________________
Let the sound of 'Arham' vibrate day and night In the mind-in speech, in action and in thought! The 'A' of Arham stands for Amrit—the water of life; 'R' represents the fire element; the aspirate Doth awake the vital force within; the nasal sound With whatever it combines, raises its power! Mere repetition of words, however profound, Brings no lasting joy—a meaningless ritual! Charged with passion and mindfulness 'Arham' sets right everything!
THE GREATNESS OF 'ARHAM'
Jain Education International
Q. In your book Preksha-Sangan, you started with the sound of 'Arham'. A preksha dhyana sadhak also starts his practice with the recitation of 'Arham'. Do you lay stress on the practice of japa along with meditation? What do you think of japa?
