Whisper “Micchami Dukkadam” at the serpent canopy – locals say the hoods shimmer in reply.

Hon. Commissioner
Municipal Corporation of Greater Mumbai (MCGM)

Subject: Request for Consideration on the Issue of Pigeon Feeding in Mumbai

Respected Sir,

I write to you to express a growing concern regarding the issue of pigeon feeding in Mumbai, which has gained significant attention over the past month. If not addressed thoughtfully, this matter may have wider implications across the country.

It is understood that the Hon’ble Court has taken note of certain health-related concerns associated with pigeon feeding, and indeed, there have been reports of human health being adversely impacted in specific instances.

However, following the decision to restrict pigeon feeding, there have also been numerous instances of pigeons suffering from starvation. This has resulted in pigeons dying on the roads, thereby creating another public health hazard and raising further concerns from animal welfare groups and citizens alike.

In this context, and with all respect to the judiciary, I would like to respectfully present the concerns shared by Sadhus, animal lovers, and other concerned citizens for your kind consideration:

1. Is pigeon feeding the sole cause of the related health issues, or is environmental pollution a larger contributing factor?

2.Was it appropriate for the MCGM to abruptly halt a long-standing cultural and religious practice of animal feeding, without initiating dialogue with concerned stakeholders to explore viable alternatives?

3.Are there any alternative arrangements being planned for regulated pigeon feeding, or will the restrictions remain absolute?

4.Can a committee of experts be constituted under the supervision of the Hon’ble Court to evaluate the matter comprehensively and suggest sustainable, long-term solutions?

5. In the interim, can designated open spaces such as BKC, Racecourse, Aarey Colony, or Sanjay Gandhi National Park be identified as temporary zones for safe and supervised pigeon feeding?

I am confident that MCGM, as a responsible civic body, will strive to find a balanced and humane solution — one that ensures public health and safety while also safeguarding the lives and wellbeing of birds.

Your urgent attention and a thoughtful resolution to this issue will be deeply appreciated by all concerned citizens.

Thanking you,

Yours sincerely,
Mangal Prabhat Lodha
Cabinet Minister, Maharashtra

हम @RajCMO सरकार से पूछते हैं:
➡️ जैन मंदिर परिसर में अनधिकृत पंडों को घूमने की अनुमति क्यों दी जाती है?
➡️ भंडार में दान किए गए पैसे का क्या किया जा रहा है?
➡️ सरकारी रिकॉर्ड में देवता का नाम गलत तरीके से क्यों दर्शाया जाता है? भगवान आदिनाथ को विष्णु को बताया गया है? @KumariDiya @AbhayShah11 @Harshiniatul @DrSatishPoonia @iChiragPaswan @7376JP @bhushanvshah @arpitsinger

Note: Meat is white—but seems to be red due to blood.
On Bakrid, practice Ahimsa. Do Aayambil, chant Navkar Mantra, and avoid white coloured foods. 📿
Let compassion lead the way. 🕊️🙏

अफ्रीकी देश मोरक्को जिसकी 99% आबादी मुस्लिम है।

वहां कुर्बानी न देने का फैसला किया गया।

सिर्फ दान देके मुबारकबाद देके ईद की खुशियां मनाई जाएगी।

कारण बिल्कुल स्पष्ट है, प्रकृति का कोप । जिसे उन्होंने झेला और स्वीकारा की जीव हत्या पर्यावरण के पक्ष में नहीं - प्राणिन
મોરોક્કો વાળાઓ બધા પશુઓને મારી ને ખાઈ ગયા હવે પોતાને ઘાસ ખાવાનો વારો આવ્યો.
જેમ ચીનમાં બધાજ ગધેડાઓ ને મારી ને ખાઈ ગયા અને દવાઓ પણ બનાવી, પછી પાકિસ્તાનથી ગધેડાઓ આયાત કર્યા, પાકિસ્તાનમાં પણ ગધેડાઓ ની વસ્તી સાવજ ઘટી ગઈ હવે પાકિસ્તાન પોતે જ ગધેડાઓની આયાત કરવા નીકળ્યું છે પણ તેની પાસે પૈસા નથી

सकल जैन संघ के लिए महत्त्वपूर्ण संदेश अभी के समाचार के मुताबिक प. पूज्य आचार्य पुंडरीकरत्न सुरीश्वजी म.सा का दुर्घटना करनेवाले ट्रक ड्राइवर को पुलिसने छोड़ दिया है और उसको गायब कर दिया है। यह बात यह साबित करती है कि दुर्घटना के पीछे कोई बड़ी साजिश है।

After uncovering the rich history of Shikharji, Team Jainik is excited to take you on another Tirth that we unfortunately can't claim as ours—yet it is undoubtedly ours!!

Curious to know more? Watch the reel, share to the maximum and stay tuned for an exploration of another sacred site.

Understanding the Pratikraman Sutras: A detailed thead

As Jains, we are encouraged to perform #Pratikraman twice daily, but many of us don't. With #Paryushan Parva approaching, some may do both Raiya and Devasiya Pratikraman for the 8 days, though it often becomes a technical ritual without understanding the meaning of the sutras. To approach Pratikraman with deeper insight, I’ve shared a brief introduction to all the major sutras recited during Pratikraman.

Pratikraman combines "Prati" (back) and "kraman" (to go) — essentially a journey of #introspection, #confession, and #forgiveness. It involves #repentance for past deeds, self-discipline to avoid future missteps, and a reaffirmation of Jain principles like nonviolence and truthfulness.

True Pratikraman goes beyond mere recitation; it requires heartfelt commitment to personal transformation. Therefore, I urge all to read "Sutra Samvedna Part 1-6" by Sadhvi Shri Prashamitashriji, available on https://t.co/DGcoubfk18 in Hindi and Gujarati, for a comprehensive understanding of each sutra.

Let’s aim to internalize the essence of Pratikraman this Paryushan, moving from Dravya (external) to Bhav (internal) — from mere words to true transformation.
