KRISHNAGIRI

KRISHNAGIRI
Jain dharma consists of 24 theerthankars.In these 24 theerthankars the 23rd theerthankar is considered to be Swami Parshwanath bhagwan. Hence the concept of Shakthipeet basically concentrates on the worship (Mathr upasana or aradhana) of Swami Parshwanath bhagwan. Jain dharma gives importance or prominence to athma sadhana or the inner search (knowing the once true self). Pooja and Bhakthi are just mediums to realize one self and Krishnagiri thirth motive is to make one realize his/her self. Hence the entire motive of Krishnagiri is to project itself to the world as a center or platform for peace and harmony.
