spend time alone, and doing hard Asana are six out side Tapa (austerity). Feeling sorry for wrong things, respect, helping others, reading scripture, keep material limitation and meditation are Inner Tapa. Meditation of two highest and positive Iqualities are called Dharma Dhyan and Shukla Dhyan. 9. Agyaapayavipaksansthanavichyaya Dharmapramattsanyatsya: Following Lords and scriptures guidance, teach right things to people doing wrong things, link results to karma, and keep wider view is Dharma Dyana (right meditation - leading to Heaven and Moksha). 10 Prithktvektvavitarkasukshamkriyaprtipativyuparat kriyanivritteeni: Prithktvitark, Ekattvavitark, Sukshakriyaprtipaati, and vyuparat kriyanivrati are four types of Shukla Dyana leading to Moksha (liberation). Following the Ten Dharmas thus lead to heaven and Moksha.
Four levels of meditation for going to higher level of consciousness are Pindastha (separating soul from non soul), Padastha (i.e., Navkaar Mantra Uccharan), Roopastha (imagine praying to Tirthankars in Samosaran), and Roopateet (Deep meditation of Parmatma). During eight days of Paryushana, this higher level of consciousness is achieved by reading of Kalpa Sutra, pravachana, Navkaar Mantra and Logassa Uccharan, Deep Bhakti, austerity (Tapa) and learning and staying with our pure soul. During 10 days of Paryushana ( Das Laxana), this is attained by removing anger, deceit, ego, and greed from our conduct, be truthful, Keeping limitations on senses, austerity, giving up worldly things, keep restrictions on 14 internal and 10 external Parigrah, and staying with soul. By concentrating on our soul, removing impurities using 12 levels of austerities, the person can attain the stages of Pindastha, Padastha, Roopastha, and Roopateet.
How do we do together? One suggestion - by incorporating Ten Dharma pravachana every day during eight days of Paryushana, and by including Kalpa Sutra reading (similar to 1st Anuyoga - consisting of learning about 63 Salaka Purush), recital of Navkaar Mantra and Logassa (prayer of 24 Tirthankaras) during 10 days of Paryushana. More better we can do together Paryushana and Das Laxana in 10 days from Friday, and concluding on Sunday of 2nd week, keeping last as day of Samvatsari Pratikraman and Alochana Path, Parna and Tapasvi's Bahumaan. All can celebrate Bhagwan's Birth on 1st Sunday.
Please refer to my article in 2007 JAINA souvenir how many of our brilliant centers (11 of them) put together creatively the Paryushana/ Das Laxana program using inclusiveness. Please write to me how your center has advanced Jain Unity during our pious days and planning to do going forward. - Nirmal Dosi, Chairperson JAINA Scholars Program, E-Mail: ndosi@verizon.net
