jnana, Avadhi-jnana and Manah-paryava-jnana is known as darshan bhaavana (stimulation through right perception or faith). To acquire knowledge of fundamentals like being (life), non-being (matter), merit and non-merit, blocking the inflow of karmas and shedding karmas, to study Agam and to teach them to others; to ponder over the teachings of the Jina; and to try to enhance knowledge is called jnana bhaavana (stimulation through right knowledge). To contemplate about five mahavrats (great vows) including ahimsa, five samitis (self-regulations), three guptis (restraints), ten facets of ascetic discipline conduct, codes and sub-codes etc. and to mould one's attitude accordingly is called charitra bhaavana (stimulation through right conduct). To ponder over things and place and other parameters suitable for austerities and get inspired to indulge in them is called
tapobhaavana (stimulation through right austerities). • To develop apathy for mundane pleasures is called vairagya
bhaavana (stimulation through detachment). To refrain from consuming five kinds of intoxicating things including alcohol and to avoid eight types of stupor is called apramad bhaavana (stimulation through non-stupor). To remain absorbed in the self or soul is called ekagra bhaavana (stimulation through concentration). There are other categories of bhaavanas including anitya bhaavana or stimulation through understanding of ephemeral nature of things. To indulge in practices of such stimulations is discussed in this chapter titled Bhaavana, The first part of this chapter narrates the life of Bhagavan Mahavir, the propagator of the code of conduct and great benefactor, while discussing darshan bhaavana. The second part includes details about five great vows and twenty five bhaavanas that help in immaculate observation of the vows in context of charitra bhaavana.
