The experience and knowledge of such Truth is most needed in today's world. In the absence of understanding the Eternal Truth, mankind is heading in an erroneous direction, which is becoming increasingly difficult to stop. Sometimes it seems like the human race is becoming more and more brutal. The foundation of our relationship with each other is often suspicion and distrust. Our relationship with nature is sometimes harsh and cruel. For the pursuit of happiness, humankind is searching everywhere relentlessly. In such challenging times, the Divine message of Tirthankaras can bring peace and solace to this troubled world. With her unique vision and innovation, Pujya Acharya Shri Chandanaji Maharaj will create a new Divine world in the eternal Tirth of Palitana expounding the timeless message of the Tirthankaras. Through this exclusive creation, the aim will be to manifest the Eternal Truth for the first time in a way in which mankind can actually understand and experience the key to happiness. To witness and participate in this exceptional creation and great work in our lifetime is a privilege for us all. Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, in all the places you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can. - John Wesley Mindfulness is waking up and living in harmony with oneself and with the world and appreciating the fullness of each moment of life.

Her unconditional love and compassion has lit up millions of lives. With her ability to understand people and create bonds with all whom she meets, she has instilled lifetransforming values amongst the disadvantaged in society and restated the essence of Bhagwan Mahavir's message applicable in today's world. SAMARPAN - DEDICATION Page #10 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Her message is that practicing religion is not only about resolving the issues of the next life but also about bringing solutions to life challenges presently faced, both global and personal. Her work among the most deprived communities has brought and continues to bring a ray of hope in the lives of the needy and downtrodden. She is the visionary and Guiding Light of Veerayatan, a nongovernmental, non-sectarian organization which is becoming the foremost beacon for promoting Seva (Humanitarianism), Shiksha (Education) and Sadhna (Inner development/Spirituality) in India and worldwide and is an inspiration to the young generation. SAMARPAN - DEDICATION Page #11 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ बड़ि दीक्षा क्या है ? आचार्य श्री माँ चन्दनाश्रीजी संसार में अगर किसी को कोई रोककर रखता है तो वे दो चीजें हैं - या तो व्यक्तिगत संबंध की पकड़ या तो वस्तुगत संबंध की पकड़ । जब व्यक्ति दीक्षित हो जाता है तो दोनों संबंध छोड़ देता है। इस अनुपम स्वतंत्रता का अनुभव नहीं कर सकता साधक, जब तक सर्वसंग त्यागी नहीं होता। इसलिये गृहस्थ जीवन के बाद दीक्षित जीवन का अनुभव काफी अलग ही होता है। इस वातावरण में ४-६ महिने रहने के बाद साधक अपने जीवन की दीक्षा का निर्णय करता है। छोटी दीक्षा और बड़ी दीक्षा के बीच के इस समय में इस मार्ग के प्रति मन की दृढ़ता का श्रद्धा और संकल्प का ठीक से आकलन (evaluate) करता है । और जिनमार्ग को अनुसरण करने का चुनाव करता है। जीवन को ज्ञान भक्ति और साधना के मार्ग पर सुस्थित करने की गुरू से आज्ञा मांगता है। यह दृढ़ निर्णय और इस मार्ग पर गुरू की आज्ञा में संकल्प पूर्वक चलने की स्वीकृति ही बड़ी दीक्षा है। SAMARPAN- DEDICATION Page #12 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ What is Badi Diksha? Acharya Shri Maa Chandanashriji There are mainly two things in this world that hold a person back from experiencing spirituality: 1) A personal attachment to family and friends, 2) The attachments to positions and material objects. Unparalleled freedom cannot be experienced by any person unless one overcomes all attachments and material possessions. So, when a person steps into the life of an ascetic (monkhood), he or she gives both of them up. This is the reason the experience of an ascetic's life is very different from that of an individual's life. An aspirant, therefore, first spends 4-6 months as a renunciate before deciding whether he/she would like to move forward in this direction or not. The time between the initial Diksha and the Badi Diksha is the time for the aspirant to test one's own resolve, dedication, and determination. During this time, the aspirant decides if he/she is ready to follow the path of the Jain order. At the time of Badi Diksha, the aspirant seeks the Guru's permission to dutifully and faithfully follow the path of knowledge, devotion and spiritual practices. An aspirant's strong commitment to dutifully follow the Guru's instructions on this path is called Badi Diksha. “Just as you do not like misery, in the same way others also do not like it. Knowing this, you should do unto them what you want them to do unto you." Mahävira (Bhagavati Aradhanä, 780) SAMARPAN- DEDICATION 11 Page #13 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Badi Diksha of Sadhvi Sanghamitra (Mangalam) साध्वी श्री संधमित्राश्री, पूज्य गुरुदेव उपाध्यायश्री अमरमुनिजी महाराज की कृपाछाया में श्री संघमित्राश्री (मंगलम) को शास्त्रीय अध्ययन तथा प्राचीन भाषाओं को पढने का सौभाग्य प्राप्त हुआ है। जीवन की सूक्ष्म एवं सम्यक् दृष्टि जिन्हें गुरु-कृपासे प्राप्त है। संयम एवं साधना उनके लिए अत्यंत सहज है। यही कारण है की तमाम सुख सुविधाओं की परिधि से अनासक्त भावमें वीतरागताके मार्ग पे निकलना उनके जीवन की एक नियति है। जो असाधारण है, धन्य है ! Sadhvi Shri Sanghamitraji The Guru Awakens the disciple to experience the Inner Truth; the acceptance of this Awakening call by the disciple is the first renunciation (Initial or 'Choti Diksha'). And when, through introspection and living the path, the disciple experiences the Awakening and fully accepts it, this is the second renunciation (Final or 'Badi Diksha'). Awakening', says the Guru, is, in fact, the real achievement and therefore Badi Diksha is the true renunciation. On the occasion of the Badi Diksha, the disciple, now with deeper spiritual experience, again dedicates himself at the pious feet of the Guru with the chanting of the Pravrajya Mantra: धम्म सरणं पवज्जामि - Dhamam Sarnam Pavajjami I accept the shelter of religion "Due to the Divine Blessings of my Guru, may I achieve my purest self." SAMARPAN- DEDICATION 12 Page #14 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ With this beautiful goal, the renunciate progresses on the path of spiritual purification with detachment and affirms his commitment of dedicating his life to the glory of Jina Shasan with Bliss About Mangalam Mangalam has been affiliated with Veerayatan istitute located at Rajgiri, Bihar, India since her childhood. At the young age of six years, she memorized Bhaktamar, Kalyan Mandir and Tatwartha Sutras and other Jain stotras. She is blessed with an enchanting melodious voice which has mesmerised and touched the hearts of thousands of people around the world. She has been also blessed with the opportunity of studying Scriptures and ancient languages such as Sanskrit and Prakrit under the Divine and scholarly guidance of Param Pujya Gurudev Amar Muniji Maharaj and Acharya Shri Chandanaji Maharaj. Along with Jain scriptures, she also studied Hindu and Buddhist texts, with very good communicating skills in English, Hindi, Marathi and Gujarati. Along with her studies, she also held an administrative post at Veerayatan Rajgir for a few years. SAMARPAN - DEDICATION 13 Page #15 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ For the past 17 years, she has been living in the United States where she was married, and has a beautiful 12 year old daughter, Ruhani. Even though she was living in the USA for so many years, her heart was with Veerayatan all the while. During her stay in the USA, she continued her religious studies and worked and supported various volunteer activities of Veerayatan. Mangalam had a long desire to take vows of Jain ascetic (Diksha) and live a complete spiritual life. Jain Diksha (initiation) occurs in two phases. The initial Diksha, and within 6 months, the final (Badi) Diksha. Mangalam's initial Diksha took place under Acharya Shri Chandanaji at Veerayatan, Rajgir, Bihar, India on December 20th 2011. During the initiation process she was given a new name Sadhvi Sanghamitra by Acharya Shri Chandanaji. Sadhvi Shri Sanghamitraji has attained the right and enlightened vision of life with the Blessings of her Guru, Param Pujya Acharya Shri Chandanaji Maharaj. She has an inborn spiritual inclination. Therefore, to give up all the abundance and comforts of life and join the beautiful, spiritual path of Jinas with complete detachment is SAMARPAN - DEDICATION Page #16 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ absolutely natural for her. This is extraordinary and worthy of appreciation. The final (Badi) Diksha of Sadhvi Sanghamitraji is scheduled at Jain Center of Northern California (Milpitas, CA, USA) on April 8, 2012. This is an historic event for the entire Jain Community of USA and of North America since it will be the very first Diksha ceremony in the country and continent. Acharya Shri Chandanaji will perform the Badi Diksha ceremony. खामेमि सव्वजीवे, सव्वे जीवा खमंतु मे। मित्ती मे सव्व भूएसु, वेरम् मज्झ न केणइ ।। khamemi savve jiva, savve jiva khamantu me, mitti me sawa bhuyesu, veram majha na kenai. I forgive all living beings, May all living beings grant me forgiveness. My friendship is with all living beings, My enmity is totally nonexistent.

It is the best and it is the most auspicious way of living. A renuniate tries to find a way to live this supreme religion. Just like a bee, while depending upon the nectar from the flower to make honey for its existence, does not cause any pain or harm to the delicate flower, a renunciate, in searching to meet his/her own needs, does not cause any pain to others. To live in the world without causing any trouble or pain to others is the noblest and most gratifying way to live. This is the true practice of religion.

He becomes a slave of the world and is constantly tormented by worldly attractions. Therefore, if one wants to follow the path of spirituality, one must know the tendencies of all his desires and let go of them. According to Lord Mahavira, one who has nothing to give up is not a renunciate. A renunciate is the one who, having all the comforts and pleasures of the world at his disposal, gives them up to follow the path of spirituality to attain the truth. He is the only true ascetic.

The life of a monk should be like that of a gentle fragrant breeze, the one that brings the fragrance of knowledge, a selfless act of kindness and spirituality to the world. A monk is contented and restrained, he is simple and guileless. Simple means pure and honest from within and without. Due to the simplicity, a monk is farsighted. He is not conflicted with the world or with oneself. There is no conflict in his thinking, in his emotions and in his actions. He views the outside world also with this same simplicity. He is pure-hearted and simple.

This is the most fundamental question of life. Lord Mahavira answered this beautifully, in one single word, that also answers hundreds of other questions at once. "Awareness" The Lord said, “Be aware when walking, be aware when sitting and so on.". You can create awareness in whatsoever you are doing. Be fully alert and perform every action with awareness and wisdom if you wish to avoid the bondage of Karma. How can a practitioner continue on the path of spirituality without worries and without hurdles? What is the focal point of spirituality? First, attain knowledge (wisdom). The man of Knowledge, a man of an awakening, can never do anything wrong. All his actions will be selfless, compassionate and of tremendous help to everyone. (Padhamam Naanam Tao Daya.) In all aspects of life, said Lord Mahavira, walk with your eyes open. The beginning of spirituality, the beginning of the path of liberation, starts with right faith, right knowledge and right conduct, and then liberation will follow. Know thyself; once you know yourself you will know the path, and with proper knowledge and understanding, you will never be lost.

Charles Robert Darwin SAMARPAN- DEDICATION Page #39 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Reflections Reflection on True Teacher (Sadguru) जे स्वरूप समज्या विना, पाम्यो दुःख अनंत; समजाव्यु ते पद नमुं, श्री सद्गुरू भगवंत. je svaroop samajyä vinä pämyo dukha anant; samajävyu te pad namu, shri sadguru bhagavant. I bow to the feet of the Holy Teacher, who explained the real nature of the Soul, which without understanding I suffered infinite misery. आत्मज्ञान समदर्शिता, विचरे उदयप्रयोग; अपूर्व वाणी परमश्रुत, सद्गुरू लक्षण योग्य ätma-jnän samadarshitä vichare uday-prayog apurv väni param-shrut sadguru lakshan yogya. The admirable qualities of the Holy Teacher are knower of the self, equanimous feeling, compassionate and pious speech, and the knowledge of the highest scriptures. He lives worldly life without any attachment and aversion. देह छतां जेनी दशा, वर्ते देहातीत; ते ज्ञानीना चरणमां, हो वंदन अगणित. deh chhatä jeni dashä, varte dehätit; te gnäninä сharanmä, ho vandan aganit. I often bow to the feet of the holy teacher who lives in the human body but his actions are beyond all attachments to the body and other worldly relations and objects. Reflection on Universal Forgiveness खामेमि सव्वजीवे, सव्वे जीवा खमंतु मे। मित्ती मे सव्व भूएसु, वेरम् मज्झ न केणइ ।। SAMARPAN- DEDICATION 28 Page #40 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ khamemi savve jiva, save jiva khamantu me, mitti me sawa bhuyesu, veram majha na kenai. I forgive all living beings, May all living beings grant me forgiveness. My friendship is with all living beings, My enmity is totally nonexistent. Reflection on Universal Peace उपसर्गाः क्षयं यान्ति, छिद्यन्ते विघ्नवल्लयः । मनः प्रसन्नतामेति, पूज्यमाने जिनेश्वरे ।। upasargäh kshayam yänti, chidyante vighna-vallayah. manah prasannatämeti, pujyamäne jineshvare. All problems get resolved, All obstacles get removed, The heart becomes full of joy, For those who get in touch with the inner higher self. Reflection on Universal Friendship शिवमस्तु सर्वजगतः, परहितनिरता भवन्तु भूतगणाः। दोषाः प्रयांतु नाशं, सर्वत्र सुखीभवतु लोकः ।।. shivmastu sarva jagatah, par-hit-nirata bhavantu bhutaganah, doshah prayantu nasham, sarvatra sukhi bhavantu lokah. May the whole Cosmos be blessed, May all beings engage in each other's well-being, May all weakness, sickness and faults diminish and vanish, May everyone everywhere be healthy, prosperous, blissful, and peaceful. SAMARPAN- DEDICATION 39 Page #41 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Reflection on Spirituality and Pure Consciousness दया, शांति, समता, क्षमा, सत्य, त्याग, वैराग्य; होय मुमुक्षु घट विषे, एह सदाय सुजाग्य. dayä shänti samata kshamä, satya, tyäg, vairägya, hoya mumukshu ghata vishe, eha sadaya sujägya. The true seeker of the Self possesses the seven cardinal virtues, namely compassion, peace, equanimity, forgiveness, truthfulness, renunciation, and non attachment to worldly relations and objects. These qualities keep him constantly vigilant. कषायनी उपशांतता, मात्र मोक्ष अभिलाष; भवे खेद, प्राणीदया, त्यां आत्मार्थ निवास. kashaya-ni upashänta-tä, mätra moksha abhilasha, bhave kheda präni dayä, tyä ätmärtha niväsa. Where there are no passions like anger, ego, deceit and greed; where there are no worldly desires; where there is compassion for all living beings; and where the only desire is to liberate the self, there is the abode of self-realization. TT, ST, 35ITH T, HelaHai Tet; थाय निवृत्ति जेहथी, ते ज मोक्षनो पंथ. raga, dvesha, ajnäna e, mukhya karma-ni grantha, thaya nivrutti jeha-thi, te ja mokshano pantha. Attachment, Hatred, and Ignorance of Self are the three principal reasons of the bondage of karma to the soul. The path by which stoppage of karma occurs is the path of liberation.
