JAINISM---A GEM OF SADHUJI---PUJYA SHALIBHADRAJI MAHARASAAB---------!!!

Friends, with mix feelings of sorrow and pride I am sharing story of Jain Munishree Pujya Shalibhadraji Maharasaab. His  journey from a rich diamond merchant from Jaipur to a Jain Santh is much inspiring and thrilling . Recently He completed His long 16 days Santhara in

Balotara (Raj) on 20th Nov.2025.He was born in 1947 in Alwar. He was a single brother of five sister. His real name is Prakashchandaji R. Sancheti. His diamond"s business was spread in India and abroad He got married in 1982 with Mrs. Shashi from Delhi. Once mother told him now time has come he should stop running after wealth and

think of religious activities. In Jaipur he got influenced by Pujyashri Jayantilalji Maharaj. Finally he took Diksha under Pujya Champalalji Gurudeo in Sept 94. When he took Diksha his left diamond business was worth crores of Rupees. We were fortunate to take his Darshan

at Jodhpur. He went all difficult "Tap" from Moun Vrata to tolerating body pains. I find it too much difficult to pen down his all 'Taps" and virtues .I request readers to read following article copied from Face Book group named as Jainism for Kids-downloaded with thanks. At the end time He covered both eyes to fully disconnect with the world and look deep into soul. My deepest salute to his great and rare soul

His life and "Sadhana" will guide Shrawak, Sadhuji for a long timeto come. He totally won over love for own body and all material things Diksha and Santhara example may be more but what He did for Tap  what ever varieties He has done may be very very rare and unique,

कोटि-कोटि वंदन…

एक विलक्षण जीवन का आरंभ

पूज्य श्री शालिभद्रजी मुनि महाराज का जन्म

12 अक्टूबर 1947, अलवर में

पिता श्री रतनचंदजी संचेती एवं माता श्रीमती चंपादेवी जी के घर हुआ।

पांच बहनों के बीच, एकमात्र पुत्र—

संसारिक नाम प्रकाश संचेती।

कम उम्र में ही यश की चाह लिये अलवर से जयपुर आये

और रत्न व्यवसाय प्रारंभ किया।

अत्यंत परिश्रम, बुद्धिमत्ता और सौम्यता से

आप कुछ ही वर्षों में

भारत ही नहीं, बल्कि 50 से अधिक देशों में

प्रसिद्ध जौहरी बन गए।

विशाल बंगले, विदेशी गाड़ियों का काफिला,

वैभव, सम्मान और राजसी जीवन—

संसारिक उपलब्धियों की कोई कमी नहीं थी।

वैराग्य का अनोखा मोड़ – एक माता के शब्दों ने बदल दिया जीवन

1982 में माता जी ने कहा कि

“पुत्र, अब बस !!!

धन तो बहुत कमा लिया…

अब कुछ धर्म कमाई कर।

साथ तो धर्म ही जाने वाला है।”

इन शब्दों ने भीतर ऐसा झंकार किया

कि आपका हृदय वैराग्य से भर गया।

धन-दौलत तुच्छ लगने लगी।

व्यवसाय सीमित किया।

और सजोड़े सहित आजीवन ब्रह्मचर्य का संकल्प लिया।

इसी वर्ष पू. जयंतिलालजी म.सा. के संसर्ग मिले।

धर्म की अलौकिक बातों ने जीवन की दिशा बदल दी।

और पत्नी श्रीमती शशिजी सहित

दीक्षा का संकल्प पक्का कर लिया।

दीक्षा तक 12 वर्षों की कठिन साधना

जयपुर से पैदल

ज्ञानगच्छाधिपति पूज्य श्री चंपालालजी म.सा. के पास

किशनगढ़ पहुँचे।

गुरुदेव ने कहा—

“तुमने वैभवपूर्ण जीवन जिया है,

संयम की कठिनाई को नहीं जानते।”

परंतु दोनों दम्पत्ति का वैराग्य

अटल और अटूट था।

12 वर्ष तक कठोर व्रतों, तप और संकल्पों में रहे।

और अंततः

8 सितम्बर 1994 को जयपुर में

अत्यंत सादगीपूर्ण दीक्षा संपन्न हुई।

संसारिक ‘प्रकाश’ अब बन चुके थे—

पूज्य श्री शालिभद्र मुनि महाराज

और धर्म-सहयोगिनी शशिजी बनीं—

पूज्य श्री शशिप्रभा जी म.सा.

एक अलौकिक तपस्वी – ‘सोना आग में तपकर शुद्ध होता है’

पूज्य श्री जी का पूरा जीवन

तप के 12 प्रकारों से दग्ध होकर

शुद्ध, विशुद्ध और पवित्र बना।

आपकी दिनचर्या—

तेले-तेले पारणा

आयंबिल

सुखी रोटी को पानी में घोलकर पारणा

दिनभर निराहार

तप में सूर्य आतापना

सर्दी में निर्वस्त्र

रात भर ध्यान, कयोत्सर्ग, मौन

अधिकांश जीवन मौन साधना

आपका साधना जीवन

आज के पंचमकाल में

अकल्पनीय तप का साक्षात उदाहरण है।

माता-पुत्र दोनों तपस्वी बने

आपकी कठोर साधना से प्रभावित होकर

आपकी पूज्य माताजी चंपादेवी जी ने भी

2 मार्च 2006 को दीक्षा ली

और दीक्षा के साथ ही

सलेखना-संथारा स्वीकार कर

24 दिन में समाधिमरण किया।

यह दृश्य स्वयं में धर्म का जीवित प्रमाण था।

बालोतरा में 2018 से अविरल साधना

2018 से बालोतरा के वर्धमान स्थानक में

आप निरंतर विराजमान रहे।

और 5 नवम्बर 2025 से

आपका संथारा—

शांत, गंभीर और पूर्ण जागरूकता से—

गतिमान था।

पूज्य ज्ञान गच्छाधिपति श्री प्रकाशचंद्रजी म.सा.

स्वयं बालोतरा में विराजमान होकर

इस पावन साधना के साक्षी बने।

‘अब जगत को नहीं देखना’ – नेत्रपट्टी धारणा

जब भक्तों का जनसैलाब उमड़ने लगा,

पूज्य श्री ने स्वयं अपनी आंखों पर पट्टी बांध ली और कहा—

“अब मुझे जगत को नहीं देखना है…

मुझे अपनी आत्मा को देखना है।

कौन आता है, कौन जाता है—

यह देखना नहीं।

अब केवल आत्मार्थी बनना है।”

यह वाक्य ही

पूरे जैन धर्म का सार है।

देवलोक गमन – एक तेजस्वी आत्मा की अंतिम यात्रा

20 नवम्बर 2025

रात्रि 10:00 बजे

बालोतरा स्थानक में

आपने

यावज्जीवन चोविहार संथारा सहित

अत्यंत शांत और समाधिमय अवस्था में

देवलोक गमन किया।

जनसैलाब — सम्पूर्ण समाज उमड़ पड़ा

बालोतरा में—

स्थानकवासी, तेरापंथी, मूर्तिपूजक, स्वेताम्बर, दिगम्बर,

अग्रवाल, महेश्वरी, माली, पुरोहित,

सभी समाजों से

अकल्पनीय जनसागर उमड़ पड़ा।

लंबी-लंबी कतारें लग गयीं।

हर कोई एक महान संत के दर्शन करने

भागता आया।

आज के समय में संयम का जीवंत उदाहरण

पंचमकाल के इस कठिन समय में

जहाँ मनुष्य साधारण व्रत भी कठिन समझता है,

वहाँ पूज्य श्री शालिभद्रजी ने सिद्ध किया कि—

“यदि भाव शुद्ध हों, तो कठोरतम संयम आज भी संभव है।”

हमारा नमन – कोटि-कोटि वंदन

जिन शासन के इस वीर तपस्वी को

नमन, अभिवादन, और अनंत बार वंदन।

आपके पावन चरणों में सम्पूर्ण समाज का शीश झुका है।

आपकी साधना आने वाली पीढ़ियों को धर्ममार्ग दिखाएगी।

आपका जीवन जैनधर्म की अमर धरोहर है।

**बार–बार वंदन…

कोटिशः अभिनंदन।**

JAINISM-ALARMING BELLS--JAIN TRUSTS---!!!.

Friends so far I have avoided to allow form of news bulletin for this Blog. No doubt for exceptional matter like objections on Diksha and  prohibited foods put before Jain temples I covered them. When there is an attempts to harm Jain religion as a whole I feel it must be given  platform looking to religion fever heated atmosphere in our country.

Jain community is a large hearted one marked by big charitable Trusts. Trusts are made to look after wishes of Donors through Trustees. Deed of Trust duly registered with Charity Commissioner and Various other Acts take care that Trustees are running the Trusts as per guidelines spelled out by Trustees. Most of time the functions of Trust carried out correctly by trustees of Temples, hospitals or the colleges with due care, Elections are being held ,Audit of accounts is being done and tax returns are duly filed. On few occasions Greed in

human surface and overtake good virtues of sacrifice and devotion. I cover herewith a sample case study  of Pune related to HND hostel. It is run by a Trust. Trust was formed in 1960 with a larger vision to help poor Jain students from remote places to have shelter while they engage in study with a Jain temple for daily religious activities. It has 131000 sq. feet land of 3 acres situated at Model Colony. served with it's object for all those years as Pune is a major education Hub for

India. All metropolitan cities in India are facing scarcity for land or plot in central area of cities. The horrifying nexus between the local politicians and builder lobby is searching to grab land from weaker or greedy hands. In such a situation trustee is easy soft target hunted.

Readers can search the HND story on google. A positive side is that total Jain community shown unity and took out march of more than 10k people to office of Charity Commissioner asking how he can permit demolition of Temple and student's Hostel. He brought it on record that interested trustee hide such things on paper. Now who are the real culprits will be out soon. A big thanks to Jain monks who

lead the masses to protest against grab. The status not yet restored. Guru Maharaj given ultimatum of 1st November 2025 for it. As of today update builder has agreed to execute a cancellation deed If one study this case closely he will be surprised to see quick, super fastest action behind curtain in shortest time. Now with shortage of land Redevelopment plans are becoming the rule of day. This story sends

a alarming bell to community to be alert for Jain Trust property. I am so manty irregularities of many Trusts known to me. For many years accounts  are incomplete. Same person is carrying on Chairmanship for years as nobody is ready to take responsibility. This aloofness is not in any interest  for community. Public pressure at large may be successful to reclaim HND hostel. But just keep eye open as Greed of politicians and their Godfathers know no boundary. It can strike back anytime when they discover community is sleeping and have a

ignore attitude. Young generation must carry the legacy of Bhagwan intact for years to come. Mind well the time had entered in a dark zone and we are walking through most difficult time so better to unite and stay safe ignoring our pretty differences. Unity can offer us

the much needed strength. Take care to see that your smallest action or word is not against entire Jain religion as a whole in India or out of India. We must decide to face all odds in a non violent manner but in  a collective manner. Only then we can keep safe our heritage. The Trustees need to be more vigilant and shall adopt new techniques.

Must be more computer savvy and amend  the conservative working style. Need not to go for cost cutting and cost saving for  expenses all the times. Some administration and legal expenses serve as security check. Hope we will smell future danger and act wisely and timely.

JAINISM---CELEBRATE "VEER-NIRVAN"----- WITH-- 108-- PUCHHUSUNAM---------------!!!.

Friends Mahaveer-Swami's Nirvan day is falling due on this 21st Oct.2025 It is on the Diwali day. We all celebrate his salvation with lights as he was the only light in the deepest of darkness spread all over world. It is almost 2551 years long period when Bhagwan  left us. With Kewal Dyan and Darshan he achieved salvation. He left the

his body but his crystal clear soul is guiding entire human race for all those years. If one happen to be a Jain or any non Jain loving the non violence then certainly we need to thank this great and noble soul for showing this path to us. Whatever a apparent or hidden good virtues of a Jain soul the basic credit goes to this great soul .He taught his all followers to care for all living souls irrespective of his size, caste or

breed. He asked to be same careful for a aunt or elephant or  flower.  Non-violence, Truth, No-theft, loyal to spouse and non -possession are five of Bhagwan's Maha Vrata. Through their practice any human automatically lives a simple life free from major sins. Bhagwan with 32 Aagams guided Mankind to walk on salvation path. His theory of

Anekantwad make human to listen other's point of view as truth can be only known with complete Kewal Dyan only. Bhagwan's doctrine of Karma made masses aware of their actions. It lead to avoiding of blame or alleging God for any unpleasant event. We human specially Jains owe a huge debts towards Bhagwan. Let us try to repay it with a small tribute of recitation of 108 Puchhisunam. Puchhisunam is a praise of Bhagwan composed by "Bhagwan Sudharma Swamiji."

Try not to miss "Uttaradhyan Sutra session in Stanak on the day of Pratipada dated 22nd October 2025.Bhagwan got Nirvana while he was reciting 36th chapter of U/S. Whatever we can do to cherish his grand memories can be a small tribute to acknowledge the great  and great contribution of Him. Friends let us celebrate Diwali  this way. Bhagwan's body less soul is miles away from appreciation or hate.

His name chanting can offer us deep internal peace .Remembering our role model can make determination for Moksha more concrete.

JAINISM----DISCONNECTING ALL CONNECTIONS--------------!!!.

 Friends- herewith I share with you an important answer from Pujya Gurudeo to a devotee in yesterday's" Chaturmasik Pakki" lecture. With due permission a Shrawak stood and asked  " Sir you asked us to cut all connections and to clear all sins and Punya as a condition to get salvation. How to do it ? I request you to please guide this house.

Gurudeo looked at him and gave reply to query with his usual ease.     "Yes I confirm having said the precondition of Moksha. I will take the first part to answer today. 2nd part is of 12 Nirjara tools. Punya get exhausted in your comfortable life anyhow so need not to cover it separately. Now the query has basic two parts. First is connections of current life and connections of numerous past lives. First is current that is known to you and easier to identify, But the past connections 

 are too vast difficult to guess and assess, The reason behind it that

soul is permanent. We took births in all Yonies, all places and had a relationship with each and every living soul. Now  one cannot know it's nature and disconnect connection directly. For such disconnection

only Khamatkhamna and Aalochna can be the tools. Provided should be with pure feelings and sentiments. Pratikaman path of 84 lac yoni can also help  to disconnect relation Current connections are of two

types one for living second for non living. With the Non Possession or "Apragraha Vrata one can disconnect love for wealth ,houses. land and investments. Affection with near and dear can be disconnected if one go far Diksha and leaving domestic life. It  may be difficult for

most of us. Better way to overcome Mohniya Karma" as it is the king of all Karmas and too difficult to clear. If you know the story of Mata

Marudevi  and Bhagwan Rishabh Deo you can dare to cut off present love connections. Hate connections can be cut with forgiveness. One more thing "Pachkhans" of non vegetarian food. roots and dinner at  hours after sunset can save you from killings of lot of tiny souls. In 

business and money transaction see that you clear all debts otherwise you will have to take series of births to repay said loans with interest. 12 Bhavna of Jainism specially "Ektva and "Vairgya " can help one

to cut current affection. All these disconnections are difficult but one should note without cutting them off fully salvation is far away" As such Gurudeo ended his most important lecture for salvation seekers.
