Friends memories cannot be said to be completed unless one shares memories of parents .Parents and teachers play a major role to shape
mental frame of a kid. I was not exception to this basic rule. On the
contrary, I was more gifted compared to my counterparts. My father was an educated personality. In British era of pre- independence .he
has completed matriculation. he was well read.Many poems and Sholaks from Geeta, Manache-sholak, he remembered well.He was
well traveled for Gurudarshan and Thirth. I remember visiting with
him to Ahmedabad, Jodhpur and many other Thirth. Yearly he used
to welcome devotees with sugar juice on Mahveer Jyanti. As per
family legacy he used to practice preaching of Pujya Jaymaljiguru.
He has a deep faith for Jainism. Due to engagement he failed to be
fully engaged in it. He has too many friends in town. T hat can be a good thing from living in small town. Almost whole town get to
know you well and vice versa. His generation may not have a
higher education in today's term. But they all were highly educated
in art of living. I never saw a fear or nervousness on his face even
facing odds of life. He was a ardent believer of Karma theory of our
Jain religion. I still recall his four Sutra of life as he usually spoke.
1.As per his simple Karma theory all living soul are being governed
by self built Karmas. Not a single other force can trouble us. He
taught me to keep silence in bad time and move on silently. As per
his theory to challenge time and destiny may invite more trouble.
2.-Marathi Sant Tukaram has one famous Abhang."Aaliya Bhogasi
Asave Sadar".It means we must face all risen Karma with coolness.
Tukarammaharaj and Ramdaswami were his favorites one.
3.-His favorite 1 liner was "Honi Ko Namskar Hai".Honi means
happening. Whatever happens,respect it and move on softly.To
adjust with happenings or events is only available in our hands.
4.-Forth simple one liner his father taught him and he shared with
us. It was " Niti Mein Khot Nahi".Niti derived from Hindi word
"Niyat"means intentions and Khot means wrong. Never to act with wrong intentions. Your decisions may be wrong but never with bad
or wrong intentions of harming others. It makes one fearing sins.
I was witness to possible extent of his major up and down between
his period (1926 to 1992) including his illness. I was surprised to
imagine how he carried on his struggle. Till today I am proud of him
and his generation .I really wonder how his generation lived life with such a easy attitude for life together. Caring for each other and the
strong bondage with religion was their basic foundation .It helped
all of them to live a king size life even with less money. no any
other help of laptop, net or Google and less or no medical facilities.
He treated his whole circle as one family. As a senior member ,he
took care of each one without caring for personal financial loss.
I remember a Urdu-sher for his fighting spirit. It says like this---.
( Nakudha means sailor and Langar means parking rope of ship).
Lastly I remember my mother for her determination. She was not
much educated. But at advice of Gurumata, she learnt Pratikaman
after reaching plus 50 years of age. Her speed of work, expertise in
cooking and ability to bought up kids was really amazing. I feel proud for both of them and their entire generation. One needs to
have much positive accumulated Karmas to have such parents.
I am sure everyone from us must have such wonderful parents.
At last pay my tribute to my dad with his favorite song of Kavi
Pradeep. With philosophy similar to song he tried his best to offer
help to his his possible level to his circle, friends and relatives .It is
but natural in time of distress so many hands backed him.
JAI JINENDRA--------------!!!--------JAI MAHAVEERA-----!!!.
