JAINISM--MANGLIK---THE MOST AUSPICIOUS PRAYER-----!!!

On the way to next destination ,Gurudeo happened to be at a place near to me.Kids education session was being scheduled. I joined the session. Gurudeo explained  meaning"Manglik and way to offer our
respect to Arihant and Siddha Bhagwan by Khmasano.For respecting monk "Tikutto " is being used. This blog aims to cover the session for readers .It can be very useful and it can serve lifelong purpose.
What is being seen in above  images is partial Manglik. One has to add following lines to complete it for full devotional sentiments.

 As a tradition once the Manglik is over by Sadhuji, Sharaks add---
"Agushte Amrit Base, Labdhi Tana Bhandar, Shri Guru
 Guatam samariye, Man Vanchit ( as per mind ) Fal Datar "
"Bhave( true,from heart ) Bhavna Bhaviye, Bhave Dije Daan
,Bhave Dharma Aaradhiye, Bhave Kewaldyan-----------------".

It is believed with tremendous faith that very fortunate people only get the chance to sing this prayer while taking last breath in current life. A true Jain always cherish the feeling to have it at last moment.
Hindi meaning of Manglik is most auspicious. Chattari means four, Uttam means finest, Log means universe, Saranam means surrender and Pawajami means most suitable or correct one or correct choice to offer self surrender. Knowing the meaning can add to feelings of us.

The detailed meaning  of itis being explained herewith for Manglik.
1-In the universe there are four auspicious. They are Arihant, Siddha. Sadhu and religion preached by Kewali Bhagwan.
2-In the universe, there are four finest among all. They are being--- Arihant, Siddha, Sadhu and religion preached by Kewali Bhagwan.
3-In the universe, there are only four places where soul should surrender his existence or take shelter. They are---Arihant Bhagwan. Siddha Bhagwan, Sadhu and religion preached by Kewali Bhagwan.
4--I take surrender of all of these  four greatest deities. Sadhu here referred are monks walking on salvation path exactly as guided by Bhagwan irrespective of branch. It does not means only white clothe wearing monks .Word "Sadhu" used here is in most broader sense.
It covers 3rd and 4th position of Aacharya and Upadhya in Sadhu.
Kewali means soul, near salvation who obtained Kewaldyan and Kewaldarshan. They start educating masses after obtaining correct
knowledge and faith. Their salvation is definite at  thefixed time. 
 Bowing down to all of four is a tool to eliminate lower class birth and getting favorable conditions for walking on path of salvation. It is a best tool for all Bhavi souls to adopt the ways taught for benefit of soul i. e. it gets permanent salvation for soul at top of universe.

There is a tradition in Jain community to chat Manglik while leaving home. Jain monk usually give it to devotees who visit them.
While monks are giving Manglik, Shrawaks needs to say-"Jee" or
"Tahati" at breathing point. Tahati means -it is truth what you say.
Just try Manglik, then one will not need to bow any else where. As a
practice before giving it permission of 4 is taken. Mahaveerswamiki
Aadnyase.Simandharswamijiki Aadnyase,Gurudeoki Aadnyase
Badoki Aadnyase ,Manglik Dene Ki Aadnya se-------------!!!: ".
To offer respect to Arihant, Siddha and Kewali, the prayer used is called Khamasano. For respecting  monk "Mathen Vadami " or
"Thikhutto" ( 3 times bowing down to 3 virtues-knowledge, faith and character).Monk means a bridge which connect Bhagwan Dharma   and devotees. Hence respect to them is must for all Jain devotees.

Prayer must be  followed with proper action, respect and sentiments. For meaning of Khamasano one has to refer "Pratikaman  Sutra". It is indeed very meaningful and vanishes or reduce  our 18 sins.
Hearing or giving this Manglik must be with high and pure inner feelings. It is counted as "Swadhya".Let us learn this simple, divine  
and auspicious Mangalcharan and spread it to the masses. Please just
take care to avoid expectations of miracles happening from it. Myself

generally ends Manglik with remembering3 symbolic names of our Jain Thirthankar and seven monks as a sense of gratitude. As all of them made me to know and learn Jainism being my Gurudeo.
Rubhavaay Nama,Parshwanathay Nama,Mahaveerswamiji Nama. Samarthguru,Chapakguru Prakashguru,Kanchangurunisa Nama. Uttamguru, Nirjanaji and Sarjanaji Nama.(Dyangachha Sampadray).
All of these and more others helped me to walk on salvation path.
Readers can replace these names by their respective Gurudeo .Really without  guidance all of such "Anant Upkari" souls we all could not have known Jainism, it's greatness and it's power to free many souls.
