Answer

According to traditional Jain cosmology, sacred places and worldly structures are not permanent in the same form forever. In Jain Dharma, time moves through vast cycles of Utsarpini and Avasarpini, and conditions of the world change greatly from one era to another.

However, I cannot state as a definite scriptural fact that “after this kaal ends, Shikharji Pahad will go down into the earth” unless it is clearly established in accepted Jain tradition.

Explanation

Shikharji, also called Sammed Shikharji, is one of the holiest Jain tirths because many Tirthankars attained moksha from there.

Jain teachings do say that:

• The world goes through great changes over time.
• Different time periods have different spiritual and physical conditions.
• Even sacred places may not remain accessible or visible in the same way forever.

But specific claims like a particular mountain “going down into the earth” should only be accepted if supported by authentic Jain scriptures or reliable traditional sources.

Spiritual Understanding

For a Jain, the deeper point is not fear about what may happen to a place physically, but reverence for the tirth and the inspiration it gives us.

Shikharji reminds us of:

• Renunciation
• Tapasya
• Samyak Darshan
• The path to moksha

Takeaway

Shikharji is extremely sacred in Jain Dharma, but the specific idea that it will definitely go down into the earth after this kaal ends should not be stated as fact unless clearly verified within accepted Jain tradition.
