Various events took place in this last decade which are detailed on the YJF website. The first edition was compiled by the Yorkshire Jain Foundation (YJF) in 1990. The second edition was published in 2007 on the 20 YJF Anniversary. Both of these editions have English and Hindi, while this new edition has English and Gujarati. The first two editions of the booklet have been immensely useful for the YJF and various other organizations. In fact, the second edition can now be downloaded free from the following site: http://www.yjf.org.uk/page6.htm Further, the Four Noble Truths have been rendered into a song album Atam Ajar Amar Hai for which the video version is available on the following site with English translation of the lyrics: (xiii) For Privile & Personal Use Only www.yj.org.uk

The main objectives of the Foundation are the promotion of Jain values and thoughts including the assessment of Jain ideas in modern physical, psychology, logic, neuroscience and contemporary thoughts. In particular, the objectives are I. To promote religious and educational activities related to Jainism and to develop better understanding of Jain values in modern context. 2. To provide and promote academic and cultural interchanges and cooperation internationally. (xiv) www.yjf.org.uk 3. To foster interaction, dialogue and communication with Jain organizations throughout the world. 4. To make rituals/scriptures more transparent with emphasis on their interpretation relative to contemporary thoughts. ***** Excerpts from the first edition 1. The Background The Yorkshire Jain Foundation under the name of Leeds Jain Group was formally established in April 1987 on the Mahavir Jayanti. The main objectives of the Group are the promotion of Jain values and thoughts. This is the first direct publication of the Foundation and it is hoped that others will follow. For example, the Group contributed to the Commentary on the manuscript of Mardia K.V. (1990), The Scientific Foundations of Jainism. The Foundation also hopes to maintain a library on Jainism and comparative religions. (xv) www.yjf.org.uk

2. The Booklet The main emphasis in Jainism is on the simple principle that you - and only you are responsible for every aspect of your life. You score negative or positive points through your activities which in turn affect your future; your present life is partly due to your past scores. There is neither a Creator God nor any external power to intervene in this process. The Group meets once a month. The meeting begins with a few prayers followed by open discussions on Jain values and contemporary thoughts. In particular, the younger members participate actively in these discussions. We have divided the booklet into two parts: (a) Jain thoughts in English and Hindi (b) Prayers. The prayers in Romanized script appear face to face with English translation. Prayers in the original script (Devanaagari) can be found in the last section. It is to (xvi) www.yjf.org.uk be noted that the "Aaraties" of Aadinaath and Mahaavira highlight their biographical accounts so that we can reflect upon their qualities. We have translated the Aaraties, so that their real spirit may be captured. Furthermore, the prayers enable one to reach the inner higher self. Diacritical marks have been excluded from this edition as proper pronunciation of Indian words needs some instruction, specially for prayers. The third edition follows the same pattern as in the second edition, except that this edition now replaces the Hindi version with the Gujarati version. Excerpts from the second edition We have now added the Hindi translation of every section on "English Thoughts", for which, we are grateful to Dr. N.L. Jain of Jain Center, Rewa (India). In addition, we have also added one Aarati "Panch-Parmesthi" which is commonly used by the Digambars. We have also added the "Baarah Bhaavanaayen" - "Twelve Reflections" in this edition which are very popular, and these highlight the guidelines in practice. (xvii) www.yjf.org.uk

1 - JAIN THOUGHTS THE ESSENCE OF JAINISM knowledge, perception, bliss and energy. The contaminants are called karmic matter. Each of our actions from past to present affect karmic matter, which in turn determines our future. 3. Reincarnation Jainism is derived from the word "Jina' which means a person who has conquered himself or herself and Jainism is equivalent to the quality of "Jainness". Jains believe that the religion was founded by Rishabha (Aadinaath) and is extremely ancient. The last Tirthankara (spiritual path-maker) of twenty-four was Mahavira (599-527 B.C.); the twenty-third was Paarsva (872-772 B.C.). The essence of Jainism is as follows: The cycle of birth and death continues until the soul achieves Perfection. The form of each reincarnation is determined by the level of accumulated karmic matter which may be raised or lowered. Broadly speaking, a good life leads to the lowering of the level of karmic matter. 1. Self-Conquest 4. Consciousness Each person is the architect of his/her own fate. Each individual has the potential to reach the highest spiritual level by self-improvement. There is no single supreme power, every thing exists within the self-regulatory laws of the universe. All the living things from microscopic life to human have consciousness in differing degrees. Even plants have consciousness. All are governed by the same natural laws. 5. Reverence for Life and Non-violence 2. Karmic Matter It is regarded as a natural law that the soul is contaminated and therefore, does not have absolute By practising reverence for all life in thought, speech and deed, we improve our spiritual status. This, in turn, influences the level of karmic matter. Bad deeds lead to a strong bond of karmic matter www.yjf.org.uk www.yjf.org.uk

Page #14
with the soul whereas good deeds lead to a weaker bond. The following figure presents a hierarchy of life. As corollary to this precept, vegetarianism (with additional dietary restrictions) becomes a way to self-conquest. Alcohol is also forbidden not only because it is believed to contain millions of microorganisms, but also because it breeds passion - the number one enemy of self-conquest. 6. The Three Jewels The Jain teaching is summarized in the so-called three jewels of Jainism: Right Faith, Right Knowledge, Right Conduct. The belief in self-regulatory universe, soul and karmic matter constitutes Right Faith. This comprehension with non-absolutism is Right Knowledge. Their consequent practice leading to self-conquest is Right Conduct. 3 www.yjf.org.uk i Humans Animals Roots Plants Minerals/Water 7Air/Fire Micro-organisas Insentient objects 10 10 4x10 5 -1 2x10 -1 3x10 -1 1072 -3 10 -4 5x10 -4 10 Perfect Souls Spiritually Higher Average Man Criminals five-sensed four-sensed three-sensed two-sensed one-sensed (concentrated) one-sensed Subtle micro-organisms The life-axis giving the degree of the soul's purity for different beings (see Mardia, 1990, 2016). 4 www.yjf.org.uk

TRUTH 2: 'Living beings differ due to the varying density and types of karmic matter." TRUTH 3: "The karmic bondage leads the soul through the states of existences (cycles).' TRUTH 4A: 'Karmic fusion is due to perverted views, nonrestraint, carelessness, passions and activities.! TRUTH 4B: "Violence to oneself and others results in the formation of the heaviest new karmic matter, whereas helping others towards moksha with positive non-violence results into the lightest new karmic matter." TRUTH 4C: 'Austerity forms the karmic shield against new karmons as well as setting the decaying process in the old karmic matter. *See Mardia (1990, 2016) 6 www.yjf.org.uk

LETTERS BETWEEN MAHATMA GANDHI AND RAYCHANDBHAI* To highlight the spirit and essence of Jainism, we quote one of a pointed question, posed by Mahatma Gandhi to Raychandbhai together with his answer. Raychandbhai is regarded as one of the greatest Jain personalities of this century; Gandhi mentions that "Three persons have influenced me deeply: Tolstoy, Ruskin and Raychandbhai: Tolstoy through one of his books,...., and Raychandbhai through personal contact." GANDHI If a snake is about to bite me, should I allow myself to be bitten or should I kill it, supposing that that is the only way in which I can save myself? (Oct. 20, 1894) *Translation from Jaini, P.S.(1979) 9 www.yjf.org.uk RAYCHANDBHAI One hesitates to advise you that you should let the snake bite you. Nevertheless, how can it be right for you, if you have realized that the body is perishable, to kill, for protecting a body which has no real value to you, a creature which clings to its own life with great attachment? For anyone who desires his spiritual welfare, the best course is to let his body perish in such circumstances. But how should a person who does not desire spiritual welfare behave? My only reply to such a question is, how can I advise such a person that he should pass through hell and similar worlds, that is, that he should kill the snake? If the person lacks the development of a noble character, one may advise him to kill the snake, but we should wish that neither you nor I will even dream of being such a person. 10 www.yjf.org.uk

A. MEDITATION: INITIAL CHECK LIST JAIN MEDITATION* 1. I adore the three jewels: Right Faith Right Knowledge Right Conduct The purpose of the Jain Meditation is to stop the influx of karmons and to shed existing karmic matter so that the true nature of the immortal self is manifested through its qualities of infinite Knowledge, infinite Perception, infinite Bliss and infinite Energy. 2. I shall have with humility: Amity for all Appreciation for those above Equanimity for those who cannot hear the teaching Compassion for those below. For daily meditation, about 20 minutes are recommended with 48 minutes being a maximum. 3. erythin Ligh After a relaxed sitting posture, the first step is to practice breathing (Pranaayaam); inhale, retain the breath, exhale in the ratio of 1:2:1, i.e inhale with a count of 8, then retain the breath with a count of 16 and exhale with a count of 8. This exercise is repeated, say 12 times. Once you are relaxed, you can contemplate your daily life. The following checklist of five 'lower' vows should set up a structure: "Ahimsaa" being the main principle. The aim is to reinforce your identification with your "Higher Self". I radiate light to everyone and everything I am Light and only Light can come to me I am Infinite Knowledge Infinite Perception Infinite Bliss Infinite Energy Know * Adapted from Chitrabhanu, "Pratikraman Meditation" Divine Knowledge Society, Mumbai. 11 www.yjf.org.uk www.ysf.org.uk

TWELVE REFLECTIONS The twelve mental reflections engaged upon are given below. The traditional approach makes them rather negative but Chitrabhanu has stated them in a more positive manner. Here, the two approaches are integrated (see, Mardia 2016). 1. Impermanence: There is impermanence of everything surrounding one but there is unchanging soul beneath the changing body. 2. Helplessness: We are helpless in the face of death but the inner invisible force always lives. 3. Cycle of Rebirth: Liberation from the cycle of rebirth is possible. 4. Aloneness: There is the absolute solitude of each individual as he goes through this cycle and therefore one should achieve dependence only on oneself. 5. Beyond Body: The soul and body are separate and we are more than just corporeal. We must seek the true meaning of life through the existence of the soul. 17 www.yjf.org.uk 6. Impurity: How even the most physically attractive body contains impurity. 7. Karmic Fusion: How karmic influx happens and how to stand apart and watch the inflow. 8. Karmic Shield: How such influx happens and how to close the window when the storm, in the form of the Four Passions, is about to come. 9. Total Karmic Decay: How karmic matter within the soul may be shed so that the soul may be cleaned to move towards permanent reality. 10. Universe: The universe is eternal and uncreated, hence each person is responsible for his own salvation - for there is no God to intervene. 11. Rarity of True-Insight: True-Insight is rarely attained and human embodiment bestows the rare privilege and opportunity to attain moksha. 12. Truth of Jain Path: The truth of the teachings of the Tirthankaras which leads to the goal of eternal peace through understanding one's own true nature. 18 www.yjf.org.uk

You uphold the cause of the down-trodden and underprivileged, you bring bliss to the world. You enlighten your devotee (Shiva Ram) who has taken refuge in you. For next twelve years, you observed austerities rigorously, and conquered your inner enemies, You acquired the supreme knowledge in which the Universe was shining, you entered a blissful state. 27 28 www.yjf.org.uk www.ysf.org.uk

WORSHIP BY LAMPS OF FIVE SUPREMES In the fifth aarti, we pay our respects to saadhus, who help us destroy false knowledge and show the path to Nirvana. This "auspicious" aarti explains that when we bow down to these five "Supremes", we gain ultimate happiness. In the sixth aarti, we pay our respects to those who follow the eleven renunciation stages, when a shraavak bows to them, shraavak experiences happiness. In the first aarti, we pay our respects to the conquerors of inner enemies, who will help us cross the ocean of the world of misery. In the seventh aarti, we pay our respects to Jain ultimate goal of liberation teaching, which leads us to the right path of the ultimate goal of liberation. In the second aarti, we pay our respects to the perfect souls: simply thinking about them will help us break the cycle of birth and death. Thus says the poet Dhyanat In the third aarti, we pay our respects to the spiritual masters, who will help us remove all the pains related to birth and death. In the fourth aarti, we pay our respects to the teachers of mankind; seeing their faith and knowledge will help remove the negative karmic matter. 35 www.yjf.org.uk www.ysf.org.uk

Maratee viriyaan jeev ko, koyi na raakhan haar. 3. Daam bina nirdhan dukhee, trushnaa-vasa dhanavaan. Kahun na sukh sansaar main, sab jag dekhyo chhaan. 4. Aap akelo avatarai, marai akelo hoy. Yun kabahun iss jeev ko, saathi sagaa na koy. 5. Jahaan deh apanee nahin, tahaan na apano koy. Ghar sampati par prakat ye, par hain parijan loy. 6. Dipai chaam-chaadar madhi, haadh peenjara deh.

If a true teacher comes along and wakes me up, only then will this attachment-induced sleep go away, and only then will the karmic thieves be stopped from gaining any entry. Unless I am proactive in filling up my lamp of knowledge with the oil of austerity and cleansing my house (soul) of doubts, these resident thieves (my previous karmic matter) will not go. Following the five great vows and the five types of watchfulness ('samiti') will help me conquer the five senses and set in motion the full process of karmic decay. Twelve Reflections 1. The kings, the great warriors, the emperors and the elephant riders, all die one day, each turn by turn. 2. At the time of death, no one can prevent the soul from leaving, not any physical power, nor gods, goddesses, mother, father or family. 3. Poor people are unhappy because they do not have money, and rich people are unhappy, spell-bound by the insatiable desire for wealth. There is no happiness in this world. I have searched every nook and corner. 4. You came here alone, you will die alone. In a true sense, this soul does not have any friend or relative. 5. Your body is not your own, nor is anything your own. The house and the wealth are obviously not yours, but even the family members are not yours. 6. This beautiful body is simply a bone structure caged in a bed sheet of leather, and there is no dirtier place than this body in the whole world. 7. The people are wandering forever in an attachment induced sleep. Karmic thieves are everywhere; we are unaware that they are plundering all our soul's power. 10. This occupied universe (Cosmic Man, fourteen 'raju' tall) has been full of living beings since time immemorial. These living beings have been wandering aimlessly without(true) knowledge. 11. It is easy to gain prosperity, gold, and kingdoms; the only thing that is not easily available in the world is true ultimate knowledge. 12. Seeking the wishing tree, which gives every happiness, I spent nights in thinking and worrying what I should ask for. Then I realized that one gets happiness without seeking and without worrying. www.yjf.org.uk www.yjf.org.uk

Letter of appreciation by Dr. L.M. Singhvi, Former High Commissioner of India to UK 4444444444444444444444444 INDIA HOUSE, ALDWYCH, LONDON, W.C.2 Dear Professor Mardia, Many thanks for sending me your Jain Thoughts and Prayers, a little pocket book which exemplifies the ancient Indian metaphor of "Ocean in a Pitcher". You have captured and encapsulated the wisdom of the ages and the living quintessence of thought and prayer enshrined in Jain tradition and heritage. I am sure the book will appeal to Jains and others at every level of awareness and attainment. My congratulations and best wishes. With my warm regards. 29th June, 1992 L.M.
