⭐ Dharma Chakra Prabhav Tirth – Complete Guide: History, Importance & Visitor Information

Overview

Dharma Chakra Prabhav Tirth is considered a spiritually powerful place and is believed to be connected with the beginning of a new era of peace, progress and enlightenment. According to Jain beliefs, the influence of Bhasmagraha, which lasted for nearly 2,000 years and its 500-year after-effects, has ended. With the blessings of Prabhu Veer and the start of a positive time period, this divine Tirth is being developed to spread Dharma, awareness, and spiritual upliftment for mankind.

The Tirth is designed as a peaceful spiritual center where devotees can experience inner calm, perform religious rituals, and connect with the values of Jain tradition.

History / Importance

Many years ago, the inspiration for this Tirth began when Param Pujya Muni Shri Jagvallabhvijayji (now Acharya) was staying in Ahmednagar during Chaturmas. Known for his deep meditation (Dhyan), Jap, and Siddhi, he experienced a divine vision on Aso Sud 5 during early morning Jap.

In this vision, Yakshraj Shri Manibhadraji appeared and revealed the arrival of a positive time period for Jinshashan. He emphasized the need to awaken divine energy and guided the monk to take responsibility for establishing the Dharma Chakra Prabhav Tirth systematically and in multiple phases.

Muni Shri Jagvallabhvijayji shared this divine message with his Guru, Param Pujya Shri Vijay Bhuvanbhanusurishwarji Maharaj, who blessed and supported the mission.
With encouragement from the Guru, the first phase began with the release of Mahamangalkari Shri Dharma Chakra Tap, an important spiritual practice mentioned in ancient Jain scriptures. Historical texts were studied, compiled, and published with the help of followers to revive the traditional knowledge of Atishaya Tapa.

Around 11 years ago, as suggested by Shri Manibhadraji, 10 acres of land located near the Mumbai-Nashik highway (12 km from Nashik) was donated by Shri Rajendrabhai and Shri Vilasbhai, sons of Smt. Kantaben Rasiklal Sanghvi, for the construction of this Tirth.

Approximately 9 years ago, the land was sanctified and ceremonially handed over for temple construction by Param Pujya Shri Vijaybhuvanbhanu Surishwarji Maharaj. On the same auspicious day, the ceremony of five Ganveer taking Sanyas was also held.

Later, as part of further spiritual activities, a Chhari Palit Sangh visited Vile Parle (Mumbai), where the Chal Pratishtha of Shri Mantradhiraj Parsh Prabhu was performed. This marked the official beginning of the Tirth construction. The foundation stone of the Jinalaya was laid, and a sacred Padavi Ceremony of Shri Manibhadraji was held in the presence of Param Pujya Shri Vijay Jayshekhar Surishwarji Maharaj.

After these ceremonies, devotees reported several spiritual experiences such as:

  • Arrival of Adhishtayak Dev

  • Appearance of Nagraj (Serpent form)

  • Divine footprints

  • Fulfillment of devotees’ prayers

  • Protection of Shashan (religious order)

  • Relief from difficulties

  • Spiritual energy on the land

Today, the Tirth is nearing completion and is considered a sacred site where divine power is believed to be active, guiding devotees and strengthening Jain values.
