PREGNANCY AND JAINISM---3--SHAPING KID'S FUTURE.

Friends. I happened to meet Gurudeo and attend his lecture while on a personal tour. As per information shared by local city organization
the lecture was specially arranged for "Jain Bahu Mandal (It means
daughter in laws club).One of my earlier blogs in two parts titled to
be "Pregnancy and Jainism" is popular with readers and this subject
is based on similar lines, hence sharing with all of my blog readers.

 "Sisters you all gathered here for a noble objective. Mother is every thing to kid. she is local God for kid in real sense. Herewith- I wish
to share with you kid's upbringing care notes. Hopefully it can help.
If the lecture is being absorbed with proper spirit and sincerity, we 
can gift a good devotee to Jainism and better citizen to country ,The

current wind generated in west and blowing and spreading in east 
has hit our legacy, heritage and culture. Hope soon you will realize. 
Lecture lasted for one and half hour, So I am cutting it points wise.
1.-For all round development of any kid one to five year span is very
very crucial. This period is being blessed with kid's sharp memory
and keen observations. So be careful for what you select him to teach
For it you have to make sacrifices, cut on your parties and social
gathering and make self updated for Jainism and Aagam's study.

2.-Once kid starts to speak, within six month try to teach him noble 
Navkar Mantra. This is our most auspicious best foundation for him.

3.When kid completes his third year of age. he is in the position to
remember. Try him to learn names of great 24 Thirthankars, Loggas.
Namothunam. 18 sins, nine Punya and Manglik. You must aim to 
impart him training of Samaik and Pratikaman by end of fifth year.

4.- Kids are too curious in this particular age to know what is in sky, what is in temple. how he came to your particular house, where God lives and what work he does and so many questions on similar lines. 
To pacify his queries ,do not give him false answers. Your answers
 must be based on Jainism study. It can give him correct knowledge.

To stop him from crying do not generate fear of police, thief, devil
 and bad persons. It can make him weak. Teach him power of truth.
5.-To save own time ,many mothers now allow kids to watch mobiles
and television. This is the most dangerous option. Once innocent kid
falls in this trap, it will be difficult to bring him back from these bad,
false and dream world. It take him to fictitious world. It can make his
personality as a self centered one without caring and listening others.

6.-With reduction in joint families and due to moving up to distant
places from home for job or study purpose, the old days of grandma and grandpa are vanishing fast. Now there are no genuine story
tellers. Hence mother shall visit Jain library and be acquainted with
our glorious past. She must replace all fairy and other stories with
Jainism based story. One can use following subjects as stories.

7.A.-life of Mahaveer Bhagwan, his youth, his leaving empire
to become monk, his rigorous Tap, his sufferings, his obtaining
Kewaldyan, his teachings and finally obtaining Nirvana or Moksha.
B-Mahasatiji Chandanbalaji-She  was first lady disciple of Bhagwan.

C.-Bhagwan's teaching to " Chandakaushik " serpent .
D.-Arjunmali and his transformation from serial killer---"Antagarh".
E.-Rishabhdeo Bhagwan and Moradevi Mata. Their love, affection. 
F.-Bahubali, King Bharat and sisters Bramiji and Sundariji.
G-.Gajsukumalji and his unique achievements in a single day.

H. Aristanemiji not marrying Rajimatiji to avoid killings of animal.
I. -Dharmaruchi Angar and ants .One can have treasure of stories from Aagam-"Dyanta Dharma Katha." Aagams are treasure for us. 
Sisters let me conclude. Do not allow your kids to be weak and
easily take over target of bad habits. If mother gifts him strong
foundation of spirituality based on Jainism.no force on the earth can

shatter him. Brief him Karma theory slowly and make him careful
for all of his actions. Every mother is serious about his study and
personality development. Very few mothers realize the importance of religious study. It is our real roots. Only it has power to offer your

kid inner peace and stability of mind in adverse conditions. Father of kid can also contribute to the process in a great extent. Just realize the changing period and entry of extreme and supremacy feeling overtaking in society. We need to preserve our Jainatava otherwise after 25 years todays kids will be soft targets of  conversion to other easy religion .Kids not doing any Jain activity can be soft target. We should not loose our legacy of Bhagwan Mahaveer Swami,  

With the end of lecture unknowingly my eyes were filled with tears
unknowingly with memories of my departed mother. She was not a
too literate in traditional sense of education. But what she taught me for Jainism was unique. It provided me shelter in each crisis. It acts
 as a protective shield even after mother gone for ever for next life.
