JAINISM-----DEALING WITH 18 SINS.

Friends, here is coverage of Gurudeo's lecture in kids summer camp. Gurudeo explained the 18 sins and invited question from kid. One of

them stood up and asked Gurudeo "Sir, you have just told that water, plant vegetables, fruits and flowers are living souls. I do not doubt it. What I ask you that if they are living and drinking water and eating vegetable attract sins then how we can survive without water and food eating. Gurudeo smiled and started his explanation for it." Dear kids, this is same thing I asked Sadhuji around 60 years ago. What he told at that time I do not exactly remember but with reading now I can definitely answer your query. Look Bhagwan has told 2 sections for us following the "Sayam". One is "Agar Dharma" and second one is the "Angaar Dharma". First section is for Shrawaks and second for monks. Agar means exception while the second meant for without an exception. For Sharawaks he again told two types of sins. First is the "Arth Dandha" and second is "Anartha Dandha". "Arth is meaningful action. Action done with survival issue while another means actions

done without meaning or which can be avoidable. Now just listen to two example of routine life. One is eating and another is bathing. Let us assume both are essentials for growth and hygiene. First option is for food then to eat simple home made food before sunset being free from roots. Second option is to dine in a mixed hotel at night with all types of salads, onion, garlics and so on. Both are capable to quench

your hunger. In the second example you can finish your bath in half a bucket of water in 10 minutes. In second option you can have shower in a musical background or in a bathtub full of water full for an hour Here both options can take care of your cleaning body purpose. Just

think are you incurring sin equally in either of options or less in first option. You have a selection option to reduce and go for lesser sins in the first option for both event. Now let me add one more example. A reasonable living in India metro city for a average family can be 60k p.m. while it can be 40 to 30k in other places. Do you think we need to adopt all malpractices to be in Fortune's billionaire list--- ? Excess accumulation than needs and provision for reasonable contingency is a "Parigraha" adding to sins. This basic can help  you in future when you start to earn living. For Jain monks this facility of avoidable sins

and unavoidable sins is not available. Bhagwan asked them to avoid all sins even at cost of life. They cannot have a minute deviation for any of their five Mahvratas. Hence they don't cook or can live in own house. Only they can ask for  the Gochari for food from the food not cooked for them specially. In this way they incur minimum sin. Dear kids likewise you have to grow with habit of selecting lesser way of

sins for living. It may be celebrating festival like Dipawali or Holi or any other  activities. Always bear in mind not to go for sins which  can be avoidable. Hopefully you got remedy for lesser sins" Gurudeo concluded his lecture. I felt a spark on the faces of kids gathered.

JAINISM- MAHAVEERA'S FIVE MAHAVRATAS-!.

Friends, one of many scheduled events for the 2023 forthcoming Mahaveer Jayanti was essay exam, titled as " How much you Know Mahaveera". Gurudeo was briefing all the participants. Here is the coverage based on it. "Devanupriya knowing Mahaveerswami in a single life is too difficult. For a layman to know his basic studying his main five Vratas can be useful. Hence today I will cover his five Vratas in brief which can give you a glimpse of his total personality. He advocated five mahavrata for monks and 12 Vrata for Shrawaks.

1.--Ahinsa-Violence means depriving any soul any of his ten total Prans. Violence can be with weapons or without of it. Harm to the feelings ,mind is also one type of violence. Every living soul love to live his or her current life in peace and without disturbance by others. He may be poor or rich, weak or strong they loves current life most. No one like with him to happen whatever a single soul does not like.

2.-Satya-Bhagwan underlined the power of truth. A truth gives one courage to stand alone by freeing soul from a slightest fear. Zoot  the

opposite of truth need100 other stories to cover up the basic blunder.  Truth gives a peaceful inner strength and the soul can keep easiness. Non truth is the presentation otherwise than original facts happened.

3.-Asteya.-It means non theft. It underlies the importance of the hard work to earn a live hood. To meet needs of self and dependent's one has to earn by physical or mental power. Stealing may be easy but a risky method to grow bigger without working. Bhagwan was totally against of it. It make victim to feel sad by loss without any of guilty.

If one likes a simple life and spend within his limits no need for theft

4.-Bramacharya.- Bhagwan advocated this theory to ensure social security of all genders."Kam-Bhoga being attracted by five elements. They are Shabdha, Rupa, Gandha,Rasa and Sparsh. Victims of it may end up loosing wealth, name and being subject to hate by the society A faithful relationship with natural spouse and early retirement from physical relationship can can ensure safety of the Bramcharya Vrata.

  5.-Parigraha.- It is possession of living and non living things with a attachment. Earning money is not bad in itself. Utilization of it can be good or bad. It can be with a self centered or broad attitude. When the expiry date knocks the door it disturb the possessive soul more than others. Affection and love for self created or acquired thing also fall in this category like a home built by me or a car bought by me . If one go with non possession it motivates donations for good work.

There are so many theories and explanations of Bhagwan. His Karma theory, existence of soul, Anekantwad, Paap,Punya. Pratikaman and Aalochana all are a must for knowing the mysteries of life and death. Gradually we will cover it. For beginners hopefully this brief can be   useful and stepping stone to know Bhagwan" Gurudeo concluded.

JAINISM-----LOOKING WITHIN A SOUL.-----!!!.

 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 ?.

  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.?

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.

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.
