FAQ:
Q: What is Palitana?
A: Palitana is the largest temple city in India. It is one of the most sacred mountain pilgrimage tirths for the Jains. It is known as the eternal tirth or Shatrunjaya (Vanquisher of enemies, bad karma). It was here that lakhs of souls embraced Samadhi-death and reached salvation. Of the 24 tirthankar, 23 enhanced the glory of this pilgrimage by blessing it with their touch.
Lord Rishabhdev delivered his first sermon here and subsequently visited this pilgrimage 99 times. Even today, thousands of devotees visit this tirth 99 times, which is called ‘Navanu Yatra’. Of the Pandavas Yudhisthir, Bheem and Arjun reached salvation on Shatrunjaya. For reaching the top of the mountain one has to ascend nearly 3800 steps. On it, there are 180 large temples and 872 small shrines and over 7000 images of Jinas.
The Palitana major temples are grouped in enclosures called Tuks. The Mulnayak is nearly 7 feet high, white colored and brightly shining idol of Adinath Bhagwan in padmasana posture.
Q: What is Chaa Gau (6 Gau) Yatra?
A: Chhah Gau Yatra is a journey of about 16 kms in pilgrim town Palitana in the Bhavnagar district. It is mainly a kind of penance that helps a devout set off the evil results of past deeds and makes his journey to Nirvana or salvation faster and shorter say Jain saints and scriptures. Over the year the Chhah Gau Yatra is becoming more popular and in 2011 year on a single day Palitana had more than 2.5 lakh Jain pilgrims on the auspicious day, 2 days before Holi festival.
Chhah Gau Yatra starts from Jap Taleti on the foothills of Shatrunjaya and ends on the other side at a place known as Siddhavad. The name Siddhavad is after a Banyan tree here and it is said thousands of jains have achieved the final stage of life-death cycle, Nirvana or salvation and become free from the bondage of Karma.
The Chhah Gau Yatra covers all jain temples in Palitana. Siddhavad is near Adipur, known as the birth place Lord Adinath the first Thirthankar. It is believed that every Jain should visit Palitana at least once in his lifetime to get “Bhavya” status (fit to attain nirvan or salvation). This year, the auspicious day of Chhah Gau Yatra begins on March 6. -------------------------Jai Adinathji!!!! Jai Rishabdev!!!!! Jai Kesariyaji!!!! |

Simandhar Swami is a living Tirthankar who is said to be arihant, currently present and accessible, in another world within our universe. Tirthankara Simandhar Swami resides on Mahavideh Kshetra, another world within our extended universe (see Jain cosmology).
On Mahavideh Kshetra, Sat Yuga, a spiritually elevated time-cycle exists continuously. There, living Tirthankaras perpetually incarnate. At present, 20 Tirthankaras reside there, Simandhar Swami being one among them.
Worship of Simandhar Swami is said to be particularly beneficial because, of the 20 living Tirthankaras on Mahavideh Kshetra, he resides in closest proximity to our world, Bharat Kshetra. Also, due to a binding-intent from a previous birth, he carries a karmic obligation to serve the spiritual liberation of Bharat Kshetra’s jiva, living beings. Simply knowing of Simandhar Swami’s existence allows anyone to receive his grace.
Simandhar Swami and the other 19 Tirthankaras living on Mahavideh Kshetra will attain moksha, final liberation after completing their ayushya karma, life-span karma. There are numerous references to Simandhar Swamiin Jain scriptures.Sahil bhai Diksha Program Details (In India): |

----------------------------------------- About Sahil Shah ---------------------------------------------------------- 31 years of age, Sahil Bhai is an Electronics Engineer with a Master’s degree in Engineering from USC (University of Southern California, USA). He worked at the NVidia Corporation in Santa Clara, CA for 7 years after completing his Master’s degree. Born and brought up in Ahmedabad, India, Sahil Bhai travelled to USA to pursue higher education and the quintessential American dream. He was more than successful in his pursuit, but little did he know that the cosmic orders had other plans for him. ----------------------------------------- Message from Parents ----------------------------------------------------------Renouncing the Worldly life and materialistic possessions, Sahil Bhai will walk the path of his calling and seek his purest self through Sanyam Marg, a path that has seen the foot prints of infinite Tirthankars. With the blessings of his Guru Param Pujya Hemvallabhvijayji M.S. (pra shishya of panyas pravar Shri Chandrashekhar M.S.) Sahil Bhai will move closer to the ultimate goal of human life and seek oneness with the supreme soul. It was with the grace of Adinath dada at the Milpitas Temple that an inner voice beckoned him to choose the life of real happiness, the life of renunciation. We will remain indebted to the Jain Center of Northern California, the Swadhyay group of JCNC, the numerous scholars, Veer Sainiks and revered Shravaks/Shravikas of JCNC who were instrumental in making this possible and helped sow the seeds of Vairagya/ detachment in Sahil Bhai.
