JAINISM---TEACHINGS OF MAHAVEERSWAMI-----------!!!

Current year's Mahaveer Jayanti will be held on 29th March 2018. Gurudeo while going to next destination ,was in our city for two days.We requested him to cover topic of life and message of Shri
Mahaveer Bhagwan in lecture of next day. He agreed for it. I liked 
the lecture very much. Here is the summary for blog readers.
"Friends, each year we gather to offer respect to this great soul on his birthday anniversary. Most people term it as celebration marked with procession, plays based on his life, lectures and sweets.
I urge you to mark it always in simple way as a Thanks giving day. With his arrival in world .universe came to know the ways to keep away from sins, ways to cut negative Karmas and free the soul
from chain of  lives and deaths. One cannot get such teachings from any other source. He showed us the eternal light to lead peaceful life.

He taught us the tremendous power of Karmas and equally matching 
power of  a soul. Our sincere thanks must always be due to him.
Now, May I request you to carefully read ,the wall frame fixed on wall behind my table. It's meaning is very deep and read as-------!!!.

Thus in a true sense ,he is guide for salvation and not a authority to 
grant Moksha. (Translation of meaning of frame in English)

Mahaveer's teachings can be studied in following three ways--------.
1.A lay man can get introduced with him with that frame only.
2.To know him, one has to become Shrawak and read Aagam. and
3.To understand him and his way of living one has to become monk

 Leading a simple life and concentrating on cutting of bad Karmas
only can offer any soul a happy ending was his simple message.
Most of us wrongly interpreted his teachings. He never suggested
to worship him blindly. He expected us to adopt him as role model while living current life. We have confined him only for 3 days.  Mahaveer Jayanti, his Nirvan day and Savstari day celebration.
Where as his teachings must guide us  all 24x7 hours each day.

If we can check with us whether. we have adopted his minimum two teachings. the results can be disturbing. Let us check it as sample
non- violence and forgiveness ,can we practice fully ? Do we care for all living one and treat them at par with us ? Do we care for our words or action used for others ? If we regret our wrong doings ?

Forgiveness is too difficult to adopt. A mosquito bites you at night since ,he is unaware of your sufferings, in absence of knowledge.
How you react is test of your understanding Mahaveera. You all 
know Bhagwan's reaction when snake took his bite.
Thus to aim for salvation and work hard to fullest of own capacity  can be said to be his message to all Jain and other living souls."
 Gurudeo concluded .The gathering ended in deep thoughts. I thought to myself, really to study Mahaveer ,he must be in heart.
Superficial devotion cannot serve the main purpose. 

JAI JINENDRA--------!!!--------- JAI MAHAVEER---------!!!.
