The controversy took a new turn when the State Archaeological Department (Rajkot) recently filed a police complaint against illegal constructions at Gorakhnath peak (third Peak). […] Gopalanandji, the president of the All India Sadhu Samaj [Religious Beggar's Association of India], … accused the the Archaeological Department of not listening to the Sadhu Samaj when it had complained regarding illegal constructions at other peaks of the Moun Girnar such as Bhimkund and Gaumukhi Ganga (groups.yahoo.com/group/jainsamachar/message/733 accessed 2005.12.19). White Paper on Jain Unity in Samaj - Need of the Hour: Reasons, Views and Remedies.- … About the Girnar controversy, Mahant Gopalanand and Tansukh Giri said that Jains did not allow Hindus to use the Bhimkund and Surajkund ponds located atop the first peak, where Shwetambar Jains have several shrines. “The Jains simply lock up the shrines and do not let anyone in,- they said. The other side of the story? Jains say they have to seek permission from Hindu sants to worship at their own shrine. Also that some anti-socials prevent them from chanting `Jai Neminath.' Countering this, a Junagadh-based Mahant said, -The Hindu way of worship is different. We cannot allow them to bathe the deity after the morning abhishek is over. This ceremony can be performed only by Mahants.- Jains allege Hindus installed an idol of Dattatreya which was never there before. Though the disputed srine at Girnar involves Digambars, Shwetambars have supported them.

Police have now been posted at the Girnar shrine (AHIMSA TIMES (January 2005, on jainsamaj.org/magazines/specialissue-2004.htm accessed 2005.12.19).rine at Girnar involves Digambars, Shwetambars have supported them.
