FAST---A JAINISM KEY FOR WELL-BEING---!!!.

 Friends, after return from USA I noticed that we as Indians have more intake of foods in India. In India we have so many dishes food availble. In India we have so many festivals and celebrations. Any foodie can add so many weight as he wished. In such a context two social events acted as an eye opener for me. Recently- I attended two social events  organized by Jain Social groups.  Both events were for facilitation of devotees  doing "Aayambil Oli  and Varshi Tap Sadhna

Former is performed twice in a year. It is undertaken twice in a year inspired by story of King Shripal and Sati Mainasundari .It is for nine day from Saptami to Pakki. While 2nd is for thirteen months to mark respect for Bhagwan Rishabh Deo. I felt very thrilled to hear details of it. I discussed with couples and seniors doing this Tap. On return to home I gave thought to  such a long Tap and concluded that this is the key our Bhagwan gave us for  our well being, earning  Punya and

maintaining good health. We will study benefits of such Tap Sadhna. 1.-Fast is one of the major tool of Nirjara out of  twelve tools to cut Karmas layers on soul. It  can be of  different types from Navkarshi to Maas-Khaman. Majority prefer it can be done as per own choice. 2-For  good health less food ensures control over taste and stomach.

3- In Aayambil there is giving up of "VIGAY". It means no to sugar,

salt, oil, Ghee and honey. It is a blessed diet for all patients suffering from high cholesterol , blood pressure, veins blockages and diabetes.

4.-Our digestive system needs rest and break from constant eating.    5-I heard that eight days fast can cut off food to bad cells of cancer and can assist patient for recovery. Still medical approval for needed 6-With "Pachkan" we get category of Desh -Virati Shrawak, This qualify to next birth in Deo Loga as informed in Aagams . 

7-Bhagwan has asked his followers to observe six Thithi for fast in a period of  fortnight, They are Bij, Panchmi, Ashtami, Gyaras, Chodas and Pakki. If one can add "Poshad or Daya to fast it can be good one. 8.-In case it is difficult for fast one can go for no to vegetables. roots and food after sunset on those days .It can add discipline to our lives.

In a nutshell any Tap easy or difficult Bhagwan has advocated for our well being. It fetch Punya, Nirjara and good health for all the  doers. Even asking their "Sata and offering "Anumodana" can be beneficial.

As a summary friends fast is really a key to earning Punya and  good for health. Health benefits cannot be denied by medical science. Give it a small try from smaller to bigger and see the peace health you get.

As per my experience thinking to go far fast is difficult but let you have courage and go far Pachkhan. Once bound by Pachkan all play and fears of mind get vanished then there is smooth toad to fast till new dawn arrives. Two time daring makes you an expert doing fast. Once given a try it will open Pandora box for you for balance of life.

JAINISM------TRUTH - V/S- FAITH------------!!!.

 Friends this Blog is adapted from Gurudeo's lecture in summer camp for kids in the age group of 10 to 15 years. Attendance was too good.  "Devanu Priya today we will discuss two topics. First topic is Truth. Second topic is faith. Truth is an universally accepted principles or things. Mostly they are visible like Sun, Moon, Sea, forest, water and so on. Air. gravity you may not see but can verify or feel. Truth can be tested in lab and are being backed by proven science .On second side we come across  various phases like -soul, rebirth, heaven, hell

Kewal- Dyan. Arihant Bhagwan and body less but living souls like Siddha Bhagwan. These are the subject matter of our second topic. Neither of us seen any of these but we believe in them on Basis of Jinwani. When we believe on faith more than truth-It is Samkit. We believe it on basis of what we heard from our parents and Sadhuji. All the time proofs are not needed. Our presence as of now vouch for our great grand father's existence once upon a time. Saduji Maharaj impart knowledge learned from study of thirty two Aagams. Nobody

from us were present when Aagams were composed by Gandhars. All other major religion have faith in God based on their holy books. We trust more on Aagams as the deity preaching it were practicing same. There is not a single sentence which  contradict each other. For great mission of truth finding and meaning of life Jain deities has left their comfort and luxuries at home. Same journey and 'Sadhana gave them clue for solution to human sufferings. Their "Sadhana" took them to

the Kewal-Dyan. It showed them truth of human life and salvation. It formed their teachings in form of "Jinwani" through 32 Aagams. As Bhagwan is "Vitraagi" beyond love or hate there were no reasons for them to misguide masses. In Aagam they have covered so many tiny  and minute details of living and non living things that we have  no option than to have full faith on it. Such a detailed study cannot be a

work of  a normal human being. On maturity try to read Bhagwatiji, Jiva Bhigam and Pannawana Sutra then you can realize truth of my  statement. Now let us test case of faith. One pray for his much ailing relative. Unfortunately the person expired. Praying person may get frustration that his prayer failed to bring desired results. Now his

faith gets shaky. If that person happens to be a Samkiti soul having full faith on Jinwani. He will think yes Bhagwan has correctly said that nothing can change life span. A strong faith makes a soul strong enough to face all odds of living life. He is ready to accept things as they unfold as he firmly believe on Karma theory. Inside deep in his heart he know that no outside force  are capable of giving me trouble. Only my" Karmas and Punyaee can offer me sorrow or happiness.

When these all are my deeds then why should I be afraid of results ?.

I do not ask you all to have a blind faith on "Jinwani".Try to read Aagams and try to understand them from Suguru. Root a habit to attend Guru Deo's lectures. It may be a difficult process for a period

of 2 to 3 years. Afterwards you will be happy to discover treasury of correct knowledge. I wish you continue to have for more study as

correct knowledge will be foundation for strong Samkit. Mind well without Samkit one cannot limit lives cycles. You are torch bearers  for Bhagwan Mahaveer's grand legacy. Only with reading you can tell the world how noble life was of Bhagwan and how great are his

  all teachings in form of " Aagams".You may recall study of  eight components of soul. Each living soul carry faith compulsorily. It may be correct or wrong. We need to nourish correct faith forever.. It can make our journey to salvation quicker" Guru Deo concluded lecture.
