Historic decision of  Digambar Shwetambar Jain unity was taken yesterday. Jain history will remember the day of June 12, 2013 when Sri Jain Shwetambar Khartar Gachchh Sangh, Jaipur and Muni Tarunsagar Chaturmas Samiti together got a grand success. Digambar Jain saint Muni Tarunsagar and Shwetambar Jain orator saints Mahopadhyay Lalitprabhsagar and Chandraprabh Sagar had agreed for a joint Chaturmas!!

Congratulations!!

It is a great decision and will have a tremendous positive effect on Jain unity. Both  Sri Jain Shwetambar Khartar Gachchh Sangh, Jaipur and Muni Tarunsagar Chaturmas Samiti  had been working for a joint Chaturmas for last three- four months. There were several meetings, discusions and deliberations among various Jain communities including Digambar, Sthanakvasi, Terapanth, Tapagachchh and Khartar Gachchh regarding a joint Chaturmas.

Prominent Shravaks of all these communities worked hard and finally both the groups of Jain monks were came to a point of agreement. Both the committee members yesterday met Muni Tarunsagar (Digambar Jain saint) at Ajmer and Muni Lalitprabhsagar and Chandraprabh sagar (Shwetambar Khartar Gachchh monks) at Jodhpur and resolved all the issues.

As a result of final agreement monks of both the groups will enter in the Pink city (Nagar Pravesh) on July 14, 2013. The procession will start from Ramniwas garden and will reach to Manak (Badi) Choupad where both the groups will spread message of Jain unity.

There will be joint daily Pravachan of all three monks at Investment ground, Rambagh circle commencing from July 21. The lecture series will be continued till September 1. Paryushan Parv of Shwetambar Jain will be observed thereafter between September 2 and 9. Daslakshan Parv of Digambar Jain will be observed between September 9 and 18. The organizing committee will organize Samuhik Kahamapana (Forgiveness day) on September 19.

We, members of all Jain communities in Jaipur are grateful to Digambar Jain saint Muni Tarunsagar and Shwetambar Jain orator saints Mahopadhyay Lalitprabhsagar and Chandraprabhsagar for their greatness. We believe that rest of the Jain Sangh elsewhere in the world will be inspired to copy the event.

It is worth noted that all these three monks are great orators and attract large crowds in their sermons. Both Jain and Non-Jains used to come to listen them.

Joint Chaturmas of Swetambar and Digambar Jain saints expected

Both Digambar and Shwetambar Jain societies in Jaipur are trying to have a combined Chaturmas.

Great Jain orator saints Lalitprabh Sagar and Chandraprabh Sagar have agreed to observe their Chaturmas 2013 in Jaipur organized by Sri Jain Shwetambar Khartar Gachchh Sangh. Similarly 

 Digambar Jain Muni Tarunsagar has also been observing his Chaturmas in Jaipur.

Manak Kala, convener, Tarunsagar Chaturmas Samiti and Jyoti Kothari Secretary, Khartar Gachchh Sangh met Muni Tarunsagar at Ajmer yesterday to discuss joint Pravachan of both Digambar and Swetambar Jain saints. Swetambar Jain monks Lalitprabh Sagar and Chandraprabh Sagar are also in favor.

Discussion with Muni Tarunsagar yielded a positive outlook and both the Sangh in Jaipur are working on unity. We are hopeful of a historic Chaturmas in Jaipur where both Swetambar and Digambar saints will sit in an united platform. All of these saints are capable of attracting huge crowd even in their individual capacity. Thousands of people used to hear them wherever they speak. They attract crowd from Jain and non-Jain communities breaking barriers of cast, creed and religions.

We can just imagine, what can be happened when all these three orators will sit together. There is a vast Jain population (Swetambar and Digambar both) in Jaipur. This Jain population amalgamated with other communities will create very large audience. We can hope for more than 25,000 spectators in the sermons between July 21 to September 1 at Dashara Maidan, Adarshnagar area in Jaipur.

All necessary permissions from the administration is already taken. Khartar Gachchh sangh is all set to arrange these speeches. All of you are cordially invited.
