What are the conclusions made by court on Jain claims of Tirupati temple originally belonging to one of the Jain Tirthankaras?

 

What a court will do?

Jains do not have any property rights.

It is greediness to loot the treasures belonging to other religion.

That is the conclusion.

If these money minded banias are genuine, there are orphan Jain abodes in TN longing for their attention.

I have vested interest, I invite all Jains to visit Kazhugumalai, near to Kovilpatti, Sankarankovil and Tirunelveli, and make it a big Jain aboard of Tamil Nadu, famous than Tirumala Tirupati, which also once belong to Tamil Country.

Can Jains make it?

Kazhugumalai and chitraal

Disclosure- I have a vested interest. It may be a surprise, I ador Jainism- for their strict discipline. I visited Dilwara Jain temple, frequented Hatheesingh temple of Dharmanath and never miss visiting Kazhugumalai whenever opportunity arises.

In Kazhugumalai, We can find a Jaina aboard of 8th Century BCE.

I reiterate, Asoka and other Maurya Kings never ruled this region and they were defeated by Pandyas. Obviously these (Kazhugumalai, Chitraal etc) are consturcted by Tamil Pandyas.

The inscriptions state that there are women higher in the monastic order and they travelled to 21 religious places and Kazhugumalai is one.

Thanks to Ettayapuram Zamins of Madurai Naicker Kingdom, a feudatory of Vijayanagara Empire, this place is well maintained till date since 13th century so as maintained by earlier pandya kings.

The irony is that no Jains are visitng this place. It is an architectural marvel.It consisits of a Education centre, Jain Beds and steps to reach the top of the hill.

One will get the same spiritual bliss as that of negotiating Palithana or Samvet Shikar.

Now the twist -

1. Jain temples are managed by private sects and castes with lot of closedness and hatred.

2. When TN made a call, Swetambara sects disowned it.

3.There are two sects within Jainism and Kazhugumalai belongs to Digambaras.

4.Digambaras disowned as locals of present day, are Hindus and Christians and there were no jains. (like present day Tirupati)

5.Finally ASI took over it and maintaining it all expenses.

I wonder, these psedo jains who claim Tirupati and other rich temples as theirs, - What is preventing Jains from other parts to visit this place?

The inscriptions state that there are women higher in the monastic order and they travelled to 21 religious places and Kazhugumalai is one.

On repeated requests, four Jain ascetics have visited Kazhugumalai over 30 years., but none of them ready for keep up of this ancient marvel. They include Vigyashree Mataji, who stayed at Kazhugumalai for Chatrumas. Praveen Sagar Marasaheb and Nirmal Sagarji, also known as Gujarat Kesari, visited in the 1970s and spent the four months of Chatrumasa at Kazhugumalai. In 1985, Vijaymati Mataji visited each village in the region and saw every scattered Jain statue. If they are silent on places like Kazhugumalai what is the motive behind claiming Tirumala Tirupati.

If any one want a visual pilgrimage to Kazhugumalai he can see the below video which will bring the same spiritual bliss as that of Samvit Sikhar and Palithana.
