JAINISM------QUALITIES OF A SOUL---------!!!.

Friends to have a religious use of today's full moon day, herewitth a brief share of a another best lecture of Gurudeo. Pujya Gurudeo was answering to a question of a devotee. "Sir, how the logic behind all different souls can be explained. Myself is a son of Jain monk. While

my father took the Diksha and became monk, I even find it difficult to do a "Samaik ".Looking at him Gurudeo started his answer. "You are right in saying that there is difference in qualities of souls. That's the reason of having two group being Bhavi and Abhavi soul. Let me introduce all of you to basic concept of soul. There is only 2 "Draya" in entire universe one is living and 2nd is non living. Former is to be
called as "Chetan" and later is "Jad".Chetan is soul having "Upyog" as a basic feature. Upyog means to know and believe. It can be a one correct or wrong. All souls from Ekendriya to Panchedriya have this.
It is known as "Sadhnya orAdhya-Vaysay" in other than 5 indrediya.
However with different levels These 3 basic feature can be seen in all living including "Siddha Bhagwan". Each living soul is far way from any biological or D.N.A. criteria's. Relation of parents are limited to  our current birth only. All souls are permanent in nature having no beginning  or end. Pradesh of souls  beyond cut, burning or catching.
"Aatmapradesh" of each living are numerous exactly equal to a sky. You have shaped your soul all together in different manners over all of your past lives. Now let me turn to shaping of one's soul. We all know nature of eight Karma. In listed image first four Karma are too
severe or "Ghati"- Karma affects quality of soul. Rest four Karma are "Aghati".Arihant and Kewali Bhagwan have cleared all "Ghati " and they will get salvation in same life once "Aghati-Karmas get cleared.
Last 4 are body structure, birth background, term and pain related. To note that as long as body is there, there will be pain high or low, 
 All Atamapradesh of soul are being covered with numerous Karmas  of eight types. With our routine actions we continue to add to them.
Now it depends on a "Purushartha" of a particular soul whether he is adding positive Karmas and reducing bad Karmas or vice versa. Soul has 8 components. Who ever use more Kashay Aatma attracts more layers of Karma than others. Naturally his positives virtues get more reduced. For outer world good actions from him become absent.
If a soul doing Swadhay he is reducing bad "Dyanavarniya" while if he is doing Samaik , taking "Pachkhan" he is adding  good Karma of Mohniya Karma. Reducing any bad Karma and adding good Karma process is called "Kshayo-Pasham. These results are the main reason behind different interests and actions of various souls. As such monk father of yours can take "Diksha" due to reduced character covering Karmas. A soul who has cut off  knowledge covering Karma will be naturally inclined to do more and more study of Jinwani. We term such a soul as "Halukarmi".He is constantly aware to absent from 18 sins and utilize maximum time for "Dharma-Aaradhana. The soul
who is just  opposite to is "Bharikarmi",He is not bothered for sins or "Mitthyatva" or such negative Karma. He enjoys doing as own likes. This difference behavior cannot be marked as a permanent for any soul. With "Punyoday",the soul may get by coincidence a chance to get to know a pure soul by rise of a cause or event. Company of such noble soul can bring a radical change into him and can be made to know the strength of Aagamwani. As such one need not to give up all
hopes and victim of disappointment .Try to read Jinwani with given reference of miseries of life. The truth of it can do wonders for you, Gurudeo concluded his lecture .If lecture changed the devotee or not- only future can tell the facts. Let's wait and watch future hopefully.

JAINISM------WINNING OVER MOHNIYA (28) KARMAS--------!!!.

Dear Readers this Blog aims to assist Bhavi souls to walk on Moksha path based on "Jinwani".We know that most difficult to win over in this journey is "Mohniya Karma" and wrong faith being "Mittyatav". Mohniya means not only love and hate it is more than that. Herewith I share Gurudeo's lecture from my diary. It is based on Jain Aagam- 

the chapter 33 of "Uttaradhyansutra "titled as "Karma Prakurti".Only if we know exact scope of this Karma then only soul can engage to overcome them. "Deavanupriya, I appreciate your eagerness to know the hurdles in the path of salvation. Today in brief I will share them. Mohniyakarma can be classified in 2 broad categories .They are as-- A.-Darshan Mohniya-Soul's inability to see and believe correctly is termed Dmk. They are of 3 types. Samkvatya, Mitthatva and Mishra Mohniya. As you know 25 Mitthyatava and 14 Gunsthan, I do not repeat them. Kash means to suffer. The main reason for our  soul's suffering is birth, Opening the gate of  all  our sufferings is Kashay.
 B- Charitra Mohniya-They are of 2 types. Kashay and No-Kashay.
Kashaya Mohniya are of following 16 types-4x4. Out of it four main categories are 1.-Anger.2-Maan.3-Maaya.4. Greed or Lobh. Out of it last one greed or Lobh is most difficult to win. Each of them is being more four sub categories making total sixteen. They are as follow---. 1.-Anantanubandhi.2.-Aprathyakhan.3.-pratyakhan.4-Swajalaan.         No- Kashaya is of 9 types-Hasya (laughter),Rati-liking or disliking, Shok (grief),Bhaay (fear),Jugupsa (disliking or allergy, hate against  any living or non living matters.) Now we can study Kashay 16 type.
1-Krodh-We all are familiar with it. Anger, irritation, aggravation, provocation, annoy all comes from Krodh. When things do not turns as per own wishes, or hearing unpleasant reactions for us we get it. Souls in hell are being dominated by this type of Kashay-Anger.
2.-Maan-Self esteem or superior complex for self creates it and gave unreasonable expectation from relatives and others creates this. Pride can be for caste, religion, status, knowledge, Tapasaya like reasons.
3.-Maya-Manipulation,trickery,deceit,fraud intention creates it.
4.-Lobh- expectations  without justification with greed creates it. The souls in heaven are being dominated by it. The Lobh can be for name, fame and money. Even few monks cannot free self from it All of these four main bad quality further divided into similar four sub categories based on degree of sentiments at time of Karma building.
A.- Anantanubandhi--Deep ill feeling lasting till last breath. Thus the revenge feeling of Somil Braman towards Gajsulumalji. Unless this type of Kashay get cleared, balance 15 Kahay cannot be cleared. Jainism introduced "Khamat-Khamna, forgiveness to get rid of it.
B.Apratyakhanvaran-It prevents even a slight Desh Virati Pachkan.
C.-Pratyakhanvaran-It prevent to become monk and go for full 12 Mahavrata. It prevents from Saayam and full Charitra Aaradhna.
D.-Swajalan-It prevents Kewaldyan and  Yathakhyat Charitrya. It is not long lasting. The lighter soul can clears once  has got Samkit.       All Kashay play dominant role to fix "Anubhag Bandh" of Karmas built, "Anubhag" means the severity of results when Karma rises.
 To know the seriousness of Kashay all present  Sharawaks must read the warning of Mahaveerswami in 12/01 chapter of  Bhagwatiji to Shanka Shrawak Kashay. Bhagwan said Kashay causes turning of
short term suffering into long term, makes Karma binding gets into deeper,small Pradesh are being turned into larger one. Thus it make the soul to travel through long ending forest of lives and deaths, Mind well path of salvation is not a bed of roses. One has to clear all the obstacles one by one. I hope you will understand it and try to do
needful at earliest .Take care to see that our case do not become as a lamp of mud who aims to be like sun without correcting darkness at bottom. This Kashay is darkness for us" Gurudeo concluded lecture.

JAINISM-KARMA,NIRJARA AND PUNYA----THE ONLY SAVIOURS---------!!!.

 Friends, the second Carona wave has hit India very badly. From all states all types of bad news maintain their flows. Each day more than 3 Lacs cases are reported with average 3k deaths. Almost each of the family has suffered the pain to minimum or large extent. It reminded me one of Gurudeo's warning in his lecture. Here is edited sharing.   " Devanupriya. we must be totally thank Bhagwan Mahaveerswami for his guidance through Jinwani. He warned us the magnetic power of our built Karmas. He also suggested the remedies in form of the Nirjara and building Punya. Over period all have been explained. If

you take cases from past or present one thing is clear that whenever a crisis or disaster knocks the door nobody can save except own soul.    Here, we can revisit our glorious past and check all incidents. Sati Sita had a great husband like  Prabhu Ramchandra, But she cannot be saved from Ravana's kidnapping her. Sati Dropadi 's husbands were
the great Pandavas but could not save her from her stripping in the conference hall. Shrikrishna was a Vasudeo and king of 3 continents still when arrow hit him no one turned up to save him. Abhimanyu was a great warrior  and son of Arjun and nephew of Shrikrishna yet when choked in the "Chakravhuva" no one can rescue young boy. Gajsukumalji was brother of lord Shrikrishna, disciple of Prabhuji Neminathji, still he faced fire of death on his first day of Diksha by
 Somil Brahmin. Even today the pandemic made rich, poor, young old,  MP. MLA. medical professionals it's victim. Who ever has own life term in balance could save self successfully. All examples shows that only our Karma.Nirjara and Punya can protect us no one else is capable for it leave the background of wealth or relatives. The non
availability of bed, oxygen, medicines is a worst nightmare. Even there was  a long que for last rituals of dead bodies, All the horror stories are beyond the words and griefs. Each family is fighting the war on two fronts.One highly rising prices with loss of income. And second regular additional hospital and laboratory expenses with cost of masks, sanitizers, soaps and so on. Only near one can feel it. So there is no point for all of us to wait for old age, Know the types of 8
Karma.9 Punya and modes of Nirjara.Nirjara can be by fast varying from Navkarshi to Varshitap, Samaik, Pratikaman and Swadhay. Do all to maximum capacity of soul. Mind well in all unseen all adverse
conditions only Karma ,Punya and Nirjara can help us. You know Karma is any tiny action of mind. language and body. Nirjara is the cutting of accumulated Karmas and Punya means doing good deeds.
Try to remain absent from eighteen sins and 25 Mitthtatva to the maximum possible extent. Thus Gurudeo has concluded his lecture..

JAINISM-----IMPORTANCE OF MAHAVEER JAYANTI-2021.-----------!!!.

 Friends', the much awaited day of Mahaveer Bhagwan is around the corner.25th April 2021 is day of Bhagwan's Janma Kaylanak being the "Chaitra Sudi Teras".This is a rare rays of hope current difficult time where India is passing through storms of second Carona wave. The difficult period of pandemic taught us all unless we're connected with religion and Mahaveerswami, there is no one is savior. I feel too sorry for patients searching for bed, oxygen and injections all over.


We all under huge debt of Bhagwan's obligations for giving Jinwani.
He taught us to live a fearless life and caring for all living souls from an ant to human. He made the difference in soul and body very clear and advised us to care more for soul giving up love for body which is perishable with passage of time. Our "Samudaeek Antaraay" Karmas are prohibiting us to celebrate Jayanti as we did up to last year. Even remaining at home can offer our respects and affection to Bhagwan. Bhagwan has so many achievements to his credit. In only short life of 72 years Bhagwan cleared huge Karmas by his best "Purushartha".
Bhagwan told us Karma theory and warn us to care for small action.
Friends we can recollect all his achievement. 14 Dreams seen by his mother together with 10 dreams seen by Bhagwan himself. His help to Mahasati Chandanbalaji, Arjunmali and Chandkaushik to cut off all bad Karmas. His forgiving Goshalak and Sangamdeo all chapters from His life we can revisit to make all his memories alive.
Bhagwan used his infinite "Kewaldyan and Kewaldarshan to guide  human race. He preached Jainism ways for living to have minimum 18 sins and 25 Mithatva coverage. It's a irony that world has ignored his non violence ways to a large extent and paying price for it. We're  fortunate to have birth of such noble soul. It can happen only once in so many centuries.A shayar rightly said it like applicable to Bhagwan
We as  Jains are fortunate to have Bhagwan's legacy in form of 32 Aagams. In a life time we must aim to read minimum Uttaradyhan  and Bhagwatisutra. It can vouch Bhagwan's tremendous knowledge.
Let us all pray for all next lives to have Bhagwan's  guidance for our souls getting Samkit and reaching "Siddhasheela" on salvation. See
if  one can try to chant "Puchhisunam" as a respect to this great soul.
Life, teachings and achievements of Bhagwan is beyond words and it cannot be summarized in a single Blog page, A single human life is too short for saying the virtues of this noble and unique soul. Only I can offer a grand salute by Namothunam to this great soul.

JAINISM----FIVE OPTIONS FOR A SOUL-----!!!.

Friends, last week has bought a sad news of demise of my senior  member from Jalgaon. He got a "Santhara Maran " due to old age. His passing gave me a flashback of his achievements. Religion and social in both field he contributed a lot .It reminded me Gurudeo's  lecture for molding of our soul. Here is the coverage from my diary.

"Devanupriya, you all know power of a single soul. Each and every soul has got a tremendous potential. It depends upon his upbringing, culture and religious training. Bhagwan Mahaverswami has in 12/09 chapter of Bhagwatisutra given in "Bhavya-Deoaadi of five types " description. I will explain it in popular terms . Please refer the sutra
for original meaning. We have also studied six Leshaya of a soul which express it's sentiments. We have also seen eight types of soul. A soul can be turned into " Aatma Duratma, Mahatma, Dharmatma and finally into Deva-Dhi-Deo " or Parmatma.
(Simple soul, demon, great man, saint and Finally God. First one is a simple soul living life in a routine way not doing any harm to others. Second one is a bad guy with number of versions from killer to cruel dictator. Human history is full of such examples. Only seventh hell can accommodate them. Next one soul is doing Dharma and helping others to do it within society he is Mahatma. For Mahatma the area of their horizon varies. Some are doing service of community others for broad one like state, country or world. They contribute for lifting masses' lives and acting as a sure helping hand. My departed relative was from this category. Any one facing difficulty can approach him
and get his helping hand, Arranging Chaturmas, Dikha, wedding all functions, he was first to reach. There were in all three Dikha from his own family. We all meet such 2 or 3 Mahatma in our life time. I pray for his early salvation and his soul to rest in peace for ever. The fourth one is Dharmatma. A true monk, Only engaged in spiritual guidance for devotees without involving money of any selfishness.
He make effort to get salvation for himself and guide devotee for it.  

In Bhagwatiji  Mahaveer swami used following terms and features. 1.-Bhavdrava Deo-Human or animal eligible to get birth in Deolog. 2.-Nardeo-A chakravarty or human king ruling earth with ethics..      3.-Dhrmadeo-Jain monks following exact path of Mahaveerswami.    4.-Devadhi Deo- Arihant Thirthankar Bhagwan. 


5.-Bhavdeo-Souls who are living term as any four types of Devloga. I end up the write up by a pray to his soul to bless us and guide to serve the society with all possible sources to maximum as he did.I hope readers will pick up suitable option  and carry on the mission.

(To be completed---------).

JAINISM---WHAT IS MISHRA-DRASHTI- GUNASTAN---14.---------!!!.

 Friends the mix reports of second pandemic wave in my state put hold on my travel trip plan to have "Gurudarshan". It made me to visit again to my diary to refresh memories of Gurudeo's question answer session. One question attracted my attention. Samkit is my interest subject and I keep reading on  quality material on it. Here is summarized version for my blog readers. Hopefully it turn out good. 

A devotee requested Gurudeo to explain "Mishra-Gunstana" to him. Gurudeo started the answer " It is the third Gunastana.Mishra  means combination of more than one faith. The particular soul has moved up from first and second stages. Now the third one is crucial stage to decide his future course of salvation. If the soul has been guided by Suguru he can enter forth Gunastana or back to the first "Mitthyatva" one for a longer time delaying his salvation. I hope before going into the subject you all know by this time what is correct faith or darshan.
In forth he can have faith in Jinwani but cannot go for Pachkan.Five can make him true Shrawak from 6 to 14 he can become Sadhu and can walk on path of Jinedra Bhagwan provided monk is not Kuguru.
In Bhagwatisutra Bhagwan has termed  Kuguru "Asanvrut Angar".  Mahaveerswami has given details how Kuguru increases his cycles for misguiding devotees and not following Jinwani in disguise of a monk in white dress. One can refer chapter 01/01 of Bhagwatisutra. 
Mishra soul's faith is mixed .He believes in both. Kudeo or Sudeo. He can worship Mahaveer Swami and God of other religion equally. He do not bother to verify their teaching or nature. He do not want to check if other Gods are free from love, hate or killings. He also visit
Stanak, Jain temples or Upashray. To end personal sufferings he can offer visit all astrologers, numerologist or so called Godman to get the solution. He have no hesitation to bow down to tree or any statue  fixed on roadside .He is aware of Karma theory but also used to try all available options to solve problems faced.
The soul happily perform "Yadnya",offer oil lamps flowers, Chader to famous holy places of all religions. He keeps "Upwas" on  week's particular day to please planets and put on particular ring to please the unfavorable Graha. At the same time he chats Navkarmantra ask friends and relatives to participate in "Shantijaap" arranged at home.
Using Navkarmantra for material gain is not Samkit. He also donot have problem to pluck flowers or lit number of lamps for festivals. By birth he is Jain. Has kept a day in a year for "Sawastari" to follow Jainism. But taking Pachkhan ,not going to mix hotels not followed.
At some point of time he visits even few Jain "Kuguru" for the paid astrological services to future prediction. He does not care that such
attempts will bring disgrace to Bhagwan's teachings and Jaindharma. He and the Kuguru do not find anything is wrong for Samkit. If one really care to protect or make Samkit stronger, he must have a deep study. For it one has to read 10/25 Mitthyatva from Pratikaman or 25 Bol and 29th chapter "Samyaktva Parakram of "Uttaradhayan Sutra.
Dear devotees two things carve in your mind for ever. Salvation is not possible without Samkit. Second once you fall to Mitthatva you will have to pass through more life and death cycle to regain it. Hope you will understand it and leave Mishra or Mittyatav as early as you can do. Check you are not worshipping Kudharm, Kuguru or Kudeo  When ever possible add quality Sham. Saveg, Nirved,Anukampa and Aastha. Aastha is to care it is a good tool  for adding to Samkit
A soul do not build next life while at this stage. Reason being one must be of a single faith right or wrong. Hopefully my lecture can help you to look within soul and correct flaws "Gurudeo concluded.
