railway station on the Ajmer- Ahmedabad section of the Western Railway. From Abu Road this distance of 22 km. can be covered up by buses, taxis which ply' between Abu Road Ambaji and Ambaji Koteswar via Kumbharia temples. -

Chaturmas 2016 Begins
Ju ly , 201 6 Vol. No. 192 Ahimsa Times in World Over + 100000 The Only Jain E-Magazine Community Service for 14 Continuous Years Readership CHATURMAS 2016 BEGINS Chaturmas is a holy period of four months (July to October), beginning on Shayani Ekadashi the eleventh day of the first bright half, Shukla Paksha, of Ashadh (fourth month of the Hindu lunar calendar until Prabodhini Ekadashi, the eleventh day of the first bright half of Kartik (eighth month of the Hindu lunar calendar) in Hinduism, Buddhism and Jainism. Chaturmas is reserved for penance, austerities, fasting, bathing in holy rivers and religious observances for all. Devotees resolve to observe some form of vow, be it of silence or abstaining from a favourite food item, or having only a single meal in a day. In Jainism this practice is collectively known as Varshayog and is prescribed for Jain monasticism. Wandering monks such as mendicants and ascetics in Jainism, believed that during the rain season, countless bugs, insects and tiny creatures that cannot be seen in the naked eye would be produced massively. Therefore, these monks reduce the amount of harm they do to other creatures so they opt to stay in a village for the four months to incur minimal harm to other lives. These monks, who generally do not stay in one place for long, observe their annual 'Rains Retreat' during this period, by living in one place during the entire period amidst lay people, observing a vow of silence, meditation, fasting and other austerities, and also giving religious discourses to the local public. -

Finally, my dream came true and after six years of my effort and with the help of some Jain community members in India, finally I have put together this document. It took me this long because I had to struggle to get lots of information and talked to many scholars, Sadhus in India to get information, particularly about Dev Devies, particularly 16 Vidya Devies, as this information is not available in original Jain scriptures. Dev Devies came about seventh century in the era of Sri Yasovijay Maharaj Saheb. He was the big sadhak of Sri Saraswati Devi. With the help of her sadhana, he convinced many Brahamins about Jain religion and philosophy. I would like to thank Dr. -
A Treatise on Jainism by - Shri Jayatilal S
JAIN PART2 Page 1 of 123 A Treatise On Jainism By - Shri Jayatilal S. Sanghvi (Title page, Forward, Preface, and Contents are mistakenly not computerized. It will be added later on.) CHAPTER I THE JAIN RELIGION The religion which enjoins adoration and worship of Jinas or the religion which is propounded by Jinas is knows as the Jain religion. Jina means one who has conquered the internal enemies and impurities of the soul like attachment (raga) and hatred (dwesha). He is known as Parmatma (the great soul), Sarvajna (omniscient), and Savadarshee (omnipotent). Such Jinas have been in existence from times immemorial. No beginning can be traced for them, and the Jain Religion has also no beginning. It is a very ancient religion. It teaches us to become Jina and those who follow it are called Jains. According to Jain conception the period of time consists of two cycles, ascending (utsarpinee) and descending (avasarpini). In each of these two cycles, twenty-four Tirthankaras (Jinas) came into existence. They are called Tirthankaras because they are to become the propounders of the sacred order of religion. The last Tirthankar was Lord Mahavir. Some say that Lord Mahavir was the founder of Jainism, but this is incorrect. Twenty-three Tirthankaras existed before Lord Mahavir flourished. In their times Jainism also flourished and before that also Jainism existed. By their extraordinary perception and knowledge, Tirthankaras who come from time to time, bring the fundamental principles into light again. They preach them, propound them, and also spread them. The souls of Tirthankaras, from the very moment of their births, are gifted with superb knowledge and are very highly meritorious. -
Chaplaincy Services Holy Days, Celebrations and Observances of April 2020
Chaplaincy Services Holy Days, Celebrations and Observances of April 2020 April 6 Mahavir Jayanti Jain Mahavir Jayanti is celebrated by followers of Jainism to honor the birth and life of Lord Mahavira, an important religious figure to Jains. Lord Mahavira was born into a noble family in Bihar, India during the 4th century BCE. During his life, Lord Mahavira was known as Vardhamana. In many ways, Vardhamana is similar to Buddhism’s Siddartha Gautama. Like Siddartha, Vardhamana left his comfortable home to find truth in the world after being sheltered from the outside world. After mingling with people from various cultures and backgrounds, Vardhamana learned much about the world and the sources of suffering. Eventually, Varhamana decided to focus his efforts on fasting and meditation. Through this process, Varhamana found enlightenment. He discovered that humans must eliminate greed and their connection to worldly possessions to end their limitless pursuit of desires. With his knowledge, Varhamana journeyed in India and other areas of Asia to spread Jainism. During this time, Varhamana’s kingdom experienced a period of extreme prosperity. Jains participate in many activities that allow them to bond with their family members and show respect for Lord Mahavira. Procession: One of the most popular activities for Mahavir Jayanti is the procession an idol of Mahavira. This activity involves Jain monks carrying a statue of Mahavira throughout the streets on a chariot. During this parade, communities gather to recite special rhyming prayers, or bhajans, that honor Mahavira Statue Washing: People often wash statues of Mahavira with water and fragrant oils. This symbolizes the purity of Mahavira. -
Sammed Shikharji
Sammed Shikharji Twenty Tirthankaras of the preset group of twenty- four Tirthnkaras and a number of Tirthankaras of the past groups of twenty- four Tirthankaras, attained salvation on this holy land. Palganj was the original foot of Samet Shikhar and the present- day Madhuvan is at a distance of 20 kilometers from Palganj. Madhuvan is the present-day foot of the hill. Since it was the land of penance and of nirvana of many Tirthankaras and Sadhus, every particle of this land is great, holy, and adorable. A touch of this land purifies the human birth. A pilgrimage to this sacred place removes trouble adds to religious punya and destroys bad karma of devotees. Sheth Khushaldas often came on a pilgrimage to this place and the idols had become very old. It was difficult to identify the places of nirvana of different Tirthankaras. Therefore, according to instructions of Devavijayagani, he practiced the penance of a three-day fast (attham) and muttered prayers (jaap) to Padmavatidevi. He saw a dream. Accordingly, he saw on the hill an auspicious figure of Swastika with particular numbers. The places of nirvana of Tirthnkaras were fixed according to the numbers. With blessings of the goddess, Khushaldas built small temples of foot idols of these twenty Tirthankaras, a large temple named jalmandir, the Kothi dharmashala at the Madhuvan foot of the hill, the temple of Bhomiyadev and the seven temples of shamaliyaji Parshvanath and others. He thus performed immortal acts of religious worship. (1) The first tunk of Gautam Swami: The first tunk is of Gautam Swami, the treasure of many achievements.
