JAINISM--MOVING BACK TO ORIGINAL FORM OF SOUL------!!!

I attended lecture of Gurudeo after a long gap. But what I heard was an eye opener hence sharing through this blog. Gurudeo asked the listeners what can happen to the water kept in a small mug in outer sunlight for a long time. As you have rightly pointed out it will get evaporated with passage of  due time. It is a natural and known result
Similarly have you analyzed how a kids qualities get changed.? He answered the question himself. The virtues of a kid like innocence,
truth, purity ,forgiveness and smile with passing of time replaced by smartness, greed, fear and logical thinking due to his up bringing , surroundings and education. Basically child know no fear, and all other bad points. We introduce him to such things by story telling.


We as a parent do not know the differential science ( Bhed-Vigdyan) which differentiate body and soul. If we can protect our soul from heat of 18 sins and 8 Karmas, we can preserve the purity of our soul.

Here we forget proper spiritual education Rich kid gets education to safeguard and increase wealth while poor kid gets education to earn money and material pleasure. In the process we chase material things and ignore spiritual needs which only can end misery of living .Soul original virtues are a near match to Siddha Parmatma Samyak Dyan, Darshan and Upyog. We while living life and earning money moves towards wrong qualities and spoil purity of our soul unknowingly.
Out of eight souls--every body have Dravaatama( unique invisible element allowing continuation of current life )Darshanatama(Faith) and Uapayogatama (Utilization power of organs and mind) Remaining five souls namely--Kashay (greed, self respect,anger and cheating),Yog(actual use of mind, speech and body),knowledge, character, Virya  Atama ( utilization of maximum human capacity) can be increased, decreased or nullified with positive human efforts.
Only one soul component i.e. Kashay is negative. If we use all other components positively. we can keep original virtues of a kid and self intact. It can help us early in reaching salvation our last destination.
Mahaveer Bhagwan with higher human capacity conquered all evils of soul that is the reason, he could forgive snake Chandkoshik and his own student Goshalak who made hard attempts on his life. 
Thus if can lit six components of soul in positive and correct ways, following Jainism we can march on the path of salvation
I regretted so many lectures of Gurudeo missed by me, I missed such a simple way to introspective our own soul and it's unlimited powers.
He hinted the great task of cleaning soul having so many layers of past births sins and wrong knowledge. The prime task is to bring soul to original state from darkness to light as done by Pujya Arjunmali.
 Let us move soul to (Swabhava) from changed one (Vibhava).

JAINISM-LIFE OF MAHAVEER BHAGWAN----!!!

"If the world can follow His teaching ,there can be heaven on earth"  I was listening to speaker during eight days celebration of Mahaveer Jayanti following due on 2nd April 2015.Since it sounded interesting and based on study, I continued listening carefully. The speech  being summarized on following lines. For blog readers it can be interesting
The period of this great soul was B.C.527 To B.C.599. He took birth in Kundalpur with Lord Siddarth and Queen Trishalamata as parents on Chaitra Shukla Teras .He got salvation in Pawapuri on day Kartik Amayasya around age of approximate 72 years. Till his last breath he was delivering lecture on 36th chapter of Sutra " Uttardyansutra."'
He obtained special full knowledge known as 'Kevaldyan" which enable to know all things for past, present and future. It is result of his vigorous Tap and mediation. He guided mankind through it to remove their sufferings and achieve salvation following his teaching.
 This great soul is being remembered even today not for his physical strength or wealth or power but for his conquering evils of soul such as love, hate, lack of true knowledge and others similar one. The three most important principle he laid down for entire mankind  are
Non-violence, Anekantwad (multi opinions) and simple living based on Ahinsa, His other principles are-Truth, Non-theft, Bramacharya and Non-possession. It can be used as tools to control desires of soul. He showed the correct path to mankind with out any self interest since he is Vitraagi- ( No love or hate) who cut off Mohniya karma.

 Non-violence means not to harm any living soul by mind, body and speech. Anekantwad means there can be more ways of believing  and expressing the truth since human beings are not capable of knowing full truth all the time. It values all opinions to avoid rising conflicts..
It implies that we shall respect views of others though may not be exactly matching with our own perceptions. It teaches the theory of coexistence. This principle is very much needed to ensure our own existence in current boiling time  as chaos depicted in image given.
If we look at the world  and observe so many wars are going on the basis of faith, regions, territory with a motive to establish self superiority. We refuse to believe entire human race to be of one category. We also refuse the right of every one to live his life on his
own terms. We want every one to be molded in our own model.
What I say is the only and only truth is current wrong philosophy, 
Territory disputes are  apparent cause while dumping of weapons, eye on natural resources, expanding empire and ego are the hidden reasons. If we study history of any particular border over a period of 500 years, it  keep changing with earth- quakes ,land sliding ,volcano ,sea-storm. cloud busting and so many other natural calamities. So many disputes can be solved with  understanding but we do not like to listen the views which is different from own thinking, view and
version. That is the root cause of current unrest seen every where.
  It results into non violence and disturb peace of the entire world. It is the fact that if all nations stop military weapons spending for a year entire poverty of the world can be removed, I do not think an expert is required to back this fact. The cut throat competition to stay ahead of others in form of military strength is consuming large part of earnings of hard work of human forces. It needs a urgent thought.
It may be too late when the human realizes that it can live with harmony only with path shown by Lord Mahaveera or else can continue to walk on path of self destruction with chaos and much sacrifice of number of innocent human lives on daily routine basis.
We are fortunate enough to have this immortal light spread by the great soul for the benefit of entire living ones. We can not afford to miss it even though we may follow different faiths of various branch.
At the end I congratulated the speaker for his contribution to revisit  thediscover the teachings of Lord Mahaveer. Time will tell if it has made the impact or else life goes on as it is-------------!!!.

JAINISM--TRUTH IS ALWAYS TRUTH--------!!!

Gurudeo was delivering lecture in " Mahaveer Class" in Upashraya. Today's topic was 25 Bol. Gurudeo completed third bol--Kaay,16th bol--24th Dandak and 21th bol--Jiva- Rashi and it's categories being-563 living and 560 non-living one. He explained it in a simpler way.

 After completion of class 3/4 from students raised doubts over the classification. They asked Gurudeo how earth, water, fire and air (Prithikaay,Upkaay,Teukaay and Vayukaay ) can be treated as living one. They do not have doubts for remaining two Kaay seen by eye- plants. animals and o moving creatures .They requested explanation. 
 In their opinion majority of men believe them to be non living. Gurudeo told that he will clarify the doubt but before he wanted the all students to answer his question by written slip.
The question was What is the significance of celebrating birthday ?.
Out of collected 60 slips the resulting answers was declared. Being-
1--It is birth time of one particular person-----57 slips.
2--We follow tradition of majority though it is only delivery time.  Real birth time is when a soul takes birth in mother's womb approximately 9.25 months prior to delivery ---02 slips.
3-It is wrong to celebrate it as a birth time, because actual birth starts when the soul leaves the previous body with death and start his new march with a destination of mother's womb---01 slips.
 After it Gurudeo continued-" Dear friends the question and answer demo shows that majority can not tell or follow the truth all the time as evident from above sample case .It is also evident in daily
practice on day to day cases. Hence majority not always be true.
In above case our exact time of birth is not known to even our own mother who gave birth but only known to Kewaldyani ,thus so many things we do not know but can know through Jinwani only.
 If what we believe is whole truth then there is no need for new research. Each year Nobel and other similar prizes are declared.
It shows that still much more is left to reach near the truth for our modern science. So we have been left with no choice but to believe fully whatever is told by Kewaldyani Mahaveerswami Bhagwan. 

If there are no living souls in those categories how various viral diseases can be spread through air, water, earth and fire ?,What keeps burning of fire on ? If air is not powerful then how sound and picture waves are being transmitted from one place to another one ?
 Just think can a seed on rock can grow ?Why it grows  only on in fertile land- ?  Soil has souls hence it can assist seed to turn into plants. We cannot see hell or heaven but as told by  Bhagwan ,we have to believe their existence. So some time in most of our wisdom we have to follow the doctrine "Tameva Sachham Nisskham Jam Jinehim Pavehyim" (It is the only and only truth that has been told by Jinendra Bhagwan. ).Such faith makes our Samkit strong and put us on the path of salvation. It reduces our life and death cycles.

Thus knowing the truth ,we must make use of these resources to the minimum extent. Boiled water or water mixed with ash prohibit new lives creeping in. So there is minimum sin in such modified careful consumption. Thus truth cannot be same as visualized from surface
Truth is whatever is told by Bhagwan. So give up your doubts with reference to our limited knowledge and start believing teachings of Bhagwan. Soon you can have tremendous treasure of knowledge.

JAINISM--WHY ME------?----KARMA RESULTS-----!!!

Gurudeo completed daily lecture. It followed by question and answer session .Devotees narrated their present sufferings and pains asked Gurudeo whom they shall blame for it. Their sufferings were full of various common categories like--illness, death of loved ones then
poverty ,disputes in courts and more or less on similar lines.
They assured Gurudeo that their present life is full of religious activities, simplicity charity and honesty but they could not relate their sufferings to any of misdeeds or known sins of current life.
Gurudeo's answer is being summarized  herewith-----"Devanupriya
let me try to answer your questions based on  Jinwani Aagams only.

1-------Please go through the answers of Mahaveer Bhagwan in holy Bhagwatisutra given to Ganadharmaharaj for better understanding of subject. The related reference is being provided herewith.
A---Shatak - 01/02--Sayaamkrita Karma and Vedana (Self deeds and sufferings,) how self related Karmas and results are related.
B---Shatak - 03/03---------Kriya and Vedana (Action and sufferings).
C---Shatak17/04-Aatmakruta Sukh add Dukh and Vedana. (sorrows, happiness and sufferings by action of  our own soul)
A-In the answer to Guruguatamswamiji- Bhagwan told that all souls of 24 categories are sufferings due to own actions which are fallen due for results now. No one suffer without same history of his soul
B-In the answer to Manditputraji Bhagwan told that first it is action and then there is result. In no case it is first result and then action.


C-.In the answer to Guruguatamswamiji Bhagwan told that soul is suffering for own actions. They cannot suffer due to actions of others or combined actions. It is applicable for all 24 categories. (For Joint actions individual portion is separated by Karma doctrine related to Samudaik bandh).Here Bhagwan bifurcated Dukkha (pain) and Vedana (sufferings) in the following two categories-.

While Dukkha is always painful ,Vedana can be positive/negative. (Satavedniya) and negative (Asata-vedaniya).Satavedniya can give good results. However Dukkha compulsorily meant for sufferings.
In the nutshell if you follow Jainism you gain courage to face the sufferings. By knowing that you are the one who sowed the seeds, you can taste the resultant fruits with a smile and brave heart.
 If you face it with a feelings that, let me repay my borrowings as fast as I can- you can have more clean soul marching on path of salvation. One can pacify himself that Karmas have not spared Great Soul like Mahaveerswami, then I am too ordinary to ask for getting exemptions from  Karma operations on their maturity time.
As a common human we cannot relate particular action and exact time of it's making since there is infinite series of our past lives and deaths. Only Kevaldyani can tell it. So be careful for your smallest action by mind, body and speech. Interestingly any action which may be done in most secret manner, cannot escape from  Karma mission.
 Now devotees are too clear that the root cause lies with them only. They are the real architect of all sorrows, pain and happiness. One has to bear with own product either good or bad.

JAINISM--PRAYER TO MAHAVEERSWAMI--------TWO VERSIONS------!!!

I was curious to know how Gurudeo prays to God. One day I dared to ask him my burning curiosity. With a smile on his face he asked me if I can share my  way of prayer with him first. I told him that it is a normal and  routine one and can be summarized on follow lines.
"Mahaveer Swami -Thanks  a lot for this life you gave to me with all various luxuries. Definitely more can be added to them compared to others. Please ! - see that I and my circle live happily for a long, long period. Make it sure to keep me away from any of sufferings and the unpleasant things in life. Kindly ensure check on my enemies. May I take your leave now hoping for dreams come true. Thanks again "--!.
 Gurudeo again smiled and told he terms some part of my prayer as-- a  " Mangilal" s Prayer (Beggar's) "one. Looking to me he added
that before becoming monk his prayer was more or less on similar lines but now Jainism has changed the entire vision and attitude his  current  and routine prayer is on following lines.--------------------!
1-" Mahaveer Bhagwan thanks for the torch of correct knowledge passed on by you for me. With it ,I may remove fraction of darkness inside my soul. Without it I would have continued on the path of 18 sins and might have missed path of salvation in this life..
2-Without following your teachings I would have increased number of life and death cycles ,I sincerely fear inside my soul.
3.Without it I would have lost vision of right faith and right conduct
4-Now grant me courage to walk on the path shown by you without a fraction of deviation. Grant me the wisdom to have hundred and one percent faith that what ever told by Jinwani  and is only truth. 
5-The light shown by you taught me equality of living souls and changed my entire attitude towards them. Please grant strength to my hands so that I can pass on the torch to more hands.

6-Thanks very much for the invaluable treasure you left for us in form of 32 Aagams .Please excuse us for wrong interpretation if any .With my limited capacity I am unable to understand it fully.
7-Only a favor I ask to have last breath in current life with your name and Nankarmantra on tongue. Allow me to complete current journey in state of Santharavrata and Khamatkhamna to all with a  sense of peace and calmness on face while going for exit.

8-This can not be my last birth since lot of coverage of negative deeds are remains to be cleared off from my soul so please be with me as a guide, mentor and philosopher till I attain salvation.
I felt ashamed of my greed and ignorance and bowed to Gurudeo for a different but most correct Prayer. Really it has a fragrance of the innocence of child and is full of gratitude. I decided to replace prayer of mine with Gurudeo's version. Readers can think and decide for .

JAINISM-THE MAGNETIC POWER OF KARMAS-------!!!

The questions and answers session was in progress. Gurudeo was answering questions of Shrawaks ( devotees). One question came--We never invite Karmas,then how they can come and fix to our soul just like an invited guest---------?, a devotee asked Gurudeo.
Gurudeo smiled " It is very good question but before  knowing the answer-please try to note following basic six elements for better understanding. It explain the modus operandi of Karma doctrine.
1--Eight type of Karma Particles- ( Parmanu) exists  in universe -
Oadarik. Vekriya. Aaharak. (used to builds body and shape) Tejas,
Language,breathing,mind and Karman. Known as"Karmanvargna. "
First three particles are attracted for body as per his Gati involved. Karman particles consists of eight Karmas being-explained in 3rd.
4 Ghati ( easier to clear ) and 4 Aghati Karmas (difficult to erase).
2--Five types of Kriya (action)----Kayiki (with body),Aadhikarni (with tools.organs,weapons and possessions).Pradweshiki (love and hate),Paritapaniki (giving trouble) and Pranatipatik (killing)
3-Eight types of Karma particles- knowledge,faith,Vedniya (sufferings),Mohaniya ( love and hate).Aayu ( life term or span)
Naam,Gotra (Shape caste like) and Antaray ( prohibitory).

4-Eight components of Soul--Dravya, Kashay. Yog, Upyog(use),
knowledge ,faith ,conduct and Virya ( human power).
5-Three types of Yog (tool for action)--Mind, speech and body. Yog does the job to attract and fix Karma to soul. Kashay and it's severity involved in catching it decides period and it's severity.
6-Four types of Kashay--anger ,ego, Maya (tactics) and greed.
   The universe from bottom to top ( seventh hell to Siddhasheela) is full of  above eight types of Karman particles. The same particles as of earth are also present in Siddasheela, They are not attracted by soul of Siddhabhagwan since they do not have Yog (tools for action & Kashay (negative components of soul).
Karmas have magnetic power-they are non living and visible (not to ordinary human). Soul is living and invisible. Karman particles do not  get fixed automatically to soul but it a result of own action.

Our tiny action caused by transactions of mind, speech and body mixed with various levels of feeling attract them and got fixed to soul. Wrong faith Non-Pachhakahn .Pramad.Kashay and Ashubhyog associated with particular action decides the period of continuation of such particles with soul. However with Nirjara the period can be reduced except for Nikachit (fixed frequently) Karmas.  We have to face Nikachit Karmas as built. No changes can be made into nature.
Thus one may not invite Karmas orally but your smallest action is enough to attach them to soul. Soul carry it, till their clearance.
Now it is clear they are not invited guest but just invited by us knowingly or unknowingly. Just imagine following  common actions of human being usually undertake knowingly or otherwise in practice
1-Laughing at disability of some one.
2-Scolding subordinates.
3-Becoming sad with memories of near ones.
4-Praising beauty of opposite gender.
5-Expressing joy for taste of food, quality of construction and similar situations. All emotions also attracts Karma particles. One can blame that reacting to such instances is normal human behavior but to try to control feelings is a way taught by Jainism. One must be neutral in
all circumstances to the maximum human possibilities, Such control act as a barrier to incoming Karmas saving us from future trouble..

One may think it is ordinary reaction but mind well, you are inviting  Karmas. Now you can not say Karmas are  non invited guests" with it Gurudeo concluded answer. In a nutshell and moral story of it---
Be beware of your tiniest action if you want not to attract Karmas.
