SUMMARY OF JINWANI-NAVKAR MANTRA--!!!.

 Friends, on Guru Deo's advice organizers were keen on updating of kids Jainism knowledge. As a visionary Gurudeo advocated it's need as there will be more challenges to Jainism faith in near future from outside as well as inside. A sound foundation of kids with basics of Jainism is a must for it. Keeping it in mind a lecture of Gurudeo was organized on Sunday. Here is a coverage of it. Hope kids, young and elders all Jain will also find this lecture valuable and motivational.

 "Dear kids, I appreciate sacrifice of Sunday by your parents to bring all of you here. I am sure at the end you will feel being blessed for it. Today's subject is based on Navkar Mantra. By this time you all have learnt it with meaning. Many of you might be knowing reasons why it is regarded as most holy, pure, and auspicious Maha- Mantra of universe. Mantra is based on three most admired virtues of Jain

religion. They are Samyag (correct)- Dhayn, Darshan and Charitrya.

Correct faith gives us power to select right religion which can lead to salvation. Correct knowledge make sure right practices adopted for leaving life with minimum sins and simplicity. Correct Charitrya can

ensures cutting off accumulated negative Karmas with Sayami life. It also prohibits new sins coming in. We know Sayam is a control over five organs and mind, speech and body. First Pada is a bowing down to soul who conquered all body related evils termed as Ari ,winner is being Arihant Bhagwan. It shows us how important is to make soul free of four Kashay and eighteen sins. Equally important is to stay away from25 wrong faith Mittyatva and five Kaam- Bhoga. They are

major obstacle in Sayam Marg and last goal of Moksha or salvation  

These internal enemies are more dangerous than  external enemies.

As a reward to clear over body related negatives souls gets the Regal status of "Arihant and Kewali". In next stage when body related evils

are got over- salvation path get accomplished with the "Sidha -Gati". With Siddha status there is an end to body and birth related sorrows. Soul get rid of vicious circle of life, death and again next many more births.  Aacharya Bhagwant and Sadhuji both are symbol for correct character. While "Upadhyaaji are symbol for correct true knowledge.

They study thirty two  Aagam and explain to devotees. Correct faith

is a common virtue of all of these5 deities. We can trace origination of Navkar Mntra with " Bhagwati Sutra" It's starting Pada is Navkar.

It opens with title as "Mangal Charan". Nine lines with 68 alphabets give a summary of road leading to salvation or Moksha. You can see Pratikaman book to get 108 virtues and absence of 18 flaws of all the

five deities being---- 12+08+36+25+27=108 A+S+A+U+S. All these 108 virtues are the final result of "Sayami" life lived as per Jinwani. As you will grow you can study at more depth the sacrifices all these noble souls made so as to their name got included in Navkar Mantra

 This flow of Jinwani from Thirthankar and Gandhar Bhagwan has a unique power to fill our soul with holy inner peace and appreciation, 

Wish for the future golden day which will make you too fortunate to get into "Panch Parmesthi" category" Gurudeo concluded lecture.

JAINISM---ESO PANCH NAMUKKARO--BOWING DOWN TO PANCH PARMESTHI------------------!!!.

On his move to next destination Gurudeo has a stop at our suburb. I share herewith his lecture based on Jain Navkar Maha Mantra. Hope

readers will add it to knowledge of most auspicious Navkarmantra.    "Devanupriya You all are reciting this holy Mantra. Majority must be knowing it's meaning. Today I will share with you the importance of last two lines. Have you ever given a thought why it is so powerful

and capable to clear all sins and highest auspicious in the universe -?.

In domestic life we bow down to Parents and Teachers as a mark of our respect, gratitude ,affection and with a feeling of obligation for their role in shaping lives. To bow down to others need 3 conditions.

1-A particular soul need to have correct knowledge of virtues which call for bowing down. Such souls must be capable to appreciate the sacrifice ,devotion and courage for such noble souls. It can be done only by souls who knew own limitations and difficulties to engage own self in such Moksha marg. It comes from Swadhaya of Aagam.

Humbleness quality is the result of deep study and thought process. 

2.--This particular soul needs to have faith on teachings of Jinwani.

correct faith make soul to visualize real virtues in their true sense.

3.--Such souls needs to be light hearted who don't has any attitude or arrogance to recognize the achievements of soul who attained unique salvation or who are walking on path of salvation by taking a Diksha. A humble soul can only worship virtue of others rather than glittering status or glory. A soul who knew the fallacy of life and wealth can be only able to do such worshipping of virtues. Rest are after power and greed to please people having material things and power for benefits. An arrogant soul cannot recognize any one else than himself. As of  it's result there is no bowing down from such heavy weight soul. He, Himself is a king and refuse to look beyond himself and  his circle. 

When one recite Navkar Mantra-his heart is filled with feelings that oh-! how difficult path of "Sayam.Diksha and Moksha- I with a deep feelings appreciate their noble achievements. I knew from my own example how difficult is to win over inner enemies. How difficult is leaving home and family for Nirjara of Karma. To understand all 32

Aagam  and able to explain them is not a easy task. Souls who have cut off the Dyanavarniya Karma can only do it. Hope keeping you as role model one day in near future I will be able to attain salvation. There are three type of bowing down. Jaghanya means "Mathenam Vadami". It is a short form of Vanadana. It is  used to practice when

 Sadhuji in eyesight outside residing place. "Tikkuto Path"- when in Stanak or upashraya. Lastly for Arihant and Siddha Bhagwan with

two Khamasano one for each. Bowing down to Panch- Parmesthi prevent Aayushya Bandh of a soul in  a lower classes. We all are too fortunate to have this Mahamantra as our legacy gifted by Bhagwan Mahaveer Swami to us Carry it on and on with the feelings I could explain today " Gurudeo concluded his lucid lecture.
