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.

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." Mahavira (Bhagavati Aradhana, 780) SAMARPAN- DEDICATION 11 Page #13 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ Badi Diksha of Sadhvi Sanghamitra (Mangalam) sAdhvI zrI saMdhamitrAzrI, pUjya gurudeva upAdhyAyazrI amaramunijI mahArAja kI kRpAchAyA meM zrI saMghamitrAzrI (maMgalama) ko zAstrIya adhyayana tathA prAcIna bhASAoM ko paDhane kA saubhAgya prApta huA hai| jIvana kI sUkSma evaM samyak dRSTi jinheM guru-kRpAse prApta hai| saMyama evaM sAdhanA unake lie atyaMta sahaja hai| yahI kAraNa hai kI tamAma sukha suvidhAoM kI paridhi se anAsakta bhAvameM vItarAgatAke mArga pe nikalanA unake jIvana kI eka niyati hai| jo asAdhAraNa hai, dhanya hai ! 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: dhamma saraNaM pavajjAmi - 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. khAmemi savvajIve, savve jIvA khamaMtu me| mittI me savva bhUesu, veram majjha na keNai / / khamemi savve jiva, savve jiva khamantu me, mitti me sawa bhuyesu, veram majha na kenai.

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.

I bow to the feet of the Holy Teacher, who explained the real nature of the Soul, which without understanding I suffered infinite misery.

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. deha chatAM jenI dazA, varte dehAtIta; te jJAnInA caraNamAM, ho vaMdana agaNita. deh chhata jeni dasha, varte dehatit; te gnanina sharanma, 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.

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. kaSAyanI upazAMtatA, mAtra mokSa abhilASa; bhave kheda, prANIdayA, tyAM AtmArtha nivAsa. kashaya-ni upashanta-ta, matra moksha abhilasha, bhave kheda prani daya, tya atmartha nivasa. 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.

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.
