Bhattarakha Swamiji the pontiff of the Shravanabelagola Jain Mutt released the
logo of the Mahamasthakabhisheka - 2006 on 1st November, 2005. Speaking on the occasion and explaining
the logo he said that "a grand Mahamasthakabhisheka WAS held
on 30th March 1910. It will interesting to note that on that occasion an aerial
post was tried by one Mr.G.F.Edwards who sent a message regarding the puja by a
homing pigeon which was received by the Madras Mail Office within three hours
and forty minutes details of which were published in the Jaina Gazettee Vol VI
No. 6. As a memory of this he said the present logo of the
Mahamasthakabhisheka has a pigeon accompanying it". The logo was released as a
part of the 100 days count down of the event.
