JAINISM-SILENCE IS GOLD-MOUNVRATA.--!.

Friends today we will study benefits of silence on the eve of "Moun Gyaras". In Jainism to keep silence for a predetermined period is part of "Tap". Today is Migsarsudi Gyaras. Many devotees of Jainism are celebrating this day by keeping "Upwas" with Moun for the full day.

We have studied 25 Bol. A soul carries ten Prans to live life. Organ that helps him to speak is tongue or "Rasnedrya".As a basic rule a soul is deprived of any organ in next birth which he uses wrongly. We see so many unfortunate  cases of  dumbness and blind ones. To preserve energy silence can be a best tool. We learn in school that if speech is silver, silence is gold. Self study can vouch this basic truth.

Jain monks always follow rules for speaking as per "Bhashasamiti".

In daily life we can see much more noises and heated arguments. It can reach to such a ugly end results that can see termination of all of human relations. Divorces, separations from parents can be some of end results. I do not know the truth but as alleged a one line sentence

from Draupadi to Duryodhan was one of the reason for Mahabharat. The modern science measure the noise pollution of big cities. In such a background if we decide to speak minimum needed or decide to keep silence for a pre-decided  time we can feel much more at peace.

Jainism combined fast and keeping silence as Tap so as to practice 2 virtues of Siddha Bhagwan. Those two virtues out of many are being "Anaharak and Abhashi".We know Bhagwan Mahaveer started to give Jinwani Deshna only after 12.5 years after He achieved great Kevaldyan and Kevaldarshan We are aware that experts speak only when asked for opinion. They expresses their view in limited words. Whereas fools or half know ledged people used to shout regularly.

Even if one observe a deep  river  has no voice while a small water flow will be flowing with making more noise. Silence gives power to think before speaking. It adds to deeper thinking and concentration. I know few devotee who don't talk at all for a day in a week by doing "Mounvrata".They keep writing option open to communicate.

Hopefully readers will think about benefits of keeping silence and do the "Mounvrata" to possible extent. It can help later for meditation. 

 As proved by science our tongue  has no bones but too powerful to harm or heal others. Use of sweet words and precise encouraging words can create a good communication atmosphere. Thus to speak wisely, precisely and only when needed can be our asset. To speak may be comparatively easy but keeping silence is too difficult. Let us see how this tool all of  us can use more efficiently and wisely.

JAINISM--THREE LETTERS TO GOD----------!!!.

Friends, herewith I share in brief first three prize winning letters. The competition was held at the the eve of last day of Chaturmas. This is arranged by city's Jain Sangh for three divisions based on ages. All

these letters show changing thought of man over various age stages. Reader can check if they can identify with contents at a given point. 

 1-Letter from kids group :-Thanks ! God for your various gifts for me and such a beautiful things around me. Thanks, again for such a lovely mom. Dad is also good but a little strict. Little sister- Aarvi is not bad but I wish you could have given her a more level and good intelligence to be at par with me. I visit temple each day to meet you with my mom. She say you can see all and grant all wishes of  all the devotee. I do not wish any thing except one thing. I  desperately wish

to meet you in person and talk and play with you. You may be full busy, I can guess looking at your number of so many devotees. But please spare a single day for me. Hope you will soon inform me our date of meeting .Rest is fine. I chat Navkar Mantra daily. Ok------bye take care ,see you soon. Do not forget  request, please clear it soon. Last thing I want to ask. Why do not you visit India weekly basis.?

2.Letter from middle age:-Sir, please excuse me for my less visits to you in temple. You know all my running here and there. How 24 hours of a day passes, I cannot recollect. Responsibilities of office and house made my life miserable. I sincerely promise yourself more

time after my retirement. To tell you truth from childhood I chat your name through 3Navakr mantra while waking up and sleeping. I know it is not sufficient but slowly I will add  it. Mom used to tell me that you are too powerful. Just see, If I can get promotion and make my a single dream to move to four BHK possible. regards.--!!.

3.Letter from old age group:-Sir. thank you very much indeed. You have been so kind to grant me every thing without asking. I was too unfortunate to have good Guru in later stage of my life. Gurudeo has  introduced me to Aagams. With them I can know your real nature. It offered me to regain my lost peace. Now no wish remained for any of those material things. Now only grant me correct knowledge, faith to achieve salvation. It can bring me nearest to you. While waiting for my sunset what else can I ask "Siddha Siddi Mam Di Santu".

Bye please accept my Koti Koti Vandana with Namothunam. I pray for your guidance till I get salvation. Be always with me to guide."

Friends these are symbolic letters for majority of us. If one can turn to Jinwani path at early stage can be fast on salvation path for a sure.  When we conquer all wishes except salvation, it's a Jinwani's path. One can try writing such letter truly to test check own standing as a

walker on Jinwani Path. Let us pray for early reaching to last aim.
