jainism 5:0 Wan JAINISM IS MORE THAN A RELIGION, IT IS A PHILOSOPHY AND A WAY OF LIFE KISHOR BHIMJI SHAH Jain Dharma is the essential nature of an individual or an object. Bhagawan Mahavir has explained the meaning of Dharma clearly, thus Dharma is nothing but the real nature of an object. Just as the nature of fire is to burn and the nature of water is to produce a cooling effect, in the same manner, the essential nature of the soul is to seek self-realisation and spiritual elevation. "Dharma is the name that can be given to all the elaborate codes of conduct and ideologies that enable life to attain nobility and spiritual exaltation". Dharma can be the only means to understand and realise the true meaning of life. Dharma in its real sense is that which leads the soul on the path of felicity, peace and spiritual bliss; and impels it to be active and progressive. Jain Dharma is absolutely independent, unique and systematised among the religion of the world. It has its own philosophy; it has a code of conduct tested by time. It has a unique outlook and wisdom. Jainism is there in the universe since innumerable years and will remain there for innumerable years, that is, it is there forever. It was, and it is, and it will be there permanently. Jainism and its principles can be put into practice by everyone during his/her lifetime. Life's every moment is precious. ~ Be the Inspiration Walk the Talk - Live the Jain Way of Life N

How TO BE A TRUE JAIN 1: 4EO 5 doo When I enter the temple, Let me leave my ego at its doorsteps, Let me come to pray and not preach, Let me obey rather than order, Let me be fair and just, not fanatic, Let me listen to others rather than be listened to, Let me look at the reasons and not be rigid, Let me rejoice in the philosophy & not revel in physical practices, Lord Mahavir, help me be a true Jain and let me leave my ego behind. w ergoose he KISHOR BHIM JI SHAH

The Siddhachakra depicts the Navpads - Arihant (centre), Siddha, Acharya, Upadhyaya, Sadhu, Gnan, Darshan, Charitra and Tap. The Ayambil Oli is dedicated to the worship of these Navpads SAR APRIL 2016 In the 'Shreepal Raja no Ras' (The Legend of King Shreepal), Yashovijayji Maharaj Saheb says that "The Jinas have shown us countless techniques to manifest the God within us, but verily out of all those the worship of the Navpads is considered to be the highest" Ayambil is observed to achieve victory over taste - "Life is not for eating, but food is taken to maintain the life." The food eaten during Ayambil is like a detoxification & beneficial for one's health, It also helps reduce one's carbon & himsa footprint KISHOR BHIM JI SHAH

join forma Briefly The Jain Karma theory is 'the scorecard of life and your actions' The Jain theory of Karma is probably the most elaborate. Karma is everything BUT a negative load on our life. JULY 2016 Jains believe that Karma is a physical substance - a very fine invisible particle - that spreads throughout Karma particles are attracted to the jiva (soul) by the actions of the jiva Law of Cause & Effect; Law of Action & Reaction; What one sows, one reaps KISHOR BHIMI SHAH Understanding of the mechanism of Karma leads to total independence. While the Law of Karma dictates what we are experiencing now to be the result of our own past action, the Law - by clearly defining the principle of cause and effect - also lays before us a positive future direction of our own choice and making. It unfolds abilities generally attributed only to supernatural beings. We achieve this not by fickle divine sanction or by surrending to a guru Through our own efforts, we recognize our own personal path with ever increasing clarity ONLY WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE AND ONLY WE CAN ALTER IT. NO ONE ELSE CAN! houko Kisun Our intention behind our actions of mind, speech and body binds us with Karma Our Kashay (anger, ego, greed, and deceit) bind Karma to our soul

KHAMEMI SAVVA-JIVE SAVVA JIVA KHAMANTU ME, MITTI ME SAVVA-BHUESU VERAM MAJJHA NA KENAL Introspection during the Paryushan Festival should not only be of the self but should also include a review of our actions towards animals, plants and all other forms of life forms and the environment. SEPTEMBER 2016 The above prayer of forgiveness, which is recited often during the Paryushan Festival reminds Jains that "the universe is not for man alone. It is a field of evolution for all of life's forms. Jainism teaches that life is life, not only in people of all lands, colours, and beliefs, but is of the same sacred quality in all creatures, right down to the tiny ant and humble worm. Consciousness exists in everything which grows, regardless of the size of its form. Though different forms are not the same in mental capacity and sensory apparatus, the life force is equally worthy in all" KISHOR BHIMJI SHAH

OCTOBER 2016 0000000-00000 KISHOR BHIMJI SHAH 0000000-00000 00000 00000 The Festival of Lights Diwali symbolises an integral facet of Indian culture which teaches us to vanquish ignorance that subdues humanity and to drive away the darkness that engulfs the light of knowledge. In this modern world, Diawli is a timely reminder for us all to uphold the true values of life. Jains celebrate Diwali to mark the passing into Nirvana of Bhagwan Mahavir. Jains light lamps to commemorate Bhagwan Mahavir's divine knowledge that dispersed the darkness of ignorance. The state of liberation (Moksha) attained by Mahavir and the state of omniscience attained bt Gautamswami on New Year's day constitute spiritual wealth according to Jainism. This the wealth,, we as Jains are supposed to worship on the occasion of Diwali. May we all prove worthy to receive the compassion which flows from the lotus feet of all Tirthankaras

All sentient beings merit them All the world's quarrels stem from intolerance of each others' FOUR SUPREME GIFTS which are difficult to carn & attain: FIRST, is the gift of being born as a human being SECOND, the gift of being ignited with a longing to hear the truth and of having that longing fulfilled; THIRD), the gift of developing faith in and love for the true teachings one hears: FOURTH, the gift of being so filled with enthusiasm and conviction as to put the teachings into practice in one's daily lifc. Darbas Samme views A rational worldview shall help you grow You can achieve anything in life by a combination of rational perspective, knowledge and actions Nothing is permanent, change is the way of life ... By Anish Shah "Life is measured in moments, not in years. One hundred year is a point in eternity. We are worried about how to live, but it will be over before we know.

Quotes from: YOGASHASTRA OF HEMCHANDRA fifia "All living beings are souls, with consciousness and the breath of life, like me. Just as I welcome happiness and find pain offensive, all beings enjoy happiness and dislike pain. Upon thinking about this, as it applies to all beings, I will not act in a way that would cause such undesired violence, torment, or loss of life to any living being." ACHARYA HEMCHANDRA 1088 AD - 1173 AD YOGASHASTRA OF HEMCHANDRA Acharya Hemchandra was one of the most eminent scholar of his era, a polyglot as well as a polymath. He is not only one of the greatest Svetambara Jain monk of Gujarat, he is one of the greatest monks & literary personalities of India. It is due to the influence of his literary works that the Jain culture still shines brightly in Gujarat today. The text consists of 1009 verses divided into 12 chapters shedding light on Jain code of conduct as well as a Jain treatise on Yoga. "Pride is that which makes me blind, because it robs the eye of discrimination. It is also the destroyer of the three goals of human pursuits - Dharma - discharge of duty; Artha - acquirement of wealth; Kama - gratification of desire, as well as of decent behaviour, learning and a good character." "The darkness of ignorance was blinding my vision. A healing paste has now been applied - the medicine of true Knowledge. Now my inner eyes are open. To the Master who helped me, who removed the layers of ignorance and enabled me to see rightly, I humbly offer my appreciation and gratitude." Hemchandra highlights ascetic practices for moral upliftment, service to one's parents, meditation, recitation of the Jinas' names & meritorious conduct. It is guide for ascetics as well the layperson on the path of liberation Hemchandracharya Jayanti on 13 November celebrates his birthday. "May no one commit evil. May no one suffer. May the entire world be liberated. Such a sentiment is called friendliness." KISHOR BHIMJI SHAH

PACCHAKHAAN Pacchakhaan - this is when a layperson takes a limited time bound vows renouncing certain activities for a fixed period of time.

PLEASE NOTE: When taking any pacchakhaan, say the word pacchakhaami and easivaami. When giving the pacchakhaan to someone else say the word pacchakhai and rosirai.
