Re-stablish Bhagwan Shri Adinathji Partimaji in JCNC Temple

Jai Jinendra!

Pratimaji issue has been lingering around for last several months and has not been resolved yet. We have expressed our views and common desire for re-establishing this 4 inch, metal pratimaji of bhagwan Aditnathji back to the gabhara with right vidhi and vidhan but unfortunately our voices have not been heard.

We, the JCNC community members have, worshipped the idol by performing daily prakshal, pooja and abhishek for over 7 months and the religious rituals of the highest order are more than enough reasons for the pratimaji to be poojniya.
The idol of veetragi teerthrankar bhagwan is the most sacred and respectable for all of us. Even if a paper has a sketch of our bhagwan, we take utmost care in possessing and respecting the paper. We teach our kids to carry the pathshala books with respects but our poojniya pratimaji is not getting proper respect.
It is our own JCNC pratimaji, donated by one of the senior member of the community. Why should we have our pratimaji locked? The idols are for worshipping and what value do we get by keeping the pratimaji locked?
Should an internal JCNC organizational issue be responsible for playing around with the feelings of the JCNC community members? Is it fair governance that a pratimaji is removed from gabhara and put in a locked place? The idols in our temple should be treated with the utmost caution, respect and honor.
If we cannot find a respectable place for our 4 inch poojniya pratimaji in our temple, how can we fulfill dreams of a jain temple in every city of Northern California where jinvani is practiced and preached for every soul to progress on the path of moksha.

I therefore sign the petition to bring the Pratimaji out of the locker without any further delay and establish it in a proper place in the temple where we can respectfully, conveniently and comfortably perform daily worshipping as per our jain tradition.
