JAIN DHARM ANE ANYA DHARMNI AAVASHYAK KRIYAO VISHESHANK
The words are self explanatory but the gahanta, the depth of these can be understood by listening to their explanations. But the most important part of these mantras is that they are considered 'Agori Mantra' so
one can say them anywhere and anyhow unlike the kind of shuddhi required for a Navkar Mantra because Z in it you are addressing the Siddhs and the Arihants, one has to be sure that we dont do aashadhna. While ū in the above three mantras because it is only about one's pure soul versus one's ignorant self, one can do I it anywhere.
Kram kriya rituals had become a habit for many and was being performed without any thought or belief. Many times it feels that we perform pooja, do samayik, pratikraman so mechanically without being involved in it. Our mind wanders and we are not benefitting or achieving anything.
I had so often taken up the traditional disciplines and given up exactly because of this. It all seemed waste I of time. Where was my inner peace or shuddi.? The mind questioned the purpose of it all.
And then when I would hear in satsang about the innumerable life and deaths one has been through and one sees the effect of ones bad karma around - I would scamper back out of fear to the same pooja and kriya since that's what we were taught since childhood - it's wired in our brains( sanskars) and we don't
know better. Kram is not a magic wand that will make your karma disappear; nor is it like a crutch to hold on a to out of fear of falling instead it is a walking stick to help tread and trudge ahead on the path. Ź Pujya Gurudev is helping change that by implanting and providing small achievable goals which anyone w can easily do and more importantly everyone can understand the meaning and thus by it feel motivated to move on to different levels. Once they move ahead they keep feeling the benefit and that acts as a further proof of the effectiveness and thus motivates and most importantly empowers one.
As Gurudevshri often says - All this is not going to take away your karma - but it can certainly take away z the effect of the karma. Kram empowers us by building our power against karma, strengthening our immunity against kashays.
Facing them in bad times without losing ground and progressing ahead on the journey during normal days. I Kram is my tool to increase my shakti and ulhas instead of a panic button or an escape pod to rush into to in protect myself from what I don't wish to face. ŠInculcating the habit of sitting still for a few minutes daily and progressing to staying away from the outside
world and rooting within oneself. Learning to overcome ones moods by switching from gnyan maarg to bhakti maarg and vice versa and thus instead of leaving the path you are just changing gears until one learns to master over moods. Reading scriptures and growing your gnyan which increases aho bhaav for Tirthankar Dev and Jin dharma. And participating in Bhakti to express the same. Two wheels of the same cart - not two carts.
We are following the same Jina path - there are no two ways nor is there any short cut. But now it feels like s z travelling rather than wandering. It's not out of fear of losing out and inviting the wrath of karmas but to create your own strength within and learning to withstand the karmas objectively instead of reactively In case anyone wishes to take this sanyam Marg, there are ways to do it. In Dharampur Ashram, Gurudev himself
initiates one into it with proper guidelines and force. Agas Ashram has a room dedicated to take Aagnya. Please Z forgive me if I have said anything virudh to Guru Aagnya. This is just a tiny glimpse into this world. Michhammi w Dukkadam if I have unknowingly made any error, omission, addition, half truths on my part.)
