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.

DHARMA PRABHAVANA----JAINISM-----------!!!

Dharma Prabhavana means explaining Jainism to others,relatives and friends and helping them to follow it. In Antagarhasutra Shri Lord
Bhagwan Mahaveer quoted example of Lord Shrikrishna for same.

Shrikrishna came to know, how Dwarkanagari will come to end by Dwipayanrushi's anger and conflicts between Yadavs and alcohol.  Then Shrikrishna made public announcement that he will take total responsibility for all who want to take Diksha ( becoming monk and leaving  home).It is a classic and best example of Dharmaprbhavna.

With it, the lord built Trithankara Gotra and will be Thirthankara, once he completes present term. This type of Gotra's building is possible only while one is human being. It is a motivational case.

Thus one lamp can light thousands of lamps and can help others to remove the darkness of innocence for correct knowledge and faith,

We have limitations, may not to able do the things on such a large scale but we can definitely spread the knowledge, I know so many Shrawaks who go to remote villages in Paryushan and spread basic Jainism since Sadhus can not cover whole India due to limited in number. If you know Ptratikaman and 25 Bol you can also take such missions. Teaching ways of life to others based on Jainism can give you immense inner satisfaction. It is a kind of Dharprabhavana.

By great fortune, we got Jainism as our religion. It is our prime job to get acquainted with it and spread  knowledge with in our circle. One Jain Doctor familiar to me always make it a point to explain disadvantages of non-vegetarian food, drink. eggs to his patients.
In newspaper, we read so many great soul fighting for Goraksha (saving cows and other animals),ban on slaughter houses and meat export. What drive them for such mission  ?. Let us give a thought.

We can try to convince and if all goes positively ,it can change one's life. There is no need for marketing since challenge to faith is not easily accepted but one can definitely give it a try. Jainism does not believe in conversion We can first start to bring it to our own family members into practice of Jainism. We give them all possible help to spend time for it. It can definitely a good start and can offer peace.

I know so many Jain not knowing any thing except Navkarmantra.  It's a real tragedy. We must undertake to educate them for basics of Jainism. No human knows during these efforts when one can be awarded Thirthankar Gotra by doctrine of Karma. theory A small instruction to maid servant or Gardner to use minimum water is also Dharmaprabhawana. So many small occasions can be used for it.

I happened to know one Jain family in U.S. They are engaged in restaurant business being franchise of well known brand serving the vegetarian and non vegetarian food combined. I discussed with them if it is worth to ignore Bhagwan's teaching for earning money. They felt sorry and promised to rethink it. I do not know what was it's outcome subsequently. But one must be made aware of his mistakes.

So let us try it to a possible extent. We shall come out of differences with in us, awarded by different branches of beliefs of Jainism. But definitely, we can spread common and undisputed teachings of Shri
Lord Mahaveera  like Non -Violence and Nav-Tatva to our fellow brothers and sisters. It can make our life worthy living for a cause..
One may not have resources to build hospitals or schools but one
can definitely start "Jain Pathshala" to impart Jainism knowledge to
kids. The future generation can know the teachings of our Bhagwan
Mahaveer and definitely can put them on salvation path. In Derasar or Sthanak eating places we one can use water filters and sticky note

saying "Namo Siddanam".A small thing can help for" Pachkhan. In your area if a devotee Shawak is old and desirous of taking Santara one can help to listen "Jinwani" and Aaloyana. Your efforts can help him to have good sentiments at the last hours or time of departure.

JAINISM - 4-THIRTS-DUTY TOWARDS EACH OTHER---------------!!!

On attaining Kevaldyana Bhagwan Mahaveerswami formed present Thirth with four components Sadhu,Sadhvi,Shravak and Shravika. This Thirth will last for 21000 years. Bhagwan asked each one to take care of other one. Bhagwan advocated two ways of following His teaching- One is Sadhudharma (Anagar Dharma) and second one is Shravakdarma (Aagardarma) . Each one is free to follow most suited path as per choice without any compulsion to get Moksha.

Aagar means some liberty to suit individual capacity. No doubt the Sadhumarg brings you more closer to salvation than Shravakdharma. But after it's selection, one must be particular enough to follow the prescribed code of conduct for such selected path shown by Pujya Bhagwan Mahaveer. A slight deviation is not allowed for anybody.

-

A-Duties of Sadhus-------- They become monk for freedom of self soul. Beside that they have been entrusted with the work to show path of Bhagwan to all devotees without any bias or preferences, 

 B-Duties of Shravaks.

1-Attempt for self salvation--This is the major task of Shravaks. They shall attend lectures of Sadhus, understand, discuss and clear doubts if any and follow the path of Bhagwan Mahaveer.

 2-Responsibility towards Sadhus--- Bhagwan termed Shravak and Shravika as "Ammapiyro" i.e.mother and father of Sadhu.On taking Diksha- Sadhu leaves family, home, town and relatives has stepped towards unspecified, unknown destination for Atmasadhna.

To avoid closeness which may give birth to love and affection, Sadhu can not stay at a place for more than specified period as specified by Lord Mahaveer through Aagam. It a well thought order of Bhagwan.

   They keep moving just as moving water is cleaner than saturated one. On their next journey Shravaks have responsibility to ensure prescribed space, food and water and clothes for them. They shall accompany them in Gochari  (asking for food and clothes ) and Vihar  ( travel ) with all possible capacity and care for their safety.

-3- Care-- In our domestic life if just we catch fever due to cold or something else, there is  a large gathering of our well wishers and doctors, everybody is busy in offering best available solution. But Sadhus have disconnected all such relations. So Sharavak has to take care as if they are our own children, Medical emergency may arise due to accidents or other reasons. In such circumstances we have to take all maximum possible best care. Everyone knows that Sadhus do not keep currency notes, if we have Medical store or hospital free service is a must. We are fortunate to have the great  opportunity to serve these great souls on their way to salvation.

4-Watch the conduct---   Shravks have been entrusted with the task of watching and warning Sadhus for their exact conduct as specified by Bhagwan, When the initial enthusiasm of Diksha get reduced, few Sadhu may find it difficult to follow path of Bhagwan exactly on same line vigorously. The initial spirit get exhausted as time passes.

    Then with own convenience and interpretation they find out some liberal ways. In such cases Shravak must bring, it to their notice that this is not what Bhagwan has prescribed. Please do not take yourself to  path of Kusadhu category and keep distance from money.banking ,opposite sex and popular ways of fame and unwarranted  subjects like telling other philosophy, astrology and fund raising.

 Many times in a blind faith and respect for dress, we make our self victim of Personification. What ever a particular Sadhu does we take it for granted and allow him to carry on. But this way we are harming teaching of Bhagwan. A soldier in uniform must be different from civilian in any case. He must ensure best conduct in all circumstance

Thus Sadhu shows the salvation path to Shravak and Shravak help sadhu to keep his Sayaam intact--This is the harmony between two expected by Mahveer Bhagwan.Let us do that it is in mutual interest.

5-Helping co-brothers-One must help other Shrawaks to  progress

in religious activities. Grasping level differs for all. So we must

spread Jainism knowledge and help others to gain from it.If one is

financially sound ,he shall see how he can reduce miseries of co-

brothers in society. If one helps other to do religious activities,we

are indirectly serving Bhagwan Mahaveer---!!!-Let us give it a try.
