JAINISM--LET US BEGIN THE TRAVEL TO MOKSHA----------!!!.

To mark the completion of current Chaturmaas on 25/11/2015, three days farewell speeches of devotees is being organized by city forum. I found one request and answer to it by Gurudeo, a must to be shared with my readers. I am sharing herewith the said coverage for readers.
The speaker in emotional tone said " Sir, you have not left any stone upturned to educate us for marching the path of salvation .While you leave the city, please express what minimum you want us to start as a beginners".Gurudeo with his unmatched usual smile told which are  his expectations from devotees in his absenteeism from Sthanks. 

"Brothers and Sisters, it was nice to witness your love for Jainism for entire period of four months. But as per order of Bhagwan a monk cannot exceed the limit of  stay for current session. The limit expires on coming full moon day, I have to take your leave. I am certainly leaving you with unique treasure of Jainism teachings of Bhagwan.
We all are fortunate to have Jainism  and it's teachings. Majority of all teachings in universe can cover  up-to the existence of heaven and hell. But it is only Jainism which introduce salvation concept.

 A soul is capable of attaining salvation and there by, he need not to take birth after death is a unique theory of Jainism. This is the only way to end human sufferings. No doubt the path is much more difficult but not impossible. In fact there is no short cut to the road starting from Nigod to Siddhasheela. Unless one starts. one cannot reach- hence I share with you minimum start up for getting Moksha.

Very few like mother of Rishabhadeo Bhagwan-Moradevimata are fortunate to get salvation in short time. But for majority of Bhavi souls, it is a Herculean task ,where one has to lost one self.
You have the basic intentions of salvation. That is the most essential part of whole process. With domestic liabilities, busy schedules and so on one may not be able to fully act for the path. Nevertheless note down following basic steps to start walking on salvation path.
1. Remember Navkarmantra by heart. Bowing to good virtues of five Panchparmesti will offer you noble and pure start.

2. Remember nature of 18 sins and 9 good deeds. Can be noted down in a paper or diary for reference with meaning so as to avoid them.
With these two basic material spare minimum 5 minutes time for a silent conversation with pray to Lord Mahaveer. This meditation must be in a most relaxed and closed eyes posture.

" Swamiji your path is the only truth, I totally agree with it. I accept my weakness to give up entire 18 sins as specified by you.

I regret it and admit that I have made mistakes. Please grant me wisdom to overcome my inability to avoid sins. Also grant me strength to engage in good deeds in best of my ability.
Note this process will build your determination  of salvation and warn your inner voice against constant engagement in sins.
With such minimum time start .sooner you can have strength to follow the entire path with passage of time.

 Subsequently, you can list down learning -nine Tatvas, Samaik and Pratikaman and Swadhay as time permits. Soon you will realize what you missed. Then you can be fit to walk on  salvation path .I
further add that the road is difficult but not beyond reach. Countless
souls attained salvation. if we overcome our weakness we too can
achieve it. Bye, next meeting of ours's time will decide. Let us plan 
to meet again at Siddhasheela at last" Gurudeo concluded advice.

JAINISM--SOME OBLIGATIONS ARE FOR EVER ---- MAHAVEERSWAMI-----!!!

City Jain Forum has organized five days celebration for Veer Nirvan
( salvation of Lord Mahaveer). It will fall due on 11/11/2015 when the great soul got salvation around midnight. It was day of Kartik Amayasya approximately 2542 years ago. Gurudeo offered his due respect to this great guide and philosopher. His good lecture is being summarized herewith to make us aware of Lord's role in our life.

For a new born baby every mother is his first teacher. Slowly with undeveloped mind, brain and organs, the baby enters the world. With a more than 9 months stay in her womb the baby establishes a unique bonding with his mother. He understands the silence language of his mother's touch and eyes. He follows his mothers' instructions all time without knowing a single words. This is a known fact for all of us.
Without upbringing by mother, kid could not distinguish difference between good and bad things of life .She is the first person to tell him not to quarrel, not to steal, what to eat and so on. So every child carries life long obligations towards his mother till her last breath.
Just like mother Mahaveer Bhagwan is our guardian for the spiritual

development. Without his teachings, we would have lost in deep jungles of sins. He explained Karma theory and causes of life and death cycles ,sorrows of life. He taught us results of good deeds and bad deeds. His 9 Tatvas explains the path and journey to salvation.

He taught us two ways of living life. One by becoming Jain monk leaving all pleasures and connections of domestic life. Second being becoming Shrawak, taking oath of five basic principles of Non-violence, Truth, Non-theft, Loyalty in relationship and Non-possession. Choice is optional. First way is comparatively difficult.

Both categories follow these principle with different severity. His doctrine of live and let live and "Ahinsa Parmo Dharma" has saved many lives and ensured living in harmony with all four categories.
Dipawali is being celebrated to mark salvation of Mahaveerswami Bhagwan. In this festival the lamps represents the tools to fight darkness inside us .All Jain brothers and sisters celebrate Diwali by

recitation of Puchisunam, fast, Samaik, Pratikaman and Swadhaya of Aagam Poshadh fast and other religious activities to the fullest.
Bhagwan got salvation in Pawapuri in Bihar state of India while giving lecture of 36th chapter of Uttaradhyansutra. The soul may not be here with physical body but the teachings, he left will guide all of us for ever. We could not repay his obligations even with series of new lives. Whatever little we can do, we must not miss it possibly.

Let us remember his noble soul and try to practice his unique principles of co-living with mutual care and love for all living souls. This one day can recharge our battery for the whole year provided we understand his efforts and teachings to uplift each and every soul. Let us pray to him to show us light till our salvation.

JAI MAHAVEER----------!!!----------- JAIJINENDRA-------!!!.
