aspects of Navkarmantra so some new members can be benefited.
It is most unique and auspicious summary of Jainism. It implies following two important points. I hope it will be useful to you all.
1-Status,power,wealth,personality is immaterial. Only virtues of soul needs to be worshiped when you surrender to highest authorities
2-Bowing down with proper and correct feelings and due respect is best way to show gratitude for such great divine and pure powers.
It is bowing down to 108 virtues of souls included in this mantra viz- Arihant (12) + Siddha (08) + Aacharya (36) + Upadhya (25), +Saadhu (27). One can study it from Pratikaman book. Arihant and Siddha is ultimate destination and last three are travelers to achieve the aimed target. With correct life they will attain target on due time
All those souls who have conquered enemies of soul, can become Arihant and Siddha irrespective of caste, creed. nationality and other constraints. Out of eight Karmas, Siddaha Bhagwan conquered all 8 Karmas while Arihant Bhagwan and Kewali Bhagwan has yet to clear body related 4 non severe Karma (Aghati).They have already fully cleared severe and dangerous four Karmas namely ( Ghati ).It is Naam,Aayushya,Gotra and Vedniya as long as their body remains.
They will finish the body related all four Karmas before getting salvation on due moment. 20 Viharman are at present are "Arihant".
Let us discuss ways to honor it. You are aware of honoring National Flag, National Anthem ,parents, seniors and teachers. Like it is most important to honor Navkarmantra for all times and all ages groups.
A.-Honoring Navkarmantra.
B- Honoring Arihant and Siddha Bhagwan.
C- Honoring Aacharya, Upadhya and Monks (Saadhuji).
A- One may be chattering Navkarsutra often with pure heart. Most such time ,he is away from sins. But that is not sufficient to get him salvation. Real way to honor it is to mediate and think that which virtues of those five entities made them so great and respected-----? When ,I will able to have it .I have to work hard in correct direction.
How can I improve my knowledge, faith and character. How can, I conquer bad qualities of my soul, body and organs. In no case, we
shall use this pure Mantra with a hope to end current sufferings and gain domestic and material pleasures. Getting to Moksha be only aim
B-To honor Arihant and Siddha Bhagwan , one must have full faith on their teachings. Others or science may tell it to be wrong. But it should not shatter your faith. Reason being, science is in process of discovering truth .It's truth finding mission is a on going process for ever. It can not claim that all current findings are nothing but truth.
It's so called truth may be challenged tomorrow and may turn out to be false or half truth. But teachings of our Jineshwar Bhagwan is
immortal,same and permanent and will not change at any given time.
So admit that with my limited knowledge ,I may not understand the teaching completely but it is the only "TRUTH". Deep in my heart- I believe it more than hundred percentage truth no matter what I hear.
Take care, not to ask any material possession from these noble soul. Only pray to have their guidance to get salvation. Facing 8 Karma's results in a calm and quite way is the real and true tribute to them.
It is equally important to note that Mahaveerswami and all other Siddhas are body less noble souls, so do not attempt to offer them bath by water or milk and worship by flowers or rice, even if it is symbolic. Secondly out of greed do not name your commercial ventures on names of these great souls like Arihant travels, Mahveer marbles, Parshvanaath Jewelers etc. If you cannot change name now ,take care not to cheat customers under name of those great souls.
C-This category honor is most difficult task. One may be from ages unknowingly worshiping a wrong entity. This can be the big wrong dishonor of Navkarmantra. Worshiping wrong Saadhu can lead to a sins as explained by Mahaveerswami in 08/06 "Asanvrut Angaar" chapter of Bhagwatisutra. One must read it to understand it fully.
We are not fortunate enough to see Arihant and Siddha Bhagwan in current life. Still we have last three categories entrusted with task of
keeping the Jainism torch lit for ever. Please note only white dress and prescribed tools cannot make any monk a true Saadhu or correct follower of Bhagwan. His character and knowledge needs to be get tested to the extent of his character and how he behave for it's safety.
One may be a very good orator with sound Jainism knowledge. But this may not be sufficient to worship him. His full conduct for self according to Jinwani is a real test. To mislead masses with disguise
of Saadhu is greatest sin ever one can commit. Some are doing it.
True test is that if he is free from affection and hate and whether he is fully committed to save all the living souls. Check if he is after his name, fame and funds raising. Whether he favors particular set of people ,rich followers and hate others. Whether he is operating cell phones, laptops.running face book ,twitter and What's up accounts ,giving photo sessions and hosting television programs. He may be using vehicles for travel and asking ready food at doorstep so many deviations are possible. These are not recommended by true Jainism.
No where Bhagwan asked, Saadhu to spread Jainism. Because one can get it only on strength of accumulated positive good deeds. Even Bhagwan never stopped his two disciples namely Jamali and second Goshalak when both refused to believe truth. Foremost monk has to concentrate on his own soul and secondly then to guide the interested followers to attain salvation. He must not engage in any activity where he fails to compromise his "Twelve Mahavratas".Bhagwan has provided a detailed guidance on allowed actions by Saadhu in the "Aagam " particularly Nishit ,Dush-Vekaalik and Aacharangsutra. He must be within those specified boundaries set. Handful monks may be adopting easy going attitude (Shithilachhar) due to Mittyatav rise
It is a pleasant surprise large number is trying hard to be on correct path without any slight deviation from Jinwani's path for monks.
Thus one must be careful to avoid worshiping wrong entity. If you are fortunate enough to have real Saadhu as teacher, then you can know Jainism well and there is no harm to worship him as he will lift you and himself on the way of salvation .One must take care to
chat Navkar in original form without any affix like "Om" etc. like.
I was informed that in Buddhism dominated country it is an offence
to use Buddha's name with disrespect. We shall bear it in mind and
not to use Bhagwan's name for commercial use. In India number of
organizations are named using Mahveer, Arihant and Parshvanath.
Please excuse me for being too harsh and critical but that is the only way out to keep your "SAMKIT" intact and to avoid dishonor of
