JAINISM-REAL SAFETY TOOLS OF JAINISM------!!!.

Friends problems and desperate time gives human the mind  special thinking power.In the process,we may find out some hidden secrets as suggested by our mentors.The Corona pandemic made myself to
think accordingly.What I can discovered is being shared herewith.

Founder of Jain religion in this period, Mahaveer swami has gave
us various methods to live life. How they are useful, let us study.
1-Mask-It is known as "Muhpattti". Monk and Shrawak use it. It aim at protecting tiny viruses from entering into mouth .Suddenly a small
mask is running in short supply as everyone needs them to use .It
take care of air born viruses if any in surrounding atmosphere. 
2.-Boiled or ash-mixed filtered water--It aims at drinking pure & 
safe water to keep away the water born germs. Patients are given
advice to drink hot water maximum time to take care of throat. It
takes care of water born gems As a basic we need water often.

3.-Non-violence and vegetarian food-It ensures that the harmful
 bacteria or poisonous things do not disturb your digestion. One
can check the status of prices and supply of other than veg. food. It
is a result of fear of eating that keep people to turn to veg. food .It
act as a prohibition of viruses passed on by other living souls.
4.-Samaik-It ensures individual isolation .It is a type of  timely self
meditation. It keeps mind far away from negative energy. In time of
distress Samaik is a tool to connect with own soul and God.

 5.-Sanghtta--It means not to touch others. In Jain culture and in
Samaik or in temple one gender cannot touch other gender. It a kind
of social distancing. Gents can touch only feet of monks.
6.-Poshad--It is a sort of self quarantine. The devotee engaged in
" Poshad" keeps away from all others for a limited time.
7-Charity--Jain religion preaches 9 types of Punya or good deeds. 
 In time of lock down the weaker section of society who looses it's daily earning of living opportunities can be served with this theory.
Hospitals and schools built out of charity are being used to give
treatment and shelter in such a alarming medical emergency.

8.-Aprarigraha-Jainism advocates minimum possession.one can
note in last 40 days, we can live with  only essential things supply.
The less purchasing by masses has shaken many economies and
travel plans. Just check if we follow it ,our purchases and spending
on non essential extravaganza can be reduced to a great extent.

9.-Pratikaman-- All other living souls than self in 84 million Yoni
are being asked to forgive for misconduct if any towards them by
Jain .Let us ask same to Corona virus to forgive mankind. 
10.Faith-The most important tool Jainism awards is strong faith, It's
God concept is totally different. God is not who awards life and
death. Jainism looks God as mentor ,philosopher and guide, He
guides how to live life and get the soul liberated by Nirjara. It's
Karma and Purushartha theory teaches us to take care of self action
by following rules and guidelines of society and state in emergency
times. In present times following such attitude prohibit spreading of
such deadly virus .If each one cares for others spread will be less.

Looking back at 1918 Spanish flue or influenza pandemic, world
has lost more than 50 millions people, out of it more than 12 million
were Indians. The repetition of pandemic occurred in 100 years. If it silently suggest that nature gives 100 years time to mankind to set
right his behavior against other species ?--.I started thinking. I also
request readers to have a review for what may went wrong for all
of human being to face such a wide spread calamity suddenly- ???,

JAINISM--LOOKING BACK AT 250 COMPLETED BLOGS-----------!!!.

Friends on 3rdApril 2020 ,I have completed penning down of 250th
blog in series of Jainism-ways to attain salvation------Mokshsadhna.
Before  approx. 77 months on 24/11/2013.I started it. On 1/01/2014
,I wrote 50th blog having viewers plus 3900.The figure reached the
mark of 100th blog on 18/09/2014 with viewers around plus 12000.
As on today i.e. 9th April 2020 the readers reached magic figure of
plus79600.Leaving those numbers and statistic, when I look back at
those blogs and viewers and their comments, I feel immense happy.
The joy can be compared to a farmer when seed sewed by him can
be seen in form of flourishing mango tree. Giving sweet fruits. A big
Thank You to Blogger for providing land in form of platform.

Average viewership number stand at number 1033 per month which
may not be impressive but the fact that Jainism interest exists is
sufficient for me to carry on the task without any self interest .At
some point of time in life majority of us needs to turn to religion
shelter to have inner peace and consolation. Better if decide to do
it as early as possible to have strong foundation through out life .I
hope more young people to read us through oral communication. 

In opinion of zoologist the king of forest  has a peculiar habit. He
prefers to take overview of his past path at regular interval, so that
he can have safe march in near future. This habit of retrospection
offers him a safe way ahead in forest avoiding past mistakes if any.
In similar ways, I check with my self frequently if I am keeping the
object alive witch I set for myself ,in the beginning of writing. In the
absence of feedback except few comments ,I do the work myself.

With a  sole object keeping young generation in vision, I started it.
My main object was to simply the Jinwani from Aagam based
literature and to represent it to youngsters in a readable form.It is
always better to read original than other versions .I knew it since
beginning. But given a choice to read Aagam in "Ardhamaghdi,they
may prefer to continue with traditional ways of Puja. It may consist
of going to temple ,taking Darshan and then back to routine. In the
said process they might overlook the treasure Bhagwan Mahaveer
Swamiji left for us in form of Jinwani. It could be a great loss.

While doing my task I have taken care to provide in blog maximum references of Aagam so that my narratives does not breach truth as
per Jinwani. Such care is most necessary because there is no other
sin bigger than to say anything which is not matching or in contrast
 to Jinwani. Secondly I was also cautious not to impose my branch
wise preferences and to remain impartial to all Jainism branches.
Beside Jain religion I have not commented on other religions unless
they have been called on. It could happen as I personally believe
that any type of faith is a subject matter of individual soul. His self

devotion and engagement with religion shape that One must have
liberty to decide form of his  prayers and devotion for Almighty.
  Lastly to say Thanks for all who made it possible will be a mere
formality. Better I will like to carry their support as a obligation to
repay their debt for liking and appreciation, I believe that this kind
of obligation will be a force that keep me carry on this blog. 

One request to readers that they can motivate other to read blog as
much as possible. Other than 10 popular blogs, remaining blog are
aimed to reveal secrets of living life in simple and peaceful ways.

JAINISM---MAHAVEER JANMA KALYANAK-----2020.-----!!!.

Friends Jayanti or birthday normally are meant for celebration.Now
While the world is passing through difficult and sad time due to the
pandemic caused by Corona virus,this year let us give it a different
shape.Let us replace the celebration with sweets and procession by
celebration with home prayers,apology and asking forgiveness.Let
us pray for forever eternal rest for departed souls.Let us add prayers
for early recovery of patients admitted for positive tests.When our
some brothers are suffering we must restrain from celebration.

This year's Mahaveer Jayanti will be on 6th April 2020 being a day
of Chaitra Sudi Teras .On this day Bhagwan was born 2620 yrs ago.
I hereby try to explain apology reasons. We human as a majority cannot claim that we have never disturbed other living souls in any
manner. They may be insects,animals,birds or plants. This does not
confined to only current life .In all previous lives and current life
whatever misdeeds ,we have done towards them ,we must seek their
apology and seek for their forgiveness for us. Bhagwan in Karma
theory explained one type of  joint Karmas attachment . It is termed
as "Samudaik Karma Bhandan. What it means.In old days people

enjoyed watching bull or hen fight or as of now it is mob lynching.
In such type more than one person got involved in torture.Take an
 another example of ragging in colleges or hostels .Such Karmas 
returns it, sufferings as a whole. We do not know nor remember if we
have done such crimes or not. Still on a safe and better side this
option is being suggested. For it one can do self Aalochana by
Pratikaman path-18 sins and 84 million Yoni Khamatkhamna.

At the same time we must forgive all souls for their misdeeds if any towards us. There is no point in carrying on revenge feelings with 
the soul. We have to clear all negative and dark layers. In simple
ways, we can celebrate the birth day of this great soul. We can have
minimum 11 Navkar,2 Loggas and two Namothunam together with
above Aalochana .Better if one can add "Puchhisunam " to this.
 All Jain and Non- Jain  must be thankful to Mahaveer Bhawan the
noble soul who taught us value of life of any living soul. One can
imagine the fear animals felt when stored in butcher's shop. We must assure living without disturbance to all co planet mates. Just
see the natural magic-this may be a unique day of  Pujya Bhagwan's
Jainma-Kalyanak when automatically all meat, wine ,smoking shops

are closed by compulsion of case. Minimum sins birthday gift- !!!. 
Let us have faith in our good deeds and positive Karmas.Let us
hope and pray this Mahaveer Jayanti will bring the much needed
silver lining to end the fear, panic, anxiety griping the world by the
deadly virus.Let this April shall really bring spring to us as said---.

Lastly let us hope next year we will celebrate our this pet Jayanti
with more happiness and souls free of any negative fear. For a
real devotee of Bhagwan each day is his birthday at 24x7 hours,
Still as a tradition let us salute this pure and noble soul. I am sure
this great soul and his light will always help us to fight darkness.

JAINISM--KARNA AND MAHASATI SITAJI- MY CHILDHOOD HEROES-----!!!

Friend 21 days lockout in India is really a testing time. In normal case. we are happy to have a single unexpected holiday. I thought to
utilize it for my favorite hobby of reading. In my home library, I can
get Jain Ramayana and Mahabharata. I picked them and read topics
of my interest. It all made me nostalgic for my childhood. When all
my friends and  elders were fans of Arjun and Ramchandraji, I was
impressed by Karan and Sita from these epics. Here with I share it.

Ramayana was in the era of our 20th Thirthankar Puj.Munisuvratji
and Mahabharat belongs to 21st Thirthankar Pujya Neminathji. The
both Karna and Sita will get salvation. As given in future Chovishi
Karna will be next 20th Thirthankar with name Shri Vijayji. Krishna
will be 12th one named Amaan.,Ramchandraji and 5 Pandavas got
salvation in same life. Sitaji, Dropadiji, Laxman and Ravan will get
salvation in near future. Ravan will be liberated as "Thirthankar".

As a rule most of people admire only winners. Looser are  never be
meant for motivation and inspirations .Karna fought with his own
destiny with full of his capacity and vigor. Loyalty towards friend
Duryodhana and inclination of charity at any cost were his best of
features. He was aware of all wrongs and negatives of Duryodhan.
Karna has never forgot obligation of Duryodhaan when- he alone
stood by him when all gathered to insult him. Duryodhan made him
King of Angaadesh to bring Karna at par with all kings. In real term
Karna was real son of king of kings nothing less than great  The Sun.

Destiny played all types of havoc with Karna. His real mother Kunti
and Guru Parshuram abandoned Karna without his fault. Indra God
arranged that he shall be deprived of shelter coats gifted by Sun.
Even knowing that it may cost him his life, Karna gifted them to the
Indra in disguise of Bramana. One self made principle Karna did not 
want to break that no one shall return empty handed from his doors.
Before the final exit. he favored his real mother by promising not
to touch any one Panadava except Arjun. This is when Karna knew
that his real mother never dared to call him her son. At last when he
saw wheels of chariot drowning inside the land and death seemed

to be inevitable the  warrior did not asked for mercy of Arjuna, He
asked him fair war ethics which Krishna never granted. Soon after
it, The Great fighter breathed his last. History cannot ignore him. He failed to get justice everywhere Dronachharya refused teaching him. Circumstances could not cloud his real personality and glory.

I remember his last wish expressed to Lord Krishna. It is as given
in my favorite book read in childhood called "Mrutununjay" by late
author Mr. Shivaji Sawant. Karna requested Shrikrishna to throw
his ashes and residual of body in a most infertile land. The reason
he told Shrikrishna that he never want another unfortunate man like
him to take birth in this world. I do not remember, how much time, I
cried while reading this book. Now book is available in English also.

Whenever I see people engaged in struggle and never gave up in life I remember the great warrior Karna. Hat's of to this warrior who has fought all offerings of destiny without compromising his principles.

In this new world where backstabbing is common the loyalty of this great warrior is unique and beyond words. An  emotional attachment with Duryodhana in a dark moment of life made him true friend of Duryodhan. Fear of loosing life, request by the great lord Shrikrishna nothing can detach his ties with his friend's obligation forever life.

When the warrior died on battlefield nobody has ever imagined his defeat or death .Destiny was not fair to him and cheating was never  been his business. The "Maharathi " conquered death while taking his last breath. Whenever human race will search for great souls in human history they will come across Karna's name in golden letters  

My second favorite is Sita Mahasati. In all odds and misfortunes, she
never compromised her dignity. She is called daughter of soil as her
real mother may have gave her up. With lot of dreams she became
queen of Ayodhya and wife of Prabhu Ramchandraji. She forced to
leave palace. To be with husband she left kingdom on the way to
forest. She never compromised with her duties as wife and never
consented to marry with Ravan to end up her prison in Lanka. She
always treated all others as brothers except Ramji out of her love.

 On her return to Ayodhya after  gap of 14 plus years Seeta's destiny
was still not showing any positive signs. She has to face exile in
forest as people were doubted on her Chasity and holiness. She most
daringly offered single parenting to lovely twins Laav and Kush. At
last to prove her purity she dared to enter in a burning fire. What a
great inner confidence and self respect, I  bow down to her whenever
I go through her sufferings which she faced in a most coolness and
calmly manner without making noise and complaints. Being a wife
of most popular King known for justice, she could not enjoy to get
real justice for herself, She watched and suffered silently within self.

Hope both of my heroes of past will  stood as role model for all of us as a noble case to fight Karmas without loosing coolness.

JAINISM-- LET US RESET OUR LIFE'S PRIORITIES--------------!!!.

Friends the Covid-19 disaster gave the whole world, it's leaders and all of us to review our priorities for life. The pandemic has given us

ample time to sit at home in self and state sponsored lock down. All

                       " जहाँ हो •• जैसे हो ••वहाँ •• वैसे ही खुश रहना आप••

                         आपसे मिलना ज़रूरी नहीं ••

                        'आपका होना ज़रूरी है'----Be Safe-------------!!! "

are following the social distancing as human is said to be the agent
for spreading the disease. In spare time the various news. twits and
comments on social media made me to think our priorities. Same, I am sharing with my blog readers. Hopefully it may motivate them
to think about it and bring the changes in living precious life.

The disaster acted as eye opener to the limitations of mankind. We
may have nuclear weapons, advance war technology and reserves of currency, oil ,gold and other natural resources not a single part of it
can act as a savior .Human race was caught unaware to fight it. One
of reason of such tragedy is our wrong priorities. As a blind race  to copy each other in war materials, we neglected public healthcare .A
small virus has power to shake total human race. Bhagwan Lord Mahaveer hence advocated non violence for all living souls from
soul having one to maximum five organs. We specially youngsters
must keep away from preachers advocating wrong food involving
any living soul including eggs. This is warning of present pandemic
We as a human are not the owners of this beautiful earth. We are
only co- passengers with all animals, birds ,and plants. From ant to
bat, snake ,goat, fish, hen all are our friends. Live and let live.

 Hospitals. medical staff, scientific research, educational institutes all
were kept as secondary objects. Let the sacrifice of departed souls
act as eye openers for our various rulers of world. Vote bank or the
popular-ism based development should be replaced by welfare tools
Now let us turn focus on individual soul. As a human, mostly all of
us are very optimistic for length of life. We take the life span for
granted and keep running after wealth loosing our real love in forms of kids, family ,good hobbies, music, singing and reading .All of
these good habits provide natural relaxation to mind and body. To

keep routine going on we forget all of it. At top of it, we even do not
care to meet parents and ask for their needs. Then suddenly one day 
 we, notice that we are at risk of loosing life without any self fault.
For most of Jain Jainism is limited to Navkarmantra, Visit to temple
and Jain food. We never think to spare time to purify soul by way of
Samaik, Pratikaman .Swadhya, Gurudarshan, reading Jain literature
Mahveerswami and other noble Aacharyaji left for us a tremendous
treasure in form of Aagam .Bhaktamber and all Jain literature. But

we generally fail to have reading of it. Even Mahaveer Bhagwan

gave 48 hours lecture before his salvation in "Uttaradhaynsutra" to
brief us basics of soul ,we do not care to read it. Let all this change.
Let us realize the sudden threats and twists of life. Whatever good
things we failed to attain spiritually ,charity, serving humanity, shall
be introduced in our life. We all agree that human life is much more
precious than to run after money, greed and anger .Hope to have a
better conscience and divine light to guide us.
