MAHAVEER BHAGWAN-----DUTIES TOWARDS PARENTS------JAINISM------!!!

Friends I am covering a heart touching incident from lecture attended by me today i.e. full moon day. Few devotees were gathered to offer respect to Gurudeo before lecture starts. The Queue was moving on. The organizer committee member was introducing new devotees and
members to Gurudeo. He introduced an old man to Gurudeo who has
came to meet Gurudeo from old age homes. Gurudeo just kept his
silence and offered him blessings with his advice---- "Daya Palo".

 I within myself admired Gurudeo when he touched the subject
during his lecture. "Friends. today I will just recall some incidents
from Grantha based on life of Mahaveer Bhagwan. We all know he has two sets of parents. His first parents are Bramins being mother as
Devananda and Rishabhdatta. As a rule Thirthankar Bhagwan take
birth in Khatriyakula only. But as Bhagwan has to repay his old bad
karma of pride built in life of Marichi, he could not take birth in the
top background. In Marichi's life knowing his bright future from
Rishabhdeo Bhagwan, Mahaveer swami has expressed proud and his self praise .Then "Indra" arranged soul transfer to uterus of queen
Thishalamata wife of King Siddartha Raja from Devanandamata.
First pair of Bhagwan  Devananda and Rishabhdautta taken Diksha
 and obtained salvation while second pair are in Deologa currently.
Trisalamata saw 14 dreams as Bhagwan's soul came in her womb. Thirthankar always take birth with four knowledge. In womb,
Bhagwan came to know that his mother is suffering due to his
movements. To stop it, Bhagwan stopped own movements. But it
created confusion in mind of Trishalamata. She thought that the new
baby met with death so she seems to be silent. She became sad and
gave up eating. The changes in mind and behavior of mother can not go unnoticed from Bhagwan. He restarted his movements. Further  Bhagwan Mahaveer thought in his mind that mother is loving him so much
 before birth. Definitely the love and affection will be more
higher scale, once he enters the outer world. Then if he goes for
Diksha to become monk. the parents would not bear the shock of his
parting. So in womb itself Bhagwan taken a vow not to become Jain
monk during life time of parents. When he was in  mid youth after completing around 26th age the parents went for heavenly abode.
Then Bhagwan announced plans to leave domestic life for Diksha.
The elder brother Nandivardhan told Bhagwan that still the family
could not come out of shock of parents demise. So his mind is not yet ready to face another blow. On his plea Bhagawan delayed his
decision by another two years. Then he left domestic life in search
of eternal peace. Rest part of his life, his sufferings and difficult tap and obtaining last destination of Moksha ,we all  aware. Here I wish
to share his message to devotees Gurudeo continued in choked voice.

Through Aagams he explained ever lasting and non payable debts of mother, father and Gurudeo. Everybody carries burden of their  this
unique obligations. Just note, not to run away from own moral duty

by keeping parent in old age home. One may have own problem, but
do the best to have their blessing while living with own family. In

society the changes in attitude of children became apparent once

they  get married and start earning. But today make a promise to own self that will never cause any agony to my parents. That can be the minimum token repayment" Gurudeo concluded emotional appeal. 

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