 Friends for my Blog readers I wish to share lecture of Gurudeo  given on "Chomasi Pakkhi" being Holi Chaturmas .Hope will find it useful.   ' Devanupriya so many times you have heard about soul  and Dhyan. You may or may not be knowing how to look within a Soul .

We as a human familiar with looking outside with our eyes. To look within a a soul closed eyes a static mind  silent and, holy place is a  must It can be done gradually with following discussed stages. First can be to review past and present and second one is planning future. A-Review past and present. Broad guidelines can be as following. 1-Am I a sensitive and fearful soul to fear18 sins and 25 Mittatava.?2- Any major sins that I committed  in past knowingly or otherwise .  3-Am I know basics of Jinwani like 9 Tatva. Samaik and Pratikaman

4.-Do I am aware for difference in body and soul and care for soul ?.

5.-If my faith in Jinwani is absolute or flexible depending upon case.

6- If I do religious acts for Nirjara or possession of material things. ? 7-If I love or hate something living and non loving too high extent.?  8.-If I am aware of 8 Karmas and cutting there of by Nirjara.

13-Am I fortunate enough to have good Guru following 5 Mahavrat strictly. Unless he follow it he  cannot help me to attain salvation.

14-If I had cheated anyone for money or have not repaid his dues ? I need to repay it anyhow if I do not wish him as my master in my future birth as donkey or bull. I do not need to keep assets for others.

  15.-I do not know my last breathing time I must wake up now and do maximum possible religious activities for Nirjara of bad Karmas.

 ?. Dhyan for future lives of a soul.

1-Can ever I may be able to leave domestic life and take Diksha ?.      2.-If my current life I am doing Pachkhans, Samaik,Pratikaman and Swadya. If I can unearth treasure of our knowledge ocean Aagam ?.  3.-Shoud I increase time giving for cleaning of everlasting soul.?

4-Do I need some more efforts to purify my Samkit of Jain religion?.

5.-My path must lead to salvation to end all sufferings of birth death.

Bhagwan has prescribed four times Dhyan for monks in any day. We all know soul is a invisible Drava cannot be seen but can be looked into for inspection. If we can reduce bad Karmas it can be of lesser weight. A light weight ensure higher Gati's birth and early salvation. Hope you all will give Dhyan a try in Samaik" Gurudeo concluded.

JAINISM----SAMAIK TAKING AND----------- COMPLETION PROCEDURE---------------!!!.

Friends, for upcoming Holi Chaturmas Sadhuji have arrived-- in city and has held kids summer camp. First lecture aimed to guide kids for procedure to take "Samaik." As it is beginning step for all your next

religious activities I thought to cover it in  blog. Hope it to be useful

 "Dear kids majority of you know Samaik is taken for 48 minutes. In it Shrawak gives up his domestic involvements with a "Sam-Bhav".

He try to look within own soul and it's liberation through Jinwani and Aagam. Over a period one can discover himself  and his soul.

What is results of doing Samaik. It is priceless as it give "Nirjara."   I explained you earlier- place ,dress code and tools to be used for it. Now I will explain you steps one by one. Your can refer small book given to you by organizers. Steps are important, learn Path at home. 1-Three Navkar Mantra.                                          

2-Samyaktva ka Path---Arihant Mahadeo .                                          3-Gurugun Smaran-----Panchidiya Savarno.                                        4-Guruvandan by Tikkutto ka Path -3 times.                                        5-Aalochna Sutra by Echhakarenam (loud) 

6- Tassautari ka Path-Followed by Ecchakarenam (silent in Kaussag)

Again followed by Kaussag Vishuddi ka small Path.                            7-Loggas. It is praise of 24 Thrthankar Bhagwan of Bharat Skhetra.

8-Pratidyna Sutra "Karemi Bhante" 3 times. Say number you want to

do Samaik at word Niyamam-1,2 as per your free time and capacity. 9- 2 times Namothunam first for Siddha and second for Arihantaji.

Now Shrawaks can carry on religious learning and similar activities. After 48 or multiple minutes one can compete his planned Samaiks. Procedure for it a little different. Note the number of common step.    Here the serial number changes due to drop of Tikkuto as Guru never permit to complete Samaik and to engage in domestic affair and sins.

1- Navkar Mantra x3.2-Arihanto Mahadeo.3-Panchidya Sawarno.

4-Ecchakarenam (open).5-Tasskari.6-2 Loggas in Dyan, followed by Visshudika Path and one open Loggar.7-Two Namothunam. Lastly 8

th is Path of Samaik Parneka Path. This complete your one Samaik. Objects of different Path of Samaik are as follow. Samyakatva path ensure making Samkit strong.Guru Smaran Path is our gratitude for Aacharyaji to show us the correct path. Echhakarenam Path aims at clearing sins before arriving at Samaik. Tassautri Path intend to offer sorry for body related issues while in Dhyan. Pratidnya Sutra makes  Bhagwan as witness to our vow to give up sins for Samaik period. At last Loggass and Namothunam path is for gratitude towards present 24 Thirthankar Bhagwan and  total Siddhas and Arihant Bhagwans.

One must aim at doing a pure Samaik no matter if number of it are less. Must be free from chatting with other drink, food, involvement in domestic affairs while sitting in Samaik. A clean mind's status for throughout Samaik period is essential as it provides foundation for future religious study and salvation of soul in shorter period. Samaik is a must for all Jain brothers and sisters above age of ten to ensure  legacy of Bhagwan Mahavirswami kept intact for centuries to come.

JAINISM-TOURIST PLACES AND THIRTHSTAN.

Friends, latest controversy involving Jain's holy and most auspicious "Thirth" Shree Samethshikarji needs to know this basic differences. Any place where any of "Panch Kalnayak" of Jain's 24 Thirthankaras have taken place is "Thirth".At "Thirth" one can find existence of all four pillars of Jainism. They are 4- Sadhuji,Sadhviji, Shrawaks and lastly Shrawikaji. As per Jainism beliefs holy salvation land in India are as follow. Rishabhdevji got it at Ashtapada or Kailash mountain Parvat (Palitana, Vasupujyaji- Champanagari Neminathji- Girnarji, Mahaveerswamiji- Pawapuri. All remaining 20 Thirthankars got salvation from Shree  Sammedshikharji presently at Chattisgarha state Where as any tourist place is marked by factors natural beauty, any famous architecture or locations having historical memories or

any manmade wonders and holy places recognized by other Dharmas or religions. Such tourist places can have  various comfort places like five stars and other luxurious hotels, bars, dens ,non- vegetarian food centers or gambling dens unless objected. At Jain Thirths places one will have only Jain or vegetarian foods shops and Dharmashalas. In short no odd activities against Jain teachings can be accepted at such holy places. Sanity of these places must be preserved at all times. In

practice what happens. Let us think. All vested interest in power buy land at such places with intentions to sell at premium for commercial acts when the place is notified as tourist places. No other reason can be thought for it to initiate such plan after 75 years of independence. This whole episode depicted a unity picture by all branches In all the

states of India various peaceful protest were undertaken voluntarily.

The peace loving Jain community took silent protest processions in all corners of India.  Two noble saints opposed it at cost of own life by taking "Santhara" till the status qua being maintains ordered issue.

At last power bowed down before non violence and justice and the changes taken back. It was a victory of peaceful "Satyagraha" done by masses. Jain community as a whole may be in very minority but

it's unity could prevent the whims of authorities. We must keep our eyes open and be vigilant. Greedy people have eye on prosperity and are envy of respect and intelligence our society commands. We must not trust politicians as very few can come to rescue in a emergency when mostly needed. We must add to our connections and sources. A wide communication need to be started in normal circumstances with and among all Jains offering priority and concessional services and goods to fellow brothers and sisters. It's a call of present time's era.

Hopefully we all awake to call given by today's existing power force.

A Thirth is a place where "Atma" can connect with divine power of "Parmatma".Any such a holy place needs to preserve it's sanity for ever. Hopefully the rulers may realize this basic truth and act wisely,

Bhagwan Mahaveer Swami has formed Thirth in south Bharatkhetra  around 2650+ years ago and  will last in total 21000 years. Bhagwan has warned for such obstacles as his Moksha time was marked by the presence of "Bhasma Graha. Bhagwan also said not to worry in spite of obstacles his Thith will complete the term smoothly. Jai Ho---!!!.

JAINISM-DHAMMO MANGAL MUKKITTAM---!!!.

 Friends, above one liner is from Aagam " Dushvekalik Sutra". This is regarded as "Mula Sutra" composed by"  Pujya Aacharya Shree Shayanabhav swami". Aacharyaji took "Diksha" when his wife was pregnant.Aachayji studied 14 Purva and was second "Shrutkewali". Subsequently his wife gave birth to a baby boy named as "Manak". After some time boy Manak met his monk father and took"Diksha" under him. Acharya was knowing this  child monk has a very short span of life. In such a short span to study all  Aagams was difficult. In order to help little monk to know summary of thirty two Aagams, Aacharyaji composed TEN chapters of "Aagam'---- popularly called

as "Dushvekalik Suttra". It contains in short what is real "Dharama".

The meaning of it " The Dharma is best auspicious which contains Non-violence, Sayaam and Tap. Dharma is what a living soul posses  in and out while living. Heavenly Gods bowed down to such a noble souls. Needless to point out that Jainism involves all 3 features in it.

Dushvekalik's all 10 chapter are easy and can be remembered easily. Shrutkewali means Kewali who knew by hearing or studying while "Kewali" knows everything for all three periods directly themselves.

We all have some faith or beliefs with which we live life. Ahinsa is all about caring for other living souls. Sayam simply mean to control all organs including mind, speech and body actions. Jain religion has

given 20 tools for it. Tap denotes to go for Pachkhans or fast as suits our body. It aims to restrict  our taste and quantum of intake. A soul may belong to any Dharma, if he is living life with these three basics he is following correct religion. It may be labelled by any other name

One may not to free to read all Aagams just add 3 elements to life. One may be blessed enough to have all resources, even such rich one need to utilize his wealth  keeping in mind these holy elements in his daily conduct while dealing with self and others. Following a correct  like Jain religion is not a easy task. It requires liking, reading a good religious literature, building a correct faith which leading to a correct religion and following it. Jinwani is a ocean  without drowning in it

fully, it is difficult for any soul to cut his numerous next lives cycles. Dushvekalik is a guide for all Shrawaks and monks. It guides them for Gochari, Aachar, Anachar, Vinay and all essentials for salvation. Engagement with Dharma offers a strength pillar to any soul. With it Dharma we get calm and cool  vision to face the calamities of life as

life cannot be bed of roses all the times .Dharma specially if is Jain religion it can explain soul and coverage of Karma on it and ways to clear the layers of it so one can reach the last destination of Moksha.

JAINISM---END OF KRISHNA'S DWARIKA-----!!!.

Friends today was the last day of Chaturmas-22. Tomorrow all Jain monks will leave current place for another destination. Gurudeo in his last speech at current venue covered  very important topic shared herewith. " Devanupriya in this last lecture, I will like to revisit story of Aagam "Antagarhasutra". You know Dwarika was a miracle city on earth built by heavenly God called "Veshrman" at request of lord. It was resembling heaven was and called "Dwarika as it has so many

doors. Main doors were nine in number. Same is number is for outer hole for our human body. With untimely departure of loved younger brother Gaj- Sukumali Muni, Shri Krishna easily came to know that good period of his empire is seems to be ending soon. His guess was later confirmed by Bhagwan Neminathaji. Three reasons quoted for the end. Curse of Dwipayanrishi, alcohol and  quarrels within the dominant cast Yadawas.  To witness end of empire together with self and loved one was not a easy task. We all know from Antagarhasutra

the moments of such a distress what Krishna Maharaj has done. He started to take care of al families whose members go for Dikha. He also encouraged his queens to become Jain Sadhviji. Shrikrihna him self was unable to go for Diksha as he was a Vasudeo. All Vasudeo's fate is compulsorily to take birth in hell. Just try to make out lesson from this story. We need to visulise our body as Dwarka having nine  doors. We often get signals from our body or doctors. Does we notice

and act upon it. We may face issues with hearing eyesight or stomach but our interest to run after wealth and near ones never get changed. If you are a Jain and is aware of "Pandit Maran" and "Bal Pandit Maran" with  Pachkhan then it is well and good . Pandit Maran for  Jain monks and Bal is for Shrawaks But if you are Jain age above 60

years of age and not knowing it then you must act fast. Try to be in company of good Shrawaks and monks and learn Santhara and other basics of Jainism together with 12 Mahavrata for Shrawak. Take care of "Aparigraha" which means non possession. We all very well know that all the wealth- no one can take along with self at the time of his departure. As a result make a will for fair distribution of it including proper share of charity Most important is to declare that henceforth

you do not own these assets by taking Pachkhana and saying 3 times Osirami! Osirami ! Osirami .! It means you gave up it's ownership. Make a practice to take Pachkhana each day while going to sleep as

"Aahhar, Sharir, Upadhi- Pachku Paap Athar"

"Maran Paau To  Osirau ,Nahi to Jab Tak Bolu Nahi Navkar"

Bhagwan Mahaveer has informed in Bhagwati Sutra that a soul can continue to attract Kriya even if he leaves world without giving up.

The main idea is to  nullify all possession before the departure. Hope you will understand the importance and will act, We all very well know that death is certain but  time and venue is uncertain. So be ready for any event and ready with good backup Gurudeo concluded.
