मथुरा में जैन धर्म
प्राचीन मूर्तियाँ कई स्थानों से प्राप्त हुईं हैं,लेकिन यहाँ दो स्थान प्रमुख हैं जिन की प्रसिद्धि जैन तीर्थ के रूप में है।पहला है सिद्ध क्षेत्र चौरासी , जिस का संबंध महावीर के पट्ट शिष्य सुधर्माचार्य के उत्तराधिकारी जम्बू स्वामी से है।जैन मान्यताओं के अनुसार ImageImageImageImage
जम्बू स्वामी ने न केवल यहाँ निवास किया अपितु कैवल्य तथा मोक्ष प्राप्त कर इस स्थान को सदा के लिए सिद्ध क्षेत्र बना दिया। दूसरा प्रमुख स्थान है कंकाली टीला जो प्राचीनता की दृष्टि से मथुरा के लिए ही नहीं,वरन् जैन धर्म के लिए भी अत्यंत महत्वपूर्ण है।ब्रिटिश काल तक यह क्षेत्र एक ImageImage
विस्तृत टीले के रूप में था।कंकाली देवी का एक छोटा मंदिर होने के कारण इसे ' कंकाली टीला ' कहा जाता था। सन् 1871 ईस्वी में प्रसिद्ध पुरातत्वविद् कनिंघम की नज़र इस टीले पर पड़ी ।उसने यहाँ से कई जैन प्रतिमाएं प्राप्त कीं ,लेकिन कंकाली टीले पर व्यवस्थित उत्खनन का अभियान सन् 1888-91

Jain Darshan views bottled water as non-potable. There are many scientific reasons for this. 1. This water is full of germs that cause diseases. Science has stated the need of boiling the water to make it potable. This requirement is not satisfied by bottled water. 2. Bottled ..

water is an excellent chemical solvent. Pure water is more powerful. As such, harmful plastics are dissolved in water during the long shelf-time. 4. It is well-known that natural minerals are filtered during the filtration process. That also renders water un-potable. #jain-facts

The latest victim of the growing hate for all things related to #Dharmic faiths. After attacking or co-opting all number of #Hindu traditions, it's now the turn of a micro-minority : the #Jain faith and being #vegetarian in general. SouthAsian vegetarians be warned! 1/n
#Caste
During the public comments section of the @SeattleCouncil meeting on 2/14, supporters of the proposed #Caste ordinance turned their ire on the "militant vegetarianism" of #Jains. Hear the sound byte to understand the outright hate being mainstreamed!
Ironically the long and ancient tradition of #vegetarianism among SOME #Hindus, #Jains, #Sikhs and #Buddhists is under fire-even as western society as a whole discovers the benefits of a #plantbased diet and #MeatLessMonday proliferates. 3/n

Who is an Ex-McSikh?
Any Punjabi who has quit #McSikhi (Macauliffe’s Sikhi), and has reconnected w/ #Sikhi of our #Gurus

Who are #McSikhs?
Most modern-day Punjabis- those born into Sikh Panth, & Hindus from mixed Sikh-Hindu heritage, and/or culture (most Punjabi #Hindus)
3/
What do #McSikhs follow?
#McSikhi (Macauliffe’s Sikhi)

What is #McSikhi?
#McSikhi (Macauliffe’s Sikhi) is the Modern Anglicized Distorted (MAD) #Sikhi…largely disconnected from Sikhi of our Gurus. #MADSikhi
4/
#McSikhi was created by British colonials with the help of their Indian stooges (Singh Sabha,Tat Khalsa etc.). This was done after the fall of Maharaja Ranjit Singh’s #KhalsaRaj to the British colonials.

Before #McSikhi, Punjabis practiced #Sikhi of our Gurus.

'Siribhoovalaya' is a unique work of multi-lingual literature by Kumudendu Muni, a 8th century Kannada #Jain monk. It contains valuable information about various sciences including mathematics, chemistry, physics, metallurgy, astronomy, medicine, history, space travel etc
#Thread ImageImage
The work is unique as it doesn't use Alphabets, but is composed entirely in Kannada numerics called Anka lipi. Totally there are 26 chapters in big volumes, of which only 3 have been decoded. This method of writing/coding represents 18 scripts & over 700 languages!

Ada is an ancient village certainly having historical background behind it. There are some images related to Brahmanical faith present in this village. The early Uma-Maheswar image kept in front of the Chateswar Mahadeva temple is a fine specimen of Kalingan iconography.
