Akbar with Shri HIrviyatsuri (part 2 of Jainism). He wanted his horoscope read by his disciples, and Akbar was surprised of the Jain traditions and how relevant they were to people. For example, Jains dont walk on land with cloth on, so ants dont die and when Akbar removed the carpet, there were ants on the bottom;thus he got most of the carpets removed when Hiriviyatsuri walked.Akbar came from his throne and bowed down to him(as shown in image). As mentioned in the other post on Jainism of Akbar banning animal slaughter, he also freed birds from the cages per the saints request. Also got his horoscope read, and when the Saint died Akbar gave 100 acres of land for his funeral.

Hey,

I am not sure, but that is little to no importance. As the point is he was a spiritual person who saw the Divine being in every religion. Truly a realized soul he was.:)

Great post and interesting to know Akbar's interaction with Jainism. Now, Akbar ordered a stop on the killing of cows. Was that related to Jainism or Hinduism. Any pictures relating to it?

Anyway great to see you back . My face lights up when I see the Brown princess active and posting another of her beautiful pictures.
