CELESTIAL PHENOMENON IN
BHAGWAN MAHAVIR TEMPLE AT KOBA
At seven minutes past two, in the
afternoon of 22nd may every year, rays from sun pass through a small
hole in the roof and fall on the forehead of the idol of Bhagwan Mahavir
installed in the temple at Mahavir Jain Aradhana Kendra, Koba in Gandhi Nagar.
Like the previous 25 occasions, on the same day, this year also, the solar rays
penetrated through the hole and fell on the forehead of the idol just for a few
minutes, causing the forehead to glow intensely and entire room to get
lit, as witnessed by hundreds of devotees, who were present there on this
occasion, chanting the victory of Bhagwan Mahavir. The celestial phenomenon
remained for a few minutes and thereafter the temple room again became dark as
usual. This unique happening has been made possible during the design of the
temple through accurate astronomical and scientific calculations by saints, Sri
Arvind sagar ji and Sri Arunodaya sagar ji, who are the disciples of Jain
Acharya Shri Padam Sagar ji maharaj. This temple was established in the year
1980.
