JAINISM----12 TOOLS TO CUT KARMAS---------"NIRJARA"--!!!.

Friends, getting to Moksha is a long cherished dream for most of us. Bhagwan Mahaveer has provided guidance for such tools in Aagam Bhagwatiji (25/07) and Uttaradyansutra (30).It has been also been covered in 25 Bol. I intend to present subject lecture  of Gurudeo.  "Devanupriya, we all are tired by sufferings of living. All of you can revisit your life lived so far. Majority will vouch  mine statement. Few of instances can be there for few apparent happiness. They all are based on our lack of knowledge being for what is true happiness. A fear of old age and death coupled with parting of near and dear one has always been here. In such a scenario one must try to nullify the root cause of it. Jainism  tells the root cause to be birth. To cut taking birth we need to cut all bad and good karmas. For it Pujya Bhagwan has given following twelve tools. It has also covered in 14th Bol and  nine Tatvas being the basic pillars of Jainism. Let us study them. 

1-Anashaan---It means keeping fast as per capacity. Tapsya is like a fire to burn the negative Karmas. It covers Navkarsi to Maskhaman. As advised by Aagam most Shrawaks observe 5 Thithies  in 15 days. They are Bij, Panchami, Ashtami. Gyaras, Chodas or Pakkhi.Can be observed with fast and Poshad possibly or as per individual capacity.

2-Unodari-------It means daily eating less than prevailing hunger.      3.-Bhikhacharya---It means not to eat home food. Food need to be asked from same culture homes after due inquiry for eligibility. For monks it is  "Gochari" for Shrawaks it is called as " Daya Gochari". It is being designed to know value of food and help to reduce pride  4.-Rasparityag---It means to eat tasteless food free from "Vigaay". 6 Vigaay are milk, curd. sugar, oil butter, and honey."Aayambil Tap" is being designed to follow tasteless food to restrict taste of tongue . 

5-Kaayklesh--It means to reduce body pleasures. Walking bare feet, avoiding bathing and using cosmetics or using fans like measures.

6-Pratisalinta-To control 5 organs of body and four Kashay of soul.  7-Praychit-----It means atonement. It is a self punishment given by Gurudeo after he listen to the mistakes or sins committed by doer. It requires a great courage to admit wrong deeds of self before Guru.    8.-Vinay---It involves offering respect for qualities of monks.            9.-Vaiyavrut------It means personal services for elders or needy. For monks it can be only by monk. A individual can offer  only indirect services to monk without touching body or helping them. For others  one can offer direct or indirect personal help to end his sufferings.       10-Swadhay----It means learning, reading and learning 32 Aagams. 

Reading Aagam make our faith strong and cut Dyanavarniya Karma.
11-Dhayan--It is mediation for soul with concentration of mind.        12-Vyutasarg----It means stopping actions of mind, speech and body getting engaged into remembering " Jinwani".One can recite it with eyes closed Navkar, Loggas, Namothunam, Puchhisunam like Jain Path to offer respect to noble and pure souls Siddha and Arihant.

One can adopt one, more or all 12 tools to cut Karmas. Remember without cutting all bad and good Karmas salvation is not possible.

Hopefully without wasting time we all will do it to our maximum capacity, Using tools can help early Moksha"  Gurudeo concluded.

JAINISM-PLEASE SAY NO TO WAR LOUDLY--!!!.

Friends human sufferings at large scale just seem to be never ending. First it was Pandemic now it is ongoing Russia and Ukraine conflict. It can be concluded that vested interests have decided to keep the fire burning. Recently, I saw a related video on it and it reminded me the Mahaveer swami's non violence theory. Apparent root cause behind pandemic was bat's meat while it is greed for current conflict. Whole world is watching war helplessly. Nearly 141 members out of the193 members of UNO urged to stop it. Thirty five of members remained absent including India and five voted in favor of war. In this context  I liked a war poem by a Palestine poet. He is Mr. Mahmood Darwish (1941-2008).It is too touching. Have a look at image shared for this harsh but true poem. Poet has nicely summarized evils of any war.

We as human are not new to war. We have watched world war I and  2nd including so many others but forget to remember devastation of  a war. Effects of war haunt us for years Soldiers who have lost lives never come back. Properties and other damages takes so many years to get rebuilt. Have you ever given thought why the whole world is held for a ransom by few individuals or super powers ? Broking of

any war is not a single day event rather it is a too long term process. Masses of any country select a person to lead them. Eventually to be in same office forever this Supreme starts to sell dreams and fear to public. No one cares to challenge him. Super power are keeping eye on such leader. They catch him to get added to their customers long list with small favors. With passage of time when full dependence is 

created either superpower to enhance their own territory boundaries invade targeted country. There is more or less same practice by them.

It may not be same case for every case but  greed of big nations has

always been the underlying aims of any war. If as a parent we cared to cultivate a sense of caring for other living souls tiny or big based on non violence theory of Bhagwan Mahaveer, the leader will think twice before any of such misadventure. From childhood when a kid taste non vegetarian food, he start to loose his value for other's lives. Surprisingly all heads who issue war orders have faith in their God.

Whenever I happen to pass from a butcher's shop I remember a line from a famous Hindi movie. Those line says some thing like follow-

"Ek chutki sindoor ki kimat tum kya jano Ramesh babu-------?". Likewise a life of single soldier or civilian means nothing to all these superpowers. There is total ignorance for Bhagwan's second theory of "Anekantwad".No one ready to listen other's view. Only might is right theory guides the decisions. Moreover nuclear weapons are being used as a blackmail tool. I can feel and see a silver lining in all those odds. That is number of protestors and demonstrators in all the

countries world wide. Even in Russia people are gathered for no war theme. Let us hope for a day when our earth  will be declared as a no war zone by  all the super powers. Yes miracles  do keep happening. Hopefully world soon recognizes and approve Bhagwan's theory of non violence and start to value of a single living soul small or big

JAINISM------BADI SADHU VANDANA--------!!!.

Friends, today I intend to introduce a very devotional composition--- called as "Badi Sadhu Vandana". It is composed by a very rare and unique Tapasvi Sant named as- " Pujya Aacharyapravar Jaimalji Saab Maharaj". He was from "Stanakwasi" branch and taken Dikha from Aacharyji BhudharjiSaab. He took birth in vs1765 in Jodhpur around

area called as Lambiya- Medtacity. He breathed last in V.S.1853 with 31 days Santhara. It is popularly believed that he is a -" Ekbhavatati" soul. There are numerous achievements to his credits. Few of them are which I heard- are as in next lines. He learned "Pratikaman" in a standing position in only 3 hours. After taking " Diksha" for 50 years he did not lie on ground  for sleeping.32 Aagams he remembered and can speak without books. He has around 700 disciples. With his this

through knowledge of Aagam he composed this devotional song in a simple and lucid language. I have provided a link below the essay .It can help readers to down load it. The song is a just like a flashback film of history for majority of noble souls of Jain religion. It covers

the souls from first Thirthankar Bhagwan Rishabha-Deo to last one Pujya Mahaveerswami. In my childhood first time I heard it from my mother in a very melodious tune. Since then still today I found  to be haunted by this beautiful Stavan. As a mother if one can learn it. can be very useful in upbringing of a kid. Thus his likings can be shaped in a Jain culture. The coverage is wide. It covers souls who attained

Moksha as well as souls going to Deologa or Mahavideha and going for salvation. In this poem you can meet- Arjun Mali, Gajsukumalji, Sati Chandanbala, Mata Marudevi, Anathimuni, Khandakrishi. One can even find Pandavs and Dropadi, Dharmaruchiangar, Evantamuni

Jambuswami,Brami and Sundari 16 Satiyaji and other great souls .In it Aachayaji summarized from most Aagams like- Uttaradyan-Sutra,

Bhagwatiji, Sukhvipak, Dnyatasutra,Anuttarvaee Antagarasutra. This composition is a proof of Aacharyaji's deep knowledge of all Thirty-two Aagams. It is certainly very useful for devotees from any branch of Jainism. It can be very well read during  our one Samaik to review noble great souls. In few minutes we can praise those pure souls. At

the end a candid confession from my end. My aim was just to make a introduction of it to readers. To explain it's depth and real beauty of this unique composition is beyond my capacity and power of words.

One can take help of "Suguru" to have more detailed explanation.

JAINISM-IF GOING TO MOKSHA IS THAT EASY-?

 Friends again human race is in trap of new Carona variant. Please take care and stay safe. To utilize partial lockdown, I wish to present a new interesting lecture of Guru Deo's Q and A session before some years "Sir I attend your lectures regularly. You have quoted from  a chapter of Jayanti Shrawika that all Bhavi souls will ultimately get liberation.  In another lecture you told that a  "Aaradhak "can get Moksha in three to fifteen maximum lives from "Bhagwati sutra".As per sutra "Su Aacharyaji and upadhyaji-Pandit can get it in 3 Bhava. 

 I do not feel going to Moksha can be that easy ? .Place excuse me. I am not doubting Bhagwan's information but need to understand it. Gurudeo with his usual calm  and smile started answer to him.      "Devanupriya, there is no need to feel sorry as  ours's intelligence level is not that high as needed to understand "Jinwani" but let me try to explain it. Number fifteen is easy to count but if you consider long life span in heaven and hell the period's length is too high. Secondly

it is applicable to Bhavi souls obtaining Sankit and "Paritta Sansari". In this process much more time get passed. Again between the Jain monk who is exactly follow Bhagwan's guideline in conduct and an ordinary Shrawak who still leading a domestic life the former monk has fairly less time to complete the Moksha process. A Shrawak has still to give up Mohniya Karma due to family attachments together with second connection with money in from of possessions. I assume that soul is cutting knowledge and faith related Karma fast. In home

the exposure to 18 sins is more than life of a true monk In a nutshell  if one is clear about salvation path and is ready for sacrifices being mental and physical then his cycles can be reduced to a great extent.  Here I am not talking for souls who born as Jain but not following anything other than Navkarmantra. They may need a good "Guru" to tell them the sorrows associated due to absence of "Jain Dharma. As Chandakaushik was fortunate to have Bhagwan himself as "Guru". 

My short advice can be don't give much thought to how much time one needs for salvation. Just start walking on the road as soon as you realize that nothing is as precious and worth as living for is only one  aim of getting to Moksha or salvation. In deep Jainism study one can know the time factor when he study  Jain " 7 Pudgal Paravantan" and Kalchakra specially Avasarpni and Utsarpini then only one can know how less is the period of only fifteen lives. A very rare light soul like Marudevi Mata may not even need  15 lives .On a positive note the number of Siddha is second largest next to "Tiryanch". If it was too difficult then how it could have been possible. Have high confidence reduce Kashay note all Bhavi will go to Moksha"Gurudeo concluded

JAINISM-THREE KEYS FOR TRUE HAPPINESS-!!!

Friends- Jaijinendra ! As we enter into a new year of counting being 2022.,I wish you all a very spiritual year leading to true happiness. On  new year note, we all have a long habit of  making a resolution. I take it a opportunity to share Guru Deo's lecture given on new year.

" Devanuprira, entire human race is in search of happiness since so many centuries. In my view a much lesser portion of us could do that successfully. Another bigger portion of human population found an illusionary happiness in wealth, entertainment and comforts. A much much large portion do not care for it. Reason being  that they are too burdened to meet their demand to  have basic needs of food, home and shelter. Today I will discuss it all. Hope your resolution covers it.

Dev, Guru and Dharma are 3 keys which definitely can help you to discover  a true happiness. You must decide to go for  it's resolution,

Dev cover "Panch Parmeshti" including  present Kewali. Guru cover "Su-Guru". Here "Su" refer  monk who is exactly following Jainism. A monk from any branch who without caring for his body or name following  strict "Panch Mahavrata" and has Samyag knowledge of Jinwani, correct faith and character  reflected in his total conduct.

Don't expect a "Ku-Guru to help you to be path of salvation. He may be a tool to delay your "Moksha". Dharma word is being originated from Sanskrit word meant to "Dharan-Karna" Our faith in deep soul is 'Dharma". It covers your conduct towards self and all other things living or non living. Dharma doing is not a show business. If one feel sorry for his anger or hate, harming feelings or body of living  soul,

cheating and all 18 sins is Dharma. It can be added by Samaik, fast  Swadhya and all other actions specified in Jinwani. Punya is diferent than Dharma. Punya gets you near to Dharma.Dharma offer Nirjara. Nirjara of Karma is essential to cut Karma and walk near to Moksha

When you are free and relaxed just try to compare your status with other less privileged class in society. The progress, wealth and peace you are enjoying currently cannot be only result of your intelligence or hard work .Major contributory unknown force must be of Dharma.

Only " Kewali "can know if all such deeds are from past or current.

Even in a day busy schedule one can cover all of three as follow. Have minimum of 24 Thirthankar or Navkar Loggas Mala, Guru-Vandana with Path of "Tikkuto and Khamasano" in a Navkarshi and Sanwar or Samaik. Friends without it we can't walk on Mokshamarg.

JAINISM----THANKS GIVING FOR 300 BLOGS +143K VIEWS---------!!!.

Friend' today's day is a very joyful day for me with above figures added by same group on face book. F.B. has +850 direct and  around 300 members added by members. My feelings are same as of a man who plant a seed of mango with intention to gift his grandchildren the best fruit of world in years to come. I thought that my kids,family should not miss best teachings in world in form of Jinwani for issue 

of reading "Ardhamaghdi" language's Aagam. Guredeo helped me to understand these holy books. With my average ability of grasping it what ever I could understand -I reproduced it in a easier English one since 2013. I regret for not able to write in Hindi. Even in my wildest dream I have never imagined these numbers. All these numbers are not that much high  in the right sense of Great Teachings of Jinwani 

when compared to any sensation video getting viral on digital media now a days. Still I am happy .In writing Blog -I was too clear for my do's and Don't. I purposefully avoided to name My Gurudeo & monk I heard so far. As- I do not wish to  harm other devotees worshipping others. Even whenever any name involves it  give birth to pride and jealousy for majority living souls. Mine is best attitude prevails even when all Aacharya's original source is from Mahaveer-Wani. Mine second boundary line was not to criticize any branch of Jainism or

other religions. I personally believe that every soul is free to have  own faith which he believe My third care point was to match meaning of "Aagams" avoiding the 25 Mitthyatav's three sins for Aagamwani- opposite then excess and lesser. I gave references where I can give, Forth one  have not shared any video from you tube any recording or other digital platform' material. With all those and other various self imposed restrictions

points I have completed 300 blogs. I am aware of most controversies or disputes among branches of Jainism .I kept my blog aloof from all such issues. I also avoided to express what I feel correct as I believe in Bhagwan's Anekantwad. Bhagwan's name alone is so pure that our ill feelings toward others will harm the sanity of his name. Deep in my heart, I knew any father will not like to witness his all quarreling kids. I have not selected money option where Blogger can put advertisements. At last a one more thank to readers for their such a overwhelming response. Blogger and images Keep reading and bringing it into life. It can definitely bring us all near to Moksha or salvation at earliest cutting numerous life and death cycle.  I feel my work can help the beginners who have interest in Jainism to ride on the first step of it's vast ladder. Jai Jinendra------!!!.
