FAST---A JAINISM KEY FOR WELL-BEING---!!!.

 Friends, after return from USA I noticed that we as Indians have more intake of foods in India. In India we have so many dishes food availble. In India we have so many festivals and celebrations. Any foodie can add so many weight as he wished. In such a context two social events acted as an eye opener for me. Recently- I attended two social events  organized by Jain Social groups.  Both events were for facilitation of devotees  doing "Aayambil Oli  and Varshi Tap Sadhna

Former is performed twice in a year. It is undertaken twice in a year inspired by story of King Shripal and Sati Mainasundari .It is for nine day from Saptami to Pakki. While 2nd is for thirteen months to mark respect for Bhagwan Rishabh Deo. I felt very thrilled to hear details of it. I discussed with couples and seniors doing this Tap. On return to home I gave thought to  such a long Tap and concluded that this is the key our Bhagwan gave us for  our well being, earning  Punya and

maintaining good health. We will study benefits of such Tap Sadhna. 1.-Fast is one of the major tool of Nirjara out of  twelve tools to cut Karmas layers on soul. It  can be of  different types from Navkarshi to Maas-Khaman. Majority prefer it can be done as per own choice. 2-For  good health less food ensures control over taste and stomach.

3- In Aayambil there is giving up of "VIGAY". It means no to sugar,

salt, oil, Ghee and honey. It is a blessed diet for all patients suffering from high cholesterol , blood pressure, veins blockages and diabetes.

4.-Our digestive system needs rest and break from constant eating.    5-I heard that eight days fast can cut off food to bad cells of cancer and can assist patient for recovery. Still medical approval for needed 6-With "Pachkan" we get category of Desh -Virati Shrawak, This qualify to next birth in Deo Loga as informed in Aagams . 

7-Bhagwan has asked his followers to observe six Thithi for fast in a period of  fortnight, They are Bij, Panchmi, Ashtami, Gyaras, Chodas and Pakki. If one can add "Poshad or Daya to fast it can be good one. 8.-In case it is difficult for fast one can go for no to vegetables. roots and food after sunset on those days .It can add discipline to our lives.

In a nutshell any Tap easy or difficult Bhagwan has advocated for our well being. It fetch Punya, Nirjara and good health for all the  doers. Even asking their "Sata and offering "Anumodana" can be beneficial.

As a summary friends fast is really a key to earning Punya and  good for health. Health benefits cannot be denied by medical science. Give it a small try from smaller to bigger and see the peace health you get.

As per my experience thinking to go far fast is difficult but let you have courage and go far Pachkhan. Once bound by Pachkan all play and fears of mind get vanished then there is smooth toad to fast till new dawn arrives. Two time daring makes you an expert doing fast. Once given a try it will open Pandora box for you for balance of life.

JAINISM------TRUTH - V/S- FAITH------------!!!.

 Friends this Blog is adapted from Gurudeo's lecture in summer camp for kids in the age group of 10 to 15 years. Attendance was too good.  "Devanu Priya today we will discuss two topics. First topic is Truth. Second topic is faith. Truth is an universally accepted principles or things. Mostly they are visible like Sun, Moon, Sea, forest, water and so on. Air. gravity you may not see but can verify or feel. Truth can be tested in lab and are being backed by proven science .On second side we come across  various phases like -soul, rebirth, heaven, hell

Kewal- Dyan. Arihant Bhagwan and body less but living souls like Siddha Bhagwan. These are the subject matter of our second topic. Neither of us seen any of these but we believe in them on Basis of Jinwani. When we believe on faith more than truth-It is Samkit. We believe it on basis of what we heard from our parents and Sadhuji. All the time proofs are not needed. Our presence as of now vouch for our great grand father's existence once upon a time. Saduji Maharaj impart knowledge learned from study of thirty two Aagams. Nobody

from us were present when Aagams were composed by Gandhars. All other major religion have faith in God based on their holy books. We trust more on Aagams as the deity preaching it were practicing same. There is not a single sentence which  contradict each other. For great mission of truth finding and meaning of life Jain deities has left their comfort and luxuries at home. Same journey and 'Sadhana gave them clue for solution to human sufferings. Their "Sadhana" took them to

the Kewal-Dyan. It showed them truth of human life and salvation. It formed their teachings in form of "Jinwani" through 32 Aagams. As Bhagwan is "Vitraagi" beyond love or hate there were no reasons for them to misguide masses. In Aagam they have covered so many tiny  and minute details of living and non living things that we have  no option than to have full faith on it. Such a detailed study cannot be a

work of  a normal human being. On maturity try to read Bhagwatiji, Jiva Bhigam and Pannawana Sutra then you can realize truth of my  statement. Now let us test case of faith. One pray for his much ailing relative. Unfortunately the person expired. Praying person may get frustration that his prayer failed to bring desired results. Now his

faith gets shaky. If that person happens to be a Samkiti soul having full faith on Jinwani. He will think yes Bhagwan has correctly said that nothing can change life span. A strong faith makes a soul strong enough to face all odds of living life. He is ready to accept things as they unfold as he firmly believe on Karma theory. Inside deep in his heart he know that no outside force  are capable of giving me trouble. Only my" Karmas and Punyaee can offer me sorrow or happiness.

When these all are my deeds then why should I be afraid of results ?.

I do not ask you all to have a blind faith on "Jinwani".Try to read Aagams and try to understand them from Suguru. Root a habit to attend Guru Deo's lectures. It may be a difficult process for a period

of 2 to 3 years. Afterwards you will be happy to discover treasury of correct knowledge. I wish you continue to have for more study as

correct knowledge will be foundation for strong Samkit. Mind well without Samkit one cannot limit lives cycles. You are torch bearers  for Bhagwan Mahaveer's grand legacy. Only with reading you can tell the world how noble life was of Bhagwan and how great are his

  all teachings in form of " Aagams".You may recall study of  eight components of soul. Each living soul carry faith compulsorily. It may be correct or wrong. We need to nourish correct faith forever.. It can make our journey to salvation quicker" Guru Deo concluded lecture.

JAINISM-MAHAVEERAS'S AHINSA V/S WARS--!!.

Friends, on coming 31st March 2026 we will be happily celebrating Mahaveer Bhagwan's Janma- Kalyanak .On each  Janma Kalyanak I, try to have a comparison of world's current status and life style that Bhagwan Mahaveer Swamiji has preached for welfare of living souls

In current era the results are always negative. This year the results are too much dark. with ongoing war of USA-Israel and Iran we are used to read and hear all war terms like---- drones, missiles, airbase, explosions interceptors, bunkers, soldiers  and strikes. End results are

numbers of death of civilians, soldiers and losses of properties. Even school kids are not spared together with hospitals. Forget the gentle era when one can expect an apology for such a grave  blunder. There were news of kidnapping president with regime change. The "Oil" greed factor helped us to witness all bitterness and crimes against--- humanity. International laws remained on paper while international bodies remained silent spectators. All major countries barring few

like Spain feared to condemn the brutality of either side. Spain may have to pay price for it's justice based actions but it's name will be remembered in history whenever there will be talk of courage and standing for truth. Kid of current era are among the most unfortunate to witness such horror stories of war. Let us hope that the good sense will prevail and war will end soon. But the wounds left by this war will take more years to heal. Even after 2026 long years of existence

human civilization failed to walk on  path of moral values based on kindness. We entered in sophisticated crimes from barbaric age when human used to live in groups in Jungles. Does one think it will go on like this forever ?. I feel it may continue for maximum next 25 years. Afterward who ever will be left over will have no option but to live life with principle of co-existence advocated by Bhagwan Mahaveer. They have to care for each and each living souls. Unless one values

life of other in same weightage as of self peace will not be visible .In present era his teaching of  "Live and Let Live"  is being replaced by the "Might is Right". Greed and cunningness can be seen in each move of people in power. Thanks God public at large still love peace

as a first choice. I read a short brief on the war with tears in my eyes. Each Mahaveer Jayanti gives a message to world-Do not experiment with options-Non violence and love are  only two options that can--- offer world peaceful living forever .No doubt will get what we select.

Teachings of Bhagwan Mahaveer will be relevant for all the coming times to which human race will exist. Better if we adopt it as soon as we can. Otherwise sufferings and diester will be fate of all common people. Interestingly all war participants claimed to be God fearing. I am unable to watch or imagine God's reaction to all such killings As a devotees of Bhagwan Mahaveer we can participate in humanitarian

aid to war victims pray for well being of citizens of warring nations.

It may not be today tomorrow or day after tomorrow but world will have no other option than to  adopt Bhagwan's non violence to live.

JAINISM----THE JUDGEMENT DAY------!!!

Friends, the new visitor I referred in last two essays turning out to be a studious fellow. Today after due permission he stood up offered his  "Vandana and put up a question to Gurudeo " Sir is there any concept in Jainism like a Judgement day to decide fate of  action after death?  If yes then who is giving the verdict. Your answer can help me a lot

for all religions. Gurudeo started his answer " Devanupriya, I heard it for some religions but as a practice I will not comment on it. I hereby confine my answer to Jainism only. In Jainism each micro second is a Judgement day. A living soul is continuously-- adding seven Karmas.

Even in sleep the process is going on. The severity may vary. The 8 eight Karma i.e  "Aayushya Karma Bandh "  happens only once for a soul. You will be surprised to know that your soul is alone at helm of

affairs and there is no Judge to award the results for actions. Still the verdict process is happening each movement. However Karma arise as per "Uday Kaal " timings rules. Here the Judge is your own soul and your own "Karman Sharir". We can term it as a " Karma Satta"(Authority).A soul cannot be liberated unless this Karman body gets nullified. A popular belief is that Karma gets attached with only our actions .It is partial true. Your all actions, reactions. mind, feelings, sentiments, hate, anger or words of mind, body and speech either

 good or bad (Vachan) together with body attracts all tiny particles

of  eight Karmas and attach with souls. The particular attachment if severe or casual depends upon your "Kashay" and sentiments at the particular time. Jainism believe in series of lives and deaths for the majority of souls. In a single  even short life a soul commits so much good and bad Karmas that the outcoming results need more time to

get cleared. Even if instead of clearing more actions and reactions are added then the cycle goes on multiple times. In a single life we have so many connections and relations with co living partners. To repay their obligation in different capacity a single life cannot be sufficient.

Let me explain it with two examples. One is foodie and very fond of non vegetarian food.  For his food in a single life times so many hens fishes or goats have lost lives. Now they need revenge unless they all

are too noble souls filled with forgiveness as of Mahaveer Bhagwan. It will take number of years when the victim and killer can meet and victim is in a position to go far revenge. In a second example assume that one has a strained relations in family. Such as parents, spouse or kids. High litigation, quarrels are continued. Can we think the person involved can settle account within same year ?. They will be need so many years to settle the score. Hence if  one is clear about Karmas-- theory then he gets cautious about his all small or big action. In such

a case the life cycles can be restricted. All accumulated actions create corresponding situation at the day of  his" Aayushya Bandh. .Jainism  believes that "Sawastari" day in Chaturmas has greater probability of living souls life fixation process. Hopefully you have got the needed details to satisfy your query ,Mind well Jainism has all crystal clear and logical solutions for all doubts" Gurudeo concluded his lecture.

JAINISM------सिद्ध सदा जयवंत है------!!!

With bowed head, closed eyes and heart full of respect and gratitude feelings I offer my deepest prayers to Almighty "Siddha Bhagwan. I run short of words, phases to describe all of their virtues, peace and inner happiness they are enjoying. As a rule winners always reside at top. Siddhasheela is name of holy place Bhagwan reside permanently

They are real winners as they had set the highest goal of getting the liberation and with tremendous efforts achieved it. I appreciate their unique achievement by simply saying "Siddha Sada Jaywant Hai". This has a simple feeling that good will always overcome evil and remain undefeated forever. "Siddhas" are bodiless crystal pure but invisible souls. They are not associated with creation or operation of universe Neither they are there to look after devotees or grant their wishes or solve their problems. Yet they are worshipped with whole

heartily as they have shown the salvation path which alone can end the cycles of lives and deaths for living souls. They reside with total eternal peace but know minute detail of each for all of 3 periods. It is possible with their possession of unique Kewaldyan& Kewaldarshan

Bhagwan has overcame all sin and all good deeds. Now they are free from love and hate and are in "Vitraag" status forever. They are miles

away from all "Vikaars" hence termed as "Avikari ".They are free from all organs and body .As a result they are free from all diseases and body related issues. For a lay man like me the very basic fact of liberated soul being freed from pain and sorrows of life is very much attractive and fascinating. Bhagwan is too kind to show us the path to devotees who can also be "Siddha" while perfectly walking on road shown by him. Oh--!! Lord--!! Let my day start with your holy name and end with it. Let me pray to have your ---holy name on my tongue when I take my last breath of current body. This is my only one wish.

Hopefully I will be walking on Jainism path for all the next births my Karman and Tejas Sharir offers. Waiting for the Golden Day when I will be entering the "Siddhasheela".Your travel from first Gunasthan to 14 th last Gunasthan is very inspiring and motivating for all of us I am very confident that my daily prayer "Sidha Siddhi Mum Di Santu will definitely bring positive results and allow my entry to your holy

region "Siddhasheela".I cannot express my gratitude for knowledge you have parted for all of us through "Aagams".Please let me have your shelter till I  completes my cycles of lives and death Also grant me wisdom to cut them to maximum possible limits. Please grant me

strength to have  un shattered faith in your teachings with my strong Samkit. With your broad vision obtained through Kewal Darshan you can have glimpse universe as "Hasta-Kamala-Vaat " (As good as one can see lotus kept in forehand clearly).Please see that I am not having a slight deviation from "Jinwani.".My brain has limited imagination power. With such a limited resource I even cannot think of  infinite happiness you are enjoying. I hope to have your eight unique virtues in a near term as  get to Moksha Sir, May I take your kind leave with 

a one prayer "Siddha siddi Mum Di Santu" Namo Siddhanam."
