Sometimes ,I really envy innocence and frankness of kids. I recently experienced what I miss on attaining maturity. Particular incidence happened in question/answer session of Gurudeo on eve of Mahaveer Jayanti's kids camp. One kid around four years age asked Gurudeo "Sir, Can I see and meet Mahaveer Bhagwan now. ? We all eagerly waited, how Gurudeo pacify her query. Here goes the summary of answer. It can be a very guiding and touching piece for my readers.
"Dear kids ,I will try to explain it in simpler words. Unfortunately,
presently we cannot see and meet Him. "The girl raised hand and stood up and interrupted "No sir, I am meeting Him everyday, when I visit temple with my daddy ". Is it ? Gurudeo continued with a smile " Dear, it is a temporary and symbolic adjustment by all of us. If it is a statue or photo. It cannot be real. It is a medium invented by us
through which all devotees can visualize existence of Bhagwan in.
temple or even without it in Sthanak. I hope you got this basic clear.
Now Bhagwan is in body less form at top of world. It is known as
"Siddahsheela",So how can he be here ?.Similarly he is one and left human body before 2600 plus years, so how he can be on earth and in every temple ?. You just think and tell me answer later on.
The kid failed to understand but seemed to be disturbed and sad. She sat down and started listening carefully. We felt really sorry for her
disappointment. "My dear kids, there is nothing to loose heart with ground reality. I am sorry for telling harsh truth. But fact is fact.
To meet Him indirectly even if you look up at sky and bow down saying in mind "Namo Siddhanam ",it is sufficient to reach to
him. All Arihant ,all Kewali and all Siddah can see and can hear us .I will certainly show you ways to meet Mahaveeraswami.
But you need to get help from your daddy to understand it, as you
grow up. Now ,I invite seniors to note down points, so that later on
you can tell the truth to kids in easy and lighter ways.
In Jainism we believe to have God in 5 forms as per Navkarmantra

In Jainism we believe to have God in 5 forms as per Navkarmantra
They are Arihant. Siddha ,Aacharya,Upadhya and Sadhuji. Arihant
Bhagwan are at Mahavedehakheshtra at present. They are 20 in number. Siddhabhagwan are at top. They are in countless numbers.
Later 3 forms are at our present Bhagwan on earth. They all are actually in one in form of Sadhuji. Aacharya and Upadhay are their higher qualification and qualities. Panchparmesthi have 108 virtues.
Now we need to discuss how we can see and meet first two highest
form of God ? Looking to kids sitting capacity, let us meet again
