Can we believe that sound of pain by caged animals can make any groom rethink his wedding plans and returned unwed to become a
monk-? This is the very interesting story of 22nd Thirthakar Pujya Arishtaneminathji Bhagwan as given in" Utradhyansutra " Aagam by Mahaveerswami. Let us look at this interesting story of Bhagwan.
Neminathji was son of king Samudravijay and queen Shivadevi of Shoryapur. His marriage was fixed with princess Rajimati daughter of king Ugrasen, The prince was on the way for marriage riding on an elephant .Of course the prince was being followed by a huge mob.
On his way to bridegroom's place he heard painful voices of caged birds and animals. On inquiry, he came to know that they were being kept in cages to be saluted after some time for food of guest. Hearing it the prince got very nervous and thought that his marriage will cost lives of so many innocent creatures who were not at fault. They will be punished for life term for taste of food. heavy price for wedding.
The prince gave up the marriage plans and became monk by taking Diksha. On hearing it princess Rajimati started crying. It is natural for a young bride to see her all dreams shattered in this way. After some time she went for Darshan of Neninathji with Lordkrishna when they heard Neminathji have obtained "Kewal dyan." The Lord Shrikrishna asked Bhagwan the reason of so much love of Rajimati
for him. Bhagwan replied that He and Rajimati were together from last 8 life. Now time has come both shall meet again at Siddahshila.It gave Rajimati hint and she can see all 8 lives by "Jatisamarandyan". Immediately she took Diksha and became Rajimatiati. Both of them attained salvation and reached to top place in universe Siddhasheela.
We are proud of such great legacy. Many Jain are pure vegetarian even ,they are not using roots like onions and potatoes. From this side there is strict follow up in the current birth for vegetarian food.
But we might have consumed meat in previous births. So one has to express sorry and do Aalochna for previous misdeeds in this regards in current life to reduce severity of such great sins of Pranatipaat.
Unfortunately I cannot say all Jain are vegetarians. When I- check across profiles on Matrimony sights, some parents proudly say for their child to be eggetarian, non-vegetarian and social drinker. At least they are bold enough to say the truth. They will certainly regret missing Jain culture when they will look back at life in next birth.
Many others hide it causing divorces in society. Previously divorce was heard in exceptional cases. Now breaking of holy marriages or
engagements and divorces numbers is gradually increasing. That is a sorry state of affairs for society. Needs a urgent inner inspection.
We must give thought to such exceptional cases and try to bring them back in main stream. We might have obtained high education or influenced by high society or culture but if we forget principle of Jainism i. e. Ahinsa, it will be great insult to our religion. So think a little bit and give up such bad habits if any, causing birth in hell.
One senior member of family must clear misconception of current
young generation that egg is vegetarian food .It is nothing but a one
substances equal to substance of abortion of a female lady. Let us
give weight to life than taste. This we can learn from Neminathji.
