PREGNANCY and JAINISM----PART-2.----------!!!

Friends my yesterday's attendance in Gurudeo's session was indeed a unique experience. A woman visited Gurudeo for Darshan with her daughter in law. She told Gurudeo "Sir, I earlier visited a physician and consulted him for clinical care for my pregnant daughter as an a routine exercise. But later on, I felt that it is more necessary to take advice for spiritual care, so please guide us for it. " With usual smile Gurudeo answered "Good and visionary question, Keeping time constraint in mind my summarized guidance along with study of Bhagwatisutra can provide you the desired important results I hope.

In chapter 01/07 under the head 'Garbha-vichar' Bhagwan Mahavira has explained various issues related to this subject worth reading.
Such as connections of baby with mother, various components of her body, her ways to take food and transform it into  five organs, her hereditary features, her output, her happiness and sorrows. In her the mother's womb the soul of child completes six power termed as Parayapties- known as food, body, organs, breathing, language and mind. If the soul unable to build 1 of above forth power then it dies.

Bhagwan has also explained ways of baby's safe arrival or otherwise. Situations causing danger to life of mother is also being explained.
If the baby arrives from head or leg side it is safe. If it is from center
or zigzag mode, it can be dangerous to both of them. Reference to
full chapter text can be very useful for all future mothers. The soul
derives 3 major parts from mother and 3 parts from father. Mother's
parts are muscles, blood and brain. father's parts are bone, marrow.
hair, moustache, beard and pores. All other parts are combined one,

The particular soul in case of unsafe arrival can go to heaven / hell as per her thought process duly explained with examples. Hearing of monk's lecture or prayers have positive impact on baby.
Mother's food, her thinking, state of her happiness, fear and sorrows has direct bearing and total impact on the baby. Hence the mother shall spend most of her time in  chatting of Navkarmantra, Loggas, visits to monks and taking Manglik, Samaik, Pratikaman, Swadhay
,Bhaktamber, Pucchisunam and so on. With it she can spend most time in good thoughts. It can positively affect the baby. Those eight
months time is a most testing period for any mother and her baby.

Reading good literature of Jainism and other religious activities is beneficial to a great extent. Adult literature must be avoided at all.

Thinking about soul ,it's nature in mediation can help very much. Mediation with Navkar is a good tool to impart training to child. She 

keep herself away from bad habits if any, bad surroundings, wrong beliefs, anger ,bad food ,drinks etc. Be careful to participate in other  misleading Sanskar camps run with commercial motives. The bond
created with new baby remains for ever. Even when baby grows up
she seeks the soft touch in baby blanket or teddy bear as mother.

A future mother can read the blog which covers 14 dreams of Mata
Trishala and try to concentrate on qualities of dreams for baby. It
may help to have fractional qualities of Bhagwan Mahaveerswami.

Remember mother's womb is a most holy and powerful place in universe. All great souls like Thirthankars and Kewaldyani find their ways to mankind through it. So proper handling needed.
In Jain terminology mother of a monk is being termed as
"Ratnakhukshi" (Womb for diamond or jewel) with respect.
Here with I quote a stanza from Bhaktamber Sotra. It has very
good message for all future mothers who can be"Veermata".

 It means" All directions are reflecting sun rays. Similarly all
mothers give birth to child. But as only east is powerful to give
birth to Sun only special mothers can give birth to Thirthankar
     Motherhood is a great responsibility assigned to the mother by nature. If she can fulfill it to fullest to her ability ,we can welcome the addition of a good citizen and good human being on earth.

 No doubt the contribution of father and other family members to the process is also equally important. With a joint efforts we can have a newcomer walking on path of salvation." Gurudeo concluded

There was total silence in the room. I made a note to visit the place again with my daughter in law and my grand daughter-the little angle next time. While leaving the venue numerous waves and voices from past were emerging in my memories and ears. I looked upto the sky and bestowed my head with respect as a token of gratitude for the sufferings my parents passed through for our up bringing. I asked for forgiveness for any of my disrespect to them. Seeds of our religious

firmness ,faith and belief have roots in upbringing imparted by them. Grand salute to such noble souls. A single life is not sufficient for  paying of their debts, I feel every reader will agree with it--------!!!.

JAINISM-SIX PHASES OF SALVATION-------------!!!

I was very curious to know which salvation phases Gurudeo told on next day, when he was supposed to resume the balance portion of answer asked in last blog. I could not attend it next day, I collected notes based on the topic from one of my friend devotee during my current visit. I studied  those notes further to my possible extent.
I got some more explanation on notes and making it available to my Blog viewers -which can be immense useful to salvation seekers.
These notes were based on 03/01 Chapter of Bhagwatisutra and 68 Sutra of Rajprashniyasutra. To read blog with Aagam reference can be more useful to understand the subject easily and at more details.

 As a custom Devta and Indra from Heaven used to visit our Earth to meet Thirthankar Bhagwan. On visit of Devta Sanatkumar Indra and Suryabhadeo to Mahaveerbhagwan, Gurugautamswami asked Pujya Bhagwan fate and future of both of them so as to provide guidance to followers. In answer Bhagwan has informed how Moksha is being obtained in following six phases. Let us study it for future reference.

Bhagwan Mahaweerswami explained salvation process, which both above referred Devatas will be completing in a near positive way.
These six phases are  discussed below :
1) Bhav Siddik /Abhavsiddik
2) Samyagdrishti/Mithyadristhi
3) Parittasansariye/Aparittasansariye
4) Sulabbhodhiye/Durlabhbodhiye
5) Aarahaye/Virahaye
6) Charime/Acharime
First are positive and next shown by (/) mark are being negative for salvation. Since the terms used above are in original from Aagaam languages of Ardhamaghdhi, let us examine it's meaning  to clear concepts. These can also be taken as conditions to get salvation.

 1) Bhavi: Means eligible for salvation. One can not answer why one is Bhavi and another one is Abhavi. It is just basic nature of any soul. Thus plant can grow only in fertile land and not in desert. Similarly male can have mustache and beard while ,it is missing from female. One interesting thing is that all Bhavi souls will get salvation at the end. Since the number of such souls is infinite and time of salvation differs from each other -The Universe will always have Bhavi souls yet to be liberated. For Abhavi there is no option of salvation. They have endless life and death cycles. Bhavi means soul who will be able to cut off wrong faith and adopt  Bhagwant's teaching with the passage of time. With gain of Samyagdyan they will be able to do it.
2) Samyagdrishti:
 Samkit means having faith on Jinwani and teachings of Bhagwan.
From inception each soul is carrying  on with wrong believes.it is called as Mithyadrishti and termed as Krishnapakshi. After numerous life and death cycles dawn of right faith knocks the doors of given  the particular  a soul and he becomes Shuklapakshi. A positive era begins for salvation. Touch of Samyagdyan makes soul Shuklapakshi

 The Samkit touched may come and go. But now he is not new to it. Now ,he has came out of  countless cycles category and entered in defined cycles of Ardha Pudgal Parivartan category to get definite salvation. Once the soul entered  Shuklapaksha zone it has achieved  a predefined salvation period and he will not return to Krishnapaksh. In a nutshell he is marching for a definite salvation sooner or later.

If he is able to hold Samkit and opt for good deeds, he can have good life and death cycles in future. Otherwise he will finish his term with  many sorrowful cycles of life and death before getting salvation.
3) Parittasansari: Means balance of maximum 7 life of heaven and 8 life of human. Paritta means limited ambit of  domestic lives. Now the destination of salvation is in sight with a clear defined period.

It happens if Samkit is being got and soul does not fall from it. Soul has continuous Samkit in this category .In his last lecture Pujyashri Bhagwanmahaveer told very beautiful two lines in Uttaradhyansutra 36/266-- " Jinvayan Anuratta "-------------means soul having faith and respect in Jinwani becomes Parittasansari. They have limited  countable lives and death cycles. It requires conduct as per Jinwani

4) Sulabhbodhi: (Easy grasping, understanding constant liking)
 Means easy availability of right knowledge, right religion. right faith, easy circumstances to get  constant availability of best religious

opportunity to uplift soul. Such soul are interested to read maximum Aagaam, visit temple/Sthanak, meet Gurudeo, take participation in Chaturmas to have Dharmaprabhavna like etc. With out much efforts they can access various opportunities to follow great Jainism.
5) Aaradhaka- 
Now the soul has fully surrendered to Jinwani. His all actions are as per Bhagwan's teachings. Even in dream he cannot think otherwise.
His actions, faith, feelings. message all are as per Bhagwan's saying.

6) Charama: Means last. Now the soul will take only one life and then will not go for next life with body. He will nullify Karman and Tejas body causing new life. Soul will get salvation in current life.

 Thus the soul will take last birth  as human in Mahvideha khetra
 or other eligible place, take Diksha with Kewalibhagwan or Pujya Viharmanbhagwan, engage in  best religious practice and get salvation. Thus soul's long cherished dream come true.

 Now his all good/bad; Karmas and Deeds get nullified. The soul started with darkness layers, now it  removes all darkness and leaves body and leaves in crystal clear body less form in eternal peace for ever at top of universe known as "Siddhasheela".

 Now let us examine our inner soul-how far it has traveled on the path of salvation. I thanked the devotee and offered Vandana to Gurudeo and left the holy venue with delight .Let us at least reach

the stage of "Parittasansasari" to limit our next life and death cycles.
