Acharya Kalyanbodhi Suriji

Lord Parshvanath is the 23rd tirthankar of the jains. He led an exemplary life, full of forbearance. Non violence, self-control and penance are the sterling qualities that he personified. The Śaṅkhēśvara Stōtram is a beautiful hymn devoted to Lord Parshvanath, one of whose images is placed at Shankheshvara Tirthadhama. Those who recite this hymn with deep faith and understanding attain peace and bliss. This hymn was composed by Mahopadhyaya Yashovijayji, a Jain monk of penetrating intelligence who is said to have composed a large number of works sitting at the feet of this image of Lord Parshvanath. This text is based on the philosophy of Jainism.
