SUMMARY OF JINWANI-NAVKAR MANTRA--!!!.

 Friends, on Guru Deo's advice organizers were keen on updating of kids Jainism knowledge. As a visionary Gurudeo advocated it's need as there will be more challenges to Jainism faith in near future from outside as well as inside. A sound foundation of kids with basics of Jainism is a must for it. Keeping it in mind a lecture of Gurudeo was organized on Sunday. Here is a coverage of it. Hope kids, young and elders all Jain will also find this lecture valuable and motivational.

 "Dear kids, I appreciate sacrifice of Sunday by your parents to bring all of you here. I am sure at the end you will feel being blessed for it. Today's subject is based on Navkar Mantra. By this time you all have learnt it with meaning. Many of you might be knowing reasons why it is regarded as most holy, pure, and auspicious Maha- Mantra of universe. Mantra is based on three most admired virtues of Jain

religion. They are Samyag (correct)- Dhayn, Darshan and Charitrya.

Correct faith gives us power to select right religion which can lead to salvation. Correct knowledge make sure right practices adopted for leaving life with minimum sins and simplicity. Correct Charitrya can

ensures cutting off accumulated negative Karmas with Sayami life. It also prohibits new sins coming in. We know Sayam is a control over five organs and mind, speech and body. First Pada is a bowing down to soul who conquered all body related evils termed as Ari ,winner is being Arihant Bhagwan. It shows us how important is to make soul free of four Kashay and eighteen sins. Equally important is to stay away from25 wrong faith Mittyatva and five Kaam- Bhoga. They are

major obstacle in Sayam Marg and last goal of Moksha or salvation  

These internal enemies are more dangerous than  external enemies.

As a reward to clear over body related negatives souls gets the Regal status of "Arihant and Kewali". In next stage when body related evils

are got over- salvation path get accomplished with the "Sidha -Gati". With Siddha status there is an end to body and birth related sorrows. Soul get rid of vicious circle of life, death and again next many more births.  Aacharya Bhagwant and Sadhuji both are symbol for correct character. While "Upadhyaaji are symbol for correct true knowledge.

They study thirty two  Aagam and explain to devotees. Correct faith

is a common virtue of all of these5 deities. We can trace origination of Navkar Mntra with " Bhagwati Sutra" It's starting Pada is Navkar.

It opens with title as "Mangal Charan". Nine lines with 68 alphabets give a summary of road leading to salvation or Moksha. You can see Pratikaman book to get 108 virtues and absence of 18 flaws of all the

five deities being---- 12+08+36+25+27=108 A+S+A+U+S. All these 108 virtues are the final result of "Sayami" life lived as per Jinwani. As you will grow you can study at more depth the sacrifices all these noble souls made so as to their name got included in Navkar Mantra

 This flow of Jinwani from Thirthankar and Gandhar Bhagwan has a unique power to fill our soul with holy inner peace and appreciation, 

Wish for the future golden day which will make you too fortunate to get into "Panch Parmesthi" category" Gurudeo concluded lecture.

JAINISM---ESO PANCH NAMUKKARO--BOWING DOWN TO PANCH PARMESTHI------------------!!!.

On his move to next destination Gurudeo has a stop at our suburb. I share herewith his lecture based on Jain Navkar Maha Mantra. Hope

readers will add it to knowledge of most auspicious Navkarmantra.    "Devanupriya You all are reciting this holy Mantra. Majority must be knowing it's meaning. Today I will share with you the importance of last two lines. Have you ever given a thought why it is so powerful

and capable to clear all sins and highest auspicious in the universe -?.

In domestic life we bow down to Parents and Teachers as a mark of our respect, gratitude ,affection and with a feeling of obligation for their role in shaping lives. To bow down to others need 3 conditions.

1-A particular soul need to have correct knowledge of virtues which call for bowing down. Such souls must be capable to appreciate the sacrifice ,devotion and courage for such noble souls. It can be done only by souls who knew own limitations and difficulties to engage own self in such Moksha marg. It comes from Swadhaya of Aagam.

Humbleness quality is the result of deep study and thought process. 

2.--This particular soul needs to have faith on teachings of Jinwani.

correct faith make soul to visualize real virtues in their true sense.

3.--Such souls needs to be light hearted who don't has any attitude or arrogance to recognize the achievements of soul who attained unique salvation or who are walking on path of salvation by taking a Diksha. A humble soul can only worship virtue of others rather than glittering status or glory. A soul who knew the fallacy of life and wealth can be only able to do such worshipping of virtues. Rest are after power and greed to please people having material things and power for benefits. An arrogant soul cannot recognize any one else than himself. As of  it's result there is no bowing down from such heavy weight soul. He, Himself is a king and refuse to look beyond himself and  his circle. 

When one recite Navkar Mantra-his heart is filled with feelings that oh-! how difficult path of "Sayam.Diksha and Moksha- I with a deep feelings appreciate their noble achievements. I knew from my own example how difficult is to win over inner enemies. How difficult is leaving home and family for Nirjara of Karma. To understand all 32

Aagam  and able to explain them is not a easy task. Souls who have cut off the Dyanavarniya Karma can only do it. Hope keeping you as role model one day in near future I will be able to attain salvation. There are three type of bowing down. Jaghanya means "Mathenam Vadami". It is a short form of Vanadana. It is  used to practice when

 Sadhuji in eyesight outside residing place. "Tikkuto Path"- when in Stanak or upashraya. Lastly for Arihant and Siddha Bhagwan with

two Khamasano one for each. Bowing down to Panch- Parmesthi prevent Aayushya Bandh of a soul in  a lower classes. We all are too fortunate to have this Mahamantra as our legacy gifted by Bhagwan Mahaveer Swami to us Carry it on and on with the feelings I could explain today " Gurudeo concluded his lucid lecture.

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.
