The latest victim of the growing hate for all things related to #Dharmic faiths. After attacking or co-opting all number of #Hindu traditions, it's now the turn of a micro-minority : the #Jain faith and being #vegetarian in general. SouthAsian vegetarians be warned! 1/n

During the public comments section of the @SeattleCouncil meeting on 2/14, supporters of the proposed #Caste ordinance turned their ire on the "militant vegetarianism" of #Jains. Hear the sound byte to understand the outright hate being mainstreamed!
Ironically the long and ancient tradition of #vegetarianism among SOME #Hindus, #Jains, #Sikhs and #Buddhists is under fire-even as western society as a whole discovers the benefits of a #plantbased diet and #MeatLessMonday proliferates. 3/n

Rulers of Hoysala Dynasty were #Jains till King Vishnuvardhana aka Bitti Deva. In 12th century CE, Ramanujacharya who migrated to #Karnataka from Chola Kingdom converted many into Vaishnavism, including Bittideva whose name he changed to Vishnuvardhana after conversion.

However, his primary queen Shantala Devi remained a devout Jain & built a number of artistic Jain temples in the Hoysala Empire. The frequent attacks on #Jains by Vaishnavas eventually lead to migration of Jains from the capital Halebidu to places like Kalya, Sankighatta etc

Recently, while ASI was cleaning the fort, a cave temple was re-discovered that belonged to the #Jains. This site has been occupied since 100 BCE. Around 6th century CE, Devagiri emerged as an important upland, along caravan routes going towards western & southern India.

The historical fortress was initially built around 1187 by the first Yadava king Bhillama V. It was the capital of the Yadava dynasty (9th-14th century CE). In 1327, Muhammad bin Tughluq of Delhi Sultanate transferred his capital to Devagiri & renamed it 'Daulatabad'

Construction of Qutub Minar "victory tower" begun by Qutb-ud-din Aibak to mark his victory over Rajput Jains, was finally completed by Firoz Shah Tughlaq in 1368 AD. Apart from this, other structures include Quwwat ul-Islam Masjid, Alai Darwaza, Alai Minar & the Iron pillar

Construction of the Quwwat ul-Islam masjid started in 1193 CE by Aibak. Acc to a Persian inscription on the inner eastern gateway, it was built with parts taken by destruction of 27 #Jain temples built during the reign of Tomaras & Prithviraj Chauhan.

It occurred during the time of a Jain Pandya King & Shaivite monk Sambandar who converted him. His queen Mangayarkkarasiyar & minister Kulachirai Nayanar both were staunch Shaivites. Koon Pandiyan had ordered the impalement of 8000 #Jains.

Although the legend is still debated, temples have customs, sculptures & paintings of the massacre. During the annual festival of Meenakshi temple, effigies were impaled on sticks & taken around as part of a ritual called Samanar Madam Adakkal. The ritual was stopped in 1974.

"Nutan Varsh Abhinandan"
We have heard of Vikram Samvat, Saka era, but how many #Indians know of one of the oldest calender system called Vir/Veer Nirvan Samvat?
Vir Nirvan Samvat is a calendar era beginning on 7th Oct 527 BCE. It commemorates Nirvan of Mahavir swami, the 24th #Jain Tirthankar. It is one of the oldest system of chronological reckoning which is still used by #Jains. On 21st Oct 1974, 2500th Nirvan Mahotsav was celebrated.
The earliest text to mention 527 BCE as the year of Lord Vardhaman Mahaveer's Nirvan is Yati Vrishabha's 'Tiloya Pannatti' (6th century CE). The relationship between the Veer & Saka era is given in 'Titthogali Painnaya' and 'Dhavalaa' by Acharya Virasena.

They say they don't know why but their ancestors also never ate it so even they don't.
Many sarak jains don't even use words like kaatna (cut) maarna etc.

Humility’ or ‘Not to be Proud’ is the character of this Dharma. To think that all my worldly glamour, my own body, higher caste, strength, worldly knowledge etc. will definitely destroy one or the other day then why to be proud of these?
Thus considering all the worldly possessions like a dream one becomes fully humble or modest to proceed long on the eternal path of liberation.

In Jainism, one definite path to attain liberation (moksha) is prescribed. The prescribed threefold path consists of the three jewels
