Lakakas
Space
Deva - The Abode of the demigods and heavenly beings

reactivity. The Jaina theory of karma explains karma in terms of karmic particles and makes distinction in the karma as of eight types. Similarly, the karmic effect may be wholesome or may be bad. Jainas have given a scientific theory of karma.
Action; A deed, good or bad; A form of matter; Upon maturing, it delivers its fruit; There are 4 Ghati and 4 Aghati types of karmas. Powers of Ghati karmas are much stronger, and they last for many lives.
It is a substantive force, matter in very subtle form. These matter-particles, called pudgalas, fill all cosmic space. The soul, by its communication with the outer world, becomes literally penetrated by these matter-particles. These in turn become karma and build up a special body called karman sarira, which does not leave the soul until its final liberation. Karma works in such a way that every action leaves a mark of its own, which is retained and built into the organism to serve as the basis of future action

(1) Twenth-fourth Tirthankara in this ara of the time cycle. His name means 'The most courageous one.' Mahavir was an actual historical figure who lived some time between 599-527 BCE. He was a contemporary of another great spiritual teacher--Gautama Sakyamuni--who would come to be known in history as Buddha. According to most accounts, Mahavira was also a high-born member of a warrior caste who renounced the world when he was thirty to pursue a life as an ascetic. His moment of enlightenment came after twelve years of spiritual pursuit. He then gathered twelve disciples around him, and it is through these disciples that his teachings were eventually documented and disseminated. (2) Twenty-fourth tirthankara of the Jainas, a senior contemporary of Gautama Buddha.
(1) A vow that is much stricter than an Anuvrat. Only those who take diksha will take on these vows (i.e. sadhus and sadhvis). There are five mahaavrats- namely ahimsa, anekantvaad, aparigraha, asteya and brahmacharya; (2) Major vows; Monk-vows; Great vows

Ravenousness i.e. excessive desire to eat Wranglings Strong body Vow; Solemn pledge Vow; Abstinence; Resolution; Solemn Pledge Non-transgression in vows Vows (2) Five Great Vows (mahavratas) are:
1. Ahimsa (not to kill) 2. Amrisa (not to tell a lie) 3. Achaurya (not to steal) 4. Amaithuna (not to indulge in sexual behavior) 5. Aparigraha (not to have attachments/possessions)
These are to be followed in their most rigorous form, and without lapse, by the monks and nuns. The same five, when prescribed for members of the lay order, become somewhat lenient. These are called Lesser Vows (anuvratas), and then they take the following names:
1. Pranatipata viramana (to desist from killing) 2. Mirsavada viramana (to desist from telling lies) 3. Adattadana viramana (not to accept when not rightly
bestowed) 4. Maithuna viramana (to desist from sexual behavior) 5. Parigraha parimana (to fix the size of acquisition)
To illustrate, a householder is permitted to cook food even

though this may mean some slaughter of minute animals. A householder is permitted to indulge in sexual behavior with his wife, but not with any other woman. And so on. This is a restricted form of the vow for the lay followers, consistent with the fulfillment of their responsibility as householders. but to atone for these relaxations, seven more vows have been added for the followers as follows:
1. Bhogopabhoga parimana or limiting objects to be used.
2. Dik parimana or limiting the sphere/direction of movement.
3. Anartha-danda viramana or not to indulge in sinful acts not necessary for the maintenance of oneself or one's family.
4. Samayika or concentrating for a duration of 48
minutes on spiritual themes, which may be repeated several times a day.
5. Desavahasika or setting new limits every day within the limits already imposed, thereby restricting further and further one's free life.
6. Pausadha or living for a day like a monk, or even for a day and night, raising the restricted vow to the level of total vows.
7. Atithi-sambibhaga or serving monks, nuns, and other dese rving guests.
Of these seven, the first three are called guna- vratas because they intensify the five anuvratas, and the last four

ITEM
EXCERPTS FROM THE JAIN TENETS Be forgiving. The refinements of the right religion is child's best gift. Jainism is our greatest inheritance. Human incarnation is your best punya karma. Jainism is your best privilege. Exercise the gift wisely. Contemplation about the devotion beneficial to self and others and proper conduct is righteous meditation. Our prayers are to those who have led the path to Salvation, who have destroyed the mountains of karma, and who know the reality of the Universe. We pray to them so that we may acquire their attributes. All living beings in this world suffer for their own deeds; they can not escape the good and bad consequences of the deeds committed by themselves individually. To express dissenting opinion is a natural human tendency. The wisdom lies in harmonizing the dissensions. Practice Anekantavada (multiplicity of viewpoints). Some may call him Buddha, Vishnu, Shiva, Jina, or may call him Brahma, supreme; his thoughts and deep devotion may be in my heart and mind and dream. Five best benevolent personalities (panch parameshthi) are: 1. Arahantäs - Supreme human beings 2. Siddhas - Pure souls 3. Acharyas - Master teachers 4. Uppadhyayas - Scholarly monks 5. Sädhus - Ascetics Practice Ahimsa, Anekaantavaada and Aparigraha God is neither the creator, nor the destructor of the Universe. God is merely a silent observer, and Omniscient One who, even after knowing the whole Universe can remain unaffected, and unattached is the god.

The greed(Lobha) captives one into the miseries. Holiness is the contentment, for the contentment delivers to freedom from miseries. Fight, and conquer thyself, for difficult it is to conquer the self then foes external. If the self is conquered, You shall be happy in this world and hereafter. Dharma is the most auspicious of the auspicious things. Ahimsa (non-violence) and Truth(Satya) are its cardinal principles Even angels pay obeisance to one whose mind remains occupied with dharma. Modesty is the religious virtue. Practice of which brings forth the state of tranquility in the

Soul is brahma, getting absorbed of self in own's soul while desisting from slavery of the body is brahmchaarya. Celibacy is the prime conduct of the brahmchaarya. God is the perfected human being. Soul is independent, indestructible, omniscient, blissful, omnipotent, and has infinite perception. Renunciation(Tyaaga) is Religion(Dharma). Donation(Däna) is a merit karma (Punya) As means of proper conduct practice five vows: Know thou the truth! For truth always triumphs. He who abides by the precept of truth, ultimately conquers the crest. Samyag Darshana (Proper belief), Samyaga Gnana (Proper knowledge), and Samyaga Charitra (Proper conduct) are three jewels (Ratnatraya) of Jainism leads a soul to moksha. Fight and conquer thyself for difficult it is to conquer the self than foes external. If the self is conquered, you shall be happy in this world and hereafter. Oh Soul, seek not happiness outside, for, the real happiness lies in the depth of your own self. God is the supreme manifestation of the human excellence. Truth always triumphs

Neither the body, nor family, nor caste is adorable. Who would have respect for those that are devoid of merit. One that hath no merit is neither a Sramana nor a Srävaka. Humility is the root of the tree of dharma, and moksha is the nectrine of the fruit of the tree of dharma. Assume humility, and the right knowledge, which leads soul to the liberation bestows upon you. It is the conduct, or actions of a person that make him (or her) a brähman, a ksatriya, a vaishya or a sudra, and not a birth.

samvara (stoppage of the influx of karma) is the cause of liberation. Live and let live; live and help others in living. A needle with a thread attached does not get lost in the ground. A man with the knowledge of scriptures (religious books) does not get lost in sansär. Acquire knowledge of jainism everyday. I bow to Lord Mahavir, the great well wisher of all living beings, the source of joy to the souls of the universe; the one who is worshipped by all celestials and the lord of gods. Pleasures of the senses are not permanent, like the birds, who leave the tree, when fruits are gone. Seek refuge in dharma and everlasting pleasures of moksha may be yours. A dew drop on the tip of a grass blade soon vanishes and so is the life of a man. So do not be thoughtless even for a moment. A fortunate soul has
1. Human birth 2. Right religious preachings 3. Faith in that right religion
4. Strength to practise self-control. Neither the body, nor family, nor caste is adorable. Who would have respect for those that are devoid of merit. One that hath no merit is neither a sramana nor a srävaka. There is no fear greater than death, no pain greater than birth. So, oh soul, forsake the attachement to this body subject to birth and death, and absorb inwards into your real self, for, that alone can liberate you from the fear of death, and pain of birth. Anger destroys love; Pride destroys humility; Deceit destroys friendship; and Greed destroys everything. Conquer the anger by forgiveness, Pride by humility, Deceit by straightforwardness, and Greed by contentment. It is the conduct, or actions of a person that make him (or her) a brahman, a Ksatriya, a Vaishya, or a Sudra, and not a birth. Humility is the root of the tree of Dharma, and Moksha is the nectar of the fruit of the tree of dharma. Assume humility and the right knowledge which leads soul to the liberation

Who is Parmaatma, is I, and I am, who is Parmätma. So, oh soul, do not doubt for a moment and proceed to purify yourself of karmic bondages.
An ordinary man, who totally conducts himself with right knowledge (Samyaggnän), performs far better towards the ultimate knowledge (Keval gnäna), than an ascetic who conducts harsh penance with ignorance.
There is nothing difficult for a person who is free from all desires.
Like digging a well when fire breaks out is absurd, so is, seeking a religion when trouble breaks out. Instill the refinements of right religion in a child now.
