JAINISM-WHY I AM A JAIN AND REASONS WHY I AM PROUD OF IT-----------!!!.

As per present trend, organizers have given the captioned subject to youngsters for essay presentation in this summer camp. The age for group was 15 to 25 year range. As a committee member, I was not in favor of this subject. In my younger days, the atmosphere was much different. Nobody was required to prove his nationality or speak for his own religion. Harmony in society was remarkable in those times.
Blowing one's trumpet is being order of the today. Since then much more water has flowed from river of co-existence, So I have got my  objection withdrawn. For my blog readers I am covering first twelve  selected points from compositions for readers study and knowledge.
Jain is devotee of Jinendra Bhagwan -who has conquered organs and 
mind "Indriyoko Jitnewala Jitendriya". They are free of love and hate
I am Jain and love religion because of following few and other point.
1.-I care for every soul. Deep in my heart, I know that whatever is not good felt by me ,cannot be good for other living too. Every soul love his life and loves to live it as per his own faith and own method.
2-I believe to live life based on moral values of non violence, truth,
non theft and non possession, It gave me tremendous inner peace.
3.-I am proud of my religion but equally respect all other faiths as
I believe, harming mind sentiment or feeling is also a act of violence.
I got basic training by Jainism  to care about effects of my tiny action
4.-I know the difference between body and soul. Still will not allow anyone to cut my body for food or experiment. With same logic ,I do not approve killings of innocent animals for personal reason or taste.
5.-Jain religion was founded by Arihant Bhagwan and Kewali and based on Aagams. All Jain God preach same Jinwani. Not a single word of it is contradictory to each other. It is constant for all times. I like the consistency and uniform basis of teachings without flaw.
6.Jain culture is being marked by unique legacy-- Samaik, Diksha,
monk ,fast, Chaturmas, Khamatkhamna, Pratikaman and Santhara.
All tools are designed to keep away from sins and cut down Karma.
7.Karma theory and freedom of soul are non-parallel teachings of
Mahaveer Bhagwan, the last Thirthankars of this period. Karma give a ownership feeling while facing the outcome coming as results. It  makes to be more cautious for using all organs mind and language, 

8.-I believe life after death concept of Jainism. It has made my all present actions accountable ensuring my good behavior. It also made me to restrict my free actions without caring for other living souls.
Moksha or liberation of soul is a most unique feature of Jainism. It says no can  make end of suffering without cutting roots of all birth and death cycles. It needs only existence of body less soul forever.
9.-My religion made my vision broad. I started to accept it that all
others can  have different opinion than my opinion. I respect it. Deep in my heart I knew that in absence of "Kewaldyan" knowing truth is too difficult.Truth can be reached by many interpretation and opinion
.As a result there is no point to be adamant for own opinion .I can listen carefully what other side believes without getting disturbed

10.--I could not find so deep analysis of soul and salvation moksha elsewhere. Jainism helped me to know root cause of my sufferings.
It help me to cut down on eighteen sins and go for Pachkhans.            11-I am thankful to Jainism for changing my basic concepts. Now with logic I can believe that the universe is self generated rather than created and controlled by god. Neither it has beginning nor it has any end. Even this cannot be my only life as awards and punishments for all my actions, I have to repay with same severity. It seems logical.    12.I can proudly say that my Jain religion has Nil black history. We  know from History other major religions black history for attacking other religion's worship places or malpractices for conversion of the devotees. My religion is based on respect and peace so it is totally free from such misadventures Total mankind history will vouch it.
13.I can give a small definition of what alphabets stand for the word Jain. It is belief in justice being just, affectionate for all living souls.
impartial in dealings, and lastly n stand for a nice human being in all.
Friends ,this is summary. It is an attempt to bring unique features for
 Jainism in a summary form. The attempt is absolutely free from any attempt for marketing or establishing any kind of own supremacy.
It is a symbolic presentation out of ocean of knowledge of Jainism.

JAI JINENDRA---------!!!-----------JAI MAHAVEERA---------!!!.
