JAINISM-COMPLETION- CHATURMAS-2023--!!!.

 Friends, today being Kartik Sudi Poornima it ensures completion of this Chaturmas. All Jain Sadhuji and Satiyaji will resume" Vihar" on

"Ekam" after sunrise. I share today's lecture of Gurudeo here for you.
"Devanupriya the holy period will end today after "Pratikaman". As per Bhagwan's order we will walk for a new destination. This period might have added much Nirjara and Punya to all of devotees. After our departure you need to carry it on forever daily. Sadhuji may not be here physically  but "Jinwani" throgh 32 Aagams will be with you In brief I will advise following two lines message as reminder to all.
 A layman rush to remember almighty in distress hours. On the other hand a true devotee never forgets him regardless of circumstances. Chaturmas or No Chaturmas a true Jain Shrawak must keep regular Samaik, Pratikaman fast Swadhay to all possible extent. Engagement in religious act with full faith can be our only savior in this life. Our mission is discovery of own soul. Power to look within ourselves can only be available by following guidance of Our Thirthankar and our
full devotion and knowing "Jinwani of Thirthankar Mahaveerswami. Chaturmas is a medium to sow seeds of Jainism in kids and youths.
One can gain real fruits only by continuation on  this learning path.I hope you all by now came to know the valuable contribution Jinwani add to our lives, It establishes a much needed positive inner peace in ourselves. I need not to comment on numerous challenges you face while leading a daily routine life. All of such struggle can be cooled off if you spare few hours for soul and path Bhagwan showed to us.I seek your forgiveness for any wrongs done by us during this entire period of four months. More than prescribed stay can fuel Mohniya Karma so Bhagwan ordered moving of monk to another destination.
As  per a saying flowing water keeps itself clean compared to water in pond."Bahta Pani-Nirmala" We take your leave with all the best wishes for your advancement on path of salvation. This departure is a temporary disconnection .Soon you will have new arrival of Jain Sadhuji and Satiyaji. Hopefully with their able teachings all of you

will carry on the mission to it's fullest .I invite your attention to 12th  Dharma Bhavna. It covers basic s in a summary form.It reads as
" Dharma Karat Sansar Sukh, Dharma Karat Nirvaan---!!!              Dharma Path Sadhe Bina, Nar Tiryanch Saman---------!!!.
With this quote Gurudeo  concluded his. Masses were full of tears.

JAINISM-PUNAYEE- LEAKAGES CHECKING--!!!.

Friends here is summary of Guru Deo's lecture. Hopefully it will act a eye opener for all of us desiring for early salvation and getting Moksha " We all know "Punayee" amount to our good deeds done voluntarily. Jainism informs nine ways for it. Punayee ensures good opportunities for doing religious and all good activities. Here I have


explained earlier that- it is different than "Nirjara" Nirjara cut layers of Karmas. It is possible by control over five organs and mind and leading a "Sayami" life. Now as of any wealth or asset one need to care for minimum use of this positive balance. One is free to use his Punyaee" as of his own choice. On use "Punayee" gets reduced from all corners of soul. For example, husband or spouse expect to get him served by either or kids other than in abnormal circumstances. Such act reduces the balance of soul getting served. Jain culture advocate "Aatma- Nirbhar" or self-reliance practice. If you study life of true
monk-he always do own job himself keeping free to maximum serve "Sthavir Sant"(old or ill monks). One may recall a visit by beggar  He not only comes for begging but comes to offer his own example to us. From his example he demonstrates that he failed to accumulate Punayee and exhausted whatever he could in a too hasty manner. It landed him in today's state. If one reduces his expectations and asking for help-it can be a temporary hard ship but can have hidden good results. Finding own solutions to all domestic problems shape our personality in a visionary and matured one. Appointing various domestic helper can give one a health issues with no burning of own calories adding to his weight. We all know types of nine Punya. Out of  all 9 Punya last 4 Punya do not need resources, As such by good thinking of mind, soft and pleasant speech, services of old and ill
people, respecting souls having correct Jainism faith and knowledge can accumulate Punya for it. Just imagine how in desert areas like Rajasthan people use each drop of water wisely likewise one need to use Punayee balance very conservative manner. Punyaee do not help us directly to get to Moksha. But it can definitely prepare for us a good ground to aim for salvation. Birth in a civilized class ,getting good Guru to understand Jainism, good intellectual level to read all 32 Aagams, good memories of it ,better domestic circumstances to

get engaged into religious practices, same thinking friends all are hidden blessings of Punyaee. Using minimum comforts tools and all luxury material can add to our Punayee. A small leakage can empty the water pot in no time. Same is a case with Punayee hardly earned Hopefully all of you got the message from my Lecture" Gurudeo concluded his one of remarkable and beautifully narrated  lecture.

JAINISM---MEETING- SENIOR CIITIZENS---!!!

 Friends, coverage based on Gurudeo's lectures aimed to help readers of this Blog being 70 plus. Gurudeo was speaking in a camp held for this age group 70. The session was attended by number of members.  "Devanupriya including me we all have succeeded to reach this mark of age. It may or may not be a time of sunset .Being death for all born is universal and established truth though time is uncertain for it.

Before it  knock our door- let us, prepare ourselves to face said event without any fear. I will discuss the subject in five parts today with all you. Hope you will take it with a positive approach, Two things to be added and three things needed to be disposed off .Hopefully you all can hear me. Listeners with hearing issues can change their seats.      1-Add religious activities and positivity---Most of us keep religion for later part of life. It is never late to start good thing, Have basic of Jainism from organizers and start once you reach home. Second part is too important. Every one may have good, bad memories of life. If one is overburdened with bitterness for health issues then negativity occupies the front of mind. Have faith on Karma's theory of Jainism and push  thought oh-! good that I repaid major portion of Karma. It will help you to give up negativity and get replaced by new energy. Mind well there is no better savior than mala of holy Navkar Mantra.
 2.-Add forgiveness-Second task is to clear soul. If one is burdened with list of havocs others played in his life we need to bring the list to nil. Just forgive them by thinking that they were the tools to give you opportunity to clear their all prior personal loans against you. Do not curse them and pray for their coming to fair dealing and prosper. Try to give up rudeness and never be a traitor to persons helping you.
 3.-Dispose Wealth-We know Aparigraha Vrat. It means sources  to give up which are more to our needs. Now at this present state you must be knowing your unfished tasks and sources needed for all of it. Mostly all kids are self sufficient having all basic life needs, In such  circumstances just think of Nine Punya based charity. You may have earned wealth by good or disputed means. Now time has arrived one shall use it for good cause aimed at betterment of  our society and the underprivileged class. May be it can be orphan or blind kids or like.
4.-Dispose off Shalya, pride and hate--This is aimed at cleaning of slate of soul. One might have faced cheating, fraud or similar bad memories of life. Even few mistakes of self or sins committed may be a burden on soul and is haunting you. Get Aaloyana done with for them and forget all of them. It can bring lost peace for oneself. Try to give up self pride and attitude. Mix with people try to offer them all possible help. Try to return to simple life style as of  a kids. Don't be alone. Mix with people and try to add or impart your knowledge. 

 5.-Dispose of fear---One may be fighting with some deadly disease. Even even may be facing some organ failures. One needs courage to fight with it with a strong and positive mind frame. our mind is a too powerful tool for healing.  Read life of Bhagwan Mahaveerswami. How fearlessly he faced all calamities that life that his Karma had
offered him. We are brave to carry on his legacy. Death needs some name and excuse. Your story is not different. There are many others who fought such circumstances. Don't give up. Souls time to be in this particular body is already being fixed at last 'Ayushyabandh" and never will be changed by a micro second. If death could have been avoided by money or medicine no millionaire or doctors have died. So live positively bravely  for whatever balance is in store. Each day
pray for Pandit Maran and Santhara. Old age should not be taken as a curse. It is a natural process. If one removes fear of death absolutely then one can spend the balance with much happiness and joy Just try to make the death event as peaceful with a happy end. Hope all will

 note these of 5 points will add a sparkle of positive thoughts in you" Gurudeo concluded his most positivity based lecture. Seniors were seems to gain positivity. Everyone will need such a fair counselling.

JAINISM--KSHAMA VIRASYA BHUSHANAM---!!!.

Friends, sharing Gurudeo's lecture based on Mahabharat for Kshama. It was last and final day of war. Seriously injured Duryodhana was waiting for death. Ashwathma visited him and asked for his last wish. He sadly in anger told neither he regretted his death, war or his

defeat. His only regret remained that not a single Pandava's blood being tested by the war ground. Ashwathama assured him to fulfill his last wish. He went to Panadava camp and searched for his targets. In a camp 5 beds were occupied. He guessed them to be Pandavas and chopped off their heads and bought them to Duryodhana. With disappointment he told what he bought were 5 kids of Arjuna and not Pandavas. Duryodhana died. Ashwthama realized his mistake and fearing for life tried to run and hide. After some time Krishna, Arjun all came to know about night's sad event which was too horrible and deadly. In a chariot Krishna Arjuna went for his search and were 
successful to bring Ashwasthama to mother Droupadi. Droupadi was in anger and crying kept looking at culprit for some time. Any type of punishment she could have offered with Krishna and Arjun with her side. She told Krishna to leave him as she knew the pain of a mother loosing her dear son. She cried "Muchanti-! Muchanti-! means leave him. Turning to Ashwathama she told " You ignored all the rules of post war. In midnight on sleeping enemies who were weaponless you showered death. I leave you to regret for it as long as you live. Krishna cursed him that for such crime he will never die 
 and regret his actions for ever. Just think offering on spot death was too easy for her. But she offered him forgiveness. Mind well only brave can afford forgiveness. Looking to human history it's cruelty has no limit. Take example of 2nd world war .In Germany hated class were taken to unknown camps with folded eyes and given life sentences like gas chambers and like. How the crime scene can stop if revenge for each crime is being undertaken ?Only forgiveness can 

 break the chain as Bhagwan Mahaveera with own example taught the world. In entire life to all trouble maker he forgave. Attempts on 
his life were made by Goshalak still he never uttered a word. Today
as his true follower let us decide to forgive all who dealt with us in a negative or harsh ways. Assume it to be a return of our own deed. Only such self attitude can make peace to our hearts and minds. Only heartly uttered two words of "Khamatkhamna bring peace forever.

JAINISM-----GOD'S EXISTENCE AND JAINISM'S MESSAGE------------!!!.

Friends here sharing of some thought out of my hearing and reading. All major religions believe God's or his ambassador's to be a human. It means they may be special from birth in human form or God status might have been acquired subsequently by them through self efforts in human's particular birth. Point is earth is a birth place for all such noble souls. As at Aug.2023 approximate world population is-- 8.04 billions. It could not be same since its beginning. Just assume initial population of  only 100 number It suggests that few out of them gave

thoughts for cause of existence and tried to relate births and related issues based on ongoing life. Point is God is human discovery .This can be said to be initial process to search reasons for our existence. It may have different purpose like self security, confidence care peace.  After unknown subsequent years and numbers of thinkers the results  that may have stood up as is a religion covering birth, human control,
and happenings after his death. Universe was being created and some unknown force control it- belief emerged as on of one part and world is forever without beginning or end and nobody control is a second theory for . Beside them there can be more theories. These all related theories took form of different religions with different founders for it
 It introduced worship places, symbols different literatures  Human
used his communication skills to spread own theories to increasing population from centuries. Today whatever we witness in the form of different religions is a latest version. Now let us examine message of Jainism. Own theory of Jainism's is being universe being without it's beginning or end without any creator. Similarly no one is controlling
human life except his own actions till liberation through chains of numerous cycles of lives and deaths in different forms of four Gati. God means souls free from 4/8 Karma. Jainism differs living and non
living and says Lok operates through 6 Dravyas. Jainism message can be seen with it's theory of Ahinasa and 18 sins. Message is clear it is better to practice any religion limited to own class. Religion is a matter of faith and must confine to oneself. Basic purposes of all religion is to show ways of happiness and peace. When one attempts to establish how superior his religion and  try to expand and impose 
his followings on others then all evils begin. He forgets all  of good things and slowly engage into hate .This jealousy can even get turned into wars. One can verify the reasons behind all wars in human lives history. Majority wars were fought out of  hate for different faiths. It could have been avoided if there was respect for each other's faith. Purpose of my essays on Jainism through this Blog is to explain the contents of it in simple term in English for young generation. As I feel they should not miss a treasure of knowledge legacy left over by Mahaveer Bhagwan.  I never tried to criticize other faiths. All Soul must be free to carry on his faiths, his rituals and related practices
without any disturbances is my belief. Even I avoided to comment on inter-branches faiths. After all soul reaches to nearest to the final truth after his so many efforts to get correct knowledge and faith.
Hope it will help to reduce hate for other faiths and live in harmony.
