JAINISM-CAN WE MEET REAL MAHAVEERSWAMI------!!!------- PART---2.

"Dear parents and kids, let's start second session, Gurudeo restarted the session. For knowing availability of real Bhagwan ,just be get familiar with sections of universe and period ( Kaal ) given below.
1-Total sections of time is 2 cycles with 6 sub sections each termed 
 as "Aaras". Presently we are in fifths downward cycle-Avasarpini.

2.-----Total  human area in universe is in two and half island only.
It covers "Jambudvipa. Ghatkikhand and Ardhapushkar Divpaa".
In all there are fifteen Karma Bhumi in those human area.They are
5 Bharat.-5 Eirawat and- 5 Mahavideha. Presently we are residing
 in Bharatskhetra area of Jambudvipa's southern part.

3-In Mahavedeha area, real God in form of Arihant Bhagwan and
Kewali Bhagwan are in existence and are always there in all times.
4-In Bharat and Eirawat area, real God are available at the end of third cycle. full forth cycle and in limited period of beginning of  5th cycle. Thus at start of this fifth cycle last Bhagwan Pujya Shri Mahveerswami was there for few years out of current cycle of 
21000 years. Of course, firsts Bhagwan Rishabhdeo was in third one.
5-Any friend Devata from heaven can help monk with clean soul in
our area, at present to take  him to Mahavideha area for limited
period to have glimpse of Arihant Bhagwan and bring him back. The process is being known as "Saharan "similar to  mild kidnap.
6-A Jain follower can in next birth can take birth as heavenly god or  human in Mahavidhehaa. A follower with right faith becomes 
 "Vemainkdeo". They are very powerful  personalities. They can
easily fly in plane to Mahavideha, to meet Thirthankar Bagwan .

7-A follower with wrong faith can be in Mahavideha by birth and if
got Jainism as religion can meet Arihant Bhagwan directly.
8-A heavenly god with right faith, can take birth in Mahavideha
be monk, obtain Kewaldyan, then he can also see Siddhabhagwan.
9.-A liberated soul naturally can see all Siddhas being at same place.
Thus presently ,there are much limitations, but be on right path as
taught by Bhagwan Mahaveerswami, soon we can be able to meet
real Bhagwan. For reference one has to  refer Bhagwatisutra  and visit of Shakendra and Sanatkumar to Bhagwan Mahaveer" Gurudeo concluded. May be difficult but useful to know it. I thanked him. 

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






JAINISM-CAN WE MEET REAL MAHAVEERSWAMI-------!!!-------PART----1.

Sometimes ,I really envy innocence and frankness of kids. I recently experienced what I miss on attaining maturity. Particular incidence happened in question/answer session of Gurudeo on eve of Mahaveer Jayanti's kids camp. One kid around four years age asked Gurudeo "Sir, Can I see and meet Mahaveer Bhagwan now. ? We all eagerly waited, how Gurudeo pacify her query. Here goes the summary of answer. It can be a very guiding and touching piece for my readers.

"Dear kids ,I will try to explain it in simpler words. Unfortunately,
presently we cannot see and meet Him. "The girl raised hand and stood up and interrupted "No sir, I am meeting Him everyday, when I visit temple with my daddy ". Is it ? Gurudeo continued with a smile " Dear, it is a temporary and symbolic adjustment by all of us. If it is a statue or photo. It cannot be real. It is a medium invented by us 
through which all devotees can visualize  existence of Bhagwan in.
temple or even without it in Sthanak. I hope you got this basic clear.
Now Bhagwan is in body less form at top of world. It is known as
"Siddahsheela",So how can he be  here ?.Similarly he is one and left human body before 2600 plus years, so how he can be on earth and in every temple ?. You just think and tell me answer later on.
The kid failed to understand but seemed to be disturbed and sad. She sat down and started listening carefully. We felt really sorry for her
disappointment. "My dear kids, there is nothing to loose heart with ground reality. I am sorry for telling harsh truth. But fact is fact.
To meet Him  indirectly even if you look up at sky and bow down saying in mind "Namo Siddhanam ",it is sufficient to reach to 
 him. All Arihant ,all Kewali and all Siddah can see and can hear us .I will certainly show you ways to meet Mahaveeraswami.

 But you need to get help from your daddy to understand it, as you
grow up. Now ,I invite seniors to note down points, so that later on
you can tell the truth to kids in easy and lighter ways.
In Jainism we believe to have God in 5 forms as per Navkarmantra
They are Arihant. Siddha ,Aacharya,Upadhya and Sadhuji. Arihant
Bhagwan are at Mahavedehakheshtra at present. They are 20 in number. Siddhabhagwan are at top. They are in countless numbers.
Later 3 forms are at our present Bhagwan on earth. They all are actually in one in form of Sadhuji. Aacharya and Upadhay are their higher qualification and qualities. Panchparmesthi have 108 virtues.

 Now we need to discuss how we can see and meet first two highest
 form of God ? Looking to kids sitting capacity, let us meet again
in afternoon session." Gurudeo concluded pre lunch session. Kids left for break. Please check second part for continuation of  this blog

JAINISM--- END,BLACK HOLES AND KEWALDYAN-----!!!------PART-2.

Today, I visited a nearby town to have Gurudeo's Darshan and to attend program organized on eve of upcoming Mahaveer Jayanti.
The question and answer session was just started. A young student who is doing his Ph,D, from a recognized university stood up and
put his question to Gurudeo. "Sir on last 14th March 2018 world has lost a great scientist. He added so many new inventions to science.
Prominent among them are beginning of universe, it's end and black hole and so many other major thesis. Reports are available with me.
What I wonder, Mahaveer Bhagwan said to be a holder of complete knowledge ( Kewaldyan ).I just wanted to check with you .whether
he has, any where, told those things earlier. It can add to my faith. 
Gurudeo started his answer. "Young man, there should not be any doubt for depth of knowledge Bhagwan used to have. One has to
undertake more than 100 doctorates to study only ,what he has told 
through Aagams. Here due to the time constraint, I can give you only
references covering subjects you raised. You can study  the relevant
chapters and revert to me with findings. Certainly it will help you.
1--Bhagwati Sutra 06/05 chapter deals with black holes. The chapter is being termed as "Tammaskaay Tam means darkness. Please refer.
2---Same chapter of Sutra also deals with similar subject termed as
"Krishnaraji" It explain black lines in all universal milky ways. 
3----Chapter 07/06  of Bhagwati Sutra deals with end of current era.
It is titled as " Bharat Kherstra Dusham-Dushma Kaal ".Our era will end after  approx. 39400 years from now. It is balance period of 5th 
Aara being 21000-2600=18400. Added by 21000 years of 6th Aara. It will start with cyclone  known as "Sawartak Wayu".Every thing
will come to end except three permanent for ever 
They are two rivers known as Ganga, Sindhu and one mountain " Vaitadhya Parvat ".
Earth and all other planet will remain as it. Only living souls in our Bharat area will end .It will allow beginning of the new cycle. It is termed as "Utasarpinikaal".In it things will move from bad to good.
Beginning of universe .he already told  that, it was there, it is here and it will be there, for all time. Universe has no start and no end.

4-It is Bhagwan who told first------- that plants have life. Later  on
science confirmed it, recognized it with many  prestigious awards. 
Bhagwan told air, water to have lives. Then science discovered a drop of water to have 36450 tiny insects. It is the reason for viral diseases spread through air and water  duly established by science.
5-----To know his depth of knowledge ,one has to study 32 Aagams
deeply. He covered almost all subjects under the sun. You can come
across geography and space science in----"Jambudvipapranpati, and
Chandrapranpti and Suryapranapti." We know only one sun and one moon. He knew 132 each sun and moon in Daidivpa, You can study
anatomy and biology in Jivabhigam and Pradyanapana Sutra. 
Physic in Bhagwatisutra which cover motion, matter, combination of atom and so on. Many things are available which needs deep study.
One can come across so many facts if you undertake study of all       
 Aagams. Unfortunately 12th Aagaam "Dritsiwad" which contained treasure of knowledge is not available in current era. Still whatever we have, is sufficient to vouch his knowledge. Plus 2600 years ago he knew it all. There were no books.no guide ,no library, not a single  university, no laboratories.no internet and no telescope just imagine.
Without Kewaldyan all this knowing cannot be simply possible."
Gurudeo concluded. My eyes were flowing with great surprise---!!!.

JAINISM---TEACHINGS OF MAHAVEERSWAMI-----------!!!

Current year's Mahaveer Jayanti will be held on 29th March 2018. Gurudeo while going to next destination ,was in our city for two days.We requested him to cover topic of life and message of Shri
Mahaveer Bhagwan in lecture of next day. He agreed for it. I liked 
the lecture very much. Here is the summary for blog readers.
"Friends, each year we gather to offer respect to this great soul on his birthday anniversary. Most people term it as celebration marked with procession, plays based on his life, lectures and sweets.
I urge you to mark it always in simple way as a Thanks giving day. With his arrival in world .universe came to know the ways to keep away from sins, ways to cut negative Karmas and free the soul
from chain of  lives and deaths. One cannot get such teachings from any other source. He showed us the eternal light to lead peaceful life.

He taught us the tremendous power of Karmas and equally matching 
power of  a soul. Our sincere thanks must always be due to him.
Now, May I request you to carefully read ,the wall frame fixed on wall behind my table. It's meaning is very deep and read as-------!!!.

Thus in a true sense ,he is guide for salvation and not a authority to 
grant Moksha. (Translation of meaning of frame in English)

Mahaveer's teachings can be studied in following three ways--------.
1.A lay man can get introduced with him with that frame only.
2.To know him, one has to become Shrawak and read Aagam. and
3.To understand him and his way of living one has to become monk

 Leading a simple life and concentrating on cutting of bad Karmas
only can offer any soul a happy ending was his simple message.
Most of us wrongly interpreted his teachings. He never suggested
to worship him blindly. He expected us to adopt him as role model while living current life. We have confined him only for 3 days.  Mahaveer Jayanti, his Nirvan day and Savstari day celebration.
Where as his teachings must guide us  all 24x7 hours each day.

If we can check with us whether. we have adopted his minimum two teachings. the results can be disturbing. Let us check it as sample
non- violence and forgiveness ,can we practice fully ? Do we care for all living one and treat them at par with us ? Do we care for our words or action used for others ? If we regret our wrong doings ?

Forgiveness is too difficult to adopt. A mosquito bites you at night since ,he is unaware of your sufferings, in absence of knowledge.
How you react is test of your understanding Mahaveera. You all 
know Bhagwan's reaction when snake took his bite.
Thus to aim for salvation and work hard to fullest of own capacity  can be said to be his message to all Jain and other living souls."
 Gurudeo concluded .The gathering ended in deep thoughts. I thought to myself, really to study Mahaveer ,he must be in heart.
Superficial devotion cannot serve the main purpose.

JAINISM-WHY I AM A JAIN AND REASONS WHY I AM PROUD OF IT-----------!!!.

As per present trend, organizers have given the captioned subject to youngsters for essay presentation in this summer camp. The age for group was 15 to 25 year range. As a committee member, I was not in favor of this subject. In my younger days, the atmosphere was much different. Nobody was required to prove his nationality or speak for his own religion. Harmony in society was remarkable in those times.
Blowing one's trumpet is being order of the today. Since then much more water has flowed from river of co-existence, So I have got my  objection withdrawn. For my blog readers I am covering first twelve  selected points from compositions for readers study and knowledge.
Jain is devotee of Jinendra Bhagwan -who has conquered organs and 
mind "Indriyoko Jitnewala Jitendriya". They are free of love and hate
I am Jain and love religion because of following few and other point.
1.-I care for every soul. Deep in my heart, I know that whatever is not good felt by me ,cannot be good for other living too. Every soul love his life and loves to live it as per his own faith and own method.
2-I believe to live life based on moral values of non violence, truth,
non theft and non possession, It gave me tremendous inner peace.
3.-I am proud of my religion but equally respect all other faiths as
I believe, harming mind sentiment or feeling is also a act of violence.
I got basic training by Jainism  to care about effects of my tiny action
4.-I know the difference between body and soul. Still will not allow anyone to cut my body for food or experiment. With same logic ,I do not approve killings of innocent animals for personal reason or taste.
5.-Jain religion was founded by Arihant Bhagwan and Kewali and based on Aagams. All Jain God preach same Jinwani. Not a single word of it is contradictory to each other. It is constant for all times. I like the consistency and uniform basis of teachings without flaw.
6.Jain culture is being marked by unique legacy-- Samaik, Diksha,
monk ,fast, Chaturmas, Khamatkhamna, Pratikaman and Santhara.
All tools are designed to keep away from sins and cut down Karma.
7.Karma theory and freedom of soul are non-parallel teachings of
Mahaveer Bhagwan, the last Thirthankars of this period. Karma give a ownership feeling while facing the outcome coming as results. It  makes to be more cautious for using all organs mind and language, 

8.-I believe life after death concept of Jainism. It has made my all present actions accountable ensuring my good behavior. It also made me to restrict my free actions without caring for other living souls.
Moksha or liberation of soul is a most unique feature of Jainism. It says no can  make end of suffering without cutting roots of all birth and death cycles. It needs only existence of body less soul forever.
9.-My religion made my vision broad. I started to accept it that all
others can  have different opinion than my opinion. I respect it. Deep in my heart I knew that in absence of "Kewaldyan" knowing truth is too difficult.Truth can be reached by many interpretation and opinion
.As a result there is no point to be adamant for own opinion .I can listen carefully what other side believes without getting disturbed

10.--I could not find so deep analysis of soul and salvation moksha elsewhere. Jainism helped me to know root cause of my sufferings.
It help me to cut down on eighteen sins and go for Pachkhans.            11-I am thankful to Jainism for changing my basic concepts. Now with logic I can believe that the universe is self generated rather than created and controlled by god. Neither it has beginning nor it has any end. Even this cannot be my only life as awards and punishments for all my actions, I have to repay with same severity. It seems logical.    12.I can proudly say that my Jain religion has Nil black history. We  know from History other major religions black history for attacking other religion's worship places or malpractices for conversion of the devotees. My religion is based on respect and peace so it is totally free from such misadventures Total mankind history will vouch it.
13.I can give a small definition of what alphabets stand for the word Jain. It is belief in justice being just, affectionate for all living souls.
impartial in dealings, and lastly n stand for a nice human being in all.
Friends ,this is summary. It is an attempt to bring unique features for
 Jainism in a summary form. The attempt is absolutely free from any attempt for marketing or establishing any kind of own supremacy.
It is a symbolic presentation out of ocean of knowledge of Jainism.
