Glory of Girnar
There are tiny concealed wells on Girnar which are invisible to the common man and are capable of converting matter into gold and fulfilling all the desires of the pilgrims.The soil of this energetic land, when combined with oil or ghee and burnt in fire becomes gold. However, this is possible only under the guidance of a knowledgeable person.
All types of seasonal flowers bloom throughout the year in the Bhadrashal forest. These forests are filled with sweet water, fragrant flowers and fruits,and have become a play ground for the Indra (head of celestial gods and goddesses).
All living creatures residing on the peaks of Girnar-be it in water, earth or in the sky attain salvation in 3 lives. The trees and minute organisms in the soil, water, air and fire also gradually pave their way towards salvation.
People who donate their wealth, earned through legitimate means on this great land attain all sorts of wealth and luxuries in their future lives.
Noble, elevated souls who perform penance even for a day in Girnar become worthy of being served by the celestial gods and goddesses, men and women.
Anybody who fasts here for a day (upvas), for 2 days (chath), for 3 days (attham) and so on is blessed with all happiness and pleasures and eventually attains salvation.
Pilgrims coming to Girnar and worshipping Lord Neminath achieve the highest happiness of salvation in a short time. Those who cannot come to Girnar, but contemplate on Girnar with pure thoughts, even sitting at home, achieve complete liberation in their fourth life.

A person who showers the idol of Lord Neminath with water from Gajpadkund, after taking bath with the same water purifies his soul and frees it from sins and vices.
