JAINISM------GUIDE TO LEARN 25 BOL------!!!.

Friends my earlier blog- covering 25 Bol is too popular in this series. It can be attributed to the fact that devotees get this summary of all  Jainism major things at a glance based on Aagam .I have a note from

Gurudeo's  few lectures related to it. Herewith I present it to make it's

learning easy."Devanupriya,- we all know importance of knowing 25 Bol. Since it is vast few may find it-- difficult to learn. Today, I will brief you few tips to learn it. Let us divide it in two parts. First check how the Bol fit for us. Where and how we stand in it then we can fit 

and apply it to balance souls. Myself XYZ--- (Fill with own name) is a moving human having five organs. I am being gifted with- ear, eye, nose, tongue and skin. I live life with support of 10 Pran as- 5 organs with mind, speech and body. I owe my existence to completion of 6 "Parayati" I can breath till my  "Ayushyakarma allows me. My this apparent body is "Odarik" and two hidden bodies are "Tejas" with Karman. With my mind, speech and skin I can perform in all 13 Yog barring Vekriya and Vekriya-Mishra meant for Narki and Heaven. I can use these "Yog" to have five types of Knowledge or three types

 of wrong knowledge and four types of Darshan. I have to face eight Karmas. A big task to start from 1st Gunasthan and to reach fourteen Gunstan, I need to act as guided by Mahaveer Swami to reach 13th Sayogi Kewali and then lastly to Siddhagati. For it I must avoid 240 Vikars of FIVE organ of 23 classes. (1to 13).As a Jain I must know the difference as explained in "Nine Tatvas by Bhagwan Mahaveer

with 115 subsections. My main soul  has 7 other components, Out of it I must avoid "Kashay Aatma".As a Siddha I wish to have only 3 components. Bhgawan has classified all living souls in twenty four "Dandaks".I fall in 21st category being "Manushya".I know that my soul can turn into 6 Leshya based on my sentiments. I must try--- to avoid 3 bad Leshya. As a human I can have either of 3 faiths. I will be fortunate when I will touch correct vision. (14- 18).

Mediation can be done in four ways, I must to avoid 2 bad ones and  follow 2 Dhyan. Bhagwan has classified universe in six " Dravya" with 30 sections.  Jainism tells living souls are of 563 sections and non living has 560 sub-sections. As a Jain Shrawak I must aim to go for 12 Vrata. I dream to take Diksha become monk and follow five Mahavrata to minute details. I can go for Pachkhan (vows) in a 49

ways. I knew the last one 3/3 is difficult but in future I will go for it.

In a second way one can first write on  paper of index and remember in which serial number how much items are covered. Like 1-4, 2-5, 

3-6, 4-5 means keep in memory 14,25,36,45 like. Hopefully it can help you all to learn these basics fast" Gurudeo concluded lecture.

JAINISM---------"KARUNA-SAGAR"-------BHAGWAN MAHAVEER SWAMI----------!!!.

Friends, all Jain devotees will be celebrating "Veer-Nirvan" day on 04/11/2021.It's a Diwali day being Kartik Vadi Amawsya. True to it's name the full dark day of Amawasya covered the knowledge- Sun in form of Bhagwan Mahaveer forever in physical form, centuries ago,

but it cannot hide the legacy and tremendous teachings of Bhagwan. Even today human race is finding shelter under--- Mahaveerswami's unique ways of living lives as per Jain principles without harming or disturbing each other. We observe the diminishing levels of affection in all the passing generations. Some 100 years back our grandpa's generation was much more concerned in a true and sincere sense for

the well being of entire town. While our father's level was limited to his relatives. In present time our love is confined to spouse and kids. Now let us have a glance to the coverage of Mahaveer Swami. He cared for all living souls from a tiny ant ,plant, animals to all human. being. We call him in gratitude as "Karuna-Sagar". In a real sense he is being remembered as "Shat-kay-Nath" as he offered "Abhaydaan"

to all living souls. Just remember his forgiveness to Goshalak, snake Chandkaushik, Sangamdeo and cow keeper fixing nail in his ears. He even thought good of souls who tried to harm him. Such a noble acts are not even in our eye sight. To forgive a soul who attempted to kill  himself need great courage. Bhagwan Followed Ahinsa by all means 3 Karan and 3 Yog supported by kindness. Mind, speech and body offers 3 Karan and 3 Yog. Thirthankar Bhagwan do not give lecture

immediate after taking Diksha. They wait till they achieve the unique "Kewaldyan and Kewaldarshan.The reason being Bhagwan never tell a lie or use a "Sawadya" language. The first ever "Pravachan" of them covers non violence or Ahinsa. He firmly believed  each soul loves to live his or her life peacefully till his last breath, Even harsh words, physical assault or abuse no one likes irrespective his size or status."Jio aur Jine Do" was a simple theory he preached during life.

Bhagwan Mahaveer was a continuous flow as a ocean for kindness love and affection. His tolerance and reactions to all adverse events of his life are worth to observe and learn. The coolness and stability

of mind he maintained helped him to cut his thickly built Karma in a shorth life span of mere 72 years. In a" Granth" I read a very touchy story of Him. While walking on bare land He bended to pick up the throne from leg. In a process a  chest covering cloth fell down. With a intention not to harm the throne tree now and in future he did not

picked up the cloth and wondered without a single belly cloth.  We are too blessed to be gifted his legacy in form of Jainism. Let us try to repay  obligations by doing 108 Jaap of "Puchisunam" and reading 36th chapter of "Uttaradhayn Sutra " on his Nirwana day of this coming Diwali. Let us pray- Bhagwan please bless our lives by your eternal light forever---------!!!.-- Sidha Siddhi Mam Di Santu----!!!.

JAINISM-A MUST ONE LINER FOR MOKSHA--!!!.

Friends- today I intend to share a useful lecture for kids by Gurudeo.  Some time back Gurudeo addressed a well gathered kids gatherings. The lecture goes as " Dear kids it's very pleasant to see you all in such a large numbers. It makes me to feel proud for your parents and your upbringing in Jainism life style. Previously, I shared with you meaning of Navkar Mantra and explained nine Tatvas in a summary.

In brief you know that getting free from eight Karmas is moksha,

Moksha ends all body related pain and sufferings and offer 8 types of most desirable virtues for a soul. To be there in such a lovely place like "Siddhasheela" is a most desirable dream of any true Jain. If you all want to get there I give you a simple one liner to be repeated after me."Siddaha Siddhi Mam Di Santu. It means Siddha Bhagwan plz.

guide me to have "Siddhgati" like you. Those lines are very powerful but not magical. In a short span it may not have effect to get Moksh, It is to be used to sow a sentiment of getting to Moksha. After some time ,you will know the five types of "Vayahar Samkit" when you go for studying Pratikaman. First type is "Saveg ".It means the wish for

Moksha ,it is also known as "Moksha-Abhilesha".In  Uttaradhyan Sutra in chapter 29 "Samyakavta ke Mul- 73 Sutra" Pujya Bhagwan Mahaveer has put "Saveg" as a first step towards salvation. There must be a willingness of a soul to achieve and go to "Siddasheela .A

seed is basic condition for growing a tree with support of soil, water ,air and sun. Like wise when "Saveg" get nutrition of Samkit, Dyan. Darshan and Charitya aided by correct Guru Moksha is not far away

When one do religious actions are done without intentions of getting Moksha it is called "Akam-Nirjara".Abhavi souls with such actions

can reach up to 9th "Greyeyak" but cannot attain salvation. 

 

I will disappoint you by saying that cleaning 8 Karma is too difficult task. But at the same time it is never impossible, otherwise how can the numbers of Siddha souls can be second in all living souls. First is being Tiryanch souls. Human efforts has unlimited potentials and no barriers if soul is willing .Kids- one may take more than 3 to 15 life cycles, but with whole heartily efforts one can definitely achieve it.  Mahaveer swami clearly told that all Bhavi souls will definitely will get salvation. I wish you must learn Loggas and then this last line particularly" Gurudeo ended lecture. Kids raised voices and said "Siddha Siddhi Mam Di Santu".I liked kid's spontaneous reaction.

JAINISM------"KAREMI-BHANTE"------!!!-------TWO POWERFUL WORDS---------------------!!!.

Friends, let me share a beautiful lecture of Gurudeo. It was given on occasion of "Pachkhawani" for a young girl for 8 day Upvaas during Paryushan." Devanupriya, today I feel very happy and proud for this little girl. At the age of 15 year to dare and do fast for 8 day is a great achievement. This is wonder of two powerful words being "Karemi Bhante".A Jain keeping in  his heart "Arihant Bhagwan" and takes a

particular vow to go for a sacrifice. Meaning of " Karemi Bhante" is "Bhagwan- I intend to do such and such--Pachkhan making you as a witness. In Jainism from a small Tap like Samaik, Navkarshi to big  Diksha is being performed with  these two words. Just imagine how these small 2  words do wonders for a Jain devotee giving them inner strength. To control mind and all five organs is too difficult for all of  us to understand unless one tries it. From kids to elders going for fast as Tap is a very effective tool to cut layers of negative Karmas. On the other hand to decide and to take Diksha to become a Sadhu or

Jain monk needs tremendous courage. Only light souls can  do it. To describe the difficult path of " Sadhu-Jeevan" devotees must read chapter 9/33 of Bhagwati Sutra titled as "Jamali Charitra".Parents of Jamalikumar to prevent him from taking Diksha explain difficulties of life of a Jain monk. They describe the path more difficult than the following examples. Eating sand, digesting iron balls, walking on a sharp weapon, Facing the Ganga river and swimming across a ocean.

Even in "Antagarhsutra"6/15 Atimutakkumar chapter it is covered.  With only two words of Karemi Bhante a soul distracts himself from the domestic world disconnecting his ties with family and wealth. He

never know the next destination, where to sleep and what will be his food. He begins his long journey of salvation with help of Jinwani.

With a sole object of cleaning  soul, he guide masses  for Jinwani.

Devanupriya without a deep faith in teachings of Mahaveer Swami,

no one can dare  and choose such difficult path. I hope in coming days more of you will join the Tapasvi wagon and do the maximum Purushartha to have Nirjara of Karmas and march to salvation. We are really blessed to have such noble and great religion fortunately" Thus Gurudeo ended lecture which lauded Tap and Diksha for souls.

The hall was filled with voices'Anumodana Anumodana Barmbar.

JAINISM-"YEH AATH DIN--2021-PARYUSHAN PARVA-------A PAWAN MAHA- PARVA--------!!!.

Friends, we all Jain celebrate most devotionally "Paryusha" from the Bhadrapada Krishna Teras till Bhadrapadha Shulka Panchmi. Here is the share from my diary for Gurudeo's lecture. Prior to lecture member of organization committee praised Gurudeo and His effort from start of Chaturmas. Gurudeo interrupted and started his lecture.

"Devanupriya, in past I suggested  not to praise us. We do not have any major contribution in it. We are just like a retail merchant who is here to sell Jinwani products as per order of Puj.Mahaveer Bhagwan. Myself do not have even near one intelligence level to preach you. I am trying my best to simply reproduce Jinwani. Let us move to topic Coming eight days will not bring a apparent miracle for us but it is

certainly capable of changing our living and shaping next birth. We are fortunate to have it as you know Pandemic deprived many of us this opportunity. How to use it is a matter of personal selection. I give herewith two options. First is easy and second is desired regular. Option A-A devotee who has physical disability, busy schedule or a less interest can go for it. One Navkar Mala with Navkarshi, dinner before sunset, giving up roots for eight days. He must try to control anger and remain absent from  18 sins. I feel it all can be done easily.

Take care not to visit restaurants. outstations and cinema halls. One can try to take 14 Niyam and give Abhaydaan to Tiyanchgati souls.

    Option B- Beside above they can have fast, Samaik,Swadhya of the  "Uttaradhyan sutra and Pratikaman, No one should miss Pratikaman on Sawsastari day followed with Aaloyana and "Khamat-Khamna. I

have repeatedly told you that Aayushbandha chances are more on this day so be in good and religious state of mind and actions. If it is possible to attend Stahnak or temple do not miss "Antagad Sutra".

Try to have Vrata-Pachkhan and fast. Fast do not aims at starving or punishing body. The tools are designed to test your power to control organs and habits. So far we have completed every demand of organs

Just see it is in your own interest to do the best possible human effort level. We are legal heirs of Mahaveer Bhagwan and must prove to the real worth of it." Gurudeo concluded his guidance,

JAINISM------------SOWING SEASON FOR SOUL -------------------CHATURMAS-2021--------------!!!.

Friends Chaturmas-2021 is knocking door. Soon the anxiety will end for devotees. Jain religion monsoon starts with beginning of "Aadra-Nakhshta". Charurmas start from23/07/2021  day being Aashad Sudi Poornima. Most Auspicious eight days "Paryushan" period begins on 04/09/21 and ends on 11/09/2021.Auspicious "Sawastari"is on 11/09 Bhadrapada Sudi Panchmi. Holy period of Chaturmas ends on Kartik Sudi Poornima being16/11/2021. Bhagwan Mahaveer Swami Nirvan day falls due on 04/11/2021 being the day of Kartik Vadi Amawasya. It is also "Dipawali a day to celebrate Bhagwan stepping to Moksha. Devotees are free to follow dates related to their own branch's faith.

As a farmer transform a bare land into a green land flooded with all crops, our soul gets the chance to transform into  more cleaner status.

Busyness is a gift of modern times to us. In major portion of eight months- we rarely find time for our soul. Bhagwan has specifically advised to curtail our travelling plans and stay at one place barring an emergency. Chaturmas offer us minimum to maximum efforts. We

can do Navkarsi to 30 days fast and one Samaik to maximum twelve Samik in a day can plan suited to own spare time.Only not to miss it.

We can move from our domestic life to Jain spiritual world in those four months. Spiritual world has more power to offer us inner peace.

"Antagarha" and "Uttaradhyana Sutra" reading can also be planned.

So many good religious activities can be done. All it only needs own recognition that yes-- I have err a lot, now it is the time to cover time lost so far. As Bhagwan said "Samayam Goyame" to Gautamswami.

If fortunate to have  Su-Gurudeo at own place, it gives a opportunity to hear "Shrutdyan"  of Jinwani. Whatever is possible can be done,

One can also give up eating roots, vegetables and food after sunset.

Sawastari offers a rare opportunity to reduce burden of hate over soul in form of "Khamatkhamna".One can express sorry for wrong deeds and ask for forgiveness from other whom he might have hurt in past. Another required task is 108 recitation of Puchisunam on Diwali day.

Every devotee must try not to miss fast and "Sawastari Pratikaman". Sawastari is a most important day for soul's" Aayushya Bandh". It is most likely that this day may bring next life fixation for a particular soul unknowingly. The sentiments and state of mind must be crystal  clear for a higher "Gati".Hopefully readers will start acting on it.One

thing must be stored in mind the lost moments and opportunity are never give second chance, Let us use "Chaturmas-21" to the fullest. We must remember- we intend to reach Moksha. The journey is not 

easy but not impossible. With "Dharma-Aardhana" we can have the destination of salvation will be soon in sight. Let us march speedily.
