Friends Chaturmas series lectures were in full swing. I attended one lecture last week. Gurudeo was explaining monk and their life style
to kids. Here is the coverage of summary points for all blog readers,
"Dear Kids by this time you came to know that without being monk-
salvation is not possible. you will be surprised to know the present number of monks in India. In world Jain population is approximately
90lac,while number of monk from all branches is on too lower side
hardly18000.So to teach 500 Jain only one Sadhu is available. The
number is less as to become monk ,the courage required is too high and special. Only souls having better accumulated good deeds can dare for it.Souls who have cleared most of Charitra Mohniya Karma can do it. Now, kids can ask any question doubts if you want.---- ?".
With due permission, one kid stood up and asked "Gurudeo Sir, why
monks are always wearing only white and non stitched clothes ?
"Let us see the background for it, Gurudeo started answer. You know Digamber branch of Jainism treat cloth as "Possession"( Parigraha) ,
hence they don't use any cloth. Amber means sky. Sky is cloth for all of them. Shwetamber branch treat as permitted it in Pancham-Kaal
by Bhagwan -used without loving it to avoid unnecessary attention if any of watching masses, specially for lady monks in our country.
Now let us see significance of white color. White represent the truth,
simplicity, purity, positive vibe and cleanness among all seven color. White also represent surrender to almighty. In the ancient time white
flags were used for surrender or negotiation at war front by soldiers.
Now let us study the reasons of non stitching. Sleeve, collar, color
and pocket represent anger. pride. cheating and greed. For example
at time of quarrel one is habitual to fold sleeves. For impression we
use tie so that collar can be tight shaped adding to our personality. To mix in mob people with wrong intentions avoid plain color and they
use mixed colors. Pockets are used to store money. Monks don't have any money. Most important point is that one has to be very and great
to kids. Here is the coverage of summary points for all blog readers,

careful to avoid any spot on white clothes. Likewise Jain monks are
always careful to keep their character spotless as guided Mahavrata.
Character is a most precious thing for a soul to safeguard at any cost.
These may be probable reasons to prescribe those white clothes.
Nevertheless when you grow up you can study Aagams to know
the exact reasons and prescription of Bhagwan." Pujya Gurudeo has
concluded. The satisfaction on kids faces was a too pleasant to watch I saluted Gurudeo and surprised with so many hidden secrets behind a apparently small case of selection of clothes by Bhagwan.
