JAINSIM-- HOW ONE CAN FORGET---- MAHAVEER BHAGWAN--------!!!

Friends tomorrow on full black day 2544 years will be completd for salvation of lord Mahaveer. He got the salvation in BC 527. His last four moths stay was at Pawapuri in Nalanda district in India in Bihar state. It was kingdom of king Shripal.He got liberated here only.
 Before the Nirvan day. for continuous 48 hours he delivered last lecture, presently  it is available in Utradhyansutra and Vipaksutra.
 His teachings  will be relevant for all the time to come Those teachings become more relevant in 2017 in the background of threat of nuclear war. Any adversity is possible any time in near future.

Now the world helplessly used to hear the threats of Nuclear war. Previously the fear was always there with numbers of such bombs and weapons informed, But now there is open and  new threat with each passing day. I do not know it is a threat or real prior intimation. Only time can tell the reality in future for our worried generation.
We will live or dead to hear it is also not certain. Even it is threat it amounts to indirect cause of anguish and mental harassment to peace
loving counties of both sides. Each day passes with uncalled for anxiety and peace disturbance. We all can couch for this reality

I wonder how world leaders can forget tragedy of Hiroshima and Nagasaki tragedy so early ? It is only 71 years passed from 06/08/1945 when world watched the beyond words tragedy of atomic bomb explode killing humanity and humans.
The period is too small for human race. As a feedback to me visitors to those cities still leave the place crying with a heavy heart. I was not born at that time. With due apology I feel if  at a time death of plus 129000 innocent  people and more than it leading to lead a miserable and pathetic life by radiation ,we fail to learn a life time lesson then it is almost certain that no one can be more unfortunate and fool than us, Both cities will be ambassador of peace for entire humanity .For such peace message we cannot forger Veer Mahaveer.
I wonder whether the parties involved have ever heard the simpler one line theory of war. It says war does not prove who his right, it only proves that who is left after war and in which conditions.
 I am more than 100 % sure if parties involved  decide to go  through the Mahaveer Bhagwan's teaching, they will pass resolution not to involve any kind of war forget nuclear war.
Looking to shortage of time available  to busy authorities, let me explain his 3 principles-non violence. forgiveness and Anekantwad  (Means to agree that other can have other view also not necessarily false-it may or may not match your vies.) It can be a real tribute to him. I briefly summaries herewith those principles.
1-Non violence--It underline the concept that everybody love his life and like to  enjoy life. A beggar, billionaires including all patients .even. dogs .plants nobody like to die ( barring minor % who successfully opt for suicide. Even such category used to live in past but adopt such harsh measures due to lack of proper counselling and sympathy).Love for life is a inbuilt natural feature of soul all over the world, irrespective of caste, creed, status religion and position. 
2-Forgiveness-If one has conquered his ego then only he can go for forgiveness. Only mighty people with brave heart can do it. With such gesture offered the opposite party is bound to rethink his behavior and can possibly change for ever. No doubt results may not be positive in all cases but let us give the concept a try.

3-Anekanntwad (Multi-opions )--The theory allows to respect other's view. If one has a voice of dissent ,i t shall not make him your enemy for all the time. So many time ,it happens that later on one realize his mistake. There are cases in history of world that the later generation offers apology for mistakes and torture done by their forefathers. History can vouch for  such cases,
Tomorrow on Mahaveer Nirwan day his followers will offer him respect for his valuable teaching by keeping fast, offering his praise by 108"Pucchisunam" and Swadhay of Uttaradhyansutra.
 It is simply difficult for any rational man to overlook his precious teachings of "Live and allow others to live happily".
Noble souls like Mahveerswami used to take birth on earth once in a blue moon, after passing of thousand years .Even after such long gap arrival we are free to ignore his  advice at cost of our happiness. Let us change our wrong path as a tribute to him.

Let us pray to this noble soul to allow us some sort of light to overcome the darkness that is creeping in slowly at the horizon of earth. Let us use this auspicious festival of Dipawali to remove darkness within each of us. It can make earth as worthy place to live

JAINISM--CHARITRYA BUILDING THROUGH 12 MAHAVRATA-----PART-3.-----!!!

Friends this blog covers balance vows in brief from "Pratikaman" .I am covering it on a request from one of blog readers. In his view, it can put all vows under a a common platform for easy grasping. 
Pratikaman is done on daily basis immediately after sunset and before sunrise. In daily routine, if we get a small cut or wound, we immediately apply antiseptic and apply ointment with bandage to cure the wound in time, Just like it ,it is a remedy to clear off wrong doings on daily basis from bottom of heart to clear soul daily.
It prevents  new bad Karmas to become part of soul. "Pratikaman"  book only can give real idea of contents. I am doing only passing reference towards it's main contents. Let us study those vows-----.
1-Limitation of all directions for own travel to protect small insects. Any how the universe is too big, we do not use all direction all the time. So limit the day's travel boundaries with reference to own plan
2-Limitations of 26 types of human intakes, to control our needs. Food makes body strong. As a result healthy organs demand, more pleasure leading to more sins and luxurious life style, 
3-Limitations of daily action to curtail unnecessary and unwanted sins .Many time we engage in free advice to others without bothering it's results and sins associated. For such bad actions or advice, we will be partners of sins involved equally.
4-Engagement  in Samaik for religious activities. It is source of inner peace. Samik connect you with religion. Just take a example of tree.Till the tree is connected to soil ,it is green and prospering. Once it is cut off from soil, the supply of water and soil will be disconnected and will make the tree dry. Similarly as long as one is connected with Dharma, one is peaceful and happy. Disconnection invites so many bad habits and loose character.

5-Limitation of  dealing with others.
6-Engagement in Poshad. A full night engagement in religious activities. It is done with fast and full time Samaik,
7-To offer necessities to monks and guests. (Athithi),visiting unknowingly. Not to prepare any thing keeping in mind the arrival.
Earlier we completed  major 5 vows  now secondary seven vows of Jainism we have seen, thus it is a total twelve  basic vows covered.
In addition to it, more vows related to actions are given as follow.
1-Admission for mistakes done in reading Aagams.- Aagame Tivihe .It relates to reading without proper care.
2-Admission for mistakes if other faiths followed or Bhagwan's sermons doubted knowingly or unknowingly.-Darshan Samkit.
3-Admission for mistakes if 25 wrong faiths related actions following under category of Mithyatav.
4-Disturbing tiny insects generated in unhygienic places-Samucchim. Such places are 14.
5-Forgiveness from all from Jambudwipa -bigger place where we live. Bharatkhetra is part of it.
6-Forgiveness from 84 millions categories of all living souls.
7-Choti Sanlekhna-Santhara
8- Going forActual Snathara.

Pratikamn is not like reading or speaking from books or hearing a recorded one. It requires own involvement and review of daily actions. If any action was made contrary to Jainism teaching ,one has to offer unconditional apology with heart felt sorry. With it sins get washed out and fails to be part of soul.
