@KumaraKant12142 @sarpame @grok can u explain who is rishbhadeva ? whose name has been mentioned many times in the oldest veda which is RIG VEDA. (according to Jainism Bhagwan Rishabdev is 1st tirthankar of ths avsarpini )

@sarpame 😂😂 And where did Neminatha get it from .... ??! From Vedas Upanishads !! @grok is there any literature prior to vedas Upanishads which discuss Atma Vidya ??

According to Jain traditions and narratives, Neminatha (also known as Lord Neminath or Arishtanemi), the 22nd Tirthankara of Jainism, gave the knowledge of the Bhagavad Gita (or a version of it) to Krishna. Neminatha is said to have narrated or taught a Gita-like discourse—to Krishna, who then delivered or adapted it on the battlefield of Kurukshetra. Krishna is portrayed as regarding Neminatha as his teacher or mentor in these stories. This differs from the Hindu tradition, where Krishna himself imparts the Gita directly to Arjuna as divine wisdom.

@Summi479 @KushalM98 @aka911_ ths ppl won't think they just want to bash ayurveda .. they r saying like allopathy saves every person from any disease. thr r many cases thr also.u rightly said u need both ayurveda nd modern medicine. it is upto the person to understand his or her body nd go for the treatment.

@KushalM98 @aka911_ It was the same all around the world, probably because of world wars & famine. I've met people who got treated with Ayurveda and found relief. You need both Ayurveda and modern medicine.

So this happened One of my patient who was earlier suffering from CKD (kidney disease) went to Patanjali Haridwar for treatment in 2025 Shockingly there was a slight improvement in his symptoms. This year in Feb 2026 - his condition suddenly deteriorated and creatinine shot up to 12. Imagine he actually called up a “Doctor” at the ayurveda centre who advised him - agar himmat hai to Aa Jaiye. The patient in this life threatening condition travelled in a train all the way to Haridwar & again got “treated”. But this time his condition became even worse and combined with the cold in Uttarakhand he beat a hasty retreat back home. This was in Feb. Last week he called me up & the blood reports were alarming. Creatinine was around 16 & K around 8.6 Fortunately better sense prevailed this time and he got admitted under a nephrologist & underwent dialysis after which his condition is stable. However what was more shocking for me was when he told that his health insurance covered the treatment at Patanjali. Imagine - hydrotherapy & mud therapy in a patient with creatinine 12.

Many European travellers, travelling in 1800 old Mysore kingdom had observed the following Jainism was rich in culture and antiquity Jains celebrated regional or seasonal festivals like Ugadi, Sankranti, Mahanavami and Gouri etc., while doing so the cultural system was being Jainised with in the well-established Socio-religious structure. Socio-Religious practices is due to fundamental doctrinal differences, the Jainas and other Hindu communities almost lived apart; and they hardly mixed with each other in relation to socio-religious ceremonies. The Jains form perfectly a distinct class. Hindu Brahmins never attended any of their religious or civil ceremonies, while Jains on their part never attended those of the Brahmins. They have their own temples, and men professing the same tenets as themselves fill the priestly office. There were brahmins in the Jain society called Jain Brahmanas In addition, other sects like Bogara, Panchama, Chaturtha, Jaina Banajiga, Jaina Sadaru, Jaina Komattis, Jaina Arasu, Jaina Chippiga, and Jaina Gowda are also reported It is apparent that, in addition to their own festivals, the Jains also observed other regional or seasonal festivals. Ram is never represented by an idol in a basadi; although he is acknowledged to be a Siddha; and although Ganesha and Hanuman are acknowledged to be devas these favourities of the followers of the Vedas have no image in the temples of the Arhants.

Rishod in Washim district has 12th-century Jain temple remains. The Hingoli-Shirpur-Karanja belt is rich in Jain history and heritage. Scattered remains near the Padmavati temple in Rishod hint at an ancient Jain temple once standing there. Unfortunately, the government hasn't taken steps for archaeological survey. The Padmavati temple houses a beautiful, ancient idol dated to 1212 CE, with an inscription. The white marble idol depicts Padmavati, the yakshini of Parshvanatha, seated on a lotus with a lotus and pasha/ankush in her hands, a five-hooded snake, and Gaj #padmavatijainyakahini #padmavati #karnjajains #rishod #digambarjainismimaharashtra #washim #maharastrajain

Structure of Siddhachakram Mahayantram From Jain Dharma

On the occasion of Bhagwan Mahavir Janma Kalyanak Diwas tomorrow, 31st March, the Samrat Samprati Museum at Koba Tirth will be inaugurated. The seven wings of this museum are dedicated to India’s glorious history and culture. Numerous rare relics, Jain artefacts and traditional heritage collections are also on display. It also showcases the exemplary Jain culture and the contribution of Jainism to humankind.

On 23 March, two tunnel boring machines — each weighing over 2,000 tonnes, each wider than a four-lane highway — were unloaded at Mumbai's JNPT port. They were meant to arrive in October 2024. This thread, and the accompanying story, is about what held them up. 📷

A Fascinating History of Kumarpala Chaulukya/Solanki 👑 Maharaja Kumarapala remains one of the most iconic figures in Indian history. 1. Early Life & The 30-Year Exile Born in 1084 CE (VS 1140) to the Chaulukya (Solanki) dynasty of Gujarat. *King Jayasimha Siddharaj wanted to kill his nephew, Kumarapala, because it was prophesied that the kingdom would go to Kumarapala's hands. Kumarapal lived as a fugitive for 30 years, wandering through forests and cities, often facing starvation and extreme hardship. Hemchandracharya protected Kumarapala during this time. Kalikal Sarvagnya Hemchandracharya Saving Him from Exile/Death, Hiding Him in the Library:  A popular legend describes that when soldiers came to capture Kumarapala, who was traveling in disguise, Hemchandracharya hid him under a pile of manuscripts (or beneath a palm-leaf manuscript) in his library to save his life. Prophecy of Ascension: Hemchandracharya predicted that Kumarapala would succeed Siddharaja, which helped him survive his early life and eventually ascend the throne. Protection After Becoming King: Later, when Kumarapala was ruling, Jain texts state that another king decided to invade Gujarat, taking advantage of Kumarapala's conversion to the non-violent Jain faith. Hemachandra assured Kumarapala that the Jain deities would protect him and predicted that the invading king would die, which happened when the invader was strangled by a tree branch.  2. Ascension to the Throne (1143 CE) *After the death of Siddharaj, Kumarapal finally ascended the throne of Anahilapataka (Patan) at the age of 50.

--- The Crisis: Knowledge Held Only in Memory When Lord Mahavir* attained nirvana, his teachings were never written down. For centuries, they were preserved entirely through oral tradition* — memorised and passed from one generation of monks to the next. It was a remarkable feat of human memory, but also a deeply fragile one. Then disaster struck. A devastating famine* lasting many years claimed the lives of numerous monks. With each death, vast stores of memorised knowledge were lost forever. For the Jain community, the situation was dire: if nothing was done, centuries of spiritual teachings could simply vanish*. --- The Response: The Councils of Vaachanas To confront this crisis, Jain monks began organising large scholarly gatherings known as Vaachanas — councils where the most knowledgeable monks would come together to pool and organise surviving teachings. Four major councils are recorded in Jain history: - Pataliputra* – around 350 BC - Mathura* – around 300 AD - Valabhi* – around 300 AD - Valabhi (again)* – around 450 AD It was the *final council at Valabhi* that proved most decisive.

Do you know ❓😊 The extent of non-violence principle practiced by the King Kumarpal 👑 He built a separate home for lice & ants🐜; He provided filtered water to 1100000 horses, 1100 elephants; Anybody in his kingdom who uttered the word hit/cut (maaro, kaato) was punished.

He is speechless, cannot see and cannot walk...he is a special child. But he can feel the aura around him 🪄 He is going to complete one year's fasting called Varshitap which is a long tough penance. Incredible 👏🏻🙏🏻

₹40,000 crore. That is roughly the size of the global probiotic market today. Pause for a moment. Modern hygiene first wipes out microbes with antibiotics, antiseptics, antibacterial soaps, sterilized surfaces, RO filtration. Then science discovers that humans cannot live without microbes. Suddenly the market is full of probiotic capsules to restore “good bacteria”. Kill them. Then sell them back. But traditional Indian life followed a very different logic. Not sterility. Balance. Consider the village house. Floors were often plastered with a thin layer of cow dung mixed with clay. To a modern eye this looks primitive. Yet dried dung contains soil bacteria such as Bacillus species that suppress harmful pathogens. The plaster also controls humidity and dust. Instead of chemical sterilization, the floor hosted a stable microbial layer. Clean. But alive. Now look at washing practices. Before commercial soaps, many households used ash to clean utensils or hands. Wood ash contains alkaline salts like potassium carbonate. When mixed with water it behaves like a mild soap, breaking down grease. It cleans. But it does not flood the surface with synthetic antimicrobial chemicals that wipe out everything. Hair care followed the same ecological logic. Reetha and shikakai were common cleansers. These plants contain natural saponins that produce foam and remove dirt, yet they are far gentler than modern sulfate shampoos. The scalp oils remain. The skin barrier survives. The microbial ecosystem stays intact. Oral hygiene was also interesting. People commonly brushed with datun sticks made from neem or babool. When chewed, the fibers fray into a natural brush. Neem carries antibacterial phytochemicals that suppress cavity-causing bacteria. But the mouth is not sterilized. The oral microbiome remains balanced. Water tells another part of the story. Drinking water came from wells, stepwells, ponds, and tanks. Groundwater naturally carries minerals like calcium and magnesium. These minerals influence gut chemistry and microbial growth. Modern RO filtration often strips them away. Water becomes chemically pure, but biologically poorer. Add one more layer. Traditional life meant constant contact with soil. Courtyards, fields, earthen floors, bare feet, clay vessels. Soil microbes interacted daily with human skin and immune systems. Today immunologists call this the “hygiene hypothesis”. When microbial exposure disappears, immune systems become confused. Allergies and autoimmune diseases rise. The pattern becomes hard to ignore. Traditional Indian hygiene did not aim for sterility. It aimed for equilibrium. Clean surfaces. Living ecosystems. Modern science is slowly rediscovering the same idea through microbiome research, fermented foods, and probiotic therapy. Which leaves an uncomfortable question. If the future of medicine is restoring microbial balance, were many traditional Indian practices quietly doing exactly that all along? 🧬

In 2006, Jain bronze artefacts were discovered at the Buddhist settlement of Ken-Bulun, Chuy Valley, Kyrgyzstan. Dated ca. 1128-1285 CE The objects were found in clay brought for construction purposes.
