TOLIYA, M.A. Gold medalist, 7 awards-winner and writer of 7 books " BLUE, HO RIULS" JE EGAM JANAI, SE SAVVAM JANAI" HE WHO KNOWS THE SELF, THE SOUL, KNOWS ALL, THE ENTIRE WORLD.

This mantra prays for the well-being of the whole universe.. ..... Based on this mantra, one great soul undertook penance and applied it to his life and to the pursuit of right vision, right knowledge and right conduct over a long span of 27 lifetimes. A long penance later, 2,600 years ago in the year 598 B.C..... In the mortal land of Jambudweep's Bharatakshetra and in the prosperous city of Vaishali in Bihar and its portion of Kshatriyakundagram, this divine soul prepares for its descent from devaloka, the land of Gods...

Page #21
(Song) "PACHISASO BARSON PAHLE..." Queen Mother Trishaladevi, wife of king Siddhartha of the Licchvi Vamsha, is soon to give birth to this great soul. Earlier she had witnessed 14 or 16 great and symbolic dreams. This divine, compassionate soul, endowed with the Mati, Shruta and Avadhi Jnanas, cares for its mother's well-being even when in the womb. On the completion of 9 months and 742 days on the 13th day of the Chaitra month, even as the moon sheds its soothing light on the mortal land, this soul takes human form, with the aim of immersing itself in Shukla Dhyana, meditation of the soul and the Self. The celebration of Prince Vardhaman's birth is spread far and wide-on Mount Meru the Gods and on the earth King Siddhartha and his subjects ....... " OR A Sa a t...." (Song) "GHAR GHAR MEIN ANAND HAI CHHAYA" This great event has added to the well-being of all. Happiness descends everywhere but the greatest joy is that of mother Trishala in caring for her son........ "unat ovat WR GAR Rt ...." (Song) "BAL KO KARTI PYAR-DULAR MAA" After Vardhaman's birth, the royal family sees a tremendous increase in its wealth. He soon enters school and gets the name "Mahavir" due to his superhuman feats of courage - "at her dat ovat aina?" "a faena do dan, at si do fato fa ..." (Song) " O MAIYA! TERE KUNWAR KI ...." "ROOP PISHACH KA..." Thus childhood passed into adolescence and soon comes the youth. Mahavir's soul is above worldly attachments, but a few karmas, duties still remain to be fulfilled - these include his religious duty towards his parents and marriage to Yashoda...... ...... And prince Vardhaman Mahavir weds Yashoda. Though according to another version, he remains unmarried. But even as a Prosperous householder, Vardhaman remains detached, much in accordance with life's ideal. Just as the lotus

Page #22
stays aloof from the water and slush in which it is born, so has the true seeker to keep away from worldly pleasures and attractions. In this detatched state, Mahavir sees various incidents and changes taking place in his life : daughter Priyadarshana is born to him, but his parents leave him on their eternal voyage. These gains or losses, however, do not stop his philosophical deliberations, he ponders on his life's aim and as if in answer to these deliberations there arises within him a voice. The voice has a plea, a call, an invitation: "JE EGAM JANAI, SE SAVVAM JANAI". He who knows the soul, knows all. "Come, recognise and realise yourself". And his mental turmoil increases because he wants to answer this voice, he wishes to find his true self for ever.......... But no, the atmosphere of Vaishali's Royal Palace is not the right one for this search...... ....... The only way out was the total renunciation of all attachments. So Mahavir waited for the right opportunity when he could follow his chosen path, which incidentally, was meant for the brave. "Bryd Ster der Tatt?" (Song) "APOORVA AVSAR AISA AYEGA KABHI ?" ....... The day finally dawned when he could break away from all bonds and start on the difficult path of Bhagwati Diksha (or initiation into monkhood). Mahavir embarked on the task of finding his true self, only after consultation with all concerned, with their permission and blessings, for he did not believe in escapism.......... .... On this auspicious day, to Mahavir's three-sided knowledge, was added a fourth dimension, the "MANAHPARYAVAJNANA" (4: 51) So on he went in search of the fifth knowledge of Keval Jnana (CA ) and the fifth and ultimate position of Siddhahood. The road was unknown, and limitless, he was alone, unaccompanied..... His departure was heart-rending moment for his wife Yashoda, daughter Priyadarshana and brother Nandivardhana. Watching him disappear among the bushes of the Gnatkhandavana, a desperate cry rose from them: " rau facut as I II" (Shloka:Couplet) "TVAYA VINA VEER, KATHAM VRAJAMO?" "O Veer! How can we now return to a house bereft of your presence and voice ? O brother! who will now accompany us in life's different phases ? Who will we dine and talk with ?" But Mahavir, the Nirgranth, the unattached, has already left, having vowed at the very first step not to care for his body, nor protect himself from the troubles given by God, men or devil, nor even allow the mind to be upset by anger till such a time as he attained the ultimate - kevala Jnana .....

Page #23
even refused Lord Indra's offer for help "at cat #LGA YA ...." (Song:Couplet) "GHOR VANOME PAIDAL GHOOME" ...... Vardhaman Mahavir endured the scores of extremely painful and terrifying physical sufferings without even feeling upset: "elet e o Jala ...." (Song:Couplet) "HOSH BHOOLA EK GWALA" The suffering did not take away from Mahavir's zeal and the Nirgranth saint, determined as ever, immersed himself in meditation, thus shortening the long voyage and filling it with happiness. The goal which he set out to find, was now very much within his reach. He was pervaded by a feeling of "Satchidanandi shuddh swaroopi" that truthful joyous immortal and coveted state. From the depths of this ocean of knowledge he had brought out pearls of tolerance, forgiveness, love and affection. How else could he have accepted the various trying phases with much calm ? Mahavir soon arrived in the city of Kaushambi, where awaiting him was Chandanbala. Strange is the story of this princess, a woman of high birth sold as a slave in the streets of Vaishali. The sacred texts tell us of the Lord's vow. Mahavir had been fasting for 5 months and 25 days, yet had vowed not to accept food unless given by a woman of royal bearing, forced by circumstances to become a servant maid. She would have to have a shaven head, chained body, tears in her eyes and black gram in her hands. Waiting at the door as per his requirements was Chandanbala - "GALIHI! A 3 a face ...." (Song) "CHANDANBALA ! TERA ADBHUT HAI ITIHAS" Surmounting all kinds of trials, Mahavir, the meditative great saint, completes 12 1/2 years of his "Nirgranth" life and reaches his destination of self-realisation. .......The afternoon was drawing to a close, the hamlet of chiman on the banks of River Rijuvaluka, amidst the lush greenery of the fields and under the 'Shall tree...... Yes, it was right below this tree in the "Godohika" (IST ) position, immersed in "Shukla dhyana" of parakoti the highest state, dwelling in the depths of the ocean of self-meditation that Mahavir grew aware of an intense feeling of being aloof from all kinds of attachments, being "merely a conscious self, the knowing and seeing soul, Pure, completely selfsufficient, alone...."

Page #24
66 saccidAnaMdI zudhdha svarUpI, avinAzI meM AtmA hU~ / " (Dhoon:Couplet) "SACHCHIDANANDI SHUDDHA SWAROOPI" AND AS THE KNOWLEDGE OF HIS SOUL'S achievement dawns on him, there appears a serene joyousness on his face, the light of the omnipotent, complete Panchamajnana, the Kevala-Jnana and Kevaladarshana - in his soul. Nirgrantha Mahavir, free from all bonds of love and hate has now become self-realised, omnipotent, omnipresent vitarag, Arihant, Tirthankar Bhagawant.....! ...... To have the holy glimpse of the lord and to hear the divine sermons & preachings, the clean celestial planes of the Devas flew, groups of human beings gathered and animals and birds flocked...... The divine "Samosarana" (H) was formed, the "Ashta Pratiharis" (fa) present themselves in his services and the melody of the Devdundubhi (aggr) rent the air. The lord explained to all the meaning of Jeeva, Ajeeva, Atma, Karma and its fruits, the difference between Loka and Aloka, good deeds and sins, Truth and untruth, Asarva Samvara and Bandh, Nirjara and Moksha........ " ego me sAsao appA" (Shloka:Couplet) "EGO ME SASAO APPA" A stream of such holy lectures on different subjects followed and many found solace through it. Thus his "DharmaTeertha Pravartana" flowed ceaselessly through the land, it preached compassion, non-violence, self-control, penance and vision in action; anekantvad - syadvad in thought and the Sarvavirati, deshvirati vows in religion. Balanced by definition in behaviour, decorated by the right vision, right knowledge and right conduct, this all-pervasive "Pravartana" formed the Chaturvidha Sangha, the four fold religious order. Among the monks of this group, Gandhara Gautam Swami stood in the fore-front; among the nuns was Arya Chandanbala; among the "Shravakas" were Anand & others and among the Shravikas were Revati, Sulasa and a few other such scholarly women. At that time several problems peculiar to the country, society and religion were: Division of people on the basis of caste, the high-caste brahmins and the low-caste sudras; exploitation of the women, hypocrisy, animal sacrifices and violence, rigidity, superstition, useless rituals and show of religiosity minus true devotion in short, a materialistic attitude was to be found everywhere. Lord Mahavir had a solution to all these problems, a cure for all these illnesses, and an answer to all the questions:

Page #25
"SAA tato?" (Song:Couplet) "GAUTAM JAISE PANDITON KO" His voice, crystal clear as the waters of the Gangas, had a unique attraction, a nectar sweetness and the colours of the infinite truth in it ..... "Bia Bia HA" (Song) "ANANT ANANT BHAV" It is said that this calm, yet deep, sweet, Divine, Melodius and soft speech of the Lord, flowed in Raga Malkauns..... "ste site est # (noter)" (Song) "DHEER GAMBHIR ... MALKAUNS" For 30 years after Kovalajnana, he spread his preachings far and wide and strengthened his "Chaturvidha Sangha". When his self-knowledge told him that life of his physical frame, the body, was to a close, he came to Pavapuri...... "ula faen for a EI" (Song:Couplet) "JAN LIYA KI JEEVAN YATRA" There was again the divine Samovasarana..., that stupendous non stop last discourse... and the light and night of the new moon..., 16 "praharasa", two days and 48 hours lapsed when, when suddenly....... that ceaseless flow of words came to a stop, his physical body firmed itself into Paryankasana, all activities of the mind, word and body ceased. The remaining "Aghati Karma" were totally demolished. The soul broke the walls of all attachments and contacts and entered a still, silent, mountain-like state of pure elation, when a voiceless echo rose... "I have reached the state of the realised paramatma". And the Lord attained the highest position (Panchama Pada), everlasting silence and Pari-Nirvana (salvation) : "Ait Bilan sta...." (Couplet) "SANS KI ANTIM DOR TAK" The air echoes with the sound of the shell conch, the jungles with that of the trumpet and the sound of human minds with unaccountable notes of agony... Light fused into light.....

Page #26
.....The Lord reached that Land of endless vision, limitless knowledge, infinite strength, the Siddhaloka of total happiness and immortality, from where none returns to fall into the endless circle of life and death. His chief disciple, Ganadhara Gautam Swami, away on a duty assigned by the Lord, returned after the Lord's salvation. When he knew of it, he broke down and wept. Bonds of love, attachment, for the Lord, still tied him. But even through the tears, he heard the Lord's command: "4!" "Do not waste even a second in endless musings, O Gautam !" So, Gautam pulled himself together, returned to calmness and immediately attained kevaljnana : Today 2,500 years later, comes the all-caring voice, the Vardhaman Bharati of that eternal soul, Lord Mahavir; It echoes down the valley of Jambu Nandiswara over the regions of Bharat Mahavideha and above the peaks of Meru Himalaya Mountains.......
