like navhanda parshwanth pratimaji was joined on their own or it was joined by some human bieng or those fragments joined on their own by the power of parshwanath bhagwan
Answer
In Jain tradition, such events connected with sacred Pratimajis are generally understood with deep faith as the result of the divine spiritual influence, punya, and adhisthayak devs connected with the Tirthankar Bhagwan.
For Navkhand Parshwanath Pratimaji, if the tradition says that the broken fragments joined again, devotees understand it as a miraculous event connected with Shri Parshwanath Bhagwan’s spiritual power and the protection of dev-devīs.
However, we should be careful: Jain Dharma does not teach that a Tirthankar personally performs worldly miracles after attaining moksha. A Siddha Bhagwan is beyond all worldly activity.
Explanation
In Jain philosophy:
- Tirthankars after moksha are Siddha Bhagwans. They do not act, intervene, or perform miracles.
- Miraculous events around temples or idols are usually understood as arising through punya, karmic causes, or the work of adhisthayak devs and devīs.
- Devotees may express it devotionally as “Parshwanath Bhagwan’s power,” meaning the sacred influence of Bhagwan and the faith surrounding Him.
So, if the fragments of Navkhand Parshwanath Pratimaji were joined, it should not be understood as Parshwanath Bhagwan physically coming and joining them with His hands. Rather, Jain understanding would see it as a wondrous event connected with the spiritual greatness of Bhagwan, the punya of devotees, and divine protection.
Spiritual Understanding
The deeper message is not only the miracle itself, but the faith it inspires:
- Respect for Tirthankar Bhagwan
- Strengthening of samyag shraddha
- Devotion toward Jinendra Bhagwan
- Reminder of the power of punya and pure bhav
Takeaway
From a Jain viewpoint, we may devotionally say it happened by the grace or influence of Shri Parshwanath Bhagwan, but philosophically, a liberated Tirthankar does not perform actions. Such events are understood through punya, devs, and the sacred spiritual power associated with Bhagwan.
