JAINISM STATUS--POST MAHAWEERSWAMI SALVATION------------!!!

It is interesting to study developments in Jainism after Mahaveer Bhagwan got salvation/Moksha. Devotees can update themselves about it. One can refer Aagams to check the authenticity of material,

After Veerniran only 3 noble soul got salvation i.e.Moksha. They are Gautamswami,Sudhrama Swami and Jambuswami. After  Bhagwan

Mahveerswami----------Sudharmaswami who was his fifth disciple

( Ganadhar) took over from Him. Then last siddha was Jambuswami.Thus Kevaldyan lasted in our era only for 64 years of Mahaveerswami's Nirvan-12 years Gautamswami + 08 years of Sudharmaswamiji and forty four years of Jambuswamiji. Then we made entry into 5th Aara of Kalchakra where Kewaldyan is missing.

After that salvation from Bharatsketra came to an end. Presently only souls from Mahavidehakhetra are eligible for salvation. After end of  64 years- only Shrutkevaldyan remained for next 151 years. It means such kevaldyani were knowing all 14 Shrut. They are being called as Chodahpurvadhari. In those 151 years only 6 souls can obtain this
 high level of knowledge. Their names being- Pujya Shrutdyanaji-- -Prabhavswami,Shayabhavswami.Yashobhadraswami.Sambhutivijayswami Bhadrabhahuswami and Sthulibhadra Swamiji.

After 160 years of Veernirvan ,there was a extreme difficult drought   of continuous 12 years. In this period all Aagams got scattered.12th Angasutra Drastiwad as a practice is not available after two Paats---  ( position) after Thrithankara Bhagwan. It contained a high treasure.
Then there was 4 readings of balance 11 Angasutras originally read by Sudrarmaswami known as Vachna. Present available Aagams are based on it. First Vachna was carried in Patliputra Second Vachna was made in Mathura by Aacharya Skandilacharya. Third Vachna was done by Nagarjun Aacharya and last was done by Aacharya Deodhigani Kshma Shravan after 993 years of Veernirvan in city of Vallabhipuri. It was a great new beginning for Jain religion.

 Thus Aagam got book form. But it again got scattered here and there. Then in Vikram Samwat1472 Veer Lokashah from Ahmadabad in Gujarat took much needed efforts and done replicating and doing preservation of Aagams in present form. Present era of 20th century 

 marked byJaymalji,Jawaharlalji,Amolkaji,Ghasilalji,Aanandrushiji ,Umeshmuniji,Madhukarmuniji.Hastimalji,Hajarimalji,Samarthgurudeo,Ghevarchandji. Prakashgurudeo and so many other great souls.In the series Dhyanchandji and Dharmasajji Maharaj made a very good and major contribution. Aachyaraji of all branches added more to the interpretation of Aagam. Our great salutes are due to them for efforts

Acharyaji contributed to translate and interpret those Aagaams in Hindi and other local languages. It was a real tough task for them.
Even some scholar Shravaks also contributed to it. All such efforts made it available to us in present form. We are fortunate to have it.
Thus we owe a high obligations towards all these great and noble souls who helped us to have Jinwani through Aagams.

JAINISM- UNCOUNTABLE LOCATIONS OF BIRTHS AND RELATIVES------------!!!.

We have soft corner for place, spot and family - where we take birth.
Slowly we expand our horizon for district, state, country and so on. On basis of such geography we build various barrier circles around us.  One can be surprised ----if I quote some facts told by Bhagwan Mahaveer Swami to Bhagwan Gautam Swami in Bhagawati Sutra. 

During question answer session. Bhagwan told that there is no place in this Universe as tiny as atom or Parmanu ,where we all have not taken birth or died. Only birth pending for us is on Siddhasheela. Even we have been to Siddhasheela in form of it's earth components. For detailed study of both one can refer 12/06 of Bhagwati Sutra.

Similarly there is not a single soul with whom we have not entered  or established various relation such as -mother, father, son, daughter,
wife, husband, friend enemy and so on. To explain Mahaveer Swami  has given example of a home, where 1000 goats are being kept for 6 months .No part of such home can remain untouched by material of goats. Same is case with living things form might differ, but we have been to all places, with established relationship with each of soul.

 Bhagwan has given five reasons for such situation as follow------.
1-Permanent Universe.-Universe was, is and will be there for ever.
2-Nature of Universe being with no beginning and no end termed as Anaadi-Annant one. It was there, is there and will be there  full time.
3-Permanant nature of soul for all living one in one or another form.
4-Recurring Karmas done by soul causing new birth each time.
5- Long time taken for salvation. It cause, plenty of cycles of life and death, At every point  of birth, new set of souls are attached with us . Each time in course of living life we happened to create new relation either of love or hate, It adds more and more debts for each others.

It can be in form of air ,water, plant, fire and water, almost we have touched every corner of universe while living so many birth chains. 
If we believe and put our faith in this doctrine ,we can remove all barriers and can expand our vision. This can reduce the hate and we can move on the path of salvation.It can increase brotherhood among living things .Let us thanks Bhagwan for widening our horizon and bringing us close to each other. Just see to curtail such relations

JAINISM----- RAJUL NE CHHOD CHALYA NEM--------!!!-----SATI RAJIMATI-----!!!.

Can we believe that sound of pain by caged animals can make any groom rethink his wedding plans and returned unwed to become a
monk-? This is the  very interesting story of 22nd Thirthakar Pujya Arishtaneminathji Bhagwan as given in" Utradhyansutra " Aagam by Mahaveerswami. Let us look at this interesting story of Bhagwan.

Neminathji was son of king Samudravijay and queen Shivadevi of Shoryapur. His marriage was fixed with princess Rajimati daughter of king Ugrasen, The prince was on the way for marriage riding on  an elephant .Of course the prince was being followed by a huge mob.

 On his way to bridegroom's place he heard painful voices of caged birds and animals. On inquiry, he came to know that they were being kept in cages to be saluted after some time for food of guest. Hearing it the prince got very nervous and thought that his marriage will cost lives of so many innocent creatures who were not at fault. They will be punished for life term for taste of food. heavy price for wedding.

The prince gave up the marriage plans and became monk by taking Diksha. On hearing it princess Rajimati started crying. It is natural  for a young bride to see her all dreams shattered in this way. After some time she went for Darshan of Neninathji with Lordkrishna when they heard Neminathji  have obtained "Kewal dyan." The Lord  Shrikrishna asked Bhagwan the reason of so much love of Rajimati

for him. Bhagwan replied that He and Rajimati were together from last 8 life. Now time has come both shall meet again at Siddahshila.It gave Rajimati hint and she can see all 8 lives by "Jatisamarandyan".  Immediately she took Diksha and became Rajimatiati. Both of them attained salvation and reached to top place in universe Siddhasheela.

We are proud of such great legacy. Many Jain are pure vegetarian even ,they are not using roots like onions and potatoes. From this side there is strict follow up in the current birth for vegetarian food.
But we might have consumed meat in previous births. So one has to express sorry and do Aalochna for previous misdeeds in this regards in current life to reduce severity of such great sins of Pranatipaat.

Unfortunately I cannot say all Jain are vegetarians. When I- check across profiles on Matrimony sights, some parents proudly say for their child to be eggetarian, non-vegetarian and social drinker. At least they are bold enough to say the truth. They will certainly regret  missing Jain culture when they will look back at life in next birth.
Many others hide it causing divorces in society. Previously divorce was heard in exceptional cases. Now breaking of holy marriages or
engagements and divorces numbers is gradually increasing. That is a sorry state of affairs for society. Needs a urgent inner inspection.

We must give thought to such exceptional cases and try to bring them back in main stream. We might have obtained high education or influenced by high society or culture but if we forget  principle of Jainism i. e. Ahinsa, it will be great insult to our religion. So think a little bit and give up such bad habits if any, causing birth in hell.

One senior member of family must clear misconception of current
young generation that egg is vegetarian food .It is nothing but a one
substances equal to substance of abortion of a female lady. Let us
give weight to life than taste. This we can learn from Neminathji.

JAINISM--SHORT TERM PLANNING FOR SOUL----------!!!

Quite often we engage ourselves into planning. Planning involves vision and knowledge. Planning empowers us to face future in more organized way. We are aware of financial planning ,diet planning, time planning etc. The most desirous planning is for soul. We often miss it. If you take this particular blog rightly, it can help one better planning for your next birth and ultimate goal of salvation or Moksh.

Before that one must know the design of Kalchakra which means time cycle. Such cycle is mainly divided into two Kaal-Avasarpini and Uttasarpini Kaal. Each one consists of six periods as "Aara". 

We are living in Bharatsketra in fifth Aara of Avasarpini-known as Dushama Aara. The features of both these Kaal is that in Avasarpini Kaal things slowly goes to worst from good beginning and vice verse. Each Kaal is consisting of 6 Aaras .Their names are "Susham- Sushma, Sushma, Susham -dushma, Dusham- sushma. Dushma and Dusham- Dushma. Susham means fine and Dushma means sorrow. First four Aaras are of long period and not counted by numbers ,they are counted by concepts of Sagaropam and Palyopam. Only last two can be counted by numbers. They each consist of 21000 plain years.

As per Veer Samvat counting current year 2014 is equal to 2540 Veer Samvat because Mahaveer Swami got his last birth before 527 years of Christ year's start. Thus 5th balance period is 18460 years. Next 6th Aara is of 21000 years. After that chakra will change from last one heading to first. Next Uttasarpini Kaal 6th and 5th Aara will consist 42000 years . If we add  present balance of 18460+21000= 39460  years to it,the sum of most bad period will be  81460 , This total period will be very difficult of living . It will witness day by day increased sins and deteriorating moral values. One will be finding it difficult to live in such falling values of life with added sufferings.

In such a situation if we-- take birth in Deologa or heaven, we can avoid these bitter periods. In heaven, there is more life span, To build Deogati life term one has to now walk on path of Sayaam by doing Samaik, Pratikaman, Pratyakhan, Navkar jap and all other religious activities in current life as guided by Jinwani through "Aagam".

Thus we can park soul in better place than to bear  unbearable  life term on this earth, Just we park funds in bank fixed deposit when economy is passing through bad patch.Birth of heaven is just like.
Earlier we have seen if we are engaged  in  Samakit- Samyagdrishti
avoiding Mitthyatava- we can avoid Narakgati Aayushyabandh.
Human being related to Pandit and Balpandit category as a basic rule builds Deogati (Pandits can also get salvation from Mahavedeha.

 So please promise one self with better Sadhna. "I can avoid the pains of human life in days to come and will plan for Deologa for a short while till I get salvation can be a better short term planning.

JAINISM--- MOHNIYA KARMA OF MORADEVIMATA------!!!

If any mother is being asked whether she loves her son-----------? 
More than 90% answers will be positive, with remark-very much
,beyond words-,can not tell how much I love him, no words can express my love and so on countless versions for such feelings.--! 
Jainism terms this affection as Mohniya Karma most hard to clear.

It is the most king size obstacle for salvation .Without conquering it, salvation is not possible. For it Jainism quotes story of " Moradevi Mata." She was mother of First Thrithankara Pujya Shri Aadinath Bhagwan ,wife of king Nabhiraja .She was queen of Vanitanagari.

She loved Bhagwan beyond human limits. When Rishabhdeo took Diksha, she was very much disturbed. She can not forget her son in any circumstances. Day and night she missed him very much. She was waiting to meet him desperately with eye on door each second.

After attaining Kevaldyan Bhagwan visited the city, Mata Moradevi went for his Darshan on riding elephant followed by usual queen's glamour. Since Bhagwan has obtained Kevaldyan-he was knowing that his mother is on salvation path but her immense love for him is preventing her from getting salvation. He also knew that he will be
tool and responsible cause for his mother's salvation or Moksha.

So Bhagwan purposefully neglected her. It made mother to rethink her love for Bhagwan. Ultimately she realized that all relations are meaningless ,soul come alone and goes alone. the relations are pure temporary and one shall not be slave of it. In the process she could nullify her Mohniya karma and became Siddha with salvation within fraction of seconds. She achieved the true  last dream of all of us.

She set record for uncommon three things--She was first Siddha of this period with lady gender and in domestic dress. She does not have life span to become Sadhu and to take Diksha. Thus with her Sadhu Bhav ,she achieved Siddhi while riding on elephant only.
It is  being termed as Streelinga Siddha and Gruhasthlinga Siddha in 14/15 category of  various Siddha as given in Pratikaman.

 Just think if we can overcome such affection----------? Not now but believe that without conquering love and hate, salvation is never possible in any birth. Salute those souls who conquered it and became Sadhus in present birth----------------!!!. Let us try for it.

JAINISM-- THANKS GIVING -50TH BLOG----!!!

Jaijinendra friends. Looking back to  my fifty completed blogs, I feel surprised. I am not expert to know complete Jainism. The subject requires Kevaldyan, There must be backing of some divine force that made me to write it with my fraction of knowledge. I just tried to pour a mug of water fetched by me as per my capacity from the deep ocean of Aagama of Jinwani. One must say miracles do happens.

I am very thankful to Blogger to provide me the platform to share my views. Thanks is also due to Gurudeo who taught me something as to my capacity to share with others. The thanks giving can not be completed without mentioning viewers belonging from all over world covering India, Us ,Uk and so many other countries.

 I do not know their identity and names as available on Facebook but  surely all of them are desirous of salvation. God bless them all and continue to show them the path of salvation. There were no /less comments so far. I do not  expect like and other similar comments. But surely want to correct any misquote from my blogs if they are not matching with Aagaams instead of sector wise beliefs of Jains.
It is necessary to note that there is no greater sin than to advocate any wrong thing than what is preached by Bhagwan Mahaveerswami. 

I say sorry and put apology in advance for any such action if any.
 I also apologize if any of my blog hurt sentiments of readers unknowingly. With my human element in reproducing Jinawani, I might have committed mistakes .Khamatkhamna for it. The number of viewers so far is + 3900. If only 4 out of them can change and follow true Jainism my aim is  being met with highest success rate. 

Only one request I want to make--Please do not keep the Jainism

knowledge acquired by these blogs to your self only. Form discussion groups, and share study  with others. Since I believe one lamp can light so many other lamps. Let us travel the path of salvation all together.Thanks for your support and inspirations.

 Bye take care .Let us hope to meet soon on this Blog through next. 
Thanks again. With best wishes for your journey to salvation------!!!

JAINISM- CORRECT VISION AND FAITH----SAMYAGDRISHTI---------!!!

Hindi meaning of Drishti is vision and Samayga means correct. It also has second meaning being faith. In common parlance one can have power to see or blind. Samyagdrshti means to see all thing as they are. In physical world if one cannot see correctly is he called sick. A man victim of jaundice see every thing in a yellow shade. Same way a Mitthyadrishti soul see things in other way as told by Bhagwan Mahaveer. In spiritual term Drishti is of three types -Samayak, Mithya and Mishra ( combined ). This way faith can be classified. Let us study all the three features through this Blog.

Samayga Drishti believe and act for correct- knowledge. faith and conduct. Mithya category believe all false things. While mix one follow both suited to his needs. A soul touches Samakit in forth Gunstana after entering Shuklapakshi category after a long journey of soul in various Gati. Now he start to believe that only Bhagwan
Mahveer Swami has preached truth and correct ways for salvation.
     In Samakit soul never build hell Gati birth for next life.Such soul always get Vemanikdeo life. To get Samakit one needs to know differential science known as Bhed-Vidyana, Means he must know the difference between Jiva and Ajiva,Paap and Punya (living,non living,sins and good deeds.). Knowing it he keeps himself away from negative things to maximum extent.

Most dangerous is mix one. Unfortunately it applies to majority of us. Even knowing Jainism ,we turn to other beliefs and Gods on advice of Kuguru or astrologers. In time of distress, we do such all unwarranted worships ignoring our firm foundation with a eye on ending sufferings. Mind well it cannot be useful but harmful.
   We make convenient distance from Karma theory and forget that the undesired things is outcome of our own deeds and try to escape from it. It is well established fact that one has never won the battle against Karmas in three Lok and three Kaal (period). Karma follow the doer in all places. So taking shelter else where is useless.

 If we get surrounded by such intolerable situations we shall never give up and leave no stone upturned for such calamities. We forget that even the great souls like Mahaveer Bhagwan has to undergo all such trials before he achieved the ultimate salvation. He faced all adversities with calmness as he knew that no one can escape Karma. 

So let us remember the severity of Karmas can only be reduced by following Jainism. This is true only for Karmas other than one  of Nikachit Karmas, Nikachit Karma means Karma which  must be faced in same way of building it ,no escape, no dead end for such Karma built in harsh and severe ways. Great tolerance needed for it.
 So let us be firm in our beliefs of Jainism. We may face temporary set back but if we can keep our Samakit intact, it can help us for ever.

We must not forget that Samkit is a Gem. A small crack in Gem makes it to loose it's total value and worth. To keep Samakit intact do not fall into trap of Kuguru or Sampradaaywad, Study Jinawani through Aagaams and decide what is correct by yourself and follow it religiously. Just note correct vision is first condition for salvation.
