suggested as best for practicing Yoga. Above said practices can afford bliss (from ănada kendra), consciousness/knowledge (from jyoti kendra), peace (from śānti kendra) and so on. Thus Ācārya Mahāprajña included them in Suprabhātam, in his teachings for every morning. These all are meant for personality development, and so the part of value education for a society. So the outcome of the study of the book Suprbhatamis: -
Ācārya Mahāprajña introduced a new dimension of solemn resolve within the concept of sadāvasyaka. Lord Mahavira in his time prescribed some rules more prominently than his predesessors, and placed them within the great vows--- those are rātribhojana viramana and brahmacarya. Suprabhātam and its qualities strongly propose its worth to be included in the series of sadāvaśyaka for the laities.
Code of conduct has a special significance in austerity while discipline has an important role in a civilized society. Suprabhātam contains all the values of Jainism. Though core philosophical objects and tenets are not easily digestible, but this book has accomplished its responsibility with more efficacy and effectiveness. Suprabhātam recollects the data of canonical texts like Näyādhammakahā, Uvāsagadasā, Dasaveyāliya, Uttarajjhayaņain a sense, it is worthy to be categorised within the section of canonical texts. Even then its style is as just the fragments of narratives. Suprabhātam is the first composition in its own category where the toughest subject matters are formed in a short agreeable manner for easy gripping. Thus it is a unique effort to meterialise the philosophical concept within the human being.
The speciality about the book Suprabhātamis, it is identical with the narrative ethical literature like Pañcatantra and Hitopadeśa in nature, but its horizon is wider than them. Pañcatantra and Hitopadeśa are aimed to deal with child psychology particularly, while Suprabhātamis composed with the greater objective to meet the need of society and the interest of all ages.
Anuvratas, the little vows are established as the code of conduct for house-holders specially. Suprabhātam has given a new dimension with a precise list of dos and don'ts to it that the little vows can be observed very smoothly in practical life.
