PURUSHADANIYA PARSHVANATH PRABHU _/\_

Could not upload anything on blog from start of 2013 & so starting the Year 2013 blogging with a great info about our Purushadaniya Parshvanath Prabhu. If possible do take out your 5 Minutes.

=> At many point of times a question might have arose in our minds that Why is Lord Parshvanath's name most famous & most worshipped in present times?

And most simple, straight & smallest answer to it is ~ "He got "AADEY" Naam Karm due to immense Bhakti of Arihant Parmatma's on their respective Kalyanak's" & YES this is the correct answer BUT

=> Then a question comes that most of "Dev's (demi-God's)" do that then what did Lord Parshva did special & How??

Special was LORD PARSHVA in his previous birth celebrated 500 KALYANAK's by himself being present at Kalyanak Mahotsav.

Now this is what is new & awesome to know. In previous Birth of Lord Parshva, he was in Pranat Devlok i.e. from times of 13th Tirthankar Vimalnath Prabhu till 22nd Tirthankar Neminath Prabhu of this Bharat Kshetra i.e. 10 Tirthankar's.

There are 5 Bharat Kshetra's including this & 5 Airavat Kshetra's so total 10 Kshetra's & 10 Tirthankar's each in all Kshetra's so it means he was in devlok in times of 100 Tirthankar's {(5+5) X 10 each}. 5 Kalyanak's of every Tirthankar so therefore 100 X 5 i.e. 500 Kalyanak's. BUT

=> again a question arises that how could he attend all 500 Kalyanak's as some may have been overlapping each other?

As he was a dev, he used to multiply/clone himself & send a Pratirupp at the place of Kalyanak Mahotsav as in Dev's also there is code of conduct that 1st Abhisek is done by Indra's then Samanik Dev's etc i.e. as per their class.

So Parshva prabhu used to send his pratirupp everywhere which used to stand in queue & then when time of abhisekh used to come, he used to exchange his pratirupp with himself in Original as being a Dev he can travel in time less than blink of an eye. This way, unlike others who may have gone to one or two places or may have sent their pratirupp's, LORD PARSHVA USED TO BE PRESENT HIMSELF IN KALYANAK MAHOTSAV.

For Example at times of 10 Kalyanak's, Lord Parshva used to clone himself in 9 more & every clone used to stand in queue. Wherever turn was about to come in line, he exchanged his clone with himself in original & by this way celebrated all Kalyanak's BY BEING PRESENT HIMSELF.

Special "Thanks" to my friends Rushabh B. Shah (Mumbai), Rushabh Shah (Ahmedabad) & Purvi Shah (Kenya) who have been very helpful in the process of posting of this post.
