JAINISM----CHATURMAS 2020.--A REAL SELF TEST-----!!!.

Friends the 2020 Chaturmas is knocking the door. It will be starting from 04/07/2020.The day is "Aashad Sudi chodas".It will end as on
29/11/2020 being "Kartik Sudi Chodas".This year the Chaturmas is
arriving in a serious circumstances dominated by Corona pandemic.

The other important dates are being shared hereunder for devotees.
1.-Paryushan start on 16/08/2020 being "Vadi Teras of Bhadrapada.
2.-Sawastari as on 23/08/2020 being "Shukla Panchmi" It is also end of Paryushan. This is as decided by "Stanakwasi" branch. For
devotees of other branches can check respective calendar to follow.
3.-Mahaveer Nirvan 14/11/2020 being "Amawasya of Vadi Kartik.
 I have added the words real test to tittle due to existing conditions.
At most places "Gurudeo" reached to have "Chaturmas". Whether
they can give lectures and devotees can go to hear them in temple?,
Upashray or Sthank is quite uncertain. Looking to gravity of given
prevailing circumstances, there are restriction on public gatherings.
In such a case if we miss it,there will be absence of motivation.

I thought how I can motivate myself ? After some reading -Aagams
and meditation, I could get a clue. If all who survived the disaster of
Covid-19,can try to search the cause of their strength during period
Nov.-2019 till date ,they can get answer. Our religious practice ,our
good deeds of past and less engagement in sins supply us all a inner
confidence adding to positive energy. Such energy is a booster dose
to our inbuilt immunity system. It is not otherwise for who faced the
adverse. For them something may have failed due to misfortune.

Friends we may have to carry on the Chaturmas at home. It may be
be difficult but can teach our self some good things forever. Beside
regular Samaik,Pratikaman. 25 Bol,33Bol ,we can turn to read holy
Aagams. One can definitely add "Puchisunam" and fast as per own  capacity.If nothing out of above can  happen, we can practice to
lead a peaceful simple life free of Kashay. We have to carry on the
Chaturmas with whatever Gurudeo has guided us for so many years
This is a real self examination to get "Nirjara" in absence of Punjya
Guru Bhagwant. One should not miss "Antagarasutra" in eight day
of holy Paryushan. Similar is the importance of "Uttaradhyansutra"
at Veernirvan day of Dipawali. Hopefully blog readers remember
the importance of "Aayushyabandh" on holy day of" Sawastari." 
On this holy day try to free soul from anger. Clear all past wrong
done to you by forgiving and asking for "Khamat-Khamna".

So friends with all the best wishes for self examination test. It will
be unwise to miss this year without adding to our Nirjara. A farmer
never misses to sow the seeds to ripe the benefits of monsoon. Four
months is a rare opportunity to clear layers of Karmas over soul by
taking it near to salvation or Moksha as soon as possible.


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