JAINISM--BRANCHES (PRAKURTI) OF KARMA---!

Friends here is the summary of Gurudeo's lecture from my diary. He
was addressing the devotees in pre-Diwali reading of "Uttradhyan"
Sutra before Veer-Nirvan day .It is a Jain tradition since salvation of
Mahaveerbhagwan. His lecture was based on Thirty three chapter of Sutra titled as "Karmaprakurti" Let us study these important notes.
" Devanupriya you all know Karma theory to be foundation of our
Jain religion. You all know the types of  eight Karmas with nature. It can add to have more knowledge related to sub divisions of Karma.

With a too kind heart gesture Bhagwan has given detail of all eight 
Karma for us. The only purpose of him behind it was to make all of
us aware of  which can be executed or avoided. He sub- divided the
Karmas in 148 branch or Prakurti. When 26 branches are being kept
aside for nature purpose 122 branches remains. Out of it he told 42
branches to be good for conduct while 80 are to be avoided.80 are
causing building of bad future in current or next lives. Today I will
explain in brief the nature of these branches of Karma tree.

First let me brief you first the tally of 8 Karma and 148 branches.
Some Aacharya count additional 10 for Naam making total  to 158.
Devotees can refer"Pradhyapanasutra"02/23 chapter for details of all sub branches. Karma is the sole reason of all varieties in the living
souls in universe. In Bhagwati 12/05 Mahaveerswami clearly told the
basic truth. Universe is full of Karma particles. They at their own do
not get fixed with any soul unless invited .Soul invites them by his
actions. love. hate and Kashay. Sugarcane and chilly seeds may get
same soil, sunlight .air water but the resultant crop will be a totally
different in taste. This is the power of Karma. It can make the soul of
Thirthankar or Nerkiya in 7th hell. Hence soul conduct is important.

Jain literature has detailed coverage on Karma doctrine. The most
widely followed Granth is "Karmagranth" penned down in 13th-14
centuries by "Aacharya Shrimad Devendrasuriji".Sthankwasi branch
approve it as Granth as few interpretation is not matching Aagam.
Aacharya Mishrilalji Maharaj and Aacharya Devendaramuniji have
interpreted it in book titled as "Karmagranth" and " Karma-Vidyan". 
Devotees interested in deep study must spare time to read it once.
Karma rises are of two types. Pradesh and Vipak, Pradesh rise are
limited to Aatma-Pradesh. But "Vipak uday" Karma give a good or
bad experience to be felt. If not taken in right spirit can cause more
Karma attachment to soul.J ainism teache facing them in cool ways.

As per chart Naam and Mohniya Karma's branches have maximum
branches. Mohniya Karma is most difficult to clear. The reason for it is our inability to remain neutral and confined to our own soul. We
have opinion for every thing and accordingly we love and hate the
things. Naam karma has largest branches. This is the reason of seen
varieties in living souls. Naam Karma covers birth, organ, body type
parts of body, structure body, color, smell .taste ,voice, success and
failure in life. One may be too famous with lot of followers where as
other may be neglected in own family. Detail are available in book.

One thing is sure that a most small action of soul through it's mind 
body and speech is sufficient for Karma to get attached to the soul.
Hence mind your action Karma is waiting for your invitation. Be 
particular ,think twice before acting" Gurudeo concluded lecture.
