Shilalekh JAIN CENTER OF AMERICA, NEW YORK parasparoSAhI jIvAnAm Live and Let Live Jain Center of America (JCA) - New York was founded in 1966 and registered as nonprofit Religious Corporation in 1970 in the State of New York. JCA was one of the first Jain organizations established in North America to promote Jain principles and practice, and provide a sacred place for worship. In 1981, a residential building in Elmhurst, NY was purchased to serve as a temple for the Jain community. For the past 20 years, this place housed the Idols of Shri Mahavirswami and other Tirthankars and hosted many Jain scholars and celebrated various ceremonies of Jain religion. In 2000, planning to reconstruct the temple began in earnest. The old building was demolished and Bhoomi Poojan was performed on March 30, 2002 and Shilaropan took place on July 12, 2002. Within five years of planning and construction, the building was completed in 2005. The Pratistha ceremonies were performed between June 10 to 19, 2005. Shri Ashtapad Mountain carved out of crystal stones weighing 7.5 ton was installed at JCA Temple on June 21, 2009 with due religious ceremonies. Adhar Abhishek of 24 Tirthankar idols carved out of various colored Gemstones was performed at Mumbai on April 25, 2009 under the banner of JCA. These idols were imported and Adhar Abhishek of the idols followed by Installation and Pratishtha ceremony was performed on June 19, 2010. The architectural design and planning of this divine place stays true to the multiple codes and ethics of the Jain Religion and satisfies the need for place of worship for Jain Community. In this temple, religion and architecture come together to create a space that is sacred in every detail, while adhering to civic regulations. Various aspects of Jain beliefs are displayed through sculpture, artwork, paintings and narratives throughout the building. This will evoke a greater spiritual consciousness and awareness amongst all. This Jain Center aims to absorb the mind, body and soul of every one that comes to its doorstep. WE BELIEVE IN TRUTH AND NONVIOLENCE

Story of our Temple The Jain Center of America. New York is the first Jain organization established and registered in North America. The president of the ICA, in 1973, announced the intention to build a temple during the Diwali celebration. This news was published in the New York Times. Soon the wheels started rolling, An arrangement was made to bring Pratimaji (Idol) of Shri Mahavir Swami. The Pratimaji was shipped from Mumbai by the ship called 'Hoegh Dyke in 1974 and was installed in the Jain Meditation Center, New York, The Jain Center of New York was re-named as the Jain Center af America - New York (CA, NY) and it was registered as a religious non-profit membership corporation in New York in April 1976. The principal goal of the organization is to fulfill religious needs of the Jain community of New York and the Tri-state area. The moto is: "Live and Let Live." Finally the community leaders and officers of the Jain Center of America (CA) decided to purchase a building at 43-11 Ithaca Street, Elmhurst, New York on February 10, 1981. The Pratimaj of Shri Mahavir Swami Mulnayak was installed in the temple building in the spring of 1982 alter necessary renovation The center started regularly observing Bhakti Bhavna every Friday evening, Paryushana Parva, Das Lakshana Parva, Samvatsari Pratikraman (Kshamapana), Janma Kalyanak of Mahavir Swami, Mahavir Nirvan Divas (Diwali), Akhand Jaap.

Classes were organized to teach Jain religion to young children through Pathshala. During the Paryushana there were many Tapascharyas like Atthal, Mas-khaman, Ayambil al Varsi Tap and Parna where whole Sangh was invited The center set a trend by inviting spiritual leaders and scholars for Paryushana Parva and for summer lectures. To accommodate the ever growing crowd, center started using auditoriums of schools. The center also hosted an International JAINA Conference on April 20. 1975 and the 2nd JAINA Convention from May 28-30, 1983, during which JAINA adopted its constitution. The Jain Center of America - New York revised its original constitution and approved it at the general body meeting, an November 22, 1992 which was amended and adopted on September 30, 2001, to accommodate the needs and desires of the members and to have a bet ter understanding and management In the year 1999, it was decided to build a new temple at Ithaca Street. The existing Pratimas from the temple were moved to a devotee's residence and then to 45-22 74th Street, Elmhurst, NY - the new property purchased by JCA. The building at Ithaca Street was demolished in 2001. Bhoomi Poojan and Shilaropan ceremonies for the new temple building were performed on March 30, 2002 and July 12, 2002 respectively. After Shilaropan, construction of the building started which was completed by 2004 The building was handed over by members of the Diamond and Colorstone Community to JCA on November 28, 2004 in a formal "Key Handover Ceremony" in presence of the Jain Community The Pratishtha ceremonies were performed in June 2005. During the next five years remaining construction work, finishing, furnishing and art work were completed. Ashtapad mountain carved from crystal was installed in June 2009 and Pratishtha ceremony of 24 Tirthankar carved from gemstones was performed in June 2010. Particular themes-linked closely to the philosophy of Jainismare poignantly viewed, through painting, sculpture or narrative remarks, on the empty walls throughout the building Since temples/ upashraya are meant to stir the inner soul of each devotee, this idea of decorating the walls with lain themes evokes a greater spirituality consciousness and awareness for all this Jain Center aims to absorb the mind, soul and body of every worshipper that comes to its doorstep. We have abided by civic regulations and spiritual guidance in constructing this center for Jains. The temple complex will nurture the needs of this generation as well as future generations. It will serve as a center of religious ac tives, rituals and a place for learning Jain religion and philosophy for our youngsters-for centuries to come.

Quotations - 1 - Eternal Truth Eternal Truth The spirit of man is the Supreme Spirit, and this spirit pervades through all of the universe. It is only in the realization of this that our liberation lies. Bhagwan Mahavir said, "Arouse the God in yourself". The world is turning over a new leaf Because today we see our religion more clearly than ever before, it is time to turn our thoughts into action. Awakening Your Inner Vision There are two ways of comprehending truth-through reason and through intuition. Reason sees the form and intuition the essence. Finding Peace and Joy Happiness is a habit, and peace is the effect of cultivating it.

Page #178
Quotations - 2 - Meditation Meditation Like all subjective experience meditation can't be described in words or expressed in any other way. The experience is the definition. Meditation All one can say is that meditation awakens the higher mind, where super conscious activity takes place. This is the source of intuition, inspiration, bliss and transcendental experience. The Power of Contemplation Stronger than the body is the mind and stronger than the mind is the conscious. Its power has no limits.

Page #179
Quotations - 3 - Human Relations Human Relations Our fellowmen are our source as well as the test of our strength. Man comes alone, goes alone. Alone he attracts and assimilates the effect of Karma and suffers it's consequences. To live within oneself and yet live practically and in peaceful coexistence with the community is the ideal to strive for. To bring about peace in family, we must observe the six virtues of discipline, adjustment, compromise, tolerance, humility and love.

Page #180
Quotations - 4 - Discipline Oh! Enlightened Soul (Jeev) Shun your Pride and Ego Oh! Enlightened Soul (Jeev) Do you live for wealth or is wealth just a means for Living? Mental Health Much impurity is present in our thoughts and emotions. The first stage to gain mental health is to flush out the accumulated sins. Discipline - the practice of tolerance is a key to success in life. Discipline: Restraint, regulation, order, are all essential to achieve any desired goal, including happiness.

Self-control is not self-denialit means you must be the master of the pleasures of the world, not a slave. Penance Penance is not a self-punishment but a Quotations -5- Scriptures necessary exercise for spiritual growth. Self-Restraint When man has no control over the sense organs, he becomes a slave to them. Non-Violence Non-violence does not just mean refraining from physical harm. It also includes desisting from aggressive thoughts and inflicting mental hurt upon all beings.

Conflict Resolution Jains, endowed with the doctrine of Non-absolutism (Anekantavad), are ideally positioned to lead the field in conflict resolution. This pluralistic principle encourages understanding and respect for the views of the other, leading to universal brotherhood and peaceful co-existence.

Common Misconceptions Jainism is a religion of restrictions, don't do this, don't eat that Jainism is a religion of freedom. Freedom from attachment, aversions, desires and fears, freedom from the pain and suffering, birth and death. Jainism is about an approach to ultimate freedom by setting one's own limits. Jain Way of Life is hard to practice in North America With a constitutional right to practice any religion of your choice. North America provides a great opportunity to practice and propogate a Jain Way of Life. In fact, the core practices of Jainism, respecting and honoring everyone, vegetarian/Vegan lifestyle, environmentalism, pluralistic thinking, yoga, meditation and spiritual practices are not only accepted but are also fashionable these days. Jainism is a religion of the weak It is the religion of the brave who conquers their inner enemies like anger, ego, deceit and greed. In fact, mahavir literally means the great-brave. Practicing non-violence, non-absolutism and non-possessiveness in daily life builds character and inner strength. Jainism is an offshoot of Hinduism "Jainism is and always has been an independant religion" - Jacobi. It has co-existed with a multitude of other religions since Indus Valley civilization, being both influenced by and influencing them. Mahavir was the founder of Jainism Although Mahavir reformed and re-established the Jain order in 6th century BC. Jainism existed long before him. In fact, he was the 24th and last Tirthankar of the current time period.

Paradoxical Commandments People are illogical, unreasonable, and self-centered. Rove them anyway. If you do good people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives. Do good anyway. If you are successful, you will win false friends and true enemies. Succeed anyway. The good you do today will be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway. Honesty and frankness make you vulnerable Be honest and frank anyway. The biggest men and women with the biggest ideas can be shot down by the smallest men and women with the smallest minds Chink big anyway. People farer underdogs but follow only top dogs fight for a few underdogs anyway. What you spend years building may be destroyed overnight. Build anyway. People really need help but may attack you if you do help them. Help people anyway. Give the world the best you have and you'll get kicked in the teeth. Give the world the best you have anyway.

In Uttarsanda, seeing a monkey perched on a tree, Shrimadji says "O! Noble one, you are indeed devoid of possessive desires and enjoy an entanglement free life; but please remember that is not the path to liberation". Moral of Shrimadji's observation is that though a soul can wander alone, free of entanglements and strive hard on its own, it is unlikely to attain the Right knowledge. A follower of a True Guru can attain Enlightenment even within 48 minutes.

Life Events of Dada Gurudev Religious Instructions to Akbar the Great Shri Jin Chandra Suriji's benign influence spread all over Aryavarta and tales of his glory reached the ears of Emperor Akbar the Great. They invited him to his palace where his holiness taught him religious philosophy. Shri Suriji expounded the philosophy of non-violence and got it announced by a royal dictum. Restoration of Eye-sight to a Blind Man of Surat A religious-minded, Seth's only son lost his eye sight which could not be restored in spite of prolonged treatment. He came at last to the Gurudeva with his blind son. The Gurudeva could see the prospective Jain and so restored the blind son's eye sight. The Advent and Disappearance of Envy A dying cow dropped dead in front of a Jain temple. The Brahmins carried on an agitation against the Jains whom they defamed as slaughterers of cow. Gurudeva revived life in the cow by his power of self-control, and the cow got up and died in front of their own temple and so they craved for pardon then. Arresting Lightning during the Pratikraman Once Shri Jin Dutt Suriji M.S. was doing Pratikraman in the company of a vast crowd of disciples at the time of Sun-set. There was a sudden blast of lightning. Where upon Shri Suriji arrested the lightning and contained it in a wooden vassel for the protection and safety of the Jain temple and prayer hall. On the completion of Pratikraman he released the lightning. The spirit of lightning bowed to the spiritual power of Shri Suriji and vowed never to strike again. Marvel of the Bier Literary Creations of Shri Gurudeva Shri Jin Dutt Suriji served the people by composing many religious books in Prakrit, Sanskrit and Apabhranghsa languages. His books were not voluminous but they were present with deep thoughts and significance. They are as impressive as his preaching and religious performances. Shri Jin Chandra Suriji prior to his passing away he instructed his followers not to put his bier on the ground on the way to the funeral place. The bereaved followers forgot and laid the bier down at Manak Chowk. Then they could not lift it up again. When the king arrived there. He ordered elephants to harness the bier, but still the bier remained unmoved. So the cremation had to be performed on the very spot. Rescue of a Sinking Boat The Protection of Sangh from Robbers Shri Samay Sunderji boarded a boat to cross the river "Panch Nadi" Once Shri Gurudeva was travelling with his holy entourage, when along with his party of devotees. After a while a cyclone fiercely they found some robbers. The Gurudev calmed his followers and raged and it began to rain heavily swinging the boat to and fro. He said, "All the members of the party must come and stand within the began to meditate on his favorite Guru. As a result of his prayers, circle I draw". The robbers passed by without taking any notice of the soul of Shri Jin Kushal Suriji appeared and rescued everybody. the holy Sangh (gathering). The Growth of the Oswal Dynasty The entire life of Shri Jin Dutt Suriji, was dedicated to the establishment and consolidation of the Jain Society. The growth of the Oswal dynasty was one of his chief objectives. His ambrosial voice drew millions to the Jain fold. He cast the magic spell of Jainism on the people. They all embraced Jainism and identified themselves with the Oswal community.

Ashtapad Mountain - A Possibility In Kailash Area TRENCH Mount Kailash Mount Ashtapad

Page #253
Making of ASHTAPAD MAHA TIRTH 5.1 Religious Consideration: Positioning of any religious object is determined by the religious guidelines laid out in the scriptures or as directed by the Acharyas. The original design of Ashtapad was four sided also called as Sarvatomukhi - Omni-directional. Space constraint forced us to make a unidirectional unit viewable only from the front. Now an architectural blueprint was developed to a scale based on the available space. Height and width of the mountain (Ht 12.7" x W 14.6" x D 5.1") were determined according to the space available in the conservatory. 5.2 Structural and Engineering Consideration: Once a decision was made to use crystal for the making of the mountain, the weight of the material and frame, which is about 10 tons-became a structural challenge. Overriding constraint was the weight bearing capacity of the temple on the 4th floor. Permissible weight was not to exceed 10 tons. A steel frame weighing one and a half ton was designed in Jaipur to hold the whole structure. There are eight layers of crystal blocks one above the other resting on a steel frame. As this is a mountain the slope was taken into consideration. The whole structure has 5.1' depth at the bottom but only 0.75' depth at the top. Proposed Design 5.3 Crystal & Gemstones The rough crystal stone weighing 30 tons was Imported. After processing and carving the final weight of the mountain is 7.5 tons. This is supported on a 1.5 ton steel frame. Various colored gemstone were imported from all over the world and used to carve idols of different sizes. Each idol is a single piece which is carved from a single piece of gemstone as found in nature. All stones are certified by the Gemological Lab. There are no joints and each stone is carved as per religious rules and measurements. We have tried to use the best quality gemstones. These idols will form the part of the final unit. Some of the stone names are Tiger Eye, Rhodocrosite, Ruby, Amethyst, Tourmaline, Rose Quartz, Sodalite etc. Rough Crystal Cryst 6.1 Ashtapad Mountain The mountain is the main body and is made of crystal quartz. Various blocks of crystal (59) each weighing 50 to 350 kilo, were assembled to provide a sloping pattern on the front and sides in order to replicate the appearance of a real mountain. Eight steps are constructed in the center leading to the first row of the Gokhala. 24 Gokhalas are sculpted in the mountain itself where the idols are installed. The structure of the mountain consists of eight layers of crystal blocks. The first two layers are for steps, next four are for idols and last two layers are for Shikhar. A five Shikhar design has been added at the top to give the whole structure, the appearance of a temple. All Shikhars are carved as per the design in the scripture, and will be adorned with gold Kalash and Dhwaja (flag) at the top. Ashtapad Mountain Dimension 127 9 14'6" 5'1" 5X18" X 26" 23" Height at Center Height on Sides Width Depth Size of the Steps Distance from Glass We have created an effect of a snow-capped mountain by using appropriate measures. Mount Kailash and Mansarovar photos are mounted on the back wall. The ceiling and the wall at the back is painted with faux painting depicting the sky. 6.2 Gokhalas (Niches) There are 24 Gokhalas of varying sizes to house 24 idols. All gokhalas of each row are equal in size. Originally gokhalas were carved separately as an individual unit. But later on it was decided to carve it in the mountain itself, so that it becomes a part of the mountain. All the gokhalas have a base with two pillars in the front, a niche for idol, an arch, a chhajja, and a shikhar at the top. A design with regular carving was done in the beginning but later on a Ashta-Pratiharya design was added and hence all 24 Gokhalas have this design. Individual Yaksh Yakshini are carved at the base next to the Sinhasan. Five-Shikhar Design 6.3 Idols of 24 Tirthankars- Shri Chovisi The 24 Idols are carved to represent the 24 Tirthankars. Each one has its own symbol at the base that identifies the idol to a viewer. All idols are carved out of gemstones. Due to limitations of the available gemstones, the color will not confirm to the original colors of each Tirthankar. Idols will be installed as per their position according to religious rules as discussed earlier. Ashta-Pratiharya Carving Amethyst Smoky Quartz Sizes of idols vary according to the level where they are being installed based upon sitting arrangement- the lowest two are the tallest 11" in Ht (Idols 1 and 2), then upper four are 9" in Ht (Idols 3 to 6) then middle eight are 7" in Ht (Idols 7 to 14) and finally lower ten are 5" in Ht (Idols 15 to 24), which are the smallest. These match proportionately to the height of each Tirthankar as per scripture. 2 Gokhala & Idol Dimensions: Level Size Tot HW Tirthankars Idols HWD 1-Lowest Ex Large 2 2-Lower Small 10 3-Middle Medium 8 4-Upper Large 4 10 5 4 2 8 75 3 4 974 24 22 1 to 2 14 12 15 to 24 18" 15" 7 to 14 22 18 3 to 6

Ravan Mandodari Bhakti on the way to Ashtapad Face Ravan and his wife Mandodari went to Mount Ashtapad to pray. Mandodari started dancing while Ravan started playing the Veena, a musical instrument. When a string from the Veena accidentally broke, Ravan pulled a vein from his thigh, replaced the broken string, and continued playing the Veena. Afterwards they performed pooja & offered prayers to the idols. Thus Ravan earned Tirthankar Nam-karma, ensuring a place in the future Chovisi.

Rani Veermati Story While traveling King Mamman and Queen Veermati met a monk named Muniraj who was on his way to Ashtapad Tirth. Since then, Queen Veermati wanted to visit Ashtapad Tirth and pray there. After the Queen completed a long penance, Shasan Devi, a goddess, assisted Veermati to Ashtapad. The Queen prayed to all 24 Tirthankaras and placed a gemstone studded gold tilak on the forehead of all the idols. In a later life, as Queen Damayanti, her forehead was glowing like the ruby tilak that she had previously adorned on all the Tirthankaras.

Gautam Swami and Tiryank Jhambak Dev That night a heavenly god named Vaishraman (Tiryank Jrumbhak dev, in one of the previous life of a great sage Vajra-swami) also came there to worship. He saw Gautam Swami who looked very handsome and healthy. He thought how can this monk do penance and still look this healthy. Gautam Swami read his mind and told the story of Pundarik and Kandarik and explained that an emaciated body is not the indication of penance. But to control the soul through meritorious meditation is real penance. This way he cleared the doubt of the heavenly god.

Janma Kalyanak - Shri Rushabhdev During the third era, King Nabhiraj and Queen Marudevi ruled over Bharat Kshetra. The Queen gave birth to a son named Rishabha. Shri Rishabha became King, ruling well and teaching various skills to his people. As his life went by, Rishabha decided to renounce worldly life. He donated all his possessions for one year and became a monk.

Varsi Tap Parna - Shri Rushabdev As a monk, Rishabhadev wandered from house to house for thirteen months. People offered him gold and other valuables, not knowing that he would only accept food. It wasn't until Rishabhadev reached the city of Hastinapur in northern India, at that time King Shreyans Kumar bowed down and offered Rishabhadev fresh sugarcane juice as Gochari. Since then, the Varsi Tap (penance) and the corresponding fast breaking ceremony of drinking sugar cane juice during Parna have been followed.

Samavsaran - Shri Rushabhdev Once after attaining absolute knowledge, Shri Rishabhadev Bhagawan was delivering a sermon while seated in Samavasaran. Out of curiosity, King Bharat asked if any hum an being living here would become a Tirthankar in the future. He replied affirmatively and said that his son Marichi will become the 24th Tirthankar after many life cycles and will be known as Mahavir. He subsequently explained the upcoming Chovisi (24 Tirthankars). This is how King Bharat came to know the details about the present Chovisi.

Bharat Chakravarti Chakravarti King Bharat (son of Shri Rishabhadev) had built a palace of crystal and installed 24 idols of Shri Tirthankars carved out of gemstones at this place as a memorial to commemorate the nirvana of Bhagawan Shri Rishabhadev. The name "Ashtapad" is derived from the fact that there are eight (Ashta) steps (Pad) leading to the palace. Bharat was the eldest son of Rishabhadev. After his father renounced the throne, Bharat became the King. When King Bharat heard about Rishabhadev Bhagawan's nirvana, he went to Ashtapad to pay homage. There, Bharat not only constructed a gemstone-studded palace, but also installed the idols of the 24 Tirthankaras as Rishabhadev had described in his sermon.

Areesha Mahal Story King Bharat was looking in the mirror in his palace. When one of the rings fell off of his finger, King Bharat saw his bare finger and wondered what he would look like without any ornamentation. As he removed all his jewelry. he realized his material possessions were creating the illusion of beauty & that true beauty comes from within. With his newfound awareness, King Bharat entered deep thought, where he was able to destroy all his Ghati Karma & reach Keval-Jnan.

Shri Gautam Swami When Bhagawan Mahavir established the Chaturvidha Sangha, Indrabhuti Gautam was his first disciple. At the time of Nirvana of Bhagavan Mahavir, Gautam Swami was at another village when he learned of Nirvana and was mourning then he got the omniscience or keval gnan.

Tapas Kheer Parna When Gautam Swami arrived at the bottom of the Ashtapad Mountain, he saw 3 ascetics, with 500 disciples each trying to scale Mount Ashtapad, who could not climb more than 3 steps. Next morning when he came down, all 1503 Tapas were impressed by his achievement and wanted to be his disciples. However due to their earnest desire he initiated them. As all the Tapas were fasting for 3 days, Gautam Swami arranged Kheer (rice cooked in milk) for Parna. Even though the quantity of Kheer was not enough, due to his spiritual power he could feed Kheer to all of them by putting his thumb in the vessel.

Nag Kumar and Sagar Son's Story King Sagar had sixty thousand sons who went to Mount Ashtapad and prayed to all 24 Tirthankars. In order to protect the temple, they dug a big trench all around the mountain that disturbed the King of serpents who lived there. Nag Kumar Dev was very angry, but when the Princes apologized to Nag Kumar he pardoned them & went away. The princes thought the trench will be filled up over the period, so they decided to fill it up with holy water from the Ganges & disturbed Nag Kumar Dev again, so he came out & burned all 60,000 princes to ashes.

Story of Ashtapad Shri Ashtapad Maha Tirth-Ratna Mandir Shry Asianapad Maha The There are many temples (places of Worship) all over India. Out of these there are five major Tirth where 24 Tirthankar attained Nirvana. aSTApaTedI Adi jinavara vIra pAvAparI varka, vAsapajva caMpAlavara sidhyA nesa raivala giri varaH sammeta zikhare vIsa jinavara, makti pahaMcyA manivarka cavIsa jinavara nitya baMda, seyala saMgha sukhakarU, Adinath Bhagwan attained Nirvana at Ashtapad, Mahavir Swami at Pavapuri, Vasupujya Swami at Champapuri and Neminath attained Nirvana at Girnar. The other 20 Tirthankar attained Nirvana at Sametshikhar. We always bow down with reverence to all the 24 Tirthankar, which brings eternal happiness to all of us. Four of these Tirth are in existence, where one can go and wor ship but the fifth one, Ashtapad Maha Tirth, is lost (lupt) in time, which members of Jain Center of America are trying to re-discover They have been gifted with a replica of this Tirth which people can visit, worship, and pay their respect Shn Champapurih Shri Sametshikhar Tirth MY al H l . ijjaga thI maDhava, jema namuM kiranAra, tAraMge zrI ajitanAtha, Abu jama jamara, viTApada giri upare, jana pavize jo maNimaya mUrati mAna che. bharate brarAvI mauya has (9 ) I bow down in reverence to Arihant Bhagwan repeatedly recite the name of Arihant with great reverence. I bow to Shri Adidev at Shetrunjaya, Shri Neminath at Girnar, Shri Ajitnath at Taranga and Rushabhdev at Abu. I bow down to his idol wherever it is installed and on the Ashtapad Mountain where Chakravarti Bharat installed gemstone idols of all the 24 Tirthankar. Rushabhadas - 17th Century Shri Girnar Tirth Shri Pavapuri Tirth "By observing the vows, even a householder can be plous." -Uttaradhyayan Sutra 5.24 Ashtapad Tirth is one of the major Tirth in Jain Religion which is regarded as lost. JCA has been gifted with a replica of this Tirth carved out of crystal and gemstones which is now installed in the conservatory on the 4 floor of the temple building Nirvana Bhoomi is the place where the Tirthankar attain Siddha Status. Al 24 Tirthankar attained Nirvana at five places (Five Maha Tirth). The first Tirthankar, Bhagwan Shri Rushabhdev, attained Nirvana on Ashtapad Mountain There are five central event (known as Panch Kalyanak) that occurs in a Tirthankar lifetime: Chyavan Kalyanak, Janma Kalyanak, Diksha Kalyanak, KevalGnan Kalyanak and Nirvana Kalyanak, when the soul gets free from all karmic bonds and is liber ated to attain Siddha status. Chakravarti King Bharat had built a palace of crystal and installed 24 dols of all Tirthankar carved out of gemstones to commemorate the Nirvana af Bhagwan Shri Rushabhdev. The name "Ashtapad" is derived from the fact that there are eight (Ashta) steps (Pad) leading to the palace. Details about Ashtapad Maha Tirth After attaining absolute knowledge, Shri Rushabhdev Bhagwan was delivering a sermon when King Bharat asked if anyone present here would become a Tirthankar. He replied affirmative ty and said that his son Marichi will become the 24 Tirthankar and will be known as Mahavir. He subsequently explained the details of the upcoming Chovisi. This is how King Bharat came to know about the present Chovisi Location Present Status When Constructed In Memory of Constructed by Name of Palace Name of Architect Material Design Eight Steps Synonyms Ashtapad Mountain: Kailash - Himalayas Not known - (JCA NY is trying to locate) Millions of years ago Bhagwan Rushabhdev (Nirvana-Kalyanak) King Bharat (Son of Shri Rushabhdev) Sinha Nishadhya Prasad Varddhaki Ratna Crystal and Gemstones Omni-directional / Four sided Hence the name Ashtapad Haradni, Rajatadri, Sfat kachal, Ratnamay

Development of Concept - Ratna Mandir Various Ashtapad PAT The Jain center of America Inc. New York, constructed a new building for its temple and other religious activities. As a tribute to 24 Tirthankar, it is customary to make idols of 24 Tirthankar in a temple and place them around Gabhara (main place of worship in a temple) Then one happened to visit a temple in Jaipur (India) and saw an Ashtapad Pat This was the turning point from the "Ratna Mandir concept into "Ashtapad" Now how to morph Ratna Mandir into "Shri Ashtapad"? This led us to research further in the study of Ashtapad. Courtesy: Sh Nathmal Chandalia, Jaipur Front ElevationJCA Temple building Shri Ashtapad Tirth Pat carved on Glass with Silver at Ahmedabad depicted the details about Ashtapad and related stories Courtesy: Shrimad Rajchandra Tradition As the space was limited, we did not know how to achieve this? Meanwhile, we saw couple of idols carved from gemstones in the office and thought of making 24 idols out of gemstones and house them in Bhamati area as Ratna Mandir (RM). This would require much smaller space. At this stage a preliminary design of the Ratna Mandir was drawn A mountain is carved out of crystal stones. There are eight steps at the base as per name of Ashtapad (8 steps) and 24 niches (Gokhalas) for Shri Chovisi in the center of the mountain. There are five Shikhar and has various stories carved from gemstones 2-Blue 2-Green 2-White 2-Red 16-Gold Courtesy: Shrenuj & Company, Mumbai "Desire, like the sky, is endless." -Uttaradhyayan Sutra, 9-48 Framing Design Development of Ashtapad Design The original design of Ashtapad was four sided as per the picture given, also known as Sarvatomukhi or Omni-directional. (Reference - Gnan Prakash Deeparnave). The weight of the crystal, which is about 7.5 ton became a structural challenge. A steel frame weighing one ton was designed to hold the whole structure. There are eight layers one above the other in the steel framing. As this is a mountain, the slope was taken into consideration. The whole structure has 5.1' depth at the bottom but only 0.75' at the top The sitting arrangement of idols in 4 d fferent rows as shown in the picture was done as per the following verse (Shloka) from scripture; castAri ahadasaToyabaMdiyA jigavarAghavIsa, parama-niDiadA sidhyA sidhi mama disaMtu -sidhyANa budhyANaM sUtra This verse indicates that the four Tirthankar are facing south or sitting at upper level (numbers 3 to 6), eight facing west or at the middle level (numbers 7 to 14), ten facing north or at the lower level (numbers 15 to 24), and two facing east or at the lowest level (number 1 and 2). This way the idol positions were determined for a unidirectional unit in four horizontal rows, one above the other. Space constraint forced us to make a unidirectional unit viewable only from the front. Then an architectural blueprint was developed to a scale based on the available space. Accordingly height and width of the mountain (Ht 13.1" x W 14.7" x D 5.1") were determined. A sky light was also installed at the top to give an effect of the Ashtapad Mountain being open to the sky. Furthermore, we added a faux painting on the sides giving the effect similar to sky with paintings of Kailash and Mansarovar in the background which gives the impression that Ashtapad is in the Kailash area and open to the sky. 3 engineers, 2 architects, and many Ashtaped team members took part in final designing of the frame. It took almost three years to come to a final framing design,

Rough Crystal The rough crystal stone weighing 30 ton was imported. After processing and carving, the final weight of the mountain is seven and half ton. This is supported on a one ton steel frame. Crystal Blocks Total of 59 blocks were cut and arranged in 8 layers to make the mountain. Each weighing few kg to about 300 kg individually. Carving on Steps - Eight steps were carved at base of the mountain in the center, heading up to Gokhale level. Carving on Ghummat and Chhaja All 24 Gokhala have Ghummat with Chhaja and were fully carved, all around. Making of Mountain, Steps and Ghokhala Mountain is the main body and is made from crystal quartz. Various blocks of crystal (59) each weighing few kg to 300 kg, were assembled to replicate the appearance of a real mountain and to provide a sloping pattern on the front and sides. Eight steps were constructed in the center leading to the first row of the Gokhala. 24 Gokhala were sculpted in the mountain itself where the idols are installed. Model No. 5 was built in crystal to 1/5th size of the final unit. The mountain is constructed from crystal blocks, arranged in eight layers one above the other and side by side. The mountain is carved in eight layers of crystal blocks. First two layers are for steps, next four layers are for idols and last two layers are for Shikhar.

Eight steps are carved at the base of the mountain in the center. A design with regular carving was done in the beginning but later on a Asht Pratiharya design was added and hence all 24 Gokhala have a Ashta Pratiharya design. Individual Yaksh Yakshini are carved at the base next to the Sinhasan. A five Shikhar design is carved as per the design in the scripture to give an appearance of a temple and adorned with gold Kalash and at Dhwaja (flag) at the top. Mountain & Shri Chovisi are illuminated from the front using white lights, as well as from the back using color lights, giving an amazing effect.

Janma Kalyanak During the third era, King Nabhiraj and Mata Marudevi ruled over Bharat Kshetra. The Queen gave birth to a son named Rushabha who later became King, ruling well and teaching various skills to his people. As his life went by, he decided to renounce worldly life. He donated all his possessions for one year and became a monk. Varsi Tap Parna As a monk, Rushabhdev reached the city of Hastinapur, King Shreyans Kumar bowed down and offered him fresh sugarcane juice for Parna. Since then the Varsi Tap (penance) and the corresponding fast breaking ceremony of drinking sugarcane Juice during Parna have been followed. Bharat Chakravarti Bharat was the eldest son of Rushabhdev. After his father renounced the throne, hel became the King. When King Bharat heard about Bhagwan's Nirvana, he went to Ashtapad to pay homage. There he constructed a crystal palace and installed the idols of the 24 Tirthankar as Rushabhdev had explained him in one of his sermon. Areesa Mahal Once King Bharat was looking in the mirror in his palace, when one of the rings fell off from his finger. He saw his bare finger and wondered what he would look like without any ornaments. He realized his material possessions were creating the illusion of beauty & that true beauty comes from with-1 in. He entered in deep meditation, when he was able to destroy all his Ghati Karma. Shri Gautam Swami Bhagwan Mahavir once said in his sermon, "A person who scales Ashtapad offers prayers to 24 Tirthankar attains Moksha in the same life." When Gautam Swami heard this, he requested permission from Bhagwan to go to Ashtapad. With the help of spiritual power (Atma Labdhi), Gautam Swami scaled Ashtapad Mountain by holding onto sunrays as rope. Tapas Kheer Parna When Gautam Swami arrived at the base of the Ashtapad Mountain, he saw three ascetics, with 500 disciples each trying to scale Ashtapad, but they could not climb more than 3 steps. Upon his return all Tapas were impressed by his achievement and wanted to be his disciples. Since the Tapas were fasting for 3 days, Gautam Swami arranged Kheer (rice cooked in milk) for Parna. The quantity of Kheer was not enough, but with his spiritual power he fed all by putting his thumb in the vessel. Tiryank Jrumbhak Dev That night a heavenly god named Vaishraman (Tiryank Jrumbhak Dev, in one of the previous life of Vajra Swami) came there to worship. He saw Gautam Swamil who looked very healthy. He thought how can this monk do penance. Gautam Swami read his mind and told the story of Pundarik and Kandarik, that control of soul through meritorious meditation is real penance. This way he cleared the doubt of heavenly god. -Sutra-krutanga Sutra 1.5.2.33 Nag Kumar & Sagar's sons King Sagar's 60,000 sons went to Ashtapad to pray. In order to protect the temple, they dug a trench all around. Being disturbed, Nag Kumar Dev got angry but Princes apologized. Then they filled the trench with water. This disturbed Nag Kumar Dev again, so he came out and burned all 60,000 Princes to ashes. Ravan & Bali Muni While flying over Ashtapad, Ravan's Vimant stopped as he failed to pray to meditating Bali Muni. This angered Ravan and remembering his previous revenge, he tried to lift the mountain with intention to throw it into the ocean. With special knowledge, Bali realized this so he pressed his toe on mountain. Ravan was unable to bear the pressure, so he begged for pardon. Ravan & Mandodari Bhakti Ravan and his wife Mandodari went to Ashtapad to pray. While Ravan was playing Veena, Mandodari started dancing when a string from Veena broke. Ravan pulled a vein from his thigh, to replace the broken string, and continued playing. Then they performed pooja. Thus Ravan earned Tirthankar Nam-karma. Rani Veermati Rani Veermati wanted to visit Ashtapad to pray. After she completed a long penance, Shashan Devi, assisted her to Ashtapad. She prayed to all 24 Tirthankar and placed a gemstone Tilak on their forehead. In her later life, as Rani Damayanti, her forehead glowed like ruby Tilak that she had previously adorned on all Tirthankar.

The soul therefore should not develop attachments to worldly objects. NEVITABILITY OF THIS DEATH azIca bhAvanA Asharan Bhavana - No one provides protection. The soul is own refuge and to achieve enlightenment one should take refuge to five best, Arihanta, Siddha, Aacharya, Upadhyaya and Sadhus. Ekatva Bhavna-Solitude of the soul. The soul is solitaire and lonely in existence. It assumes birth alone, and departs alone. It is responsible for its own karmas- good or bad. Ashuchi Bhavana Impureness of the body. The composition of the body reveals that it is impure, only soul is pure. The body will become non existent, but the soul is eternal. Emotional attachment to the body is needless.
