SINHA - The Supreme Court of India has constituted a bench on the two writ petitions to look into the raging controversy about the control over Shri Rishabh Dev temple near Udaipur in Rajasthan. The bench headed by the Chief Justice Shri K. G. Balakrishan had earlier issued notices to the State Government and others on the 14th may, 2007. The newly constituted bench will now consider the public interest petitions, which have requested that the notifications issued on the 20th January, 07 by thel Assistant Commissioner, Devasthan Deprtment, Government of Rajasthan may be withdrawn, in which proposals were invited from the interested persons to form a management committee for the control of Rishabh Dev temple. As is well known, the issue is about the controversy, whether it is a jain temple or Hindu temple. The Raj. High Court had earlier given a decision that it is a Jain temple. After considering the whole matter, the Supreme Court had also agreed that it was a Jain temple. The apex court had later asked the Devasthan Department, State Government and the concerned parties as to why the matter be not reconsidered and why a district Judge be not appointed to enquire into the whole matter once again. It is indeed saddening to see that a simple issue is lingering in courts and government offices for such a long time and no firm decision is being taken by the apex court, closing the issue once for all.

It reconciles Jainism with current issues and the emerging "New Spirituality", which is expressing itself in the form of the widespread attempts to reassert human rights, struggle for global peace, recognition of the interdependence of human and the environment, social justice, and achieving personal fulfillment. This study will spark philosophical enquiry and bring focus on the affairs of our endangered world.

ANUTTARA YOGI: TIRTHANKARA MAHAVIRA, Novelised Biography of Lord Mahavira, By Virendrakumar Jain Hindi, Set of 4 books,2009 220 x 140 mm 1406 pages, Deluxe Hardcover Edition Rs. 1200. This is a very unconventional biography. It is an attempt to present Lord Mahavira as the person he was, before attaining liberation. The work is a literary triumph. Ample proof of the power of the pen to trans-create reality through the millennia. Tirthankara Bhagavan Mahavira, the 24th Jina, is worshipped by millions of Jains the world over. He was born in 599 BCE and died in 527 BCE. This novel attempts to understand Mahavira the man. It tries to unravel the motivations and ideology of the man who became God. For the first time, this novel traces Mahavira's steps, as he grew from an infant to a child, from a child to an adult. Then a philosopher, an ascetic and an immortal yogi who transcended the cycle of rebirths and attained the ultimate beatific state of Siddhahood, pure soul unencumbered by temporal bondage. Hence, Mahavira's personality is traced completely, which was hitherto available only in Puranic form in Jain literature. This novel is so well written, it seems to encapsulate the elements of a mahakavya in prose form. It helps the author's cause that he is a fine novelist, critically acclaimed as well as popular. He has successfully married sound historical research with a sweeping narrative that remains credible and captivates the reader. It goes without saying, that the present work is a classic, recommended reading for all those who love literature.

READER'S MAIL Why we Jains are not giving enough importance to jain community projects, Jain websites, Jain schools, collage, hospitals etc. We have to bow down to Christians and other community for schools/collages/ hospital/marriage hall etc. While we spend on muni maharaj. temple,abhisheks in crores. There is no new hostel, sanatorium, facilities for patients in mumbai which has many millionaires Jains. No one seems to be bothered about community. Is anywhere in Jain principals it said that you will get Moksha if u build more temple or spend on sadhus? No Dig. Jain magazines / newspaper/ temples/ organisation seem to be bothered to cover the free website (www.digambarjains.com) made for encouraging marriages with in Dig. jain community of Jains as otherwise many marriages are happening out of the community/ religion. Will the mix parents children do the same following of Dig.jain munis? Children going to missionaries? So what is important building more pro community projects or showmanship in the name of religion.Our Tirthankars gave up even clothes for mankind but we are spending on rituals instead of working for mankind,peace,humanity,aushdh daan, vidyadan,vegetarianism etc. Now a days Europeans are more working for vegetarianism but jains are turning non veg., non sattvik, and drinking alcohol. But Jain sadhus are interested in another yatra in their own name instead on reforms in community and world.

I had already conveyed this message to my family and friends and stressed on the fact that Jain history is being destroyed systematically. My humble request to you is that, it would be great if you share some more evidences like findings by researchers, videos of discovery of ancient Jain temples, articles, etc, so that I can educate people on the same and keep them away from ignorance. I found that Mr. Ashok Jain and his team are on Tamilnadu Jain heritage Discovery Mission, from the ahimsa times magazine www.jainsamaj.org.

It is now understood that the advice has been received from the Advocate General, Law Department as well as from Additional Advocate General that santhara or sallekhana is a part of Jain philosophy and it can not be considered as a case of suicide. CANCER UPDATE FROM JOHNS HOPKINS: Forwarded By Mr. S. K. Bhandari, E-Mail: Satyesh.Bhandari@ril.com AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY AND ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY. 1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size. 2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime. further Please Click Here http://jainsamaj.org/magazines/february-2009.htm ..To Read THIRTY BRANDS OF OIL AND GHEE FOUND UNSUITABLE FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION Shri Chandra Bhushan, Assistant Director, Centre for Science and Environment (C.S.E.) has announced at a press conference that 30 brands of ghee and edible oils currently available in the market were found after elaborate testing to be unsuitable for eating from the point of health. The samples contained unduly large content of fatty acid and transfat content, which are harmful for human consumption. The claims made by the companies manufacturing these brands about the values of the constituents mentioned on their labels and also in their advertisements were far from the actual values observed on testing. It is well-known that transfatty acid presence can enhance the chances of heart ailments because these tend to decrease the good cholesterol and also increase the chances of women becoming barren. 8/11/2009

AHIMSA TIMES - FEBRUARY 2009 ISSUE - www.jainsamaj.org ANOTHER THEFT AT JAIN TEMPLE Astha Dhatu (Eight metal alloy) pratima of 1008 Shree Adinath Bhagvan was stolen from Jain Temple in village Khunadari (Kherwara Tehsil) in Udaipur district on 29 January 09. The temple is very ancient and the idol is very very old. From: Nathulal Jain, Kuwait, E-Mail: njain@kfas.org.kw Page 10 of 13 JAIN MARRIAGE BUREAU DUPES THOUSANDS IN INDORE Thousands of youth who had come from far off places to Indore in the hope of getting hitched are now making a beeline to the police station to get their complaint registered against a trust that had promised to get them married but failed to bring the promised number of potential brides. The Trust had promised to get nearly 10,000 youth from various districts of Madhya Pradesh and neighbouring states married in a mass wedding Feb 14. The Trust collected for a registration fee of Rs.1,000, promised that each bachelor would be introduced to a suitable bride at the convention and would be married at a mass ceremony in the presence of a state minister and other political bigwigs. Trust had amassed more than Rs.5 million if one was to go by the number of complaints registered. The event was slated for Saturday, Valentine's day, and the prospective grooms from villages as far as in the neighbouring states of Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh had gathered at the venue. Several people from the districts near Indore such as Mandsaur, Shajapur, Khandwa, Dewas and Dhar were also present but when they found that there were just around 50 brides, they roughed up Trust office bearars. More than 10,000 families were invited to attend the ceremony which started with a dance and music programme by a local orchestra. However, the event turned ugly when the people who had gathered there saw that there were hardly 50 to 60 prospective brides present at the venue. FAKE GHEE UNIT OF LALIT JAIN UNEARTHED IN KOTA Adulterated ghee is supplied and consumed on a large-scale in the entire Hadoti area of Kota division. This has been discovered recently when health officials conducted a raid at a house in Gulab Badi under Rampura police station and seized several bottles of spurious ghee. During the raid, police arrested one manufacturer and three minor servants who were involved in the business. According to sources, the officials of health department received a tip-off that contaminated desi ghee' was being manufactured at a house in Gulab Badi. The health officials conducted a raid with the help of police and seized 120 litres of vegetable ghee, 800 litres of oil, 140 litres of spurious ghee and a few bottles of deshi ghee essence, packing and mixing machines along with gas cylinders. They also found many empty cartons of Indana, milk food, Madhur and Anand companies as well. Lalit Jain, the arrested manufacturer, told police that earlier he was doing the business of supplying tea leaves in which he suffered heavy losses. Then he started the ghee business. He was selling two brands of edible and non-edible ghee. The non-edible ghee was supposed to be used in puja (prayer) and yagna by people. His main customers were from the villages of Kota, Bundi, Baran and Jhalawar districts and towns like Mangrol, Khatoli, Itawa, Atru, Chhabra, Baran, Ramganj mandi etc. He used to give more discount to buyers than what original manufacturers usually give. THEFT AT CALCUTTA JAIN MANDIR Theft of jain idols from Neminath Jain Mandir, Hanspukar, first lane, Bara Bazar is causing lot of resentment amongst Kolkata Jain Community. Jains organized a protest march against the inaction of Police in nabbing the culprits Jain which was very well attended.
