Petition against SANTHARA BAN

Supreme Court should consider the intricacies behind this religious tradition. Santhara cannot be equated with Suicide!

Please ban this as entire JAIN RELIGION is based on this Sallekhna / Santhara concept ..!!

Santhara is the purest form of attaining death. This is the fundamenal right in Jainism which is followed from several thousand years.

Santhara or Samadhi maran is a final goal of any Sdhak, muni, or any spritual student. In Santhara sadhak wants to leave this body or encounter the death with supreme concisious stage without any fear, hate, frustation or lure of heavon. Santhara is a process to elivate the soul and purify it from all sins and past karma. Hope you realize the purpose of Santhara and cmparision it with sucidie is illogical and ban on santhara is liks snatching the final goal right of any spritual sathak muni. Kamal

High court decision is against Jain principles. We request this decision to be reverted back.

Santhara is not a suicide; it is a willingness of self

Santhara is being practiced by self will without any pressure since thousands of years

This should be lifted, its a wrong judgement.

Ban imposed by Rajasthan high court does not make sense and has been put up without understanding the importance of it in Jainism. No one forces it to anyone to take fast. its individual rite not to let others face trouble due to you.

Requesting to government and HC over rethink on the decision to ban santhara practice following by our jain monks who are purest people on earth and perfect example of human being in this century. There is no killing and suicidal tendency involved in it. Jain monks who has been following this tradition for a very long time by (centuries old) embracing the end of life with happiness and in full conscience, rather than dying with deceases or some pain. And it is not like they just end thier lives in vain but they lived thier lives with peace, non-violence ,try to achieve the path of nirvana. So people who dont the back ground of it and see the difference in suicide which person commits in anger or agony and on contrary, santhara in which jain monks are embracing the death with happiness smile on face after lived enough life with non violence and find happy ending for thier soul. They are not being forced by anyone but just doing thier own soul free from thier bodies after certain age or whenever they realize its the correct time. Even in the process of santhara, jain monks are not hurting themselves as person do while commiting suicide but they slowly slowly leave the things which makes our body to survive on earth. Thank you!

I support sathara.... Hum aajazd bharat me azaad nagrik hai Hume apne tarike se jeene aur apne dharm ka palan kerne ka pura adhikaar hai

Dear PM Sir, This question is certainly raised by people who do not understand the process nor the religious aspects. If this is questionable then even fasting should also be banned.

I am against the Rajasthan court rule. This is a part of jain religion since centuries and it can compare with suicide. In Jainism people opt for it when they are at last stage and for monk when our higher guru feel their is time of death they leave food and water. If you see the fact people can live without food and water for so long but during of santhara or salekhna is never long because it is done only when you are going to die.

सल्लेखना आत्महत्या नहीं है 1⃣यह निष्प्रतिकार-मरण की विधि है। अर्थात् जब तक अहिंसक इलाज़ संभव हो, पूरा इलाज़ कराया जाये। और जब मेडिकल-साइंस के अनुसार कोई अहिंसक-इलाज़ संभव नहीं रहे, तब रोने-धोने की बजाय शांत परिणामों से आत्मा और परमात्मा का चिंतन करते हुए जीवन की अंतिम साँस तक अच्छे संस्कारों के प्रति समर्पित रहने की विधि का नाम सल्लेखना है। अतः यह आत्मवध नहीं है। अपितु धैर्य पूर्वक अंतिम-समय तक जीवन को ससम्मान जीने की कला है। 2⃣सल्लेखना शब्द में 2 पद हैं। सत्+लेखना। सत्=अच्छाई,और लेखना=विचार/चिंतन करना। इसका सीधा-सरल अर्थ है कि अंत समय में किसी के भी प्रति बुरी भावनाएं नहीं रखीं जाएँ। यदि किसी से कोई बुराई जीवन में रही भी हो, तो उसे माफ़ करके मात्र अच्छे विचारों और संस्कारों को हम अपने मन में स्थान दें। इससे लोगों के मन से बुराई एवम् दुश्मनी / बैर आदि की भावनाएं दूर होंगी। वह व्यक्ति स्वयं भी हलके मन से प्रसन्नचित्त होकर अपनी अंतिम-यात्रा को सफल कर सकेगा और समाज में भी बैर/बुराई से होने वाले बुरे प्रभाव कम होंगे। इससे राष्ट्र के विकास में स्वस्थ वातावरण मिल सकेगा। और वह व्यक्ति भी अपने अंतिम समय में BP/TENSION/शुगर आदि की समस्याओं से कम से कम परेशान रहेगा। अतः सल्लेखना एक वैज्ञानिक एवम् मनोवैज्ञानिक विधि है ।

Yes, it's true

Against the order
