Non Jains have recently started aggressive campaigns to take over Shatrunjaygiri pilgrimage “TIRTH”. Please express your voice by words and by nodding a YES campaign to resist such attempts. Jains of all differences of creed, Swetambers, Digambars, Sthanakvasis, Terapanthis, Gujaratis, Marwaries, and largely all Jains must say YES to stop these perpetrators.

To give some idea about why these places, Shatrunjyagiri (same as the pahad in Palitana), Girnar, Mount Abu, and Samet Shikhar, belong to Jains, I refer to the ruling Badshah (King) Akbar made after being thoroughly influenced by Pujya Hirvsuriswarji Maharaj Saheb with the help of Shri Shantilal Zhaveri of Ahemedabad,Gujarat who had become a good friend of Badshah Akbar. Badshah Akbar saw the hundreds and thousands of Jains following Pjy Hirvijaysuriswarji Maharaj in his pledge not to see the Badshah Akbar even when called by the King. He then came to meet him, when he got to understand what Jain religion was all about, one of non-violence, no hoarding, etc. He ordered his Court to declare these four places only for Jains. The documents to this Ruling are there in our treasured places, call it the Pedhi of Anandji Kalyanji in Ahmedabad. The Ruling says no Government can change this Ruling at any time, then or even now. 

I hope this petition finds its ways to people and rulers in India, particularly, and helps settle any dispute in land related to these pilgrimage places.
