2 Directions & Parking Shikharji at Siddhachalam 111 Hope Road, Blairstown, NJ 07825, USA (908) Route 80, exit 12. Then, stay on 521 North (Hope Road) for 3 miles from Harley Davidson. Siddhachalam is on the right (111 Hope Road). Exit only from 65 Mud Pond Road. Parking on August 11 and 12 will be in front of Guruji s Cabin inside the ashram. Please follow posted signs. About Siddhachalam Siddhachalam was founded by His Holiness Acharya Sushil Kumarji in It represents all who believe in the message of the Tirthankars, regardless of sect, religion, race, color or creed. It is spread over 120 acres and comprises temples, facilities for the temporary stay of mendicants and laity, library, community meeting areas, nature and meditation trails, among other facilities. It is also a nature and animal preserve. Siddhachalam is an accredited non governmental organization with the United Nations since 1992.

3 Acharya Sushil Gurve Namah Jai Jinendra, Between 9:07 and 9:13 a.m., on August 11, 2012, adhik bhadra (shravan) vadi nam, in the very auspicious amrit siddhi yog, we shall solemnly perform the first pratishtha of Shikharji at Siddhachalam. That day, and the following day, we shall perform the pratishtha of the other 29 Tonks. In doing so, for the first time in the modern history of our religion, Teerthadhiraj Shikharji would have been replicated to scale, in full. That day, Jains would also become the first religious community in America to have been fortunate to replicate in this country their most important place of pilgrimage. Shikharji at Siddhachalam brings alive Guruji s dream of Siddhachalam as a place of pilgrimage with many temples in homage to the siddha. May he continue to inspire the generations to come as he has inspired us. It has been an intense and profoundly blessed experience for my family and me to have been an instrument of his and your lofty hope and ambition. On behalf of all trustees, volunteers and staff of Siddhachalam, welcome to this grand and timeless celebration of the path of liberation shown by the Tirthankars. Jaipat Singh Jain

61 Shikharji in Jharkhand, India, is the most important place of pilgrimage for Jains. Here, 20 of our 24 Tirthankars of the current avasarpini attained moksha. The project to replicate Teerthadhiraj Shikharji at Siddhachalam began in early 2009 after it was discovered and authoritatively confirmed that the layout of Siddhachalam s 120 acre land substantially mirrors the layout in which Tonks are atop Shikharji. Timeline of the project was: Aug , 2010: Bhoomi Pujan & Khanan Aug. 6 7, 2011: Shilanyas, 29 of 30 Tonks Jul. 15, 2012: Shilanyas, Bhagwaan Parsvanath s Tonk; Bhomiyaji s Temple Bhoomi Pujan Aug : of all Tonks The project was blessed by more than 151 Gacchhadhipatis, Acharyas and other sadhugan from of all sects, and received enthusiastic support worldwide. A yatra of all Tonks commencing and closing at Ganadhar Shri Gautam Swami s Tonk (Tonk #1) is approx. 5.6 miles (9 km.) in Shikharji and 1.97 miles (3.2 km.) in Siddhachalam. The Shikharji at Siddhachalam Tonk is similar to a typical Tonk at Shikharji in terms of size and shape. However, certain Tonks at Shikharji, such as that of Shri Parsvanath Prabhu, Shri Suvidhinath Prabhu and Shri Gautam Swami are markedly different from others. Some differences evolved over time. The Tonks of Shikharji at Siddhachalam face in the same direction as in Shikharji. There are many other points of interesting comparison. For more details, please visit
