JAINISM------BADI SADHU VANDANA--------!!!.

 Friends, today I intend to introduce a very devotional composition called as "Badi Sadhu Vandana". It is composed by a very rare and unique Tapasvi Sant named as " Pujya Aacharyapravar Jaimalji Saab Maharaj". He was from "Stanakwasi" branch and taken Dikha from Aacharyji Bhudharjisaab. He took birth in vs1765 in Jodhpur around

area called as Lambiya- Medtacity. He breathed last in V.S.1853 with 31 days Santhara. It is popularly believed that he is a " Ekbhavatati" soul. There are numerous achievements to his credits. Few of them are which I heard- are as in next lines. He learned "Pratikaman" in a standing position in only 3 hours. After taking " Diksha" for 50 years he did not lie on ground  for sleeping.32 Aagams he remembered and can speak without books. He has around 700 disciples. With his this

through knowledge of Aagam he composed this devotional song in a simple and lucid language. I have provided a link below the essay .It can help readers to down load it. The song is a just like a flashback film of history for majority of noble souls of Jain religion. It covers

the souls from first Thirthankar Bhagwan Rishabha-Deo to last one Pujya Mahaveerswami. In my childhood first time I heard it from my mother in a very melodious tune. Since then still today I found  to be haunted by this beautiful Stavan. As a mother if one can learn it. can be very useful in upbringing of a kid. Thus his likings can be shaped in a Jain culture. The coverage is wide. It covers souls who attained

Moksha as well as souls going to Deologa or Mahavideha and going for salvation. In this poem you can meet Arjun Mali, Gajsukumalji, Sati Chandanbala, Mata Marudevi, Anathimuni, Khandakrishi. One can even find Pandavs and Dropadi, Dharmaruchiangar, Evantamuni

Jambuswami,Brami and Sundari 16 Satiyaji and other great souls .In it Aachayaji summarized from most Aagams like Uttaradyan-Sutra,

Bhagwatiji, Sukhvipak, Dnyatasutra,Anuttarvaee Antagarasutra. This composition is a proof of Aacharyaji's deep knowledge of all Thirty-two Aagams. It is certainly very useful for devotees from any branch of Jainism. It can be very well read during  our one Samaik to review noble great souls. In few minutes we can praise those pure souls. At

the end a candid confession from my end. My aim was just to make a introduction of it to readers. To explain it's depth and real beauty of this unique composition is beyond my capacity and power of words.
