JAINISM-BASIC 9 TATVA OF JAINISM WITH BOAT AS AN EXAMPLE-------!!!

It was my first attendance to current year's summer camp for kids.
The lecturers were learned Swadhayee from Rajasthan with a good study materiel based on Jainism. I found it very easy to understand even for kids. Hence sharing it with  blog readers for easy grasping.
The lecturer started the subject. " Dear kids today, I will discuss here
very basic concept with you. To understand Jainism, this is first basic lesson. I will try to explain the nine basics of it by a picture, It is only for preliminary introduction. When you grow, can cover details. It is most important topic. All items visible or invisible of universe are being covered by it. On search ,one can conclude that nothing is left.


Please carefully watch the picture- assume. Mr. X is leaving in  city
named A and wish to reach a distant city  as Z. He is using a boat for journey. A city represents domestic life while city Z being  salvation.
Mr. X is a living soul (Jeeva) while boat is a non living ( Ajeeva).

Sooth sailing will be due to good fortune ( Punya ) while the facing cyclones or hitting rock is out of bad deeds ( Paap). Hitting on rock caused hole in boat. The hole is allowing water to come inside boat. Such incoming is termed as "Aasarva".The sailor closes the hole so as to prevent further water coming in. His religious actions are called
as "Sanwar". It prevents more bad Karmas to attach with soul. The sailor also tries to throw so far accumulated water out for cleaning . 

The cleaning  of boat is "Nirjara".The water made his body wet and dirty. It is "Bandh". With much efforts, he can clean and dry  body and throw entire water out of boat and reach at bank of dream city Z.
On reaching the destination, get down from boat at bank of-- Z city. Leaving boat and entire cleaning suggests that, he has cleared all good deeds and bad deeds before arriving at destination Z Moksha. 
He stands up on bank for a moment .Delighted with the thought of entering entire new world. As a custom the citizens of city Z do not wear clothes, Automatically he gave up clothes means body and organ Now Mr. X's pure body enters city Z It is Moksha / salvation.

Hope you have understood the basics. Now I invite your comments or question. I request you to take it as preliminary study. On growing up you can study each chapter " The lecturer concluded. I thanked all of them for such marvelous job for society and coming generation
