                 BLESSING  OF

Holy Mother Pujya Ganini Pramukh Shri    Jnanamati Mataji

I am very glad to note that Dr.Lishk is translating my book tSu Hkwxkksy (Jain Geography) which is itself a collection of my few articles on Jaina Cosmography.

Dr. Lishk is working a lot on Jaina Astronomy. His interest towards ancient Jaina texts of Karnamuyogo section and devotion is worthwhile and I am--quite sure that if he will go more deeply in the Tilloyapannati, Trilokasara, Jambodivapannattisarigho, Lokavibhaga etc., he will find more interesting and scientific results.

My good wishes and blessings are with him for happy religious and devoted life.

A Dynamic Sadhvi-Ganini Pramukh Shri          Jnanamati Mataji

Km. Sarika Jain

We know Ganini Pramukh Shri Jnanamati Mataji by many titles as- Yugpravartika, Charitra Chandrika, Tirthoddharika, Vatsalyamurti, Shrut tirth prakashika, Nyay prabhakar, Vidya Vachaspati, a writer of two hundred scriptures. Aryika Shiromani, holy inspirator of Jambudvip rachna, the supreme sadhvi of Jain society etc.

From today, about 64 years ago, there born a girl in village Tikaitnagar on Sharadpurnima, 22 October 1934. Mother "Mohini" and Father "Chhotetal" were so happy that anybody cannot describe. Her childhood's name was "Maina".

Parheps, you will be understanding that what's means of Maina. Mai+na means, I am not, so when she was only 16 years old she left home and her parents and received kshullika diksha in 1953. chaitra krishna ekam (pS=k d` - 1 ) from Acharya shri Deshbushanji Maharaj at Mahavirji Atishay kshetra.

After this, in 1956 Vaishak Krishna duj, she took Aryika diksha from Acharya Shri Virsagarji Maharaj in Madhorajpura and received a beautiful name- "Jnanamati".

Since than up till now, she has done many great deeds. She wrote about two hundred Holy Scriptures for reading by children and aged people, and in present time she is writing a Sanskrit Tika of

 

 

Shatkhandagam scripture and gave that's name­. "Siddhant Chintamani Tika".

Jambudvip rachna in Hastinapur is made by her inspiration. Now, by her inspiration, many new designed temples were built a. Hastinapur as-Lotus temple, Meditation temple. Om Mandir, Indradhvaj temple, Trimurti temple etc.

Besides it, there are many instruments of entertainment as-Boating. Jnanamati Kala Mandiram, Swinging, equipment of laughing etc.

 

In 1993, Ganini Jnanamati Mataji went to Ayodhya with her sangh. As you know that AYQdhya pilgrimage is the "Shashvat Birthplace" of Tirthankaras. In this era, only five Tirthankaras had. born there-Lord Rishabhdeva, Ajitnath, Abhinandannath, Sumatinath and Anantnath. Reaching there, Ganini Mataji inspired for two new temples-Samavasarana temple and Tischoubisi Mandir and there she got performed the Mahamastakabhishek of Lord Rishabhdeva's 31 feet high idol.

          After it, in 1995, she did mangal vihar to  Mangitungi (ekaxh rqaxh ) Siddhakshetra (maha.) and also there she inspired for Mahamastakabhishek of Lord Munisuvrat and for making a "Sahastra Kut Jinmandir" ( lglzdwV ftu efUnj ).

It's again, she came in Capital Delhi with her sangh and announced for "Choubis Kalpadhrum Mahamandal Vidhan" on ring road (In front of Shantivan). About three thousand devoted participated in this vidhan and felt very happy.

 

After "Choubis Kalpadhrum vidhan", Ganini Jnanamati Mataji told about Samavasarana. By her holy blessings, two chariots (Samavasarana of Lord Rishabhdeva and Airavat Hathi) are moving in all India. Both there chariots started On 22 March 1998 from Red Fort ground, Delhi, On 9th April 1998, India's Prime minister - Shrt Atal Behari Vajpayee instigated these both chariots for moving through out India.

Perhaps, you will be thinking that why Ganini Jnanamati Mataji inspired for Samavasarana Shrivihar?

I tell you, please read carefully! Today it is looked that many text books are advertising that Lord Mahavir was the founder of Jainism, but we know that it is completely wrong thought. Our Jain religion is omnipresent and eternal. So Ganini Mataji made a plan of Samavasarana Shrivihar.

Samavasarana Shrivihar will propagate Ahimasa and vegetarianism in India as per holy, desire of Ganini pramukh Shri  Jnanamati Mataji.

Besides it, Charitra Chandrika Jnanamati Mataji suggested a new scheme-"BHAGWAN RISHABDEVA NATIONAL CONFERENCE OF VICE CHANCELLQRS' ( Hkxoku _"kHknso jk"Vzh; dqyifr lEesyu ) In this function practically all vice-chancellor of universities of India have been invited. A function will be celebrated from 4th October 1998 to 6th October 1998. At last, I do naman in sacred lotus feet of Vatsalya murti Ganini Jnanamati Mataji.
