'Swentamber Jains' canonical texts coming down on the basis of correct utterances, audition from Guru to the disciples, were reduced to writing in the fifth century A.D., narrate the birth of Lord Mahaveer in B.C. 599 on Chaitra Sudi 13. He was of 'Gyatra-Kul' a Ksahatriya prince of Kundgram Vaishali, which is about 43 KM. from Patana, then ruled by Srenik- Bimbasar- so mentioned in 'Dassa- SutSkandh' (Jain text) or Bimbasar in Buddhist texts. Nirgrantha or 'Jin' meant getting rid of passionsaversions and attachments. The parents of Mahaveer followed the 'ChaturyanDharma'- fourfold religion. Non violence, Truth, Nonstealing and Non Possession (Ahimsa, Satya, Achaurya and Aparigrapha of Lord Parswanth born 250 years before Mahaveer.) As per Jain mythology the 22nd

The cosmic time division in Jains is in 6 aeons each of descending and ascending order. The first era of a descending order (Avasarpani) is Sushama-Shushama, Sushama, Sushama-Dushama, Dushama-Sushama, Dushama, Dushama-Dushma. Each consisting of four crore (sagaropam) years, (i.e. beyond calculation) 3 crore-crore, 2 Crore- Crore, 1 Crore less by 42000 years consisting of four aeons. The fiftth one 21000 ordinary years and this sixth one of 21000 ordinary years respectively. The Ist Tirthankara Rishabhdey was born in Illrd aeon and attained salvation three year and 8.5 months before the end of the Iird era. So also Mahaveer attained 'Nirvana'in the same period before the end of the IVth era. Except Rishabdeo all Tirthankares belonged to the IVth era. The account of all 24 Tirthankares and remaining 39 great personages has been given by: 'Kalikal- Sarvagya' Hamachandrcharya in his treatise - 'Trishast Salgha- Purush.' The others are 12 Chakravartis, 9 Baldeos, 9 Vasudeos as and 9 pratiVasudeos. Baldeo's brother was Vasudeo Krishna, who belonged to the period of Tirthankare 'Neminath'. Rishabdeo finds mention in 'Bhagwat Purana' and Vishnu Puran'. No other Tirthankars figure in Hindutexts. There is a distinct Jain- Ramayan, called 'Padma Charitra' of 'Padma Purana'. Padma is the Jain name of 'Ram'. In Jain Ramayana the account of 'Padma' given in Trishasti Salgha- Purush', Laxman is held 'NarayanVasudeo' and Ram is Baldeo, Ravana being 'prati

In a Diagmber Ramayan Sita was the daughter of Mandodari, the wife of Ravana who fearing some evil foreboding sent her on her birth to Mithila and got her buried in the land, there. She was found by king Janak while tilling a field and was brought up by him. The rest of the legend is almost the same. JAINISM & VEDIC RELIGION: The Jain religion differs from Vedic religion which emphasized rites like animal sacrifices to appease Gods and dieties to go to heaven after death. Purohits served medium to utter correct 'Mantras' and perform ablutions. 'Someras- drink' offered all heavenly joys and pleasures on earth itself. Jainism had no place for priest- crafts, animal- sacrifices, rituals and Somras drinks etc. The prime of place in 'Nirvan' went to Kshastriya-trithankars instead of Brahmin- priests. Jains adopted non- vedic concepts of Meditation from 'Yogshastra', Atomic particles and their indestructibility of 'vaishashik' and 'samkhaya' respectively. Their preceptors "Kapil and "Kanad' were also called 'Tirthankars'. The division into 'Brahmin', 'Kshastriya', 'Vaishya', and 'Shudra' is based on our actions and not on castes (Uttaradhana 25/312, 313). The division based on birth through castes, breeds ego and vanity. Virtues and merits alone are worthy. Sutrakratang' in Agmic text (Ilnd part 6th chapter/44) gives an account of discussion of Ardrak Muni with a Vedic Purohit who says, "One who feeds two thousand disciples earns virtues and attain Heaven". Ardrek controverts him. "Feeding two thousand sacred cats (Brahmins- if engaged in animal sacrifices)

Harikeshibal Muni was Chandal or untouchable by birth but was highly venerated being. Mere cropping of hair, or utterance of 'OM', 'OM' would entitle no one to be, 'Sraman or Brahamin' respectively. It is equanimity- 'Samata' and delving deep in soul, living as per its dictates would call one 'Sraman or "Brahmin". CHARACTERISTIC EVENTS OF MAHAVEER'S LIFE: (Bhagawati- Sutra Agam) gave a graphic account through a query from Gautam; the principal disciple of Mahaveer, to him, "why is it so that when Devananda and her husband Rihabhudtta - Brahmin joined the congregation to pay their obesiance to Lord Mahaveer, Devnanda stood intently gazing the Lord, her bodice tightened, breasts secreted-oozing milk, hair stood on their ends. She felt such exhilaration as a kadamb tree blossomed suddenly after rains?" Mahaveer himself clarified, to Gautam "this Brahmin- lady 'Devnanda'; is my mother, looking- at me full of motherly compassion because my first birth was through her." Mahaveer at the age of thirty renounced world, pulled up his hair by his first undertaking, vow to schew actions inculcating sins henceforth. He dedicated himself to conquer passions of anger, pride, concert, deciet, and aversion, by undertaking severe most penances. He felt great was the burden of past sins-accumulated of previous births and exemplary effort of penances was called for. He would not lag behind in 'manliness. He even mentioned it in 'Acharang Agam,' "It was highly difficult and improbable elsewhere; as I could destroy the mighty

In the very first rain-stay at Asthigram (of his 42 rain stay of his ascetic life) he took up challenge to test his soul force, through means of utter fearlessness and nonviolence. It came from Yaksha-Shoolpani, (a demi-God turned violent through hellbent hatred of persons of the ill fated village Asthigram). The legend is that poor bullock was subject to grave cruelty first by the greedy trader harnessing it in bullock-cart heavily laden with goods, wading through a torrental river. The ox was almost broken, left in the village to be looked after by the villagers against the maintenance given by the trader. Through sheer callous neglect and misappropriation of maintenance, the ox died decrepit, turning into Yakhsha Shoolpani, in next birth who rained pestilence, famine, disease and death on the village and turned it into a heap of bones. Mahaveer was subjected to all torments, stings, and firey attacks but delivered Yaskha, from pangs of anger and retribution, ultimately. His other four months stays were as under. ChampaPithi (3), Vaishali- Baniyagram (12), Ragriha & Nalanda (14), Mithila (6), Badidhitte (2), Albiya (1), Paniya Bhumi (1), Sravasti (1) and Pava (1). On being beaten by a cowherd for not getting his bullock, Indra appeared to protect him to whom Mahaveer said the path of selfrealisation seeks no dependence. It has been ever treaded alone and would always be so. He under took fastings (without any food whatsoever and may be many even without water) for 4166 days in a span of 121/2 years almost, leaving only 349 days, in following major spells.

(Even present day there are cases of similar fasting on some lesser scale). The severe most and the longest fast he undertook of 175 days was to deliver the rulers of their lust of war, keeping persons in bondage, including young girls as slaves, plundering, irrespective of close relations. One immediate instance was such heinous actions of the king Kakmuk Shatanik of Kaushambi subjecting the ruler Dadhivan and subjects of Champa to all these atrocities, including abducting the beautiful queen and the princess Chandan Bala. Mahaveer would go for alms from door to door but as per his vow would not accept. Only when such ordeal lasted for long 175 days and nights and could be found one slave girl chained in the dark dingy underground room at its door-way, eager to make offerings of the coarse boiled grains from a winnower. Considering all the conditions of vow (Abhigrah) fulfilled, taking it as divine dispensation Mahaveer accepted the alms. In the long arduous process of penance he also forged the powers of soul over body. In the quest of his liberation, he equally dedicated himself for freedom of women and slaves and without that it was not worth it. So also when he was on the verge of attaining omniscience the extremes of physical sufferings alongwith the rigorous course of fasting and meditation, he underwent. One cowherd seemingly entrusted his pair of bullock, while he was in deep contemplation. On return of the cowherd, not finding his bullock, he felt exasperated, sought angrily his

He was excited with uncontrollable rage and as such thrust two nail like wooden pokers in his ears. At the house of one Siddharth Baniya, Khark-Physician noticed melancholy Mahaveer and with great efforts pulled them out, leaving gushing blood, oozing out. Then at the end of 12/2 years of such austerities at the bank of Rijubalika under a Shall tree on vaishakh Sud 10, he attained ominscience, radiating all the directions with brilliance. Goshalak who had been with Mahaveer, for as long period of six years; during the period of observing penances; was often beaten severally for his curiosities in amorous delights and licentious habits besides Mahaveer and he being at times treated spies of some king and so in sheer desperation he left Mahaveer and after some period would again join him. Goshalak also possesed in some miraculous powers and was head of sect called 'Azivikas' professed fatalism and even proclaimed himself 'Omniscient. Gautam asked Mahaveer about it to whom he said Goshalak does possess powers of 'Tejoleshya' and can destroy some of his enemies but not omniscients. He is not omniscient. Goshalak used Tejoleshya in anger on Mahaveer but after making three rounds of him and causing certain hurt to him entered the body of Goshalak. Yet Goshalak threatened Mahaveer that he would die due to it in six months. Mahaveer said, "It is not truth, I would still be alive for sixteen years though you would die in a week undoubtedly". Goshalak began gulping more and more liquor to assuage, the intense heat he was suffering from and began dancing

JAINS AFTER MAHAVEER: The ardent followers or Principal disciples during Mahaveer's life time were 11 Gandhars, of whom only two Gautam and Sudharma survived Mahaveer; and Gautam too attained salvation immediately after Mahaveer. History knows very little about other Gandhars except Sudharma who lived for 20 years after Veer Nirvan. Most of the canonical texts owe to him as sacred sermons of Mahaveer to Gautam Gandhar and or Sudharma preaching Jambooswami his disciple on their queries. The first six Acharyas (Preceptors) in succession after Mahaveer were (1) Sudharma, (2) Jambu, (3) Prabhava, (4) Shayambhava, (5) Yashobhadra, (6) Bhadrabahu and Sambhut Vijay. It is said that Shayyambha had precognition of the impending death of his son disciple 'Manak'; as such he reduced the entire canonical literature into one text called Dashvaikalik, a faithful representation of it. Bhadrabahu who was the last omniscient, 'Srutkeval', of entire 12'Agam's and 14'Purvas', He however did not impart knowledge of 12th Agam to his disciple 'Sthulibhadra' to be parted with to others. He belonged to the period of Chandragupt Maurya. Ashoka's grandson Sampratti propagated Janism vigourously. Of B.C. 300. credible Jain edicts have been found in Tamil Nadu in Brahmi script- in Madurai and Tinnevali. Within 100 years of Ashoka, Jain religion

The periodical conferences of Jain preceptors took place as follows. One at Pataliputra- 160 years after 'Nirvan' of Mahaveer, under Sthulibhadracharya, resulting in collection of 11 Angas. Then over centuries these were again scattered. Then under 'Arys Skandil', after about 840 years of Mahaveer, such conference of 'Munies' took place at 'Vallabhi' and finally after 980 years of Mahaveer under the aegis of Devardhi- Khsama Sraman. Fortyfive canonical texts were collected, reduced to writing and edited, which are extant, acceptable to different folds of Swetambar branch of Jains in slightly varying numbers (a) Angs are 11, (b) Upangs (12), (c) Prakirns 10, (d) Chhedustra 4, (e) Moolsutra 5 and (f) Two special texts Nandi and Anuyog.

Haribhadra wrote about 444 works, of which 88 are available. "Yogdrashti- Samuchhaya" is his great text. In eleventh century was Sri Hemchandra Acharya (during 1089 to 1173 A.D.) who had to his credit several great works said to be in hundreds of which 'Trishasthi Salagha Purush Charatra', 'Siddha Hemshabda- nushashan', 'Kavya Kumarpal Charitra', are outstanding. During the reign of Akbar was Sri Heer Vijayjee; who was given great ovation in 1582 at Fatehpur Sikri. He was listed amongst the then greatest 21 intellectuals of India in 'Aine-Akbari' in those days. The period of renaissance of Jainsim especially between 1032 to 1439 A.D. was the golden period of Jain architecture and sculpture, also manifested in construction of unparallel temples of Mount.

Those who went to 'OSIYA' were called Oswals, although the 'Gurus' converted them to Jains and not to Porwal a name associated with Pura-gate at Bhimal, or Oswals as such. Amogst Swetambar sect also 'Khartargachha' began in the year 1090AD, who defeated in canonical polemics monks residing in temples. Hence the name. Then in 1289 AD the severe penance undertakers were dissociated to form 'Tapagachha'. 'Anchalgachha', followers keep a piece of cloth in their hands instead of Muhpatt i.e. in place of cloth fastened at the mouth. Then there are 'Trustutik' followers who don't dedicate 4th stanza to demigods or demigoddesses, as only Tirathankars or 'Arhats' overcoming "attachment and aversions', deserve our dedication, unlike 'Four-StutiFollowers'. Venerable Sri Rajendrasuri initiated the tristuti-sect and by writing seven volumes of 'Abhidhan Rajendra kosh', contributed immensely, uniquely to Jain literature by distilling entire Jain texts into dictionary form alphabetically. It is a masterly treatise base, for all students of Jainism. Spiritually dedicated Acharyas like Bhupendra Suri, Dhanchardra Suri and Upadhyay Manmohan Vijay adorned the order besides great historian, literary and spiritual Acharya like Yatendra Suriji. Both of them adore statures of 'Arhats' and worship temple. Unlike that however are 'Sthanaks' and 'Tera Panthi'.

Jayacharya' has been a prolific writer. It is a powerful movement with a well knit- organisation under one Acharya. 'Acharya Tulsi' made great organisational efforts for its expansion. Mahapragya lent it literary and more liberal content. A new order lesser than monk named 'saman' was introduced who could go abroad for teaching, propagating principles of Janism. It is the need of hour. Present Acharya of Terapanth is Mahasramanjee. Diagmbar branch is second major division of Jains. It occurs distinctly as late as 683 years after 'Nirvan' of Mahaveer as per an edict at Sravanbelgola of 1600 AD. The last of preceptors versed in 'Agamic- knowledge' passed away by 683 years.

________________ Glimpses of Hisotry of Jains/60 Kundkund wrote 84 texts in prakrat. He was revered like a 'Gandhar'. Amongst his works are 'Samaysar', 'Pravachansar' and 'Panchastikay'. His disciple was 'Umaswati in 135 AD to 219 A.D., who wrote his works both in Sanskrit and Prakrat. He was revered both by Swetambars and Diagambars. His work 'Tattavarth Sutra' is highly recognised by both sects, which includes logics also. Although he wrote about 500 books but according to Diagmbars a few only are known as 'Pujaprakaran' 'Prasmit' and 'Jambudweep samas'. His disciple was Samantbhadra who wrote commentary on 'Tattavarthsutra' known as 'Devagam' a great work of 'Syadvad'. Last amongst such galaxy of learned ones was 'Akalank' who wrote 'Nyay Vinichaya','Labdhisastra' and 'Swaroop Sambodhan'. 1 The philosophy preached by Mahaveer and Jainsim coming down since ages, has served as bed-rock of this religion undergoing little change, firmly embedded in the frame work laid down by scriptures. Thus basically there is little difference between Digambar and Swetambar sects, except on some of the details as follows, worth mentioning. 1. Digambars do not think Mallinath, the 19th Tirthankar to be a female as considered by Swetambars. In fact Digambars rigidly believe that no female, I untouchable and householder can ever achieve salvation. It might be due to the influence of Hindu puritans. It is most unlike Swetambars and even probably against the tenor of Jain philosophy which entitles all alike for reaching that state.

This too is academic as both sects think that hardly anyone can attain it after Jambu Swami. Hence even the difference of opinion of Digambars with Swetambars that Omniscients 'Kevali' before giving up body, do not partake meal or need to do ablutions, is not of practical value. 3. Digambars unlike Swetambers think, the embryo of Vardhaman not having been transplanted from the womb of Devnanda to Trishala, nor Mahaveer having married or begot a daughter 'Priyadarshani, and so on; other differences are still less significant. In the world of sculpture, Digambars have left monumental images of 'Bahubaljee - one such is at 'Sravanbelgola' 17 meters high built in 931 A.D. by Chamandrai. There is another such image 37 feet high built at Venur in 1603 A.D. There is Treasure-Hall of Hoishayala kings who also got built temples dedicated to 24 Tirthankars. In northern India a cluster of famous Jain temples is at Khajurao - One such temple is 'Parswanath' comparable to famous 'Kand Mahadeo'. Another such cluster is at 'Deogarh' consisting thirty one Jain temples which have more than thousand statues, one of which is praised as the finest one in India. Such is the great heritage of Jainism forcing us to ponder over our sources of unity. Despite. many schisms let us question ourselves how near or far are we from Mahaveer. May we call ourselves his real followers or are we merely like 'Goshalak' or an unwanted piece of cloth attached to Mahaveer to be shed , earlier the better, as Goshalak lived so close and so long with Mahaveer, yet

________________ GUNSTHANA In Jain philosophy, 'Gunsthana' indicates fourteen stages of spiritual- development leading to final goal i.e. liberation of soul from entire karmic burden. The subject is well dealt with by authorities like 'Umaswati' in 'Tattavarth' and commentary on it, besides by eminent scholar, Pujya Pad Devanandi. A summary account of each stage, as actually experienced by pilgrims of the Path, the seekers to salvation is as follows: 1. Mithyadrasti gunsthan:- It is the nadir stage of soul when it is not conscious even of its existence much less of its goal. It revels in the realm of only senses i.e. palate, sight, hearing, smell and touch and is therefore subject to the gravest or virulent forms of tenacious passions of anger, pride, greed, lust. As a beast, it reacts to all situations, without applying discretion or self- control, lacking introspection. Hence indulgence in the gravest violence etc., little knowing the consequence of courting hell or life of sub-humans. Mahveer said 'thou is noneless than one, thou is killing'. This endless chain of consequential births, goes on uninterruptedly. It is steeped in pervert outlook. 2. IInd stage is called Saswadan, it is higher to 1st stage but is acutally reached in course of descent

It gives an after taste of those merits earlier achieved, as one feels on vomiting sweet kheer (Porridge). 3. 3rd stage is Samyag Mithyadrasti, when the soul at 1st stage has suffered incalculably, getting as the stones in the river-bed, rounded in ages, the soul gets glimpses of right and wrong. It is at crossroad to choose which path to move, in it is a mixed feeling, a state of indecision, to adopt upward or downward course. 4. The soul reaching the IVth stage i.e. on the suppression of virulent, forms of anger, pride etc and introspection, 'Avirat-samyag-drasti' realizes a radical change in it's attiutde and views. It is real foundation of the edifice of liberation because it cares for truth, has an enlightened world of things and a will to practise the principles i.e. Deshvirat gunsthan. 5. In the Vth stage the individual willingly undertakes vows like nonviolence, truth, non stealing, non acquisition (or limiting extent of it) and abstinence even (from family). 6. At VI stage, 'pramattaa samyat' he realizes that the lure of family bondage comes in his rising further and therefore the value of vows in staunch form, dawns on him, say following actively these vows himself or stopping dereliction for him or through others, or even disapproving the trangressions by

________________ Gunsthana/104 third persons. This stage is that of monkhood, yet not free from subconscious acting or indulgences. 7. Then in the Vilth stage 'Apramatta samyat not only does he observe vows in it is entirety, but guards himself against relapsing in sloth, slumber, act of slander, and his subconscious getting better of him for feminine proclivity etc. The journey to over-come fully the instinctual passions is still ahead. 8. The spiritual activity at the eighth and the ninth stages moves with great pace, every time unit successively arranging karmic particles in such a way that they get exhausted/reduced in geometric progression. 9. Such experience is uniform at the ninth stage also at every successive time unit in still aggravated form befitting a yogi. The stage is unprecedented for loosening karmic shakles and only in the VIII and IX stage of 'apurvakaran Nivrati badar 3tyd they fagfa bAdara and anivrattibadar anivRti bAdara passions are almost overcome. It is through deep pious and the purest meditations. The feelings are so intense to achieve liberation that if one ascends, Ksapaksreni the ladder of the noblest thought and determination to root out karmas, it achieves emancipation in that life itself or else inevitably descends to lower stage and ultimately to take 'kshayik Samyaktva' course to reach 'moksha' in that life or next ones. 10. & 11. The other course of suppression leads to Xth stage of 'suksam samparayay' i.e. not yet shedding flickering greed, although ridding of all other

It is only the Ksapaks reni' mentioned above, which enables one to reach kSINa kaSAya moha 'Ksheen Kashay moh' of having annihilated the passions of view and conduct- delusions i.e. Mohaniya karm the commander in chief of all the karms. 13. This results in elimination of other destructive karms like 'Gyanvarniya, Darshanavarniya' and lastly Antarary culminating in dawning of Kewal- Gyan i.e. omniscience. The XIII stage is that of 'Arihants' at this stage, they preach principles of universal truth of self-conquering i.e. Jina'. 14. Lastly is the stage of shedding of remaining karmas of sensation, life, name and clan. At times when these remaining non obstructive-karmas survive longer than one's life-span, the soul undertakes a process of kewali- Samudghat i.e. equalization of all these to the life- span, by stretching these karmas in a moment to length and breadth of entire cosmos and in next moments withdrawing and getting rid of them. The soul then leaves the body forever, surges simultaneously instantaneously to siddha-Shila achieving liberation, ever retaining its inherent characterstics of omniscience, Omnipotence and Omni-bliss etc.

________________ MESSAGE OF TATTVARTH SUTRA A great erudite Acharya Umasvati wrote 'Tattvarth Sutra', the monumental work about two thousands years ago. It is the first jain -sanskrit - treatise, epitomizing entire Agamic i.e. canonical literature which is held as its magnum-opus, condensed in only 344 stanzas, consistently with brevity and clarity. 'Little wonder, it is acceptable to both Digambars and Swetambars with their all schisms 'Pujya-Pad of Digambars wrote a long commentary 'Sarvath-Siddhi', on it and so did Siddha Sen Gani of Swetambars. Mine is an humble attempt to translate 'Tattvarth 'both in Hindi and English and explain its core for the benefit of persons trying to understand deeper meaning of human life and its endeavor to spiritual progress, as envisioned and lived by the great author-cum-preceptor. He even intended spreading the message to all humanity, through those who tried, imbibing it and in course would earn blessings of the Lord. Many great persons have realized soul power, and limits of physical and material means. In this clay cast mould of our body, lies the soul also. Without treating

________________ Message of Tattvarth Sutra/148 them antithetic , the body is to be tempered by soul - force to make it a fit instrument, to make our body a temple of God, a repository of human values to achieve self realization . With this brief introduction a summary of contents of this work, chapter wise is given below. This is the goal laid down in the first verse of chapter of 'Tattvarth', 'Samvyag Darsan, Gyan, Charitrani, Moksha Marg'. It is in the combined pursuit of all three jewels of right faith, right knowledge and conduct, that the path of emancipation lies. Even then right-faith has prime of place -which means to have discerning capacity to grasp truth, sift it from falsehood, a scientific temper to judge objectively, an enlightened - world -view, bordering 'Anekant', i.e. non absolutism shedding ego, anger, greed and prejudices, humility to appreciate not only 'said' but even 'unsaid. Things apparently contradictory or opposites may be complementaries as labour and rest, man and women, every atom of magnet with north and south pole, democracy of treasury and opposite benches and so is body and soul. Truth is many faceted. The condition of right -faith entails discipline of eschewing such 'karmas' through resolve and efforts which will spur obedience to learned ones, resulting in imparting clarity of understanding texts including sacred ones. It would prompt eagerness to learn thoroughly if not exhaustively. On further flowering it might intuitively yield extra- sensory, 'Avadhigyan', perception or still higher achievements of knowing simple and complex thoughts- processes and views of others and lastly one becoming omniscient on destruction of all infatuations,

Mere knowledge with right faith may lead to even diabolical results, even perversity of out- look and thinking as given in 1:33 following a course exactly opposite to truth and right one. 'Tattvarth' exhorts us to follow right- faith a remarkable quality of soul, 'reason detaire', principles of natural- justice , in short our conscience. It will guide us to avoid pit-falls of senses, running riot or unbridled passions leading a licentious life of depravation, sloth and allurements only. In the light of right faith and knowledge, right conduct will follow suit, cheerfully and willingly, not to be imposed like cut flowers. : Second chapter deals with five stages of soul; the highest one is Kshayik i.e unshakeable determination to annihilate all 'karmas' past and present to achieve selfrealization in this life itself. Lesser stage is that of partially destroying and subsidence of karmas, essential even to get higher stage of knowledge by willing obedience and gratefulness to such learned ones. Still lesser degree is that of claiming them as they arise, as if the dust settles in water and making it clean. Fourth stage is that of reacting as per maturing or rising of karmas, driven by that process of suffering consequences and binding of new karmas instinctively in a chain reaction. Last one is dependent on evolution of soul, over its cycles of births and deaths. The soul is further conditioned by senses it enjoys. One sense being is a virus, or such organism- bacteria,

________________ Message of Tattvarth Sutra/150 two sensed as 'worm', three sensed as 'ants' , four sensed as bumble- bee and even five sensed as subhumans have mostly instinctive life , with a little capacity to move out of conditioned existence. It is the human life alone, offering bright prospects - even of deliverance. Chapter third and fourth deal with hells and heavens which are part of existence finding place almost in all philosophies. One special characteristic of hells given in this work is not only long- long spells of tortures, maiming and mayhems but even added ones, by fiendish gods (asurs) provoking them to ever fight mutually, they ever attempting to convert body to avoid pain, yet meeting more agony. Chapter fourth succinctly deals with four classes of Gods (devta; unlike perfect liberated ones) mansion - dwelling, forest dwelling, luminous and empyreans. They all are hierarchical. Some of the mansion -dwelling and forest dwelling are fiendish type, enjoying teasing, tormenting helt -dwellers up to third hell. They include Asukumar - Demon, devil and goblins[4.6], besides twelve types of higher gods Saudharm and Ashian etc[4.20] . Up to Ashian all gods are given to fun and frolic and indulge in sex. Beyond that, the Gods are of greater restraint and therefore of greater life - spans, influence, joy, brightness, purity, and lesser inclination to visit other places, or cravings for sex, or possessions, egotism etc[4.21], [4.22]. even if the description given in the Third and Fourth chapter may elude such discovery yet, the earth it self provides enough object lessons of slums- hovels or brim stones of mental agonies; afflicting the mundane existence, and otherwise.

________________ 151/stat at piferat saert, gata, Gabr tai dalifatch 3TTER Chapter fifth emphasizes immutability of six substances i.e. 1. soul, 2. matter, 3.forces of motion and 4. rest i.e. gravitation, 5. space, 6. and time pervading entire universe (5:2] and [5:3]. Whereas they are in their nature, their modes undergo changes. Origination, cessation and permanence constitute reality [5:29]. Atoms are formed both by splitting and fusion[5:26], earlier sub-atom-proton was considered the lightest particle- light consisted particles or waves which moved at the highest known speed. 'Large - Hadrons - Collider', CERN experiment is being conducted in Europe in 27 kilometers tunnel / colliding protons at a speed of near light bombarding them to create condition of big-bang. Stephen Hawking calling it 'Higgs boson' or 'God's particle'. Such lighter particles now known to modern physics resemble the phenomenon of 'Karma' or Tejas bodies or "karma-varganas" unchecked by anything when they move to next birth along with soul. These weightless particles being named in physics as quark, gluons ,are lighter than proton. Thus the vision held by such spiritual gurus, two thousand and six hundred years ago, especially without equipments was, indeed remarkable. Law of Karma is in escapable. Higgs Boson has been identified recently ;it enables other weightless particles to gather mass, a property resembling that of life and soul. Thus substance of sixth and eighth lesson is primarily of reaping consequences of what we sow , especially for the motives and means we adopt to act. Mainly there are eight types of different acts of life which constitute bed-rock of karma philosophy, elaborately given in eighth chapter. Even the right faith is both inborn

________________ Message of Tattvarth Sutra/152 as well as strengthened by shedding of ignorance [agyan]-false beliefs, superstitions, dogmas, indulgence in pride, prejudices and passions. It is fortified by vows and practice for their riddance. One's right-faith and knowledge suffers due to indulgence in slander, belittling, harbouring jealousy against wise persons. We earn Vedniya karma' by causing grief, hurt, agony killing or harming any being. On the contrary to it benefiting, doing kindness, grace, we earn merit reward of happiness in our life. Then there is 'Mohaniya karma'i.e. deluding - karma based on attachments and passions to be eradicated by meditation and introspection. Another equally obstructive karma is 'Antaray'; always retarding our potential to charity, beneficence, service etc. Lesser ones are our body -karma creating complete fit, fine strong and able body or otherwise, so our status depends inversely on whether we indulged in self praise; blowing our horns, even deriding others' merits and thereby inviting lower scale or status in next birth as well. The chapter eighth is only an elaboration of the sixth one delineating eight types of karmas .It further summarizes the root causes of them and they are as per 8:1 false beliefs , non abstinence, indulgences, innate passions and body and soul acting relatively together called 'yoga' i.e. another four fold division of these eight types are their basic nature, duration, intensity and amount of karm. pudgals or matter determining consequences. Further broad subdivisions of these eight types of karmas are given . Most important classification is of four obstructive karmas i.e. clouding the inherent qualities of soul of its right knowledge, faith and conduct

They cause sensation of pain and pleasure of causing life -spans as per [8:11] or body karma (8:12] or lastly status determining. Lastly is one more division which is of binding auspicious or otherwise karmas[8:26). The seventh chapter essentially lays down means of restraint to avoid falling prey to eight types of karmas . The five fold vows exist in all eastern philosophies, especially Hindu and Buddhist religions, also called great vows of truth, non violence, non stealing , abstinence and non possession or limiting it largely. Further supplemental to strengthen these great vows have been laid to avoid transgression by oneself or done through others or even by approving acts etc. done by others and so done by one's body, mind or even through speech. One should understand very-very clearly that the violence will be met with violence ultimately causing utter ruin and misery(7:5). Bible also says 'those who wield sword will be slain by sword'. Man with malice cannot observe vows which are the preserve of pure heart. Whole effort is to live and let live, have peaceful coexistence and preserving ecology. (7:13). Lastly the ultimate goal of life is given to calmly brave the death when there is no way out at all by piously submitting to equanimity, delving on the permanence of soul and it has potency to be God when it is in pure form. In the ninth chapter a set of penances have been prescribed to avoid binding of new karmas or to destroy past- bound karmas .They are interalia five 'samities' or do's and three 'gupties'-donts' to be vigilant in walking,

To strengthen this process twelve types of introspections of permanent truths have been suggested i,e. body's transient, solitary, shelterless and perishable nature, its filthy contents, goal lying elsewhere, way out is self restraint etc. So are ten attributes of religion i.e. of soul's noble quality of forgiveness, humility ; candour, versus cunning practices , truth ,abstinence , purity ,sacrifice etc.[9:6] . Besides this twelve types of penances have been prescribed - fasting, eating frugally than gormandizing on delicious food, limiting frivolous activities, courting physical- hardships, deliberate isolation for concentration, willing obedience to learned and voluntary service to the needy, study of scriptures, introspection and pious meditation. These are effective remedies for purging soul of its impurities for emancipation. Last tenth chapter is brief one of seven stanzas only : It explains release of the soul earthly thralldom when it has been rid of all four obstructive -karmas, gaining omniscience, in the life time of the conqueror and shedding ultimately four minor karmas- sensation , life - span, body and status also; if necessary by process of * 'samudgaht'. Thus, the soul instantaneously reaches the pinnacle i.e. "Siddhshila' of this 'lok' or cosmos or ever enjoying omniscience, omnipotence and omnibliss.

________________ karmabandhana ke kAraNa evaM kSaya tatvArtha ke Aloka meM/170 MEANING:- The great rishies i.e. asceties, by shedding karmas have gained omniscience i.e. 'kewal' and so are 'Arhats' having destroyed soul-impedingkarmas i.e. knowledge, faith, conduct and soul's potencyobscuring Karmas. They have preached and guided path of emancipation. This knowledge being handed over to their immediate disciples of great learning and sacrifices, was reduced to twelve canonical texts like 'Acharang' etc called knowledge through 'audition' i.e. 'Srut'. Then vast commentaries were added to it, called 'Upang' by great scholarly saints. Four fold order was formed of male and female saints and male and female laytees. The religion being followed by them is based on non-violence, abstinence and penances. There are four types of Gods and Goddesses as mentioned earlier in Chapter4:1. To malign such faith or scriptures, talk evil of all of them or any one of them, is to commit sin which results in influx of faith, deluding karmas, which will obscure vision and truth or its further discovery. kaSAyodayAttIvrAtmapariNAmazcAritramohasya (6.15) artha- kaSAyoM ke udaya se jo AtmA ke tIvra kulaSita pariNAma hote haiM, unase cAritra mohanIya karma kA Asrava hotA hai| kaSAya-krodha, mAna, mAyA, lobha haiN| upakaSAya- hAsya, rati, arati, bhaya, zoka, jugupsA, strIveda, purUSaveda evaM napuMsaka veda haiN| ina upakaSAyoM kI utejanA se kaSAya aura bhar3akate haiN| unake kAraNa sacce deva, guru, dharma kI niMdA, bure vrata evaM burI Adata haiN| duHkhI logoM kA upahAsa karane yA tyAgI evaM vratiyoM kA upahAsa, gaMde, khelakUda, krIr3A meM rUci lene yA vidUSakoM kI taraha auroM kA

________________ AN APPRAISAL OF GANDHI AND HIS IDEAS Gandhi was a real Baniya extracting such treasure trove from his life as to deserve the title of 'Man of the Millennium'. U.N. Observing unanimously his birthday as the day of non violence; so dear to him. Albert Einstein paid glowing homage to the effect that, "the coming generation of mankind would scarcely believe that such a man in flesh and blood trod on this earth". Roma in Rolland, clamored for privilege of serving the king of India Gandhiji; who visited France while returning from London to home after attending Round Table Conference there with George; the king of the Greatest Empire. French Author Dominique Lepierre has given graphic details on Gandhi in a searching appraisal in the famous book, "Freedom at Mid-Night". Some of them are as follows: A quarter century of his inspired leadership offered through non-violent, Civil-Disobedience-Movement, agitations and protests, courting of imprisonments on

Gandhi however was dead against the partition, as he said to Jinnah, "Cut me into two before you cut India into two." Jinnah was adamant, "there are two Indias a Hindu India and a Moslem-India, we would have India divided or India destroyed". He and Moslem -League called for direct action, leaving 6,000 persons dead, in bitter communal violence first in Calcutta, then spread far and wide at many places in India. This titanic dance went on for over a year. Gandhi at one point of time offered Mount Batten; the Viceroy, the entire India to Jinnah but cautioned him not to name him for the proposal, lest he should say it is from wily Gandhi. At the age of 76 he undertook fast unto death in Calcutta and achieved miracle. What a million force under Mount Batten could not achieve, the communalharmony was restored there when all the parties agreed to shun violence and goondas surrendered their weapons howsoever shortly. The conflagration of violence spread to delta region of Ganga and Brahamputtra; very difficult inaccessible area for formation of islands. Gandhi visited Rampur, then Noakhali area on foot, covering about 47 villages and over 112 miles unarmed with sore feet, having chillburn and blisters. He stayed preferably in a Moslem hut if not given shelter he would stay beneath a hospitable

God willed otherwise to test further these people. South Africa was used as laboratory for testing his ideas in context of perfecting his weapons of non - violent movements to fight for rights of Indians there. He already suffered brick-bats, blows, kicks, humiliations, and even imprisonment for 249 days during his struggle for 21 years there. First such encounter to bolden him was the brutal treatment at Maritzburg Railway Station to be thrown out of the First Class Compartment, during a very cold night. He mused and prayed the God of Geeta. With dawn, came courage and fortitude to carry on the struggle for decades there and ultimately on going through Unto the Last (by Ruskin) became capable to renounce his lucrative practice of earning of $5000 annually and possessions. He had befriended Gopal Krishan Gokhale then itself and till then worked under his guidance since arrived in 1914 in India. He travelled far and wide in India with his mouth shut and ears open for 2-4 years on Gokhale's advice and felt for India himself. He dwarfed all other leaders by his organizational skills, staunch faith in his novel means of non-violent-civil-disobedience-movement, selflessly and sacrifices earning title of "Mahatma" from the world renowned poet-Ravindra Nath Tagore. His was astoundingly successful movement in Champaran in Bihar for ameliorating the worst conditions of Indigo-Workers of foreign-planters. Then raising his

Then Kheda Satyagraha and at the top of it DandiMarch witnessed by the world reporters an unarmed man walking with a bamboo staff, trod from Sabarmati to Dandi to pick up a handful of salt to challenge the mighty British Empire, braving lathi blows of its forces. He suffered imprisonment for freedom struggle for 2089 days in various Indian jails and so many others, courted arrest on mass-scale fearlessly. He made India fear-free from the clutches of imperialist-rule which left India ravaged by cyclical famines, taking toll in millions, reducing majority of people to dire poverty, leaving them half-naked, halfstarved. His fasting technique proved disastrous to the British Rule. When Churchill derided him as half naked Fakir, striding the steps of Buckingham Palace to parley on equal terms, his was the characteristic reply, that "the king wore enough for me and my semi-naked people." Mount Batten; then serving Viceroy, rightly predicted in his lifetime that Gandhi would go down in history at par with 'Christ and Buddha'. Round-Table-Talks were bound to fail and agitations against British Raj again made him 'Guest of King of British Empire', this time at Yervada Jail. He undertook fast unto death. His condition worsened Viceroy sent cable to Churchill who petulantly replied "has he not yet died"? Even funeral pyres were secretly arranged in Agha Khan Palace. Churchill's Order was to crush him and all he stands for, because he knew that the loss of India to the empire would be fatal. India being the jewel in the

He instructed in his own snobbish way the bureaucrat I.C.S.officers to ignore welfare of India, to enjoy its steel frame, maintain a distance from locals, pamper princes and kings of India, who accepted their hospitality and enjoyed birds and wild life shooting ;for whom Gandhi felt ashamed of their silken robes, pearl necklaces and pass times of harems for sex. It is mentioned that Raja of Patiala Bhupendra Singh had 350 choicest ladies in his harem. King of Gwalior shot 1100 tigers in his life time almost equal to present tiger population in India for which world is striving to conserve them for protecting environment. There is much to write about the man of the millennium but suffice to end the article for brevity that he offered Mount Batten accept Congress proposal, to be the first Viceroy of the Independent India for wresting it from Britishers in a unique struggle for it for 35 years, despite a saga of suffering by him and by his country men. Mount Batten said that, it was his greatness'. Gandhi's impact on India and the world is unique. It is quite likely many a young person might be quite unaware of it in their ignorance or due to his appearance. He survives in India after more than 65 years of his passing away ,and may for millennium as India buried deep Jinnah's two-nation-theory of Hindu-India and Muslim-India .We had been following secularism ever since, and so is Indian-Constitution. We had more than 10 All India General and our Assemblies' Election. India

Forty years ago Martin Luther King had a non-violent march in America for the rights of the blacks .Today his dream came true. There is a black President of U.S.A. enjoying the second term and the greatest powers in the world. Racial-segregation has been wiped out in South-Africa where Gandhi had his first lesson in this regard and taught the world a way out from the philosophy of 'tooth for tooth' and 'nail for nail'i.e. against the scourge of nuclear wars.

________________ HOW CAN THE OLD AGE BE MADE HAPPY The title smacks of skepticism if old age could be made happy. Prima-facilely it sounds pessimistic. That old age is condemned to be decrepit one with despair writ large on one's destiny, accompanied as it were with failing health, vision, diseases, ill served by family and little cared by others, hoping against hope to be happy." Is this a real picture of our aged folks in the modern world ? Should we be clouded in our thinking to look old age with despondency? The title unfairly assumes so and yet looks for light. This is the purpose of this article. In the encircling gloom there are not only rays but effulgence of hope, I believe to make old ones happy. I find them as follows. I like to see the positive and the bright side of the picture also. God has been gracious on one to bestow him such long life. Thirty years ago beyond sixty were rare. With increasing longevity due to better health - services and knowledge, the number. beyond sixty years of age has almost doubled if not trebled of earlier ones, mentioned above.

________________ 231/jainoM kA saMkSipta itihAsa, darzana, vyavahAra evaM vaijJAnika AdhAra Human life is a precious -most gift of God and as such long-life enables one to achieve life -long ambitions in this age of knowledge , science , technology and above all freedom realize goals of self expressions - being say a skilled doctor ,surgeon ,eminent engineer jurist, industrialist, educationist, krishi pandit, social worker, yogi or a saint. Old age therefore is a celebration, not a matter of regret .He has carved out a distinguished place in family, in society, if he had lived well which is expected of a human being, under God's bounty. Old age even offers plentiful time for review and atone sins. Such successful old age, a dream coming true, offers beckons of light for younger generations who being human enough, may learn invaluable lessons of life. It is said, "Youth is impetuous and age is discretion", which is better part of valour. The home with such combination would be a boon, an object -lesson for even second generation. Such home rippling with joy and love of children, respect and veneration for the aged ones, catholicity of understanding, would distinctly be a proud Indian home befitting our culture. I am not oblivious of the fact that advanced old age brings in its train enfeebled body naturally. One may be prone then to blood-pressure, diabetes, heart-attacks, arthritis etc., etc. The preventive measures almost common to all, are exercises, 'asans', aerobic, walking etc. I find, keeping oneself engaged in work of one's interest would also help keep one fit, away from worries, tensions, awareness of paucity of time for trivials gives a good sense of proportion.

A golden rule would be 'not to find faults with others, nor have an exaggerated' view about oneself. See merits in others and shortcomings in oneself. Another important thing is to be a realist. In order to keep the pot boiling as you have rightly earned your age, you must have adequate bank balance, to lead a carefree old age. If have still more make your daughters partake your plenty to bring them at least somewhat on par with your son. For all your sweat and hard-work you deserve to provide for leisure, good food, treatment, entertainment, pilgrimage, excursions and hobbies. In Indian conditions, son has a certain priority in your wealth under limits of regard shown, but daughters deserve for their filial leanings besides their abilities .These days girls out shine boys .If there is scope for charity don't miss it because society has elated and elevated you. Every one knows population doubles itself in 25 years whereas land remains static. Investment soundly made there multiplies generally. Reap its harvest, intelligently. Some of the voluntary agencies render service to the community at large e.g. Mahaveer International, Lions and Rotary and other caste organizations, or old age houses.

If we include in our humdrum priorities some of these social services, life would be worth - living, a solace of soul. The greatest charge against old folks is of being reactionaries, against modern liberal and scientific outlook. Although I feel such charge can be levelled even against youth, making it amenable to one who does not have scientific temper, refuses to grow. Enlightenment is the key. The apparent symptoms of a highly conservative and reactionary outlook are- belief in caste -system and its hierarchy, committing sati, keeping women subjugated, illiterate and ill treated, demanding dowry and committing dowry --deaths, child-marriage, deathfeasts etc, etc. Some of the following may appear to be modern traits but are equally pernicious dead ill outlook as habits of drinking, over-eating, consuming fat and excessive calories, sedentary life-style, doing little physical work or exercises, walking, 'asans', pranayams, aerobics, squandering wealth in three W's (women, wine and wrangles). One who has to get rid of such dogmatic fixation as early as one can. 'Many things are wrought by prayer than thought of. Meditation is a source of communication with God.

Last but not least is to little restrain and warm up your behaviour in the family and outside it. You have had your innings, established your identity; let the juniors - your son, daughter-in-law, daughters etc play their role. Promote, assist them if needed, be an onlooker and not an unwanted meddler Your honest advices may mean your unwanted interference, bringing you down in estimation and esteem. So also your behaviour outside .i.e. group of colleagues, be not of superiority, of picking up words of duels and debate. Remember, "You may win an argument but lose a friend". The aim should be to leave a group more friendly and joyous than you found it. In short by engaging in things of personal interest and thereby helping family and society and thereby disengaging from things causing bitterness, you might leave this world a better place than you found it.

________________ BOVINE SLAUGHTER AND BIRD FLU It is really alarming to note that B.S.E. (BovineSpongiform-Encephalopathy); the dreaded 'mad-cowdisease' might imperil eleven million cows as reported in Hindustan Times, years earlier, besides that already 1,60,000 cows have been destroyed due to it. The British Health Secretary, Stephan Dorrel shocked the farming community by confirming that wholesale slaughter was one of the options should there is surge in cases of C.J.D. The human counter part of B.S.E. It is however, important to note that there have been reports of about ten people, had been so far affected and or died. Here also scientific conclusion is lacking. The decision to slaughter live stocks enmass, smacks of frenized panicky, senseless, cruelty. It was being done in the context of main European countries banning import of beef. Total export of beef-annually from Britain is reported to be 2,48,000 tonnes of which major importers are France 80,000 tonnes and Italy 42,000 tonnes. In France the sellers are putting up hoarding of "French beef". Some 10,000 schools in England provide to their children, beef, in their meal and lacs of persons are using

________________ Bovine salughter and bird flu/236 it, the beef-industry is reported to be of four billion pounds, or equal to 22,400 crores of a rupees approximately or even more. Now owing to price rise it may have doubled. The root cause of all this is, the pandering to the palate, of using beef as food derived through butchery. Great thinkers like Bernard shaw, H.G. Wells, Aldous Huxley have contributed much to the cause of vegetarianism but the habits die hard and the message is yet to reach vast sections of population. Otherwise cattle farming would not have degenerated into mainly a 'beefindustry' bereft of all human values from beginning to the end as butchery and beef go together. Enormous cruelty is involved in killing such a big animal as cow. The cows are fed with offal i.e. sheep brain affected by such disease. There is crisis in beef industry and buyers shun it. The prices of beef have crashed, although B.S.E. was there for about last twenty months wihtout taking epidemic form in human beings showing doubtful connection of transmission. Lord Mahaveer's words are prophetic, "It is none else also than thyself, when you intend destroying it". One shudders to think if one would also resort to such ruthlessness on sample checking of AID's in humanbeings. Nature's laws are retributive. This industry is no exception to Malthusian checks. When self-restraint is loosened positive-checks are bound to apply. "Slaughters for profits, madly followed by salughters for survival". This vicious circle should end. Already two world wars have taken their tolls of human misery mainly there. The world cannot afford any more. It is said that even if a day's

Permanent soultion, therefore lies in vegetarianism and eschewing alcohol, as non vegetarian and liquor mutually feed one another. The adhoc measures can be the practice of patience pains-takingly, identifying each cow affected irreversibly. No reckles guillotining entire bovine beings as was done on sparrows in China, or through the decree of Stephen Dorrel to do away with millions of cattles would do. A new leaf can be taken from experience of South Africa and Kenya, where millions of cattles are immunised with vaccines against Rinder pest and Capriopox which took an enormous toll of cattle. Ironically the vaccine was tested first on cows of Surrey (England) In the age of liberalisation and globalization of trade the entrepreneurs of west as well as east and especially those of India should learn lesson from it to eschew slaughters of animals especially by not putting monsters of death i.e. multi crore mechanical slaughter houses and other-like projects of Kentuky Fried fowls for fast food. All animal lovers of the world may like to raise voice in support of the cause of animal citizens of the world for their right to live; as we care for right of human beings.

________________ Bovine salughter and bird flu/238 temper represented by'Spectator' writing in its editorial "Stay sane, eat beef" and the like of "roubst western values writing"- 'To conquer superstition we must now eat British beet" -are cynics ,making out bursts, which are patently perverse and suicidal. Even raising poultry, on large-scale world-wide and consequent epidemic of birds flu recently has caused much loss of human life. It is becoming alarming and heaven knows that despite cruel wholesale destruction of fowls etc in millions, the fatal disease recurs frequently and in severity. World wide destruction of about half of rain forests and potable drinking water tables reaching, rock-botton, it is little wonder that resort to non vegetarianism be regarded as a taboo. It may be in near future, a cause of world war to caputre and own such sources of potable drinking water, as great powers make conflicts for scarce commodity as fuel oil, gas, etc. It is high time they read the message writ large on the wall i.e. of 'vegetarianism', 'of peaceful coexistence with our lower-fellow animal-beings, of, 'live and let live', not as inheritors but as trustees of the planet earth, where alone life survives.

________________ A CASE FOR VEGETARIANISM Mahaveer due to his severe austerities and consequently eliminating of passions achieved ominscience, observed, "One, who according to you, should be killed is non- else than thyself." Law of Karma is inescapable besides the fact that an englihtened soul feels akin for other. "375497 H d 'I SAATH Fall We ar HOST TOUTE" | "I have friendship with all beings, enmity with none". Bible says, "Do unto others,what thou do unto thyself". The world has outgrown the stage of caveman, pastoral, living, it is reaching much higher civilized existence, has feeling for his other fellow- beings, recognizing the rights of animal citizen and realising duties to preserve and protect them thus protecting environment. This leads to nonviolence and vegetarianism. It is not only ethical and spiritual but imperative of finer- feelings for human- beings, distinguishing him from brutes; nay for his very survival. In west also therefore great thinkers like Bernard Shaw, H.G. Wells, Aldous Huxley and host of others started movement in favour of vegetarianism. Wells said, "To be vegetarian is to be civilized." Shaw said, "If I were

________________ A case for Vegetarianism/240 an omnipotent despot I would have arranged such a state of affairs as to ban fish, fowl, meat intoxicants..... as to free my subjects of them". In India Rukamani Devi Arandale established Animal-Welfare-Board and later Karuna-Mandals' in every school in a number of states. Man has evolved much and rightly a galaxy of personages volunteered for non-violence and vegetarian diet. Some of those eminent persons inter-alia were Mahaveer, Buddha, Nanakdeo, Kabir, Sant- Tukaram and recently Gandhi, Einstein, Charles Darwin, LeoTolstoy, Srimad Raichand, Walter--Newton. One whose hands are soiled in blood and butchery of fellowcreatures cannot pray God for piety and mercy. There are in India over 36000 registered slaughterhouses and other ones, where millions of sheep, goat and lakhs of buffaloes, cows, etc are slaughtered every year, driving them to brink of extinction not faraway. Yet some give strange arguments deludedly or misguidedly. Life is there in water, air and plants. How then can we avoid taking life? It is true, but such invisible bacterias, microbes or unicellular or other-life is more or less neither saved nor lost in our process of living as compared to willfully slaughtering animals like us of flesh, blood and feeling, as cow, goat, pig etc. for palate. Unicellular beings do not possess mind. Lacs occupy hardly a point of needle. It is also contended that unless animals are killed they would fill entire earth. It is a lie, in present age where in big animal-farms they are fed corn wheat etc in ratio of 8 Kg cereals to derive 1 kg, of meat. It is therefore,

________________ 241/tat cat sifeta sfeer, gefa, zaer vai deiftch 314TC claimed that if non-vegetarians even spare eating meat for a day or two every-week, the grim famine and starvation deaths, could be banished from earth. Callous waste and unimaginable cruelty too could be abolished. As at times diseases like-mad-cow, due to perhaps feeding them unnaturally on remains of meat etc. of abattoir or avian-flu in birds, and then purposely exterminating them in millions, wreck havoc to them and in turn to us. It may be nature's way of wreaking vengeance through earthquakes, World Wars, occasional Tsunamis, Catrina etc. compelling us to pay heavy price for men and materials. especially of places notorious for cruelties and killing the helpless creatures. : Non-vegetarian diet cannot be supported even on health grounds as well. According to Dr. David Snow Down, meat diet promotes death in form of diabetic, atherosclerosis, thickening of blood vessels, T. B., anemia, influenza, pneumonia etc. Fish and chicken eggs are part of meat diet. Eggs particularly are notorious for high-cholestrol. W.H.O. stating almost 160 diseases associated with meat diet. Animals usually suffer from tapeworms and infecting others. For all these reasons and barbarity with which meat is derived, might one has seen a buffalo tied about all four legs, lifted invertedly by a crane at a height and guillotined under sharp blades, blood oozing out in all directions still who can then eat its meat? Only if he or she is slave of habit, or intoxicated; as drinking and non-vegetarian food usually go together, jeopardizing health doubly. It is yet said by some people that meat is of higher biological-value. The lysine and other amino-acid content

________________ A case for Vegetarianism/242 of protein can be obtained alternatively from one or twospoonfuls of milk or curd which is such a humane way of 'live and let live', befitting human beings using discretion, the greatest gift of God to man alone. In criminal Law mensrea determines the guilt, so it is in spiriutal world. If we act cautiously to avoid killing beings, or hurting them physically or mentally while walking, talking, eating, speaking, lifting or placing or disposing things and yet if death etc. occurs we are not guilty of killing; as a doctor might cause death of a patient while fully cautiously and ably acting to save him, thus escapes guilt. This logic is based on Jainism and probably found in all rational faiths. There is no intentional killing-Bhava-Himsa', although it may result in death by 'Dravya- Himsa'. In contrast to it, is positive killing of beings, say five sensed, down to even two sensed i.e. from human beings, elephant etc. to small yet visible insect etc because we feel for taking their lives in the scale of evolution, due to their akinness of flesh, blood even feelings as our own. Thus non vegetarianism negates truth and non-violence. Every one wants to live happily Thus bible also says, "You shall not kill", Janism says, "Live and let live". Cruelty and killing even in name of some old faiths by scuttling any animal, or by maiming it or wounding and piercing by spears and then slicing it alive for killing, or cutting it in a stroke to terminate its life, negates truth of clinging to life by every one. So also in abattoirs and other places killing of animals for food and trading in it,

________________ JAIN RELIGION AND MODERN SCIENCE Stephen Hawking; one of the greatest physicists of our time wrote in the end of chapter, 'The Origin and Fate of the Universe', in his famous book , 'A Brief History of Time'-'So long the universe had a beginning we could suppose it had a Creator. But if the universe is completely self contained having no boundary or edge, it would have neither beginning nor end; it would simply be. What place then for a Creator?' Einstein therefore said, "God is left with little to do. Nature is governed by its own laws." It is what precisely Jainism predicted thousands of years ago. There was no creator, nature itself is automatic and autonomous to follow its own disciplined laws and principles. When most of the religions -Jewish, Christian, Islam, believed in creation by a Creator. St. Augustine accepted date of about 5000B.C. for creation of the universe. According to book of Genesis it could be not far from the last Ice Age i.e.10,000 B.C.. On the contrary conforming to the present scientific- version, Jainism held the universe was there since infinity "Anadi and Anant", no beginning and no end. There is no God,

________________ 261 / jainoM kA saMkSipta itihAsa, darzana, vyavahAra evaM vaijJAnika AdhAra a no Creator, nature is autonomous and automatic, concept sounding more of modern physics than of religion. Modern Physics states however also of big bang - from crunch to creation, about 14 billion i.e.14000 million years ago, almost infinity, not in terms of geometric progression, but in astronomical terms of time, as it simultaneously states that before that 'singularity', there was no time and even if it was there, it was destroyed including every thing; say matter, space, forces etc.. It did not practically exist as such. It does not however appeal to common -sense that before big bang there was no time nor space or other fundamental entities like particles, gravitation or forces etc. Even if started from a crunch it must have contained all those entities in seed form ;from many to one, seems more reasonable and not vice versa,because scientific law of matter is that, it is neither created nor destroyed, of course matter and energy are interinvertible but sum total is always equivalent. Hence in Bhagwad Gita in II Chapter verse 12 it is said, "There was never a time when I was not there or when you were not there, nor is it a fact that we here after, shall all cease to be ."As shown earlier Stephen Hawking himself doubted looking to endless expanding nature of universe if it had a beginning or not. There are other important scientific theories of also regarding beginning of nature. "Universe is not defined by one beginning or end as thought by Hawking," said a cosmologist Roger -Penrose. In fact a universe goes through a succession of beginnings and endings. "It is a cycle following succession of big-bangs

Six aeons of different periods, had a cycle. 1 Sukham, Sukhan i.e. Joy Joy-40 million sagropam. 2 Sukham i.e. Joy- 30 million sagropams. 3 Sukham Dukham i.e. Joy and Sorrow -20 million sagropam. 4 Dukham Sukham i.e. Sorrow and Joy - 10 million sagropam {reduced by 42000 years). 5 Dukham i.e. Sorrow- 21000 years. 6 Dukham Dukham i.e. Sorrow and Sorrow 21000 years. Total is one 'Avasarpani' or 'Utsarpani', much near the predictions of science, each about 100 million years, a period akin to science than religions . Jainism says there are six substances of which this entire universe is created-soul, matter, force-[helping movement), forcehelping bodies to rest i.e. retarding movement, time and space. Science also confirms formation of universe from substances , matter i.e. particles, energy ,or forces of gravitation nuclear radiation, electro-magnetic forces, dark-matter, dark-energy; in short forces, forming and expanding universe and opposite ones retarding it. Broadly, Science accepts all of them except 'Soul. How the inanimate matter became alive, got consciousness, or even how matter originated , science is still uncertain about it. Science has to move forward from self - imposed limitation of dealing with things material. Knowledge is not compartmentalised. Einstein

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ 263 / jainoM kA saMkSipta itihAsa, darzana, vyavahAra evaM vaijJAnika AdhAra said, "Religion without science is lame and Science without religion is blind ."Great modern physicists like W.Heisenberg therefore ventured writing "Physics and Philosophy", "Physics and Beyond", Feyman wrote, "Character of Physical Law" and D.S.Kothari wrote, "The Complementarity Principle and Eastern- Philosophy," etc, etc. Vinobaji rightly said to the effect that future generations would like religion with scientific background. Present religions are mere foundations, sometimes based on myths, metaphysical speculations or different forms of worship. They have to find unity of being `humane in this diversity, as shown by scientific principles. These are Anekant, non-violence, live and let live, perhaps never underlined better than in Jainism. Since 1960's science has made a quantum-jump in form of Quantum- Mechanics. By using high-energyaccelerators, smashing atoms or sub-atoms like proton etc underneath,discovered that there were hundreds of particles with different properties. They existed at the time of big-bang or may be even before if such cycles repeated .The deterministic laws of classical physics did not much apply for these particles. These particles are millionth and millionth of an inch. Photon was proved to have dual property, behaving as particle or wave and thus, there were discovered several properties in hundreds of elementary particles. The dual nature has been explained by a great Indian scientist Dr D.S.Kothari as mentioned earlier on principles of Anekant, experimentally as follows .A box with a partition making two compartments A and B and a hole in a partition - a

These may be put differently, say [1] positive or [2] negative or [3] mixture of positive and negative or [4] inexpressible [Avyakta] or [5] positive inexpressible or [6] negative inexpressible or [7] mixture of positive negative inexpressible. With multifarious properties of elementary particles dealt by quantum ,any definite view would be crazy and most uncertain; yet much progress in the world due to these discoveries has been made .In certain ranges the principles were found applicable facilitating growth of television, mobiles, internets, in fields of biology etc., etc. W.Heisenberg propounded new law of 'uncertainty' for quantum- mechanics; while old law of say gravity, existing Then Neil Bohr gave principle of complementarity : Most of the apparently contradictory properties were complementary like Chinese concept of Yin and Yang. day and night , labour and rest, mobile and fixed beings, opposites existing together. Carrier particles say photon, gravion, W.Boson and quarks. Experiments are conducted with cooperation of world's scientists at Cleveland[England) and at CERN (Europe) to find Higgs Boson or God's particle, which lends mass to other particles. The search is on in about 20 km long tunnel by smashing protons at a speed of light to know conditions that prevailed at big - bang. At Cleveland properties of dark-matter and dark energy are specially searched along with Higgs- Boson. Then is the principle of exclusion -no identical particles can coexist as Kabir said, "When I am there, God is not there and

________________ 265 / jainoM kA saMkSipta itihAsa, darzana, vyavahAra evaM vaijJAnika AdhAra when God is there I do not exist, space being too narrow to accommodate both", [i.e. on acquisition of Godhood ], so is there the entanglement and confinement principle which implies that all the matter in the Universe was integrated and it therefore behaves in an inter related manner,having 'butterfly' effect of raising storm. The Jain Philosophy of 'Anekant' i.e. 'Syadvad' the way of narrating it, is much similar in emphasis as is the quantum mechanics. Immense are the properties of matter, or end - particles and so are the properties of soul as we move on spiritual path of liberation so will there be ups and down and therefore without wavering shall steadfastly achieve liberation, by removing ignorance, ridding from endless desires, indulgences, passions, being detached seeing truth, knowledge, observing good conduct, laws of conservation as nature gave us. We earlier observed the material universe is infinite not only in relation to time but also space. Let us first know basics of how universe was constituted. Under strong nuclear force, particles combined to form electrons, protons, neutrons. They then formed atoms to form 122 elements -98 stable and 24 unstable ones. Then were formed molecules, which in turn under the electromagnetic force constituted compounds, millions of chemicals, minerals, rocks and under gravitational and electromagnetic forces formed galaxies, stars, planets etc around them. The vastness of universe is astounding. Jains also say it is 'Anant' i.e. infinite. There are as per scientists - 200 billion galaxies with each about 100 billion stars and many planets around them. An approximate estimate of
Page #276
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ Jain Religion and Modern Science/266 distance of universe may be made, e.g. the sun rays travel at a speed of 1.86 lac miles in a second and thus to reach earth it takes about 8.3 minutes covering about 90 million miles or say 150 million kms. The nearest star to our sun is about 4 light years away, imagine the vastness of space .It is said one may add 24 zeroes after one to have approximation of infinite distance without boundary. How could Jainism predict without any equipments like present giant telescopes at Jodral Bank such immensity of space. Certainly it was great feat of spiritual knowledge, transcendental of time and space. : Modern Physics does not state about forces as mentioned in Jain -Scripture but says universe was formed from matter i.e. particles, their aggregates underinfluence of strong nuclear and electromagnetic, gravitational forces. Further science says universe ultimately consisted of 4% matter, 20%dark matter and 74% dark energy. It is interesting to note that experiments conducted to assess whether universe was expanding or not has led to the result that it was definitely expanding. It was earlier said that observations through giant telescope of Jodral Bank Observatory, make out that universe through galaxies was expanding. Confirmation of this view was reported in Times of India dated 2, April 2012, biefly as under, " New study confirms of expanding universe driven by dark energy, as Speed Professor Einstein had told." A team of cosmologists of Union of Pertsmouth and Max-Planick Institute of Extra Terrestrial Physics viewed, Big Bang at 14 billion years ago, establishes constant vacuum energy, empty space creating a repulsive force as driving acceleration of

________________ 267/ jainoM kA saMkSipta itihAsa, darzana, vyavahAra evaM vaijJAnika AdhAra space. Dark energy was not simply an illusion. The question is much solved that how against forces or pulls of gravitation limiting expansion, the universe still expanded." Thus one is force of expansion and other is force for retarding creation .In fact Jainism has much earlier said there were forces helping movement which is called "dharmastikaya" and the opposite one is called "adharmastikaya", helping rest. Thus what is lacking is recognition of soul only, out of all six fundamental entities, common to both Science and Jainism. Modern Science which however has laid down that it took about 10 billion years after big- bang to form earth, as it was in the gaseous form until at 4000 degree C, then again at 700 degree C, to form a seven mile thick crust of earth, followed by 60,000 years of rain causing seas and to reach present levels of hospitable temperature. It had to cover this long span of time. It is only then that it could start accommodating life on our planet .The soup of life was already created of aminoacids, urea, methane, carbon etc, flown to the sea. Life in the form of distinct unicellular animal or plant began still 2.5 billion years after it i.e. only 15 00 million years earlier. Man is just 2-3 million years old almost 10 seconds of a day of period of life which is on our only planet. Here there are again some striking similarities between the evolution as described in 'Origin of Species' by Charles Darwin and Jainism. The record of evolution is mostly contained in fossils. The life on earth began as unicellular organism, plant and animal only 1.5 billion years ago, much after the big - bang i.e. 14 billion years ago. It took almost ten billion
Page #278
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ Jain Religion and Modern Science/268 years since the mother earth itself came in creation and again it took about 1 billion or more years for unicellular organisms to develop into multicellular ones. Life started from sea and then came amphibians at about 3 billion years ago i.e. 30 crore years then in turn came reptiles, 20 crore years ago., then pouched mammals or animals etc with placenta, amongst them were elephants, horses , carnivores animals and even primates , apes; the ancestors of man, whose existence is not more than about 30 million years ago. How it has some consonance with the jain view of life - species? As we have earlier said science has still not confirmed existence of soul although believing more or less in five other substances. Science has not explained the origin of matter too. Life started as per science with different combinations of carbon, amino acids, methane etc. It is said that the sustenance that a plant draws from its roots is matter ,but acquires life when there is. photosynthesis . Jainism also believes in life in plants and additionally a soul too. Jainism also says all worldly beings have not only life but souls also. We shall describe in detail how worldly souls have not only life but consciousness as well as conscience. But presently we will first deal with differentiation/ evolvement of species. It is accepted in Jainism that unicellular species, is condemned to exist in 'nigod', 'anant' -unending or billion of years. It suffers perpetually, involuntarily for lacking important organic developments and adverse circumstances. It may be larger unicellular life like earth, water, fire, air etc also. Same long innumerable years pass by earning merit by involuntary suffering to get

In this article we can only briefly allude to it. They are broadly as under number [1] is anuvargana [2] is sankhyaanuvargana [3] is asankhyaanuvargana [4] is anatanuvargana. All these four varganas are almost akin to the concept of subatoms i.e. hundreds of particles forming electron, proton, neutron, and then by fusion and fission forming atoms and 'asankhya' atoms, making molecules and 'anant, making the entire physical universe. Similarly there are different types of bodies having life. They are due to past karmas, 'Aharakvargana' i.e. transitory body to seek information from enlightened ones. Then Number - [6], [8], [10], [12] are 'agrahaya,' which all mean unstable.

________________ Jain Religion and Modern Science/270 Then number [7] is 'Tejas'- it accompanies the departing soul to provide necessary nutrition to the body which is to take birth. Then number -[9] 'bhasha', [11] 'mann'(mind), [13] karma vargana,[15], 'saantar', matter discontinuous, [17] 'pratyek' body vargana sharer,[19]' badar nigod' (unicellular),[21]'sukshama-nigod' (unicellular), [24] mahaskanda vargana (all visible matter). It would be seen that all these are pertaining to consciousness and development of soul. How without any modern instruments such theory of development of physical world through particles atoms,etc to consciousness and spiritual growth,could be developed by Jainism, is surprising and credit may be accorded to those possessing such extra-ordinary vision through spiritualism. " "Sarira - van - manah - prana panah pud galan", ['Tattavarth Suttra', by Uma Swati, verse -5:19] "Suka-duhkha-jivita marnopgra has ca" ['Tattavarth-Suttra', by Uma Swati, verse5:20] The matter has assumed form of body, speech, mind even life so also, pain, pleasure and even birth and death, matter becoming animate and conscious. Life is sustained by ingestion and digestion of food and is killed by toxins or fatal things striking the body.

________________ 271/ jainoM kA saMkSipta itihAsa, darzana, vyavahAra evaM vaijJAnika AdhAra In the field of soul and its great potentials science leaves us in lurch. It has yet reached the stage of knowing what is conscious, what is mind and what are its products and knowledge through it. "yoga upyog jivesu" ['Tattavarth Suttra', by Uma Swati, verse 5:44] Meaning thereby that this worldly soul consists not only the clay -cast mould .i.e. our body,but also has spiritual capacity to earn knowledge, self control, and right -conduct .The path to deliverance is only through amalgam of body and soul, which plays an ennobling role of its purification through pursuit of path relentlessly, as said in the first stanza of Ttattavarth -"Samayag darsan gyan caritrani moksha marg"- right vision, faith, enlightened world view and right knowledge and lastly treading such path of shedding attachments and aversions, malice etc. leading to liberation. It is only the soul power which can control the instincts which are like hundred-headed-hydra. Intelligence is too feeble a rider to control instincts. Soul power is fortified by long practice until emancipation Those who have practiced it like Lord Mahaveera, Buddha Christ, Kabir, and a host of suffi saints like Khawaja Mohammad Chisti etc. and others in the past and presently like Vivekanand, Srimad Raychand, Gandhiji, Tolstoy, Ruskin, Lincoln, Romainrolland,and a number of eminent jain and other acharyas etc, brought succour freedom for depraved mankind. The soul power is not an illusion like astrology. Therefore real " . F
Page #282
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
________________ Jain Religion and Modern Science/272 scientific approach would be, to investigate this power dispassionately and not to deny it stubbornly. The soul has several merits as the matter possesses several properties as discussed earlier through QuantumMechanics. Acharya Mahapragya has said that, "Soul is knower, it is formless, as well as with form. It has life also, and yet it is weightless. It is substance which is conscious as well as conscience. It is knower and also knows the knower." Some such thoughts were also uttered by Einstein that, "he knew about materialis of matter, but would if given next birth, like to know the knower". We noticed many similarities between Jainism and Modern Science. It is also true that in the evolutionaryscale, man has made giant strides; although it is only through development of mind and intellect. Jainism however stresses that it is our worldly soul's actions, earning merits and demerits , that we make or mar, our future. Through ignorance, blind-faith, violence, noncooperation, indulgences, absolute views, fanaticism, fundamentalism, terrorism, etc we act against our conscience ;which has potentiality to rid ourselves of above vices and find ourselves in conformity with the laws of science and nature - 'Anekant' i.e. non-absolutism and the principle enunciated by Quantum-Mechanics i.e. Principle of uncertainty, complementarity, entanglement of entire universe etc. lead to non-violence, conservation, coexistence etc.

________________ 273/jainoM kA saMkSipta itihAsa, darzana, vyavahAra evaM vaijJAnika AdhAra Science however devoid of ethics, would lead to immoral games, by entering into trades, professions, industries which are harmful and hazardous to mankind, destruction of plants and other species and imbalance in the eco- system. The simplest form of non violence is vegetarianism . Much destruction of plant species i.e. about 40% rain forest and much loss of potable water occurred through non vegetarian diet. It is feared that future wars, would be fought to procure this life sustaining scarce commodity. In international relations also the divorces of ethics lead to self aggrandisement attitude, overlooking the welfare of all mankind. It foments evils like internecine conflicts and wars, which is in the interest of big and powerful countries as they earn by selling and producing weapons, including weapons of mass destruction. Already we are in the throes of blind suicidal nuclear and other weapons' race. Science is neutral, a knowledge like Alladin's lamp ,to be used for boon or bane. Undoubtedly it has provided great amenities and made life much easier to sustain presently a population of about seven billion and yet much of the population face scourge of starvation and malnutrition and worse still, the fear of extinction. The way to growth is undoubtedly through Science joining hand with human and scientific religion like Jainism, which will enrich each other in the interest of the entire mankind.
