PILGRIMAGE TO SHATRUNJAY
While visiting India, many of us go for pilgrimage. For Shwetämbar Murtipujak Jains, Shatrunjay hill is considered the most important place for pilgrimage. The word Shatrunjay is made of Shatru meaning enemy and Jay meaning victory. So the term Shatrunjay means victor of the inner enemies like anger, arrogance etc. In view of the importance of that pilgrimage, it is considered worthwhile to give here some information pertaining to it.
LOCATION
Shatrunjay hill is situated near the town of Pälitänä about 22 miles southwest of Bhavnagar in Saurashtra. Local people can go there by train, bus or car. Those coming from distant places can fly from Bombay to Bhavnagar and then travel by cab to reach Pälitänä. There are many Dharmashäläs or public resting places in the town, some of them close to the hill. The pilgrims can comfortably stay in one of them.
