Parshvanath Padmavati Mandir Dobh
This miraculous event was astonishing, as she had fully recovered without any medical treatment within just 13 days.
Introduction
Chintamani Parsvanath Padmavati Jain Mandir and Ashram is located in Dobha Teja Majra, about 8 kilometres from the city of Rohtak in Haryana. This is the only temple in Haryana where the deities are Digambar, but the founder is Shwetambar. The construction of the temple was initiated by the Up-Parivartini Mahasadhvi Shri Ramesh Kumari Ji’s disciple, Vani Bhushan Mahasadhvi Shri Suruchi Ji, Tapradhika Mahasadhvi Shri Rajesh Ji and Jyotish Martand Jyotishacharya Dr. Sadhvi Mahaprag Ji.
Before the temple's construction, the site was barren land. In 1993, when the land for the temple was being surveyed, Mahasadhvi Shri Suruchi Ji, upon visiting the location, decided that this would be the place to build the temple. The temple has hosted two Panchkalyanak (consecration ceremony) so far: the first in 2016 with the Shwetambar tradition and the second in 2019 with the Digambar tradition.
In the temple, the Mool Vedi (main altar) features the idol of the Moolnayak (principal deity), Shri Parshvanath Bhagwan, along with the idols of Shri Shantinath Bhagwan, Shri Neminath Bhagwan, Shri Adinath Bhagwan and Shri Mahavir Bhgwan. All these idols are considered very auspicious and it is believed that their influence fulfils the wishes of devotees. Outside the Garbh Grah (sanctum sanctorum) of the temple, there are also idols of Mata Padmavati and Bhairav Dev, who are highly revered in the region. Before the temple was built, the idols of Bhagwan Jinendra were enshrined in a room. Later, a beautiful temple was constructed, and the idols were established there.
In 1993, Mata Ji was suffering from cancer and her condition became so dire that the doctors had given up hope. However, Mata Ji's guru instructed her to chant a guru mantra dedicated to Shri Parshvanath Bhagwan and Mata Padmavati. Despite her poor health, Mata Ji continued to chant the mantra in her mind, praise Bhagwan and made a vow that if she were to recover from this crisis, she would build a temple in His honour. By the grace of Bhagwan Parshvanath, Sadhvi Ji recovered completely within a short period and she decided to fulfil her vow by constructing the temple.
Atishay Katha
In 2015, when the idols were brought to the temple, everyone was concerned about how they would conduct the Panch Kalyanak ceremony here, given that there wasn't a significant Jain community in the area. After some consideration, everyone agreed that it would be better to conduct the Panch Kalyanak for these idols in Ranila Ji. Preparations were made to take the idols to Ranila Ji, but due to the Jat reservation agitation, the idols couldn't be transported there at the last moment. Later, a plan was made to take these idols to the Delhi Panch Kalyanak, but due to some reasons, the idols couldn't be taken there either. Finally, in 2016, the Panch Kalyanak ceremony for all the idols was conducted here. In the Panch Kalyanak ceremony, Sudhir Jain and his wife Shikha Jain were chosen to portray the parents of Jinendra Bhagwan. It is said that before the Panch Kalyanak, Shikha Jain visited the temple and offered her prayers. She felt as though someone dressed in white was meditating and watching her. The very next day, she was bestowed with the honour of becoming the mother of Jinendra Bhagwan in the Panch Kalyanak ceremony. This was considered a divine sign indicating that she was destined to be the mother of Jinendra Bhagwan during the ceremony. After the idols were enshrined in the temple, it is said that every Sunday evening after the aarti, the Nag Devta would appear. People from the surrounding areas also reported seeing Nag Devta. Various colourful snakes have been seen around the temple. Once, a young girl from the neighbourhood was playing near the temple premises and saw a snake. She started screaming loudly. Hearing her screams, people nearby quickly rushed to the spot. They saw a snake that was black on the underside and white on the top. However, by the time others reached the spot, the snake had already disappeared. Even after this incident, many snakes have been seen around the temple, but they have never harmed anyone. It is said that white and yellow snakes reside in the temple, and there is a seven-foot-long snake with a mottled pattern. The snake's shed skin is still preserved in the temple. In the year 2020, Acharya Anand Muni Maharaj Ji visited the area. During his visit, Mata Ji was narrating the story of the snake to Maharaj Ji. Upon hearing the story, Maharaj Ji expressed a wish, saying, "It would be nice if I could also have a snake's shed skin. Could you give me one of these?" Mata Ji replied, "Maharaj Ji, this skin was the first one we found at the temple, which is why we have kept it safely here. I can't give you this one, but we do find skins from time to time. The next time we find one, I will certainly give it to you." After this, Maharaj Ji continued his journey to Rohtak. The very next morning, a white snake's shed skin was found in the premises next to the temple. That same day, Mata Ji delivered the shed skin to Maharaj Ji. There is an incident involving Jyotisacharya Dr. Sadhvi Mahaprag Ji. One evening, she suddenly developed a severe headache and lost both her voice and memory. The next morning, all the Sadhvis learned that Mahaprag Mataji had lost her memory and could no longer speak. Although Sadhvi Mahaprag Ji was physically healthy, she was unable to speak. Everyone advised her to see a doctor. However, since Jain saints do not use medical treatment, Mataji wrote on a piece of paper, "Wait until June. If there is no improvement by then, you can take me to the hospital." Because she had lost her memory, she had also forgotten the Namokar Mantra and other religious rituals. She would perform all her devotional activities in the temple by observing the other Sadhvis. One day, the Sadhvis called out to her repeatedly, but she did not respond. All the Sadhvis went to her room and found Sadhvi Mataji sitting with her head resting on a nearby table. As soon as they touched her, she fell to the ground, and her entire body became cold. The Sadhvis immediately began to rub her hands and feet and prayed to the Bhgwan. Suddenly, she regained consciousness and started speaking as she had before. She said, "I remember everything now." Her memory had fully returned, just as before. She recited the mantras, hymns, and Icha Yami Patha (a Jain prayer) for everyone.
“This miraculous event was astonishing, as she had fully recovered without any medical treatment within just 13 days.”
