JAINISM-14 DREAMS OF TRISHALAMATA-----------!!!

Chaitradasudhi Teras is approaching fast. Followers of Bhagwan Puj. Mahaveer Swami are desperately waiting for the day-13/04/2014 to celebrate Mahaveer Jayanti. For this day, it will be appropriate to discuss 14 dreams of Mata Trishala and their meaning with readers. Bhagwatisutra and explanation (16/06) to it provides information for it. Let us have a glance at these dreams- ------as provided in Shatak. 
Mata Trishala saw following dreams giving hints that one noble soul is coming to her uterus soon who will enlighten whole world.(For the
sake of Truth I must tell here that those dreams were actually seen by real mother "Devananndamata").But since many of  devotees are
unaware of transfer of Bhagwan from her to Trishalamata, so there
is popular perception that dreams seen by as of Trishalamata. one can check "Kaplasutra" second Wachna along with 09/33 and one more
06/16 of Bhagwatiji and 24th chapter of "Aacharangsutra".One can
visit my blog dated 11/05/2020 Real parents of Bhagwan for details
I have not changed the existing popular belief of Jain devotees. Pujya Mahaveerswami stayed first 82 days in womb of Devananda Mata.
With both mothers Bhagwan stayed 9 months and seven+ 1/2 nights. 
1-Entry of elephant- in her mouth-means a soul, capable of  killing all karma as elephant is doing in a war is soon coming to take birth.
2-Ox-is known to take burden just like him ,Mahveer Bhagwan will take burden of Sayyam and achieve salvation within a short life term.
3-Lion-All animals fear the king lion ,similarly all believer of wrong path will fear Bhagwan. Thus, He will teach what is correct faith.
4-Godess Laxmi--Bhgwan will have wealth of  unique Kevaldyan.
5-Garland of flowers-Just like fragrance of flowers -Bhagwan's achievement will spread in all directions of this world..
6-Full moon--just like it, view of Bhgwan will offer pleasantness to viewers. His cool and calm personality will be non matching.
7-Sun--just like it, Bhagwan will spread glory and light with his fast power ( Tap) .He will be gifted with bright and unique aura.
8-Dvwja -Flag---There is always three layers of Dvwaja on head of  each Thirthankar Bhagwan. Flag denotes victory of good over evil. 
9-Full holy pot ( Mangal Kalash)-Just like it, Bhagwan Mahaveer  is full with all virtues which are beyond any kind of words.
10-Padmasarovar-- Birds are playing and respecting this water storage , just like it all God will offer respect to Mahaveerswami.
11--Sea-just like it Bhagwan Mahveer will be. cool calm and quite.
12--Plane or house-just like it Bhagwan is liked by many Gods.
13-Gems-just like it Bhagwan possesses--Samyag- knowledge,faith and conduct. This is the best combination to get salvation.
14--Fire--Just like fire Bhagwan will have a glory on his face and name. He will have a bright and unique un-matching personality.

The Sutra tells 70 types of positive dreams. Out of it 30 dreams are treated as great dreams. On seeing it ,indications of good events are foretold. Thus all those dreams indicated arrival of great soul.
There are Sixty Three best human on earth in this period-known as 
"Shlaghyaniyapurush". The term covers following great souls---.
24-Thirthankars,12- Chakravarty (Shantinathji),09---Baldeo (Ram),
09------ Vaasudeo (Shrikrishna) and 09--------Prativasudeo (Ravan).

Mothers of these great souls could see fourteen to one dreams with varying visibility of dreams depending type of incoming noble soul .
Mother of monks in present times, can see one of such dream.
Dreams are said to be of 5 types---real ,detailed, fear, opposite and
unexplained. We take sleep as to coverage of Darshnavarniya vision 

Karmas. If these Karmas are reduced, we can see the dreams near to truth, The mothers are great who can see such dreams giving birth
to noble souls. Let us reduce Karmas to reach near to Truth. We are
fortunate to have great soul Mahaveerswami as our guide. Let us get engage to maximum in following his path and worshipping him

JAINISM--ARROGANCE----THE AVOIDABLE SIN-------!!!

Some where I read that there are two sentences which are liked most all over the world. First " It is- cheque is attached here with" second one is " Yes, I have told you that ". I fully agree with the observation.
 I have not encountered first for most times but second one I still use frequently. Most of us have weakness for self praise and self's own judgement. We happens to believe that world has yet to witness more visionary person like us. Whenever we find someone in problem-we have number of solutions/suggestions for him based on our own wisdom and ignoring his background. We are ready with solutions.
 It is all together different story that we may not find taker for our offer. When the things goes wrong for him, we express our joy with saying-you know I have told you so but you have not listened. With growing age the joy increases to higher scale with back up of white hair and experience gained over years and salt consumed over those years. It is but natural to grow arrogance out of it over given period .
Actually all of 18 sins are avoidable but this particular sin is easy to avoid if we have a reasonable sense for own achievements so far.
I turned to Jainism to check if  such feeling attracts some sins. 7th sin as per Jainism is Maan or Arrogance. It deprives a soul a good
virtue called simplicity of soul and nature. The influenced soul of
such sin is not ready to look behind I ,me and myself attitude of his.
Bhagwan has in Suyagadandsutra told that any arrogance caused by eight reasons. The causes of such sin is being explained herewith. 
The eight reasons of such arrogance being created  out of pride of   caste. creed. strength out of physical, power based or money based,
 beauty, Tap ( conduct ),knowledge, gain and prosperity. Secondly in
12/01 chapter of Bhagwatisutra. Bhagwan informed Shankh-Shravak
that arrogance ultimately result into increasing soul's life cycles.
 Human nature is very unique--In prosperity he attributes the success to his intelligence and so called hard work. In bad times, he blames luck and world for not recognizing his talent. In reality with accumulated good deeds, we enjoys prosperity and vice versa. Some have unique feeling of being great when compared to balnce masses.

If we live in simplicity then we will reduce less portion of such our positive balance and can have favorable conditions for longer time. One shall be careful not to let prosperity to increase arrogance while one shall not miss learning experience in adverse times. This always shall be a guiding force for betterment of our own personality. 

 Not a single event one can claim that he has done it for first time. We spent so much in weddings or family functions and building bungalows to create impression for status that, no else can arrange it such lavish event and creations except me. Such the message fail to hit the masses because they have attended even big ones earlier. Just make it a point not to give any inferior complex to others so that they try to give up their simple life style engaging in wrong ways in life. I share a story by Gurudeo, Chakravartry is most wealthy and power packed individual among humans. After winning last 6th continent he goes to write his name on a door  with a diamond arrow, He gets surprised when he cound not find a place on it being  having so many names of ex Chakravaties over so many centuries written over there.

 We are sure not to keep all material wealth and beautiful body and face here while saying good bye to this life. As such there shall be no reason for pride. Arrogance cause creation of pride in own self.
Downfall phase in a arrogant person is difficult to pass through while such phase a simple person can pass easily with support from family and society. Not bending to power and wealth of others is self respect but to have pride for possessions is arrogance. Be humble----- it is a message for humanity. In human history we can have so many noble
number of examples of low profiles with higher achievements.

Just think over and introspect, if we are flying in air with love and praise for self ----? If it is so there is much scope for improvement-Let me begin with my own self searching. Nobody will ever like to
be remembered as a arrogant person after his last good bye-----!!!.

JAINISM- ELIGIBILITY AND TIME OF SALVATION----BHAGWATISUTRA--------!!!.

Bhagwatisutra's twelfth Shatak covers series of  main questions by Jayantishrawika to Bhagwan Mahaveerswmi . She attained salvation and was among main disciples of Bhagwan. The session happened in Kaushambinagari. All questions and answers are important to study.
If we study her 3 questions to get idea when a soul can get salvation.
Q.1--Whether all Bhavi soul will get salvation-------------------?.
Q.2--Whether soul being Bhavi is natural or can be changed---?
Q-3--If universe will be free from Bhavi soul less if all Bhavi souls obtain salvation. If a points comes when all Bhavi souls got Moksha.
A.1---Definitely all Bhavi soul will obtain salvation at different time.
A.2--- Bhaviness of soul feature is natural and cannot be changed.
A.3---If all Bhavi soul will obtain salvation still universe will not be empty with such souls. As there are countless Bhavi soul in universe.
 While providing reasoning Bhagwan  given for example- sky has infinite lines. If one particle or Parmanu is taken out for infinite time still sky will not be empty since it has infinite particles just like that souls are infinite. The salvation process will be there forever.
Bhavi means souls having capacity for salvation. Souls which will be able to cut wrong faith in future are Bhavi souls Abhavi souls have no such capacity, Neither all stones can not be molded into statues nor all land cannot be used for farming, Same is case with Abhavi.
Life cycles of all Abhavi souls will continue for ever. If one soul is Bhavi he will obtain Samakit and become Shuklapakshi ending his Krishnapakshi status,  Once he enters this white zone, he becomes "Parittasansari". Means now he has limited  life cycles On becoming Shuklapakshi with in less than Ardhapudagal time frame he will definitely obtain salvation. Now  the new dawn has cleared his all doubts and salvation is in sight. Sooner  the soul will end sufferings.
When I asked Sugurudeo what is test to judge whether a particular soul is Bhavi or Abhavi--he replied only Bhavi souls can  ask such questions. Only such souls care for sins and cycles of life and death.
Thus if you are following true Jainism be sure of obtaining salvation. Just try to purify soul, retirement from 18 sins to maximum extent. 
Please have full confidence that I definitely will obtain salvation ending all sorrows of life and death. Soon we will be at Siddhsheela.
where Mahaveer Bhagwan with indefinite Siddha reside for ever.

JAINISM-CONDUCT-THE MAIN DECIDING FACTOR------!!!

 In seventh Shatak of Bhagwati Sutra Mahaveer Bhagwan while replying to a query of Gautamswami informed him, that any soul is building next birth based on his conduct during current life. Thus a soul which has built his next birth in hell has conducted his current life accordingly for this particular award .One can refer Aagam sutra.

Similarly in twelfth Shatak of Bhagwati Mahaveer Bhagwan told Jayantishrawika ( She attained salvation ) that soul gets heavier with conduct marked with 18 sins. Retirement from such sins, make the soul lighter bringing him close to salvation. Both guidance suggest the importance of conduct. Let us bring positive conduct changes.
Thus it has been made very clear by Bhagwan that with correct true knowledge faith is purified. With clear and correct faith, conduct or action is to be improved otherwise there is no use of such knowledge and faith. Good conduct marked by Jinwani can help for salvation.
With this basic concept one has to introspect one self. Whether we are same in temple, Sthnak or in  other holy place and after coming to outside--?. Do we use mask or dual personality  in actual life?      
 One has to find the answer for it. I have seen so many Shrawak once they leave such holy places they immediately back to their normal nature dominated by greed and anger. True religion of Jainism is not a matter of few hours in such holy places. One has to base his entire life style on principles of Jainism. Double standard must be avoided.
 If  in outer world you are adopting wrong and unethical practices for survival and success-you may gain for material things but is building seeds of sorrows.Everybody hates sorrow and wants to run far away from it but few are trying to eliminate basic roots of sorrows that is retirement from eighteen sinsand Kashay as per Bhagwan Mahaveer.
One my  friend told me that he can not give up food of fishes since, he is from coastal area. Another one told me that he is feeding his dogs non-vegetarian food since it can assure a cruel attitude required for safety. I failed to understand the logic behind no care for sins !.
Thus one can give so many excuses for his conduct, anger since human beings are best advocates for own mistakes but  a deeper insight into Jainism will tell you that Karma theory has very sharp sensitive censors and any misdeed is impossible to escape from it. One has to face results sooner or later. Karma never misses address.

The topic reminds me a story told by Guru. In ancient India there was a tradition of Gurukul .Parents used to send their children for learning moral values and other useful knowledge by learned Guru.
On completion on teachings Guru put a black dot on fingers of two students and asked them to fix it some where smartly. He put one
condition that nobody shall notice either of them. Within half hour first student came back, Guru inquired with him the fate of dot. The student told he walked for some time outside the school and  rubbed the dot in own head so that color matched with hair and took care that no one could see him. He was sure his smartness will be winning

The second student came back within two hours with dot still on his finger. On inquiry ,he told Guru that sorry I could not do the allotted task since I am unable to find such place- where nobody watching
me. Whenever I go ,two eyes of my inner conscience is always watching me. Guru hugged him with pride and told yes you are the chap I was looking for my entire life. Thus if you make note of your inner soul you can avoid much sins. Leave aside all commercial gain


  Conduct can be classified into two class for simple understanding. First one is outer conduct. It is too simple. If you are dealing with all living things as expected by you for yourself .It ensures retirement from 18 sins. Try to lead simple life without mask. Second one is inner conduct done for purification of accumulated misdeeds.
 It is comparatively difficult, it requires religious activities such as fast(Tap),reading holy books (Swadhay).Samaik and Pratikaman. It
can be done with guidance from Suguru and knowledge of Jainism,

 Our conduct at large or minute, bowing seeds of suffering even done in most smarter ways. Afterwards one has to face the music. If not ready for such eventuality, then please adopt path shown by Pujya  
 Bhagwan Mahaveer. Live and Let live and not harming others attitude can be best policy. It ensures most purified conduct.
.
JAI JINENDRA------!!!------------ JAI MAHAVEER--------!!!.


























 Just see whether your conduct at large or minute bowing seeds of suffering even done in most smarter ways. Then one has to face the music. If not ready for such eventuality then adopt path shown by Bhagwan Mahaveer-------!!!----Live and Let live.

JAINISM--COMPOSITION OF UNIVERSE-----------!!!.

Bhagwan Mahaveerswami through his Kevaldyan specified the components of universe. It is made of 6 elements only discussed as follow. It is difficult to understand, let us give a try from our end.
A-Non-living Elements---------------------------------------------!!!.
 First 3 elements have no color, smell, taste and touch and are  being
invisible having 1 Drava only. Dravya means having special feature.
1-Dharmastikay--Science now terms it as Ether. It is medium of motion. Like a fish swims in water with assistance from it

2-Adharmastikay- It is medium of rest. Without it the object will never stop and will continue to be in motion.
3-Aakashastikay--It is space which offer place to stay. Universe is divided into Lok and Alok. In Alok there is only space and no other living or non-living element. In Lok, we live and it has all above 6  elements discussed herewith in this blog.
4-Pudgalstikay -It is known as matter visible having color-5 smell l2,taste-5 and touch-8  features known to change form. They are infinite in numbers. It can be further divided into 4 parts as given in image. Parmanu is basic where no further division of it is possible.
 Our body is made Pudgals---- just like bread is made from wheat.
5- Kaal--It is time or period, making changes in elements like child becoming youth and youth becoming old man, black hair getting white and like-- It has six parts in each cycle as shown in image----.
B.-----Living Element-- Jivasthikaay--- It is soul also known as Chetana or consciences. It has feature of usage or Upyog of faith and knowledge. It is in invisible but permanent form. It may change  outer form of body as per specific 4 Gati. They are also infinite but constant in total. It is permanent , non perishable is it's basic nature.
 Modern science have recognized some of above elements but not full text of Jainism in this regard since it has still to pass through complete knowledge stage like Bhagwan. So far no one can find any single addition or deletion as above for composition of Universe as told by Bhagwan in Bhagwati and other Aagams. Of course above is just introduction one has to study Aagams for understanding

We soul as living element possess life and organs from one to five.
We live life with support of 10 essentials known as Pran. They are
five organs, mind, speech, body. breathing and life span known as
Aayushyabalpran. Jainism through Aagams specially "Pradynapana
Sutra "gives a detailed information on composition of universe
