JAINISM----CHANGES NEEDED FROM PANDEMIC------!!!

Friends, few of my relatives found positive from Corona. I could not meet them due to their isolation and personal safety reasons. But I used  talk to them, once they felt some relief. Such talk increased my faith in Jainism and it's living style. Herewith, I try to pen down the talk summary. Hopefully it will make readers to think future living. One must appreciate even negative circumstances can offer good lessons if taken in right perceptive and spirit. Let us search positives of this trauma that is haunting human race all over entire world. Pain the families faced is beyond words. In most cases full family got infected as the virus entered community transmission phase. Their sufferings and dependence on society can only be imagined by us.

 The basic "Bhavna" of Jainism that soul comes alone and goes alone is very much true. In the room where patient is made to quarantine, no body dares to enter. Even the disposal and rituals of dead body become a big issue. Jainism correctly say soul is the only and only friend of herself. Worshipping places like Thirth ,Temple. Sthanak, Upashray. Gurudeo cannot be available all the times. We generally defer our religious study, learning and activities to our later stage of 

old age. There is no guarantee for any life and it is too uncertain whether one will ever reach that stage. Reading and Swadhya of all Aagams can be with us till the last birth. It needs only availability of books. It is comparatively easy. Hopefully we start working on it. Now let us inspect our behavior. Infection in lower income group

may be justified as they have to move to keep the kitchen fire going on. But in case of most cases of upper class infection, they are on account of parties, social gatherings and opening of working places for not to miss revenue targets. The greed of wealth played a major

role in spreading the infection. No doubt, there are few genuine cases where attendance becomes a must out of duty like doctors, nurses and pharmacist. Even some social workers serving meals and other necessities got affected. That can be sheer bad luck and destiny. In most other cases it was negligence to observe social distancing. The

root cause of this pandemic seems to be eating living birds to fulfill the taste of mouth and stomach. Unless, we decide to ban  all food other than vegetarian food, the havoc will be unavoidable. One may learn or may not learn from mistakes. But it for sure entire world has to pay cost of mistakes. One also can observe that for living very few things are needed. All extravagance is a show business. Old people were much happy than us even when they lived simple life. Easy

money made all of us victim of status symbol. Exhibiting wealth and money power force us to live a wild life dominated by social evils. Let our next generation be taught to have simple living and more God fearing. It can put break on bad habits and having healthy life style. Such change if effected can be a blessing in long, I feel.The

faith in Mahaveer Bhagwan can definitely source of positive energy.

JAINISM--A RARE JAIN BIRTH OPPORTUNITY-------------!!!.

Friends as of every one of you, the pandemic given comparatively more free time to me. I utilize it more for reading about human life.
A small paragraph cached my eyes and made me to think about it.
Herewith I share same with you. Human nature is mostly marked by unsatisfied nature. We do not value things we get- naturally. We do
not care for immense utility life gets from air, water, sun and soil.
Similarly, we seldom know value of life to born as a human. If as a
Human we get birth in Jain legacy nothing can be as precious as it .If by chance if it is in India like Aarya country ,it can be a best destiny.

Let me justify content based on above paragraph. I could not verify
the figures of it. Still, I quote it for to stimulate thinking by readers.
The writer gave the classification of total births in universe. He says
In a each second ,100 billions soul takes birth in universe. Out of it
largest birth portion belongs to animals and plants ( Tiryanchgati ).
Their share amounts to 99 billions in above. In the residual balance
of 1 billion,99 cores souls take birth in Heaven or Deologa. In the
last 1 crore births- 99 lac soul take birth in hell. Now counting is
limited to only 1 lac births. Out of it 99000 souls find birth in tiny
category of "Samuchhimjiva" like mosquitoes. Now in last 1000

births as Human,900 births happens in Anaryadesh means countries
where no Jainism is followed as religion .Jain food and Jain monks
are rare .In 100 births in Aaryadesh 99 souls take birth in other than
Jain religion. Only single soul is fortunate enough to get the unique
Jain religion. From other religions some pure souls with study may
decide to follow life style similar to Jainism. The figures may be
estimated but the principles are matching. As plants and animals are largest  category followed by heaven, hell and human.

The purpose of this blog is not to boast any one particular religion.
It is to highlight the faith which cares for human life. We have seen
how difficult to get a a birth in human race .For such a born, to take
care for his life, freedom and liberty is equally important. Hope now
we all  thanks our Karmas or good deeds which gave us a chance
to born as a human in India. Let us make event more meaningful. Let

us repeat the deeds and take a new chance to born in Mahavideha
Kshetra as Jain and surrender to Arihant Bhagwan so as to get the
salvation or Moksha as soon as possible. Salvation is the only one
remedy which can prevent us visiting 84 millions places of births.
One may be Jain by his deeds not necessarily Jain by birth only.

Living with Jain value is more important. Birth in a Jain family do
not give a birth right to get Jain religion automatically in next life
cycles. In current birth how one use the life is more important. Hope

my fellow brothers and sisters note it and work hard for salvation.
Let us follow Jainism with real term as meant by Mahaveerswami.
Let this auspicious Manglik gave us the power to use life wisely.
