JAINISM--FULL TEXT--PUCCHISUNAM--HINDI AND ARDHAMAGDHI.--------!!!..

Friends-till date I was hesitant to share original Aagam's part in this blog. The reason behind such self restriction is that the "Aagams" reading needs strict follow up "Swadhay" timings in allowed time of "Porishi ". Moreover it requires a pure surroundings and clean, pure
state of mind and posture. My blog based on "Puchisunam " has got
published on 22/10/2016 with title-Praising Mahaveer Bhagwan.

In no time it became most visited blog in my series of Jainism. In the mean time, I received request from devotees to have meaning of it
in Hindi. To assist devotee, I decided to opt for a one time exception.
Even few from blog readers can try to learn it with the help of text.
My this adventure will not be a misadventure, I hope and pray.
As such, I am attaching herewith full text of Pucchisunam in PDF

file. I hope devotees will take necessary care while reading it. Here
is the full text. It is composed by current Siddha Bhagwan respected
"Sudharmaswamiji".It is covered in sixth chapter of "Suygadang
Sutra" original Aagam. Hope in current Paryushan it will be a help.

JAINISM---FREEDOM OF SOUL AND DHARMA RAKSHA--------------!!!.

Friends. today's full moon day is a rare occasion. I t is rare as it combines three festivals of India in a day. It combine rarely Raksha

Bandhan ,Independence day and Pakhi of full moon day all three.
To mark this celebration ,I visited Sthanak. Here is the summary.
Gurudeo's lecture for study of readers covering freedom of soul.

"Devanupriya, we know after a partition of  full hate and bloodbath
India got freedom from British rulers on 15th August 1947. Since
that day every Indian celebrate freedom of our country annually.

Independence means now citizens of this country are free to have a
own administration in a legal framework to have  betterment of all.
 Let us leave the larger canvass and land into a small platform to 
review our own individuality. Have any of you have ever thought of freedom of own soul. I fear majority of you have yet to do it. Even many of you will be surprised to hear that our own soul is yet to get
the liberty. For getting the results, I gave you some checkpoints.
Just be honest and check with oneself if our soul is really free.
1.-If soul is free from 18-Eighteen sins.
2.-If soul is free from 04-four Kashay.
3.-If soul is free from wrong faith. Wrong faith is most dangerous.
4.-If soul is free from love, affection and hate for body and all other
non material possessions.-?.I expect disturbing outcome of reviews.

Our soul is in slavery of all above negatives from numerous births.
With a very good fortune backed by rise of good deeds, we could get this life as a Jain. If we failed to understand the restrictions on
freedom of soul from purity, it can be our bad luck. So friends get awakened at earliest. Let us  put efforts to get rid of slavery of body,
attachments and all that negatives Bhagwan has warned of. 18 sins
and four Kashay can delay your salvation for many lives. As a fact
check if soul continue to engage in 18 sins, we cannot avoid birth in
hell or Tiriyanch Gati. As such the salvation can be a distant dream 

Traditional Rakhabandhan festival assures protection of sister by
brother. Here we have to commit to self to protect our Jain Dharma.
There are so many attacks on it. To quote a few--encroachment of our holy places, challenges to Santhara Vrata and Diksha of minor,
comments on our vegetarian culture and many others. We must be
united ignoring our branch wise differences to fight such evils. All protests or representations must be in a peace full manner. Just
remember 21000 years ,our Dharma will last with glory and shine.
Bear in mind "Dharma Rakshitee Rakshita".What I visualize- very
difficult days are knocking doors of India with polarization efforts
in full swing. Beware of it, before it is too late" Gurudeo concluded.

JAINISM-----SIDDHA-STUTI---------!!!-----NAMO VITARAAG--------!!!.

Friends all Jain devotees have highest regard and respect for Siddha Bhagwan and Arihant Bhagwan. Today in Stanak one devotee sung
the praise song for Siddha Bhagwan in pin drop silence background in auditorium. Hereby it is presented for use by blog readers. If one
can understand the meaning, this prayer can prove to be a real gem.

It is  praise of "Vitrang Prabhu".Vitraag means beyond love and hate.

It has great but simple meaning. It matches the various features of
Siddhabhgwan as given in Pratikaman "Panch Padoki Vandana". I
have earlier covered them in blog named---  " Features of Siddaha.".
We know that limited virtues can be explained by presence concept.
When the virtues are infinite, we use absence concept. This concept

is being used in this prayer .In forth stanza the meaning of second
line is "Bhukh Nahi,Trishna Nahi, not thin nor thick. Meaning of word "Hrishikesh" is a soul who has controlled organs. Hope readers
will find it a good prayer for everyday. One can think to give a try to
it. There cannot be any another deity other than Siddhabhagwan to
bow down our head and pray "Siddha Siddhi Mumdi Santu".

They are the crystal body less pure soul with complete faith, use 
and knowledge. They have nothing physical but have every thing,
 Bhagwan are the permanent resident of everyone's dream and last destination "Siddhasheela".Sooner of later all Bhavi souls will be
joining them. Of course for early reach following Jainism is must.

Siddhasheela is a dream destination because the resident of it are
Siddhaprabhu and they are in permanent happiness state .Hence
they are termed as "Chidanand". Chidananad is a combination of 2
words-Chir and Ananad. Chir means forever. Ananad means happy.
Human happiness is unstable and there are less moments of it when

compared to sorrows. Hence let us pray to have happiness forever.
It will be wrong on our part if we ask anything other than Moksha
or salvation from such noble souls.-Siddah Siddhi Mumdi Santu
should be the only and only request and pray to them.

JAINISM---MAGIC OF THOUGHT PROCESS-----------!!!

Today means the 19th July is death anniversary of my late beloved parents. To offer them homege, I visited Gurudeo. My visit proved to
be a blessings in disguise from my parents through Gurudeo. Here
is the related coverage in brief for my blog readers.
"Devanupriya devotees, some days back I stressed the need of full
religious  actions in Chaturmas specially in 8 days of Paryushana.
I also explained what is "Aayushyabandh" and how our mindset on

Sawastari day of Bhadrapada Panchmi is of very importance. Today
I will share with you the Aagam reference of immense power of the
Mind. Bhagwan has given two cases for it. One is of Tandulmastya
and other is of Khandakrishi. For former it is 24 Gamashatak and
first Pada of Pradyapana and  for second it is in commentary added
to Uttaradhyanasutra second chapter" 22 Parishaha-Vadh Parishay.

 Tandul means a small single piece of rice and Mastya means fish. 
 Tiny category of such fish is referred as Tandulmastya. Bhagwan
 told Guatamswami that even fish from this category can build life
of 7th hell. Seventh hell is a reserved place for most danger criminal
 who are engaged in Mahaaarabha and Parigraha as Chakravartyi.
 A Tandulmastya happened to see a big fish with open mouth. The

small fish thought in mind that how foolish the big fish is. If I were
in his place I would had eaten all incoming fishes by closing mouth
Even with such thoughts without backing of similar actions the said
fish can go to 7th hell being the most dangerous place in Lokh. One
will be surprised to know the size of such fish is less part of finger.
This is the real power and results of thought process.

The second case is of Khandakrishi and his 500 disciples. The order
was given to grind the 500 disciples in grinding machine with the
Khandakrishi as eye witness. The Rishi maintained his coolness till
499 disciples were killed. The last one was a Balmuni,a little monk.
The Rishi could not control his anger. At the same moment,it is the
time of his Aayshyabandh. All the 500 disciples became Siddha,
Their Guru Khandakrishi built next life in anger and became the
heavenly god of "Agnikumar" category due to high voltage anger.

Bhagwan has mentioned the nature of mind in-- 13/07 chapter of
Bhagwatisutra. Only Sannipachendriya gets mind  to think. If one
utilize it for good thoughts it can cut the life cycles. We have seen
how Marudevimata got fed up with ignorance of her by Bhagwan
Rishabhdeo. She changed her mindset and reached to truth. The
truth she realized that all human connections and relations are only
temporary and motivated by selfishness but soul is only friend and
permanent companion. No sooner she realized, she got liberated.
We know empty mind is a devil's workshop .One can develop the
reading habit for Aagams. Vitraag Bhagwan has left a tremendous
source of knowledge for us through Aagam. Mind can get the right 
direction for leaving a meaningful life. It can put mind on most
correct path. If we clean the soul ,the cleanness will reflect in good
thinking process eliminating all negative thoughts. Once it is done
with ,we can see the miracles of turning our lives in right direction.

JAINISM----14 NIYAM AND 3 MANORATH---------!!!------PART--2.

Friends from today's full moon day "Chaturmas-2019 started. On
this auspicious day. let me complete second part of details.It can help devotees to follow it in Chaturmas. The details of fourteen Niyam.

1-Sachit--We know all intakes of food are of 2 types. One is Sachit
and second is Achit. Sachit means live and Achit means non living.
Vegetables, fruits. salt, drinking water are few examples of it. It is
true that for  eating or cooking we have to cut them and make them
non-living. For own living for human it is unavoidable. As such we
can limit the quantum of them for daily consumption. For example
one can take a vow for a day not to exceed consumption of  2 fruits,
3 vegetables and total 10 liter water for drinking and other use. One
can use pulses and sprout to replace vegetables in  Chaturmas yearly.

2.-Dravya-It various intakes based on same taste. One can make taste wise categories and fix the eatables Roti, Dal, rice. dry fruit etc.
3-Vigay-They are consumables which add to the strength of body, They are honey. butter, milk, curd, cream or Ghee, oil. sugar, sweet.
It is believed that Vigay are harmful for basic "Bhramacharyavrata".
4.-Panni--It refers footwear and socks items used to protect feet.
5.-Tambol-It refers to "Mukhwas"-Supari, Dhanadal. Sop, Paan etc.
6.-Vatsra-It means clothes. One can fix limit for it covering night
wears. For ladies fixing it can be on yearly basis for Sarees.

7.Kusum.-It  covers fragrance and smell related items like flowers,
 and various types of scent. Not to pluck any flower can be covered.
8.-Vahan-It refers vehicles. One can classify them as daily need and
random use like plane, ship and train .For cars, number can be taken.

Use of public transport auto, bus ,trains should be determined.

9.--Shayan-It covers material used for sleeping-bed, pillow. blanket.
10.-Vilepan--It covers cosmetics used for body cream. powder etc.
11.-Bramacharya-It is limitation of relationship with own partner.
12.-Disha-It covers limitation of 6 directions including upward and
downward movement. People living in multistory flats may need it
more for upward. Same is case with going to basement direction. In all there are six main directions four main, upward and downward.

13-Snan-It refers water and item used for bath. Swimmers need to
take more limit. If one has habit of two time bath more care needed.
14.-Bhojan-From what time from morning eating food will start and when to end. Diabetics may need frequent intakes. Tea, milk and coffee can be provided separately as per own usual needs.
If we follow these 14 Niyam specially food before sunset, there is no need for visit to doctors or weight management program. All of
it can bring discipline to our life by simple living style

One can use the print of following table for day to day Pachkhans.      One can also use silver ring in any finger  for taking daily vow. With Gurudeo  presence, he can say with right finger ring I will not eat any thing, For putting anything in mouth ,I will say Navkar and eat. On completion I will change again shift ring for easy reminders. 

These are main classification.9 additional category can be added. It
can cover use of soil, water, fire or similar energy. air or fan and air
conditioners, plant and vegetables, dinner after sunset. use of weapon
,use of stationary and use for weapons for farming household tools.

The idea behind all such Niyam or Pachkhan is to live life with a
predefined limit. Less actions can provide lesser chances of sins.
It helps to move near our last goal to leave all possessions It makes
one to control taste for variety of food, clothing and body comforts.

One can read Aagam's chapter Anandsrawak from Upasakdashang

Sutra to get details of all Pachkhans. It deal with 10 best Shrawaks.

JAINISM----GRAND WELCOME----CHATURMAS--2019------!!!

Friends, before I complete second part of Gurudeo's details of 14 Niyams, I intend to share the time table of 2019 Chaturmas period.
It is based on details shared in  by Gurudeo. Four months consists-
1.-Chaturmas starts full moon day--16/07/2019.
2.-8 days Paryushan Starts-----------27/08/2019.
3.-Most important day falls due on-03/09/2019.being Sawastari .It's on Bhadrapada Panchmi. The day is must for fast, various  religious activities. Pratikaman and Kshamapana
4.-Veer Nirvan day or Dipawali---------27/10/2019.
5.-Kartika Poornima Chaturmas ends--12/11/2019.
One is free to follow time table prescribed by his branch of faith.

For most of Jain this "Mahaparva" is a heavenly gift .We can use the
period to clean layers of sins attached to soul. For Shrawaks, there is
no compulsion of any kind. Only one need to review life style and
decide quantum of Dharma engagement for salvation path. For the
balance 8 months we provide comparatively less time for Dharma.
We can use this period to clear the backlog. One needs to adjust his
daily routine. Bhagwan Mahaveer has recommended this period as
in this period of rainy season, maximum tiny souls are taking birth.
Without reason each one shall try to restrict travelling outside town.

Purpose of engagement in religious activities is to reduce Kashay.

Kashay of four types makes soul heavier with sins. In domestic life
routine, we may be victim of such Kashay If we spend time with the
surroundings of Guru,Sthanak or Derasar we can have good quality time spending in religious atmosphere. In this time we can avoid the
incoming sins. If a home is cautious to follow those 4 months with a
full devotion, it has indirect impact on kid's upbringing. To preserve
Jainism culture seniors must see to make it happen in own home.
 If the kids attend Gurudeo's lecture in Paryushan they can hear the

"Antagarhasutra "and can know the 90 noble souls getting Moksha.
If they keep fast and offer "Khamatkhamna" on Sawastari, they can
know the inportance of "Sawastari and aayushyabandh".

For all of us this period of four months is a opportunity to reduce the burden of sins from our souls. Looking back, one may feel that he failed to an cash the Chaturmas opportunity earlier but now it cannot be late than never. So just decide to have maximum human
efforts this year. All the best to have best "Aaradhana" this time. A
word of cautious. This is a period of looking within the soul and
correcting it's mistakes. Please do not use this period as celebration,
sweets, processions, get together and musical nights .A simple and
maximum individual involvement may give better results.

 Bhagwan Mahaveerswami warned in "Suyagadangsutra" that souls
who do not use time when it was available has nothing in hand than
to regret So in this harvesting time sow maximum seeds of Fast,
Samaik, Sawar and Poshad. It can make four months useful for soul.

JAINISM---14 NIYAM AND 3 MANORATH---------!!!-----PART-1.

Gurudeo made entry in city for upcoming Chaturmas beginning on 16/07/2019.Herewith, I try to cover his first lecture in brief. With a
usual coolness on his face Gurudeo started the Vyakhan." Brothers
and sisters your attendance shows that you all are carrying a deep
desire for salvation. Now we have four months period to learn the
requirements for achieving Moksha. A Jain Shrawk can fall into the

category of "Balpandit" and can built next life for Deologa during
this period.Mahaveer Bhagwan made it very clear in Bhagwatisutra
chapter 01/08.To become Balpandit condition is that the Sharawak
shall take Niyam or Pachkhan. Pachkhan means a voluntary vow to 
 be taken to restrict eatables or consumable. It requires the complete
elimination of related desire. If due to a situation warranted, one is
giving up something it cannot be Pachkhhan. For example a patient

of diabetes gives up sweets on advice of a Doctor, it cannot fall in
the category of Pachkhan. Now we check what can be included in
such Pachkkhans. There is no hard and fast rule that this must be done. The reason is Sharwaks are allowed to follow Aagar-Dharma.
Aagar means some exceptions provided in a vow where as Sadhus
are not allowed for a single exception in Angaardharma. They have
to follow whatever is ordered by Bhagwan in Jain Aagams. Thus a
Shrawak can provide that at out station I may take dinner after the sunset. But such liberty is not permissible to monks. Pachkhan turns
a Shrawak from "Avirati " to Virati ".Virati means with Vrata / vow.
Sadhus are "Sarvavirati" and Shrawaks are "Deshvirati."(Partly,Even part Pachkhan makes a Shrawak "Balpandit" who have next birth in "Devloga" as Bhagwan Mahaveer hinted in "Bhagwati Sutra".

Navkarshi. Porshi, Ekasaan.Upvaas are examples of Pachkhans, In
all of them 14 Niyams are easy and can be tailor made to suit each
individual. In 14 Niyam, there are 14 categories of eatables and the
daily consumables. One can decide the list and take Pachkan for all
day. In Pratikaman in Path- "Daee Divpa of Jambudvipa" ,it is given
that all Shrawaks are regularly taking 14 Niyam. We will check the
related details in second half. Now I will brief you for 3 Manoratha.
Manorath means strong wish in mind. A true Jain devotee always
pray that his following three long cherished dreams must be true.The following are such "Manorath. It means mind must remember them.

1-It will be a great day when, I can give up all material possessions.
2-It will be a great  day when I will become monk by taking Diksha
3-It will be a great day if I can get Santhara at my last breath day.
I will cover detail of 14 Niyam in next session"  Gurudeo concluded.
