      2) Useful Information on Girnar

      Tuesday, July 12, 2016 -  Ashadh Sud 8 was Shri Neminath Bhagwan's Nirvan Kalyanak. On this auspicious day Shri Neminath Prabhu went to Moksha from the 5th Shikhar located on the mountain of Girnar. 

      We have attached few pages from "Sau Chalo Girnar Jaiae"; a book written by Shri Hemvallabh M.S.  These few pages highlights the importance of Girnar that most of us are unaware of. 
      Spending less than 10 minutes to read these facts might inspire and bring many positive things to the reader.For those who cannot do Girnar Yatra in person one thing you can do is set aside an hour, detach from all distractions and do a 'Bhav Yatra" by watching this video that takes you to Girnar virtually, in addition to other rituals you might be doing on the Kalyanak days.

      1) Girnar Bhav Yatra -  https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6tTVyiHX528b9eWVMzEytg-rrTDuhtgX  
      2) Girnar 99 Prakari Pooja CD    https://www.dropbox.com/sh/r0erqssixzrp99g/AABHMaTuhk47Zgp4HPaA0Nsia?dl=0   

      This Pooja is written by Shri Hemvallabh M. S.  It includes lot of details and history about Girnar. Listening to it with closed eyes without interruptions will take you really close to Girnar no matter where you are!!!!
