JAINISM-84 MILLIONS PLACES OF BIRTH--YONI----!!!

84 is current number of this blog. Incidentally  same number 84 is important one in Jainism. As in Pratikamansutra there is a chapter of "84 millions Jivyoni Khamatkhamna Path." Yoni means the place of probable birth. To understand it, we can divide the related theory in following 3 parts. This classification can give better idea of subject.

Kaay means a bunch or Samuh representing common broad features. 

Majority of souls starts their life journey from Tiriyanch Gati having Nigod nature ( tiny plant,single body accommodating many souls).In Jainism  for example a onion may be one from outside but many souls within.With eight Karmas mixed with Kashay, soul decides his next life. With invisible Karman (  Karmas bunch) and Tejas body--,

( Aura and digestion power ) soul enters mother's womb in prefixed Gati. It was shaped as per conduct of his immediate last birth where soul has built it's Gati, Naam, term, Jaati, Structure and experience. 

The soul gets food to build body provided by relationship entered by his mother and father, Some Gati ( called as Sammuchhim does not require  parents.) Above two invisible bodies remains with soul till salvation. Odarik, Vekriaya and Aaharak are other three bodies type.

1-Preliminary Division.-----In this category broad classification is available of 4 Yonis--Hell, Tiriyanch ( plant and animals ).Human and Deo or Heaven. There is more divisions based on organs one to five. It is termed as Ekendriya to Panchedriya ( one to five organs.).

2-Summary.All categories are summarized in 24 Dandak (division ) in Bhagwatisutra .The classification is based the on common feature.
They are1 place in any of 7 hell/Narki--- Rayanprabha to Ahesaptma 
+ 5 places of non-movable living (Sthawar- air, water, soil ,fire, tree )
+ 3 places in insufficient organs ( Vikalendriya ).
+ 1 place in Tiriyanch with five organs viz animals and birds.
+ 1 place in Human +13 places in Devata-heaven
 (10 Asurkumara+one Vyanvantar+1 Jyotishi+1 Vemanik=Devata).
Bhagwatisutra contains minute details of such Yonis and causes of birth in a particular Yoni. It can be an important study for readers.
3-Detailed Information.-7 lac ( Millions) earth +7 lac water+7 lac 
fire+7 lac air +10 lac special plants +14 lac ordinary plants +2 lac with two organs +2 lac with three organs +2 lac four organs +4 lac hell+ 4 lac heaven+4 lac Tiriyanch Panchedriya+14 lac human in all total 84 millions birth places. We had taken birth in most places. The two class of Vanaspatikaay is Pratek and Sadharan. Pratek mean one and separate body while in later many souls are combined in one.   

Unfortunately Abhavi  (not eligible for salvation) souls may pass through all these Yonis  one after another .While Bhavi souls may need not pass through all these Yonis continuously. Depending upon his built Karmas and Purushartha (efforts) to cut Karma ,he will get salvation. Provided he cuts off all positive and negative Karmas.Soul have 1 to 5 organs. Their classification is based on organs. Ekendray has only body, it is added by taste in Beindyiya, next addition is for    nose then eye and last it is  ears. Tree, shell. ant, butterfly and human are the examples for souls from one to five organs.     

All births and deaths causes so much pain and sufferings. One can be surprised to note that in each category, we have completed numerous birth and death cycles. It is really a surprising and alarming truth.
Let us try to minimize such cycles by adopting principles of Jainism and walking on road of Bhagwan Mahaveer. Only with Moksha or
salvation we can give full stop to shunting between all those places. One can also refer 25-Twenty five Bol for a study it all at a glance.

JAINISM--SUFFERINGS AND IT'S EFFECTS ON KARMAS-------!!!

Whether more sufferings causes more and quick Nirjara (Reduction in accumulated Karmas ) ? a question arises in mind if one takes up the study of Karmasiddhanta of Jainism. Bhagwan Mahaveerswami has provided the related guidelines in 06/01 chapter Bhagwatisutra under the heading Vedana and Nirjara. Really very useful to study it. 
    To summaries the guidance, one can say that the main criteria is with which frame of mind Karmas were built and how they are being faced finalizes the clearance of Karmas. Let us study same as follow.

 First time attracting Karma is called Chay ( Bandh).Repeatedly

attracting same Karma is called Upachay (addition and growth) or making them Nikachit. To explain it ,Bhagwan has given example of needles. If loose needles are tagged with a ordinary band-it is Chay. Easy to unfasten. If they are fastened with iron wire and given heat, they will melt and take shape of iron ball -making, then difficult to bring  them back to original form. This is case  falling in Nikachit Karmas category. Needless to say they are impossible to clear

Bhagwan also gave  more examples of burning / cutting Karmas by rigorous religion activities. He gave examples of a water drop, If it is put on hot plate immediately it vanishes. In second example to it  Bhagwan illustrated a bunch of dry grass put into fire. It will get burn soon /immediately compared to wet bunch. In third example ,he quoted a piece of used cloth can be cleaned easily compared to cloth dipped into furnace oil and offered for cleaning it is too difficult for cleaning. Naturally heavy Karmas built with severity need more time

Like wise Karmas can be reduced if our sufferings is with peace and calm feelings that -let me repay for my mistakes because only my Karmas are able to punish me. The Karmas are too hard task master they have not spared even great souls like Mahaveer Bhagwan, then how can I expect them sparing me. Let me repay it as currently I can repay it with ease than in old age. Then I can enjoy real happiness.

If the feeling is lacking then more sufferings can not ensure needed Nirjara or reduction of accumulated Karmas. Such frustration can build new Karmas. One needs to avoid it with Jainism guidance.
Bhagwan has given four categories of sufferings and it's result.
1-Monks undergoing Pratima------More sufferings-----More Nirjara.
2-6th and 7th hell residing souls---More sufferings-----Less Nirjara.
3-Monks who attains 13th Gunsthana ( Shaileshi position )---Low sufferings but more Nirjara as of Gajasukumalji" Shrikishna brother.

4-Gods residing in Annutropatikviman-Low- sufferings and Nirjara 
Thus even going to hell and facing lot of sufferings will not ensure clearance of all bad Karmas. For it- full occupancy in religious good activities while in human form is most desirable form. Facing those
Karmas which have entered into Bhadha-Kaal from Abhadha- Kal  
( opened up to give results) bravely can reduce it's severity. Let us wake up and go for reduction of Karmas as guided by Bhagwan. Less tension. more coolness is the key for positive results and the
eagerness  and anxiety to repay quickly can help greatly.

JAINISM--MAXIMUM HUMAN CAPACITY----PURUSHARTHA-------!!!!

It is also called as Samyak Parakram in Jainism. Purushartha can be classified in four categories--Artha ( living hood, finance),Kamma 
( relations) ,Religion (Dharma) and Salvation (Moksha).Most times we are engaged in first two options and ignore last two the most needed one due to our ignorance. Now let us have study for it .It is
very interesting to look at life of  Pujya mahaveerswami. In his entire

total period of twelve and half year of "Sadhna",he had food only for 349 days. He kept fast for approximate 4213 days. He termed Tap
fast as a tool of fire to burn iron rod of negative layers of Karma.
Keeping fast and taking Pachkhans are part of human efforts only.
We have long list of difficult Pachkahns. We have to overcome them.

 Human soul is constantly attracting 7 particles of Karmas with it's 148 divisions. Balance one i.e. Aayushya or life karma is attracted only once in the particular life based on summary of seven Karmas.
Karma theory passes through four stages-Bandh  (attracting),Vedan ( experience). Nirjara (cleaning) and salvation.( totally clear- nil.).
With transactions of mind, speech and body mixed with four bad

Kashay(anger, Kama .greed and cheating)Karma particles are being attached  soul with four features i.e.  Prakruti ( type ).Pradesh means 
( quantum ),Anubhag (severity)  Sthithi (period).Karma particles are called as Karmadalik and Structural design of such particles is called Karmanishek. Karma can be cleared with Purushartha.

When Karma particles start moving to give the results after passive period, it is known Udaya Dasha. It is necessary to study whether  unmoved Karmas remains there for ever or some thing can be done to reduce it's negativity before they set to give results. Such efforts being termed as"Udirana "). It is applicable for passive Karmas.
Now question arises if nature of built Karmas can be changed or

not. One may be unaware while building it but later on when he gets
possession of knowledge of Jainism- he may wish to change it.
In Bhagwatisutra 01/01 Shatak Mahaveer Bhagwan has given the answer under chapter "Chalmane Chaliye".Bhagwan inform Guru Guatamswami that the nature of other than Nikachit Karma can be changed with Udirana. The other stages of reducing severity are
Prahan ( Girana),Chedan (reducing period),Bhedan (to change the severity) and burning (Jalana with Dyan ) and Sankraman by Tap. 
( transformation). Here he underlined importance of Purushartha

This is a ray of hope. With layers of unawareness we might have built bad Karmas knowingly or unknowingly. But if we can try to improve our level of knowledge with study of Jainism. Then we can change nature of Karmas by adopting various measures of efforts i. e Purushartha .It consist all religious activities like fast, Samaik added
by Pratikaman, Gurudarshan, Swadhaya,Aalochana and others. With determination and willpower  it is possible to change Karmas. Just I remember a para from Hindi Shayari collection from my youthdays,
Nakuda means sailor and Langer means parking rope of a boat.)

Yesterday I read  a news that one ticket collector throw away young woman from moving train and a young couple was killed for inter-caste marriage. Such are Nikachit Karmas if they have been really built in the way reported ,then they can never be changed and has to be faced with same or severe consequences in the time to come.. 
Human efforts or Purushartha can be done in following suggested ways to clear Karmas. For all --73 options viewers can refer 29th chapter of Uttradhyan Sutra as advocated by Bhagwan Mahaveeraa himself. It is titled as "Samyag Parakrama",

1-The most powerful tool to cut Karmas is Swadhay ( Reading Jain Aagams ),Tap ( fast ) and mediation. But if found difficult one can move with following easier options discussed herewith.
2-In second category one can have -Sanwar (staying away from sins from 1 to 48 minutes or more.),Samaik. Pratikaman. Poshudh and Pratyakhan (vows to restrict consumption),control over 5 organs. Aaloyana .Khamatkhamna or apology and Santhara wish etc. 
3-In third category one can proceed with charity, Bramcharya .good wishes for all, service to needy, Three Manorath, taking 14 Niyams Gurudarshan. attending their lectures and knowing nine Tatvas        
Nothing is impossible with reference to human capacity. Only thing that is needed is self realization and determination. So just realize -yes I have committed sins and now time has come to write it off-!!!.

JAINISM--THE COMPLETE KNOWLEDGE----KEWALDHYANA-----!!!---------PART-1.

In Nandisutra Bhagwan has given 5 types of knowledge-Matidyan
 ( inherited intelligence),Shrutdyan (hearing),Avadhidyan (knowing limited area),Maanprayadyan (knowing happening in others mind) and Kevaldyan. ( complete knowledge combines all 4 knowledges.
First  two knowledge are obtained by mind and five organs. Balance  three knowledge are obtained with power of soul.

Kevaldyan is highest level of knowledge which a soul can obtain. Kevaldyan as known as omniscience, covers full knowledge of universe and it's contents for all times----past, present and future.     Nothing remains to be known after soul obtains Kevaldyan. Once it is obtained it remains with soul for ever. It has no barriers of time, space, matter or energy, It never vanishes once it is being achieving.

In bhagwatisutra 09/32 Bhagwan Mahaveerswami has clarified  the unrestricted area of Kevaldyana to Gangeya Angar. There are total 31 types of coverage of 8 Karmas. When a soul nullify five coverage of knowledge and nine layers for faith he obtains great Kevaldyan.
Knowledge power enable to know everything and faith power enable to see every related thing for all times of all living soul of all places.

Once he clears layers four of Aayushya and  five layers of Antaray-
(probationary) and eight of balance 4 Karmas soul attains liberation.
 In Bhagwatisutra 08/02 Bhagwan has informed Gurugautamswami that an ordinary human cannot know following ten things. Only
Kevaldyani can know it through their power of Kewaldyan Darshan. 
They are 1-Dharmastikaay 2-Adharmastikaay,3-Aakashtikaay-------
4-soul without body 5-Parmanupudgal, 6.-word.7-smell 8-----air.
9-whether the soul will end all sufferings or not and-10-whether the soul will obtain salvation Moksha or not.

 Kevalibhagwan see the complete universe as a lotus in hand ,termed in Hindi as " Hasta-kamalavat". Such vast ambit they get from power  of Kewaldyan. Truth is always one and same, hence all Kewali's knowledge is same and uniform at any given point of time.

Modern Science has agreed the capacity of human brain. As per study so far it has been revealed that a human brain consist of one billion neurons. Each neuron forms 1000 connection with other.  Such mufti-connectivity creates more than a trillion connections. It amounts to total memory storage capacity of a million gigabytes,
Still capacity of brain is to be fully established for modern science.
Even science is backing such highest level of knowledge storage in a

single brain. Present human race is very smart. They have reduced burden on single brain by dividing knowledge in 3 main steams-science, arts and commerce ,Further divided it, into so many sub branches so that one can acquire expert knowledge in particular branch only without using total knowledge available. More over the acquisition of knowledge is money oriented purpose instead of soul searching one .Only Jainism by Kewali can give true knowledge. 

All Jain Trithankars,Arihantbhagwan and kevalies has obtained this Kevaldyan, Obtaining Kevaldyan is a precondition for salvation.
Bhagwan Mahveerswami obtained Kevaldyana by vigorous Tap. Dyan and mediation with fast for continuous period of 12.50 years.
 After getting it. He showed ways to human race to remove causes of  all sufferings. If anybody wants proof of His Kevaldyana one can have deep study as a sample case from Aagam Bhagwatisutra.

He can vouch for number of subjects Bhagwan has explained from anatomy. space. spirituality, geography, physics to almost every other branch of current knowledge. Just imagine state of sources of knowledge available before approx. 2600 years ago. No books ,no universities, no guide, no library, no telescope still how Bhagwan can tell all composition of universe. It is highly impossible without power of soul .Good news to share that we all as Bhavi soul will
definitely acquire Kewaldyan.Time may differ as per our devotion.

 Every follower of Jainism is proud of such great philosopher, guide and mentor in form of Mahaveer Bhagwan and other noble souls who got this unique Kewaldyan, Let us pray to have this type of knowledge soon. No doubt we have to work hard for it.

JAI JINENDRA-JAI KEVALDYANI-JAI MAHAVEER--------!!!.

JAINISM-WITH LIGHT WEIGHT-LET THE SOUL FLY HIGH-------!!!

In real terms soul is weight less and in invisible form. The unique Jivadraya in soul is color less, smell less, tasteless and touch less. In Bhagwatisutra 1/09 and 12/02 Bhagwan Mahaveerswami has given explanation  concept of weight to Gutamswamiji + Jayantishrawikaji
Bhagwan has clarified that weight is in four forms. Those four types are---Guru  (heavy-stone), Laghu ( light- cotton ), Gurulaghu (air) and Agurulaghu (sky).Bhagwan told that soul gets heavier if one is engaged in eighteen sins. All  18 sins add to it's weight until cleared.

On the other hand if soul is retired from all 18 sins and is engaged in Sanwar and Nirjara soul gets lighter and lighter from it's heaviness.
Sanwar means distance from sin and Nirjara means cutting Karma by fast and Swadhya. With good deed or Punya one gets more good  and favorable conditions to reduce the burden on soul. More the light weight soul can reach out to more higher destinations up to salvation 

If  soul is totally free from all coverings of 8 Karmas, it can reach the highest ever destination of Siddhshil and get salvation. Once devotee gets salvation, the soul remains there for ever and stops cycles of life and death through various Gatis. No further birth is needed for him.
We all living ones are constantly building Aanupurvinaam Karma.

The function of this Karma is to take the soul to his  pre-determined destination as supported by balance of Karmas. As such heavier soul is going to one of seven hell or Narki. Depending upon the weight soul can go to Thirchalog or Deolok (12), or may go to upside to the 
Navgrevehak. Anudesh (9) or Anuttarviman (5). For Siddhasheela  this help is not required In fraction of seconds after completing the present life the light soul itself reaches the destination of Moksha.

 In 01/06 Shatak Bhagwan has given example of a ship floating in water. Bhagwan said if holes are made in ship then water will creep in adding to weight of ship. In that case sinking of ship will be most natural result. Mahaveer swami gave second example for wood pot,
Same is case with wooden pot. If it is plain it will float in water but if it is painted with eight layers of Karmas, it will sink definitely.

Thus light soul is a must for higher Gatis. If one desires to  have got
reduced weight, he has to remain absent from 18 sins and keep him-
self engaged in Samaik, Pratikaman, fast and adopt Sanwar like life style. Such behavior ensures no harm to other living things and allow them natural living. As a result soul gets lighter and nil weight gain.
In physical term as Doctors prescribe weight reduction theory of  the

exercise and diet control-in the same way Bhagwan has specified Jinwani in spiritual terms to reduce burden of 18 sins over our soul.

All desirous of salvation has to follow preaching of Bhagwan Shri Mahaveer to get salvation Zero balance of sins and good deeds can ensure salvation immediately. Now let us firmly determine not to add to existing burden and do our best to reduce existing weight of soul.
