History

The Origins of Aradhana-Dham:

In pursuit of inner peace and spiritual fulfillment, Vaghjibhai envisioned a grand temple dedicated to Jainism and Lord Jineshwara at Aradhana Dham. Recognizing the profound significance of such spiritual sanctuaries in aiding one's spiritual journey, he sought blessings from the revered Shri Mahasenvijayji Maharaj. However, fate dealt a tragic blow as Pujyashri’s mortal form also departed. Yet, his divine influence from the heavens played a pivotal role in the establishment of the sacred Halar Tirth. In the auspicious year of 2043, during the month of Ashadha, Vaghjibhai laid the foundation stone of Halar Tirth under the esteemed guidance of Acharya Dev Shrimad Vijay Pradyotansuriswarji Maharaj and the revered Panyas Pravar Shri Vajrase Vijayji Maharaj.

The Genesis of Aradhana Dham:

As time unfolded, Shri KundKundvijay Maharaj ascended to become Acharya Shrimad Vajay Kund-Kund Suriswatji Maharaja. Vaghjibhai honored him greatly in Vadaliashihan, marking a momentous occasion. Here, Vaghjibhai revealed his elder brother's aspiration to establish Ashray-Dham for the elderly and retired members of their community. Though his brother's dream remained unfulfilled in his lifetime, Vaghjibhai sought blessings to realize it swiftly. Pujya Acharya-Dev Shrimad-Vajay Kund-Kund Suriswarji Maharaja and Pujya Muni Shri Mahasenvijayji Maharaj Saheb bestowed their blessings upon him.

Honoring Ancestral Legacy:

During a time of dire need in Chhanua, where every household was afflicted by food scarcity, Vaghjibhai, Dada Raymalbhai, and Rajabhai (Meghjibhai’s father), embarked on a compassionate mission. They visited every household, offering grains to those in hunger, with the condition that they return the favor once they were able to. This act of kindness alleviated the suffering of many. Tragedy struck when Acharya-Dev Kund Kund Suriswarji fell ill in Jamkhanbhalia. In his final moments, he urged Vaghjibhai Nangpar to prioritize virtuous deeds without delay. Inspired by this profound message, Vaghjibhai acquired land for Aradhana-Dham as per the guidance of Shri Mahasen Vijayji Maharaja. Thus, he commenced the construction of a grand complex known as 'Aradhana Dham', alongside establishing the 'Halari Visha Oswal Panjrapore' for the welfare of numerous animals.
