Shri Digamber Jain Siddha Kshetra Sammed Shikharji Yatra
Shri Digamber Jain Siddha Kshetra Sammed Shikharji Yatra
 Shri
Sammed Shikharji Teerth Kshetra has the top rank among all the
Digambar Jain Teerth Kshetras, being the salvation place of
20 Teerthankaras and large number of saints. So this is called
Teerthraj (King of Teerths)
 Since
very ancient time it is a belief that Sammed Shikhar and Ayodhya
are two main Teerth Kshetras, existence if these two is parallel
to the existence of Universe, means immortal. All the Teerthankaras
born at Ayodhya and attain salvation from Sammed Shikhar. But
due the effect of Hundavsartpiniee Kaal, there was the birth
of only five Teerthankaras at Ayodhya
and salvation if 20 Teerthankaras from Sammed Shikharji. In
addition, infinite number ascetic saints/munies also attained
salvation from here by practicing deep penance and meditation.
In ancient texts number of munies attaining salvation from the
particular places of Teerthankara’s salvation is being
described which is in millions and billions.
This is the only reason that when a devotee starts pilgrimage
for Sammed Shikharji, his heart and mind gets filled with great
enthusiasm, joy and ingenuous devotion towards Teerthankaras.
Impact of pilgrimage of infinite ascetic’s salvation places
is such that an ocean of devotion evades in the heart of pilgrims.
Pandit Dhyanatraiji has written in his ‘Pooja’ (Poem
of worship) if one goes for adoration of Sammed Shikharji once
in his life, he does not go in lives of animal and in the hell.
According to ethics if a person adorates Sammed Shikharji engaging
his full mind and heart (i.e. with full devotion), he attains
salvation in maximum 49 lives of his near future and thus he
gets free from worldly affairs, affection and aversion. This
all happens by thinking about the work of Teerthankaras their
life free from worldly affairs, their penance and meditation,
by thinking about the preaches they delivered in Samavsharan
and ultimately applying their education and principles in ones
life by accepting ascetism.
 This
way this Kshetra is highly sacred. Due to sacredness, so many
cruel animals living here in the forest like lion tiger etc.,
never harm to pilgrims even while coming in front of each other.
The absence of natural cruel in the heart of violent animals
and fearlessness in the mind of pilgrims, is due to the effect
of this great Teerth.
This is the only the efficacy of Sammed Shikharji that from
the ancient times so many Kings, Acharyas, Bhuttarakas and Shravakas
came here with vast groups of devotees for pilgrimage with the
purpose of self welfare and due to the devotion towards Teerthankaras
and ascetic saints who attained salvation from here.Description
in Ethics: According to Jain Texts Ist Teerthankara Bhagwan
Adinath (Rishabhdev) attained salvation from Kailash Parvat,
12th Teerthankaras Bhagwan Vasupujya from Champapuri, 22nd Teerthankara
Bhagwan Neminath from Girnar Parvat, and last 24th Teerthankara
Bhagwan Mahaveer from Pavapuri, remaining twenty (20) Teerthankaras
attained salvation from Sammed Shikharji.
