 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.
