SHRI SHATRUNJAY GIRIRAJ DARSHAN
All of us should make an effort for the liberation of our 'Jivatma'. Obviously, therefore, we must attend to the obstructing factors and pursue active Sadhana' to eradicate these obstructions.
The enemies of 'Jivatma' are of two types - internal and external. Recognising the internal and external enemies, finding means to extinguish them and by utilising the same, we must achieve the liberation of our Jivatma'.
The external enemies of 'Jivatma' are the worldly opponents. The internal enemies are the lusts, the anger, etc. To win over them, there is a need for a Kshetra' which is unique in producing some extraordinary results. 'Shri Shatrunjay' (helper in victory over enemies), is a place which helps in attaining the goal of liberating our Jivatma'.
Many are the hills and mountains ! But the hill should be such whose extremely pious 'Kshetra' can increase the possibility of liberating our
Jivatma'. This is the HILL which is extremely pious. That is why He is called Giriraj.
The Jivatma' can be liberated by worshipping this extremely pious Giriraj.
