JAINISM----A KIND AND SOFT HEARTED SOUL-----MAHAVEERSWAMI-----!!!,

Friends, I present herewith Guru Deo's lecture. He was addressing at a kid's camp organized for them to learn Puchisunam Stotra. He paused to explain the word "Khedanay" in second stanza. It means a

soul who deeply feels the pain for others, In related process he thinks ways which can remove their root cause of sufferings. Mahaveer Swamiji was such a  great and noble soul. We all are proud of our leader.

He used his 'Kewaldyan " to preach conduct ways which has power to remove all all of sufferings of living souls. He concluded that birth-- is basic root cause of all the sufferings. Once we are able to burn seeds of birth then we all can automatically remove sufferings of life and death. As a result the free soul can reach top world and stay there forever. It is but
natural when a Bhavi  and soft hearted soul happen to see killing of hen or ship at a butcher shop and feel pain and sorry for them. But just imagine a  high quality of a soul when he feel pain for smallest living soul like ant, flower, a drop of water or plant.
Mahaveer was name of such kind and soft hearted noble soul. Out of immense respect and affection of all living soul-He came out of his unique theory of Non-violence. He insisted that violence can be even
by mind or speech also together with physical body. He realized that no one like to be troubled or  to get hurt only because he/ she is weak or less fortunate.
In the universe being dominated by self centered or selfish masses. He pioneered theory of Live and let live and told with a harmony with all species we all can live happy and peaceful life. Sadly we witness
a sad state of worldly affairs where the weaker are being subjected to all evil by mighty rulers. We can do little about it as majority may not be in mood to listen to Bhagwan's teachings as it may not bring them immediate material gains. But as a Jain you as a young bearer of Bhagwan's legacy try to spread
his message to the possible extent. Puchisunam is composed by present siddha "Sudharmaswami" in praise of Bhagwan. Stotra's learning and frequent recitation will offer you immense joy and happiness throughout your life  "Gurudeo ended his lecture. A small booklet of "Puchisunam" was distributed by organizers to help kids for learning. Let us learn it.

JAINISM----BUILDING "THIRTHANKAR NAAM KARMA------!!!.--PART-1.

Friends all of eight Karmas lay foundation of our next life. It is being affirmed by Bhagwan Mahaveer in Bhagwatiji. Out of 148  different Karma Prakrurti 93 sections are of "Naam Karma. A soul's personality is being decided by it. To become "Kewali" is a distant dream of all of Jain devotees. On top of it if one can build the unique "Thirthankar" Naam Karma it can be soul's rarest of it's achievement

then nothing in the universe can match this. Both these status possess "Kewaldyan and Kewaldarchan. Thirthankar Bhagwan got additional chance to form "Thirth" with four pillars. It is too unique position to be in only 24 Thirthankar in a single Aara in Bharat and Eirawat and 160 or 170 in all Dhaidwipa. Jain Aagams set out 20 tool to build it.
We will study them briefly in this Blog. Let us see if we can practice 1- Following orders ,Chitan and Puja of virtues ofArihant Bhagwan.  Navkar, Loggas, Namostunam and Puchisunam are best for praise. 2.-Praising Siddha Bhagwan and Dyan ,Chintain for their virtues.

JAINISM------ADYNAN AND KEWALDYAN-----!!!.

In first lecture of  current Chaturmas by Gurudeo two lines made me to think and express it through this Blog. He said irrespective of---- what we believe level of current  human knowledge is too low. It is

just as a drop of water in beak of a sparrow. While" Kewaldyan " is capable to know each and every minute details of living or non living covering all of the three period. As such Kewaldyan is a tool of hope

for who are anxious to know mystery of  human lives and existence. I have no doubt about both of his these two statements. I just started to chalk out things we do not know and wish to know, While giving it a thought, I felt ashamed for limitation of knowledge, If I exclude from it my superficial knowledge obtained through study of Jainism -then the result are too poor. Souls in Maha-Vidheha Khetra are too fortunate and luckyto have always opportunity to obtain Kewaldyan. 
We in Bharat and Eirawat get such chances only in third and fourth
Aaras .I just though to list out things I wish to know. In general we as human are so preoccupied with our routine duties and activities few of us can be able to give it a thought. Looking back to my point I am trilled with mysteries of galaxies and universe. The never ending sky deep oceans and seas .mountains, snow clad mountains, forests.
deserts. I wish to know about biggest surprise sun ,moon and stars.
Rains, clouds rainbows, volcano ,earthquake also rose my curiosity to know. A small ant, colors of peacock and butterfly, the cuckoo's voice. all birds and animal together with beautiful roses continue to carry on my anxiety. Miracles of human body power of seed to turn into huge tree all are so fascinating Overall great mystery behind all life and death, difference in IQ levels of human I wish I could know. 
Mahaveerswami assured salvation to all Bhavi souls. Moksha can be possible only after getting Kewaldyan and Kewaldarshan. As such as Gurudeo said there is hope let us wait for the golden day for all of us when we can be blessed with the unique treasure of Kewaldyan. For
it no doubt the road is difficult and hard. It needs absolute faith on Jinwani, Dikha, fast Nirjara and Sayam. Let us all aim and do it.

JAINISM-----HOLY CHATURMAS-----2024----!!!.

The great period which assist us to accumulate Punya and cut off the bad Karmas is arriving . Here's the timetable for Jain Chaturmas 2024. 1- Holy Chaturmas starts on --20/07/2024 to 15-11-2024. This table is for Stankaswasi. Please adjust as per own branch.).

1.-Paryushan starts on 01/09/2024 ends on  day 08-09-2024
2.-Sawastari falls due on Paryurshan end day being 08/09/2024 
3.-Mahaveer Bhagwan Nirwan day and Dipwali due on 01/11/2024. Shrawaks can plan so many things to do and learn, Even main aim can be to impart basic Jainism knowledge to Jain kids to ensure a strong foundation for them. Learning Samaik, Pratikaman, Puchisunam and .taking various Pachkhans reading 32 Aagams can
be planned. Getting Jainism "Sankars "to kids can ensure sin free future life for them. It can help all of them to shape up Conscience or "Vivek" which can prevent them from entry to sins world. In eight days of "Paryusan Parva" one need not to miss "Antagarhasutra"
the stories of 90 noble souls who attamed Moksha. There you will meet Gajsukumal ji, Arjun Mali, Shrikrishna and Evantakumar. At the same time Fast, Aalochana. Pratikaman and Khamatkhamna on day of "Sawastari is must for every Jain Bhagwan has underlined the
relation of Sawastari day and "Aayushya-Bandha" chances for next life. All of these four months offer maximum opportunity of Karma Nirjara and Sanwar for our soul. Wish all of us shall use it wisely. One can also offer his services for wellbeing of Sant and Satiyaji who are residing in their area together with devotees for Darshan. All such deeds are tools of Dharma -Prabhavana and  great Punya.Four months gives us a chance to make our Samkit---- pure and strong by Dhrma-Shrawan with attending Gurudeo's lecture at a location of our
choice.We all knew Samkit is a precondition for getting salvation. To check degree of Samkit one need to make  a self review whenever possible. Just ask self--  If my fear for sins and Mittyatva reduced ? -If my faith in Arihant and Siddha Bhagwan has shaken as they do not offer me domestic help and material pleasure ?If my faith started to bend toward other God and so called semi God or saints. With  such constant review of self conduct during Chaturmas we all can restore our Samkit if shaken anyway. Chaturmas help for such correction.

JAINISM---VARSHI-TAP---ANUMODANA----!!!.

 Friends' tomorrow will be marked as "Akshay-Tritiya". It is a most auspicious day for Jains. Lacs of Jain devotees will be--- completing their alternate day Varshitap fast of Vaas, Aayabil or Ekasan. The day

"Vaishak Sudi Trutiya carry a significant importance. On the same day our first  "Thirthankar Bhagwan Rishabh Deo" has done his first "Parna" with cane juice offered by grandson "Shreyansh Kumarji".

To respect his great Tap and offer "Anumodana" for his unique and noble deed. A huge gathering for "Parna" of Tapasviji and their well-wishers can be seen at " Palitana" and other holy places of worship. "Anumodana" is a unique way to support the Tap. It implies that- I appreciate from my the bottom of heart your Tap . Certainly, it is as
per guidance of Bhagwan and certainly will cut your Karmas and put you on fast track of Mokha. I wish-- I could gather courage like you and can able to win over my Rasnendriy to do similar tap in the near future. In 12 tools of "Nirjara" fast is a most powerful and effective
tool. It can burn major misdeeds as fire burns bundles of-- dry grass. Tap help us to shed our body related affection and love. It also shows us that soul with its determination can give up food. drinks and--- all other material pleasure tools considered to be unavoidable. It helps to
establish that soul is a real master. With good Guru Vachan it can be motivated to undertake most difficult Tap as those Varshitaps. To go for Pachkhan of Varshitap needs a strong willpower. Full 13 months following diet regulations for all alternate days is not a simple task.
Only souls who have cut substantial layers of Charitrya-- Mohniya
Karma can dare and do such vigorous Tap.  It can be undertaken only by brave souls. At least we can offer all such souls a big and heartfelt Anumodana. Please join me for our most needed religious duty. Say Anumodana--Anumodana Barmabar-------Anumodana--Barmbar-!!!.
