JAINISM------A SIMPLE RECAP FOR DOING PROPER PRATIKAMAN--------------!!!.

Friends, here's the coverage of Gurudeo's lecture given in last kid's Diwali camp during Diwali. This we have marked as a pratikaman year. "Devanupriya as a parent you might have gifted or has made a

future gift arrangements for your kids. If you can gift "Pratikaman of Bhagwan Mahaveerswami to them, it can last with them till their last breath and they will be able to have reduced burden of sins with soul.

Today, I will brief you few guidelines of Pratikaman. On completion of this lecture, organizers will distribute copies of it. In markets and social media there is flood of video audio. Hindi version, short, mini, Pratikaman and so on. I insist only go for from book to have  desired results. I am confident a real and true Jain will approve it only from  "Ardhamaghdi combined with Hindi book. Must be done in Samaik. One can select any written book as per related branches but must not do Pratikaman on electronic media which is not based on "Aagam".  

Kids you know to err is human. In absence of true knowledge we are prone to mistakes. Admitting that- I have done a mistake and seek a remedy or forgiveness for it-* can be possible with Pratikaman only.   "Aakarman" is a war,"Pratikaman is going back from war with soul.

Now kids you can note down the steps for doing holy Pratikaman.      A.-Take Samaik. Then ask in mind for Gurudeo's permission to do it. B.-Pratikaman has six components called as "Aawashyaks".They are Samaik, Vandana, Chauvistav (Praise of 24 Thirthankara-- Loggas.),  Pratikaman, Karyostarga -( Dyan of Loggas) and Pratyakhan (vows).

 

1.-Samaik-1st Aawashka covers 12 Stul (99 Atichar),18 sins, Choti Sanlekhna. Pratikaman for Sadhuji and Shrawak are different. Later are given slight freedom in 12 Vrata to accommodate in domestic life and business. All monks have absolutely no choice than original holy Aagam. Hindi word "Sthul" means broader. Sthuls are in Hindi. It is  different than later 12 "Anuvrata".12 Sthul covers-- sins of yesterday. Anuvrata are Pachkhan for today and are in "Ardhamaghdi, This is a  language of Devloga. It is derived from mix Maghad state of antient India and mixed with other and Hindi language. In the beginning one has to  start with Echami-Thami, Darshan Samkit and Aagme Tivihe. Stul needs to be spoken in "Dhyan" with Aaloyu word regret feeling.  2.-Chauvistav---Loggas.                                                                    

3.-Vandana------ Bowing down with 3 Tikkuta and 2 Khamasana.      4.-Pratikaman--It has following components.                                    a.- 12 Anuvrata.                                                                                      b.-Badi Salekhna and Santhara. Sansalekhna is Tapsya later is result.  c.-25 Mithyatav and14 Samuchim.                                                        d.-5 Path from Shramansutra. Original for monk adopted for Shrawk  e.-33 Bol,Namo Chausihay (Nigranthpravachan,Manglik,Khamasan.  f.-5 Padoki Vandana.Arihant,Sidhaha Bhagwan and three Parmesthi.  g.- Doha, Aayriya, Daeedivpa,84 lakh Jivayoni and Khamatkhamna.  5. Karyosatrga- Loggas Dhyan 4,12,20 and 40. For daily 4.,for the Pakhi 12.For Chomasi Pakhi 20 and Sawastari 40 numbers- Dyan. 

6.-Pakhkhan-Vow for own limitation Sunrise, Navkarshi, or Porshi. At the end summary path of Dosh or flaws. Normally it takes forty eight minutes to complete. The design combines all five Pratikaman in it-They are Mittatav, Avrata,Kashay,Pramad and Ashubh-yog. One has to replace words for day and night Pratikaman. It covers all the three periods. A single parent can take a week time to train kid. The  procedures to link all 6 steps are given in book called "Vidhi".It is also  must. Most important thing is adding feelings to it. A flashback shall run  before eyes for wrong committed" Gurudeo concluded. I took the image of Pratikaman book to share with blog readers.

JAINISM------- TOUR TO HEAVEN ----------!!!.

Friends here is extract from Gurudeo's lecture in kids camp at last year Diwali camp. Though it was for kids, I feel it a eye washer for us also. "Dear kids hope you are enjoying your vacation. To make it better, I will take all of you to a imaginary heaven's tour. On it's end  or completion, I am sure you will appreciate the magnetic power Mahaveerwani carries. A powerful preaching has not been followed by majority of human race. Let it may be let us begin heaven tour.

All of us have not seen heaven in current life. Probably it may have been referred to Devloga If I ask you to name heaven on our planet, you may name Kashmir or similar place having splendid eyecatching

nature's beauty at it's peak. Heaven is not only a beautiful location, it  is a place where living is possible in peace, harmony, comfort with a joy. In my view if all human race decide to follow first 5 principles of Bhagwan Mahaveer and stay away from 18 sins- any place can be converted into heaven. I do not make this statement out of sheer love ,respect ,affection for Bhagwan Mahveer ,I will elaborate it for you. you. Now take a hypothetical case study to vouch for my statement.

In case all human decide to follow Bhagwan's path the scene will be

1.Pranatipaat-Ahinsa-No war, no murder.no que in front of butchers shops, eggs plates missing from shops, no rash driving killing for non availability of liquor and no racial riots, no mob leaching. No more recruitment for soldiers, defusing nuclear and other weapons. No need remains gun license. Every one assured natural death only.     2.-Mrushawad-No cheating out of false narratives .No case which involve non-truth, no false witness in courts. No breach of a small or

larger commitments. The rule of day is simply honesty. Mistrust and bankruptcy get vanished. No need for living two faced masked life.    3.- Non thefts- No need to lock houses and keeping lockers. No police searching for thieves and dacoit's. Every one feeling secured.

4.-Bramachara- No illicit martial relation. No Divorces or break up.

5.- Non -possession-No running here and there after wealth. Every one is satisfied ,no place to greed resulting into ever lasting peace All sins associated with wealth and countries for boundaries get nullified

Kids both of us know that it is a distant dream and utmost impossible

Here lies the reason of our basic sufferings and why there cannot be ever heaven on earth. Just try to minimize the dream to small scale and try to apply to self, circle or family. Watch the outcome. Results can only tell you the greatness of getting Jainism as religion and Shri Bhagwan Mahaveerswami as savior, guide and philosopher. Kids this

minimum 5 guidelines are capable to earth into heaven. All of your--

modern days study will teach you software and hardware updates but could not update you on spiritual and soul development. Unless you make Jainism as a way of life peace will be missing." Gurudeo ended his lecture. I wondered human searching for a imaginary heaven and making real heaven on earth a similar or worse place than  real hell.

JAINISM-----LIFE FIXATION PROCESS----AAYUSHYABANDH---------!!!

Friends herewith- I share notes from Gurudeo's lecture around last Diwali from my diary. Gurudeo was covering "Uttaradhayansutra" to mark celebration of "Veernirwan".This particular lecture was based on 33rd chapter of it named as "Karmaprakriti". As it is of immense good for our understanding of life fixation process, I share it for blog readers. "Devanupriya, some time ago  on "Sawastariday".I have explained you the process of Aayushyabandha in six stages mostly

on Bhadrapad Sudi Panchmi for majority of living souls. For all of us it may not happen in same "Sawastari" but may happen on the different Sawastari day of different years as per current life term.6 stages are Jaati, Gati, age, structure, Pradesh and Anubhag. Last two  are meant - how Karmas will get unfold and their severity to offer suffering and joy. All  six stages completes  fixation of next life. 

For most of us it is a myth or wrong understanding that it involves a single day conduct. Just remember for ever that each living soul is accumulating particles of "Aayushya Karma" each moment. On a given "Sawastari" day the Aayushyabandh" process give such all accumulation a concrete shape. Thus your one day's good Karmas

cannot give a good next life term. Bhagwan Mahaveer swamiji has explained various conduct that results in life  fixation of next life. these conduct, I will brief you today. Can refer "Uttaradhyansutra".A soul gets matching circumstances on that particular day of Sawastari.

1.-Hell- There are 4 conducts that attract hell life fixation. They are Mahaaranbh, Mahaparigraha, Panchendriya killing and Kunimahar. Maharanbh is killing living soul for living or business. Parigraha is possession beyond normal needs, Kunimahar refer food from killing of living animals, non vegetarian food, drinks and eating eggs. one can refer 15 Karmadaan  for Mahaarabh  caused by business or job.

2.Animals plant- Tiryanch - category cover following four  reasons. They are-Maya, Nikruti( lowest conduct),speaking lie or hiding truth wrong measurements and mixing lower grade material to quality.A  soul may be carrying 2 personalities. Inside may have bad intention   3.-Human being- Bhadra (gentleman conduct),Vinit ( respectful ),a soul who carries pity and compassion for others in it's heart. Lastly a soul which is free from jealousy and hate attracts human life fixing.

4.-Heavenly God.-Sarag Sanyam (Staying away from sins),Soul taking Pachkan (vow to restrict consumption),Akam- Nirjara( Doing Nirjara without any willingness.)Without knowing sufferings the body and keeping fast without intentions to get salvation. Monk,Jain Shrawak with Pachkahn can get this place as per conduct. Total 12

Deologa exits along with higher Anutopatik Devloga in upper part.

Hopefully this august gatherings can grasp Bhagwan's message and care about each action of mind, speech and body. As Veernirwan is knocking the door shortly decide to read at least Hindi meaning of "Uttaradyansutra. Bhagwan explained power of Karma. Karma can only make you feel happy or face sufferings. Just look into your life  and at least give up Hell and Tirayanch conduct Gurudeo concluded.

JAINISM----CHANGES NEEDED FROM PANDEMIC------!!!

Friends, few of my relatives found positive from Corona. I could not meet them due to their isolation and personal safety reasons. But I used  talk to them, once they felt some relief. Such talk increased my faith in Jainism and it's living style. Herewith, I try to pen down the talk summary. Hopefully it will make readers to think future living. One must appreciate even negative circumstances can offer good lessons if taken in right perceptive and spirit. Let us search positives of this trauma that is haunting human race all over entire world. Pain the families faced is beyond words. In most cases full family got infected as the virus entered community transmission phase. Their sufferings and dependence on society can only be imagined by us.

 The basic "Bhavna" of Jainism that soul comes alone and goes alone is very much true. In the room where patient is made to quarantine, no body dares to enter. Even the disposal and rituals of dead body become a big issue. Jainism correctly say soul is the only and only friend of herself. Worshipping places like Thirth ,Temple. Sthanak, Upashray. Gurudeo cannot be available all the times. We generally defer our religious study, learning and activities to our later stage of 

old age. There is no guarantee for any life and it is too uncertain whether one will ever reach that stage. Reading and Swadhya of all Aagams can be with us till the last birth. It needs only availability of books. It is comparatively easy. Hopefully we start working on it. Now let us inspect our behavior. Infection in lower income group

may be justified as they have to move to keep the kitchen fire going on. But in case of most cases of upper class infection, they are on account of parties, social gatherings and opening of working places for not to miss revenue targets. The greed of wealth played a major

role in spreading the infection. No doubt, there are few genuine cases where attendance becomes a must out of duty like doctors, nurses and pharmacist. Even some social workers serving meals and other necessities got affected. That can be sheer bad luck and destiny. In most other cases it was negligence to observe social distancing. The

root cause of this pandemic seems to be eating living birds to fulfill the taste of mouth and stomach. Unless, we decide to ban  all food other than vegetarian food, the havoc will be unavoidable. One may learn or may not learn from mistakes. But it for sure entire world has to pay cost of mistakes. One also can observe that for living very few things are needed. All extravagance is a show business. Old people were much happy than us even when they lived simple life. Easy

money made all of us victim of status symbol. Exhibiting wealth and money power force us to live a wild life dominated by social evils. Let our next generation be taught to have simple living and more God fearing. It can put break on bad habits and having healthy life style. Such change if effected can be a blessing in long, I feel.The

faith in Mahaveer Bhagwan can definitely source of positive energy.

JAINISM--A RARE JAIN BIRTH OPPORTUNITY-------------!!!.

Friends as of every one of you, the pandemic given comparatively more free time to me. I utilize it more for reading about human life.
A small paragraph cached my eyes and made me to think about it.
Herewith I share same with you. Human nature is mostly marked by unsatisfied nature. We do not value things we get- naturally. We do
not care for immense utility life gets from air, water, sun and soil.
Similarly, we seldom know value of life to born as a human. If as a
Human we get birth in Jain legacy nothing can be as precious as it .If by chance if it is in India like Aarya country ,it can be a best destiny.

Let me justify content based on above paragraph. I could not verify
the figures of it. Still, I quote it for to stimulate thinking by readers.
The writer gave the classification of total births in universe. He says
In a each second ,100 billions soul takes birth in universe. Out of it
largest birth portion belongs to animals and plants ( Tiryanchgati ).
Their share amounts to 99 billions in above. In the residual balance
of 1 billion,99 cores souls take birth in Heaven or Deologa. In the
last 1 crore births- 99 lac soul take birth in hell. Now counting is
limited to only 1 lac births. Out of it 99000 souls find birth in tiny
category of "Samuchhimjiva" like mosquitoes. Now in last 1000

births as Human,900 births happens in Anaryadesh means countries
where no Jainism is followed as religion .Jain food and Jain monks
are rare .In 100 births in Aaryadesh 99 souls take birth in other than
Jain religion. Only single soul is fortunate enough to get the unique
Jain religion. From other religions some pure souls with study may
decide to follow life style similar to Jainism. The figures may be
estimated but the principles are matching. As plants and animals are largest  category followed by heaven, hell and human.

The purpose of this blog is not to boast any one particular religion.
It is to highlight the faith which cares for human life. We have seen
how difficult to get a a birth in human race .For such a born, to take
care for his life, freedom and liberty is equally important. Hope now
we all  thanks our Karmas or good deeds which gave us a chance
to born as a human in India. Let us make event more meaningful. Let

us repeat the deeds and take a new chance to born in Mahavideha
Kshetra as Jain and surrender to Arihant Bhagwan so as to get the
salvation or Moksha as soon as possible. Salvation is the only one
remedy which can prevent us visiting 84 millions places of births.
One may be Jain by his deeds not necessarily Jain by birth only.

Living with Jain value is more important. Birth in a Jain family do
not give a birth right to get Jain religion automatically in next life
cycles. In current birth how one use the life is more important. Hope

my fellow brothers and sisters note it and work hard for salvation.
Let us follow Jainism with real term as meant by Mahaveerswami.
Let this auspicious Manglik gave us the power to use life wisely.

JAINISM-- A MUST FOR SHRAWAK-----KHAMAT-KHAMNA AND AALOCHANA------!!!.

Friends, hopefully you all have covered current Paryushan to it's full in spite of all odds. Please allow me few minutes before I present the captioned subject. I thanks all readers for their support for my Blog
viewers crossed 10000 mark on auspicious day of Sawastari 23/08.
Reader's faith and appreciation of Jinwani give me strength to add
newer things from ocean of Mahaveerwani. A big Thanks to all.

 Herewith I share my noting from my diary of Gurudeo's lectures.
" Devanupriya today I will discuss with you two important tools.
Many of you might be aware of them. The two tools are a best way
to reduce our hard feelings and negative Karmas. On Sawastari day
we all offer our apologies for misconduct or misdeeds towards all
living souls. It is called "Khamatkhamna" which means I seek your
forgiveness for mistakes committed by me knowingly or otherwise.
It brings simplicity to our soul and reduce Kashaya and it's burden.
If the victim is a sensitive soul, he can be put at more and rare peace
Only a simple soul is not ashamed to ask for apology. Similarly one
needs a large heart and logical thinking power to introspect actions.
Human mind is so extra workaholic that we keep up hate. allergy
for others not in our touch. This can be avoided by Khamtkhamna. 

Second is Alochana. It means accepting sins and wrong action by
own soul. In Jain culture it a tradition to recite Alochana on every
quarterly on Pakkhi. On a Sawastari day it is a custom to read the
Aalayana around 2pm. You will now be provided a small booklet to

go through"Brihataaloyana" by Shrawak Shri Lalji Ranjitsihaji. He
has done a very brilliant job by composing Jain philosophy with all
coverage of sins in a lucid and simple language. It is a good book to
impart high moral values in members of family. One must try it.

Click here to download the PDF

(For use by devotees have provided link for related book PDF.)

It is an important book which can be used in Jain Paath-Shala to
impart moral training to kids. It contains high moral values Dhohas
in simple and easy language, I advice to Shravaks to read at each
Pakkhi Pratikaman in to start with. I strongly believe that if Jain
devotees apply the tool of forgiveness ,so many litigation can be

settled out of courts. It can save the men hours, agony and expenses
of advocates and others. Same is case with "Aalochana".A devotee
if doing it sincerely and getting his mistakes corrected can make his soul light which can put him again on Moksha Marg. Just spare few minutes to go through book" Gurudeo concluded his lecture.
