The path of sevā.
You want to continue the lineage.
Not to receive.
To give back.
Four gurus gave fifty-five years and four lives to one mountain. What they began has not ended. It is waiting for the next hands.
↓ THE LINEAGE
These four gurus gave their lives to Girnar.
Himanshusuri MS
Found Girnar neglected and stayed for fifty years. Eleven thousand five hundred fasts and the Sahasavan temple — the physical foundation everything else rests upon.
Chandrashekhar Vijayji MS
Wrote 289 books, founded Tapovan Sanstha, and then gave Girnar his two greatest disciples. The bridge that holds the lineage together.
Dharmarakshit Suri MS
Trained under Himanshusuri himself and walked Girnar 925 times. Received the flame at the source — and passed it on.
Hemvallabh Suri MS
Three thousand five hundred yatras. Ten thousand Ayambil fasts — and still walking. The living proof that the lineage has not ended.
Each of them heard the same calling you have heard. Each of them asked: what can I do?
The guru chose what his life was suited to give. So do you.
स्वयंसेवा
svayaṃsevā
Volunteer
The physical care of Girnar — the temples, the steps, the pilgrimage infrastructure — depends on people who show up. The Girnar Paryavaran Seva Trust and temple trusts welcome volunteers for restoration, cleaning, and pilgrim support.
Show up with your hands.
दान
dāna
Support
Girnar's four gurus gave wealth, legal skill, and decades of their lives. The tradition of dāna — conscious giving — is part of Jain practice. Supporting the restoration of Girnar's temples and the welfare of pilgrims continues what they began.
Give in the spirit of the gurus.
प्रचार
pracāra
Teach
Tell the story. Help others understand who Neminath was, what the gurus sacrificed, and why this mountain matters. The most powerful sevā is sometimes simply passing the calling forward — to a child, a friend, a community.
Help others hear the calling.

The gurus did not serve because they were obligated.
They served because they had heard something — and could not unhear it.
You have heard it too.
The question now is not whether. The question is: in what form?
There is no rush. The lineage does not demand urgency. It asks only for sincerity, and eventually, for showing up.
