    Aashapuran parshwanath story

    5 months ago 90

    Here is a simple version of the Aashapuran Parshwanath story:

    • In ancient times, the village Nun (Noon) in district Sirohi (Rajasthan) was a very prosperous Jain city.
    • The Jain Sangh there built a beautiful temple of Bhagwan Parshwanath around Vikram Samvat 1100.
    • In this temple, the Mulnayak (main idol) is a 43 cm white idol of Bhagwan Parshwanath, seated in Padmasan, with a canopy of 7 serpent hoods above His head.

    Because of the special grace experienced here:

    • Devotees observed that by doing shraddha-bhakti (faithful worship) of this idol, their “āshā” (wishes / hopes) were often fulfilled.
    • It is also believed that worship of this seven‑hooded Parshwanath removes seven main fears of life (like fear of death, disease, loss, enemies, etc.).
    • Due to this continuous experience of wish‑fulfilment, the idol became known as “Aashapuran Parshwanath” –
    meaning Parshwanath who fulfills (puran) the hopes (asha) of true devotees.

    Over time:

    • The surrounding villages became deserted, and today almost no Jains live there, but the tirth still remains alive through faith and occasional visits.
    • An annual fair is held there every year on the 10th day of the dark half (Krishna Paksha) of the month of Paush.
    • The tirth is managed by Shri Kalindra Jain Sangh, and pilgrims reach there mostly from Sirohi Road railway station by bus or private vehicle.

    Spiritually, the message of Aashapuran Parshwanath is:

    • Have firm faith (shraddha),
    • worship with purity of mind and non‑violence,
    • and do not treat Bhagwan as a mere “wish‑machine”,
    • but as a guide on the path of Samyak Darshan, Samyak Jnan, Samyak Charitra.

    Then, outer “wishes” and inner peace both get fulfilled in the right way.
