Friends, before I complete second part of Gurudeo's details of 14 Niyams, I intend to share the time table of 2019 Chaturmas period.
It is based on details shared in by Gurudeo. Four months consists-
1.-Chaturmas starts full moon day--16/07/2019.
2.-8 days Paryushan Starts-----------27/08/2019.
3.-Most important day falls due on-03/09/2019.being Sawastari .It's on Bhadrapada Panchmi. The day is must for fast, various religious activities. Pratikaman and Kshamapana
4.-Veer Nirvan day or Dipawali---------27/10/2019.
5.-Kartika Poornima Chaturmas ends--12/11/2019.
One is free to follow time table prescribed by his branch of faith.
For most of Jain this "Mahaparva" is a heavenly gift .We can use the
period to clean layers of sins attached to soul. For Shrawaks, there is
no compulsion of any kind. Only one need to review life style and
decide quantum of Dharma engagement for salvation path. For the
balance 8 months we provide comparatively less time for Dharma.
We can use this period to clear the backlog. One needs to adjust his
daily routine. Bhagwan Mahaveer has recommended this period as
in this period of rainy season, maximum tiny souls are taking birth.
Without reason each one shall try to restrict travelling outside town.
Purpose of engagement in religious activities is to reduce Kashay.
Kashay of four types makes soul heavier with sins. In domestic life
routine, we may be victim of such Kashay If we spend time with the
surroundings of Guru,Sthanak or Derasar we can have good quality time spending in religious atmosphere. In this time we can avoid the
incoming sins. If a home is cautious to follow those 4 months with a
full devotion, it has indirect impact on kid's upbringing. To preserve
Jainism culture seniors must see to make it happen in own home.
If the kids attend Gurudeo's lecture in Paryushan they can hear the
"Antagarhasutra "and can know the 90 noble souls getting Moksha.
If they keep fast and offer "Khamatkhamna" on Sawastari, they can
know the inportance of "Sawastari and aayushyabandh".
For all of us this period of four months is a opportunity to reduce the burden of sins from our souls. Looking back, one may feel that he failed to an cash the Chaturmas opportunity earlier but now it cannot be late than never. So just decide to have maximum human
efforts this year. All the best to have best "Aaradhana" this time. A
word of cautious. This is a period of looking within the soul and
correcting it's mistakes. Please do not use this period as celebration,
sweets, processions, get together and musical nights .A simple and
maximum individual involvement may give better results.
Bhagwan Mahaveerswami warned in "Suyagadangsutra" that souls
who do not use time when it was available has nothing in hand than
to regret So in this harvesting time sow maximum seeds of Fast,
Samaik, Sawar and Poshad. It can make four months useful for soul.
