Friends---- here is a helpful guidelines based on my discussion with Gurudeo. We know it is a composition by Pujya Sudharmaswami for Bhagwan Mahaveer Swami. Said recitation is amounts to 'Swadhaya Devotees should be filled with utmost appreciation and respect for
Bhagwan. In mind he should have feelings that Oh I am admiring the qualities of a great soul who showed this universe light of Moksha. Inside of me I am aware that my praising is not to please him or seek his favors for me. Reasons being that Bhagwan is now "Siddha and beyond all the feelings of love and hate. I am sure my pure prayer for him will be a tool of my Nirjara and definitely offer me inner peace. Sole reason behind my little attempt to worship him is only to show my admiration for his numerous virtue. His disciple Sudharmaswami will not compare his qualities without experiencing and witnessing them. He has compared Bhagwan's qualities will all best things in the universe.

JAINISM----STORY OF TWO PRINCES-------!!!.
Friends- this lecture delivered by Gurudeo in Sunday's kids camp. "Devanupriya, as kids like stories today I will share with you a story which is of symbolic nature. Long ago there was a king ruling over a small kingdom. King was very kind, religious and protector of truth, and justice. Naturally was very popular and loved by public. He was
blessed with two sons. Elder was a hard working scholar while the younger was full of youth and a happy go lucky type of guy. Mostly wanted to enjoy all things available with money having a large circle of friends. With passage of time the king was not keeping his health well. As a visionary the king decided to seek his successor. He made consultation with his senior officials. Being a justice lover king do not wanted the younger son to loose his claim only due to his nature and youngness. King announced a public test for both of his sons by giving each an amount to Rs.100 value money. King asked both of his sons to listen him carefully as test will result in selection of his successor. Task was looking simple but carrying a mysterious natureto fill two halls using the allocated fund of Rs 100 each in maximum one day. Elder son took some time to decide various option available. Younger son was at first annoyed with the limit of Rs100 for given test. He said to himself how a big kingdom can run out of money to allow a mere sum of Rs 100 to spend. Moreover dad warned to fill the entire room with this small amount. In a hurry he called garbage depo and asked to dump garbage into given hall and gave the money and went out with friends to party with residual money. Elder prince after proper thought bought lighting, a lamp and decorated the room. He added scented sticks on walls of room.Both requested judges to visit rooms and pronounce their good judgement. Judges opened the younger son's room as they cannot bear the smell immediately closed the door and came outside. They got the idea of inner material. Then they moved to other room was open and elder son was present with both folded hands to welcome them. The look of room was giving a feeling of pleasant, pure clean surroundings. Naturally the elder son was selected as king's successor. Now let me explain the symbol. The 100 Rs is maximum precious human life. Prince represent birth in a higher class. Lighting is teachings of Jinwani and garbage is living with bad habits. Now choice is yours's. If one is a worthy successor of Bhagwan Mahaveer's great legacy naturally will choose the path of elder prince. Selection of younger son's path will be a unfortunate. and will lead to waste a precious human life. This unique human life one can use for so many good things ,to have Nirjara and add good deeds to our Karman Sharir. Hope all of you will lighten your life with lamp and light of Mahaveer Swami. With light of Jainism you can become monk and walk on path of moksha. As you grow life will throw at you various options and different teachers. Your future entire life shaped by your selection. So be careful and avoid to fall into any trap arranged by vested groups" Gurudeo concluded story.

JAINISM---CONSEQUENCES OF 18 SINS----!!!.
Friends, few days are left to complete Chaturmas of 2024. Whatever pearls- I could collect from "Guruwani" I tried to share with you in a summarized simple ways. Here is the sharing with similar intentions.
Gurudeo was answering a question of a devotee. His question was "Sir, you have told that "Pratikaman" clears all committed sins. Then what is their impact on soul. If soul gets total freedom from that sin.? "Devanupriya this small question is good enough for all of us. Let us try to study it. You all know nature and names of 18 type of sins. Let me briefly define Paap and Punya. An act of " Paap may offer doer a brief so called happiness. Once the peak period of it ends, soul feel a guilt inside. The said act kill sanity of mind and conscious and then it starts haunting the doer for a longer period. A sensitive soul most probably Bhavi soul does "Aalochana, Nindana and Grahana".He takes "Praychhit " as suggested by Guru deo. While a thick skinned soul get disturbed for a while then again he does same things. On the other hand an act of "Punya" may need few sacrifices on part of the doer in terms of money and time. But from completion of act the doer is being filled with lot of peace, true happiness and pride. Sins might have cleared with "Pratikaman" if it was an one time act. It's repetition creates an impression on soul and it gets carried on for several next births. Soul become habitual of such natured sins. A soul turns all those sins into deep everlasting embedded impression is being created on soul. It may need tremendous effort to rub it from the layers of soul. Let us study a kids behavior. No one teaches kid to get angry. Kid may be a new born but his soul is a habitual of all sins of nature called "Krodh".The small kid also know tactics as crying to convey his needs to his mother. To conclude all souls are habitual in doing all types of 18 sins. One blessed with Jinwani" only able to cut off chains of such negative habits. I invite your attention to chart of 18 sin. Your inner voice can tell you which sin had been long history of association with your soul. Forgetting past we can concentrate onwhich sin cycle needs to be immediate correction. Human life is the most appropriate form to correct such negatives of our soul. To err is human. Wise devotees should not allow sin's seed to develop inside soul as of climber. May have committed sins but see that they do not form part as routine habit, Hope you all will try in this direction with Jinwani and be free of unwanted sins." Gurudeo concluded lecture.Tuesday, 22 October 2024
JAINISM--DIPWALI GIFTS TO SOUL 2024---!!!,
Friends in India, for majority souls Dipawali is a king of festivals. In this festival of lights citizen gift each other sweets and wishes to add
to happiness of all. For all of Jains this is also a auspicious festival as our last Thirthankar Bhagwan Mahaveer got salvation at Pawapuri. We cannot neglect our soul on this great day as soul can alone take us to Siddha Sheela where our respected Siddhas reside. Herewith- I will discuss the ways to gift our souls on this noble day of our lives. First of all take Pachkkan to complete 108 numbers of Veer-Stuti or popularly known as Puchisunam. In this series of Blogs one can find text of it in Ardhamaghdi, Hindi or English languages. A one Strotra needs three minutes time for completion. One can choose a language of his choice. If one can learn it then can serve his life long purpose. In second way one can do fast as per his physical ability. Many souls do "Tela with Poshad on a yearly basis. One can do even a smallest Tap like "Navkarshi "to mark respect for Veer Bhagwan's Moksha. In third category I can suggest one more Mala recitation at midnight. Mahaveerswami Huva Nirwan,Gautamswami Payo Kewaldyan. As a forth tool decide to celebrate Diwali in a most simple manner. It should be with Nil firecrackers and minimum lightings. All the tiny creatures, birds cannot bear noise pollution at night. Our such action can make them to pass night in a easy and fearless night. A burning lamp with filled oil attracts so many insects, we need to avoid all of it. Mind well Dipawali reminds us all that Moksha is possible with example of Mahaveer Bhagwan. We should try to follow his path.
