Other Salient Features of Jainism : (101) consumerist and promiscuous life styles as in vogue increasingly with every passing hour, day and year, which is the cause of the miseries, wars, epidemics and all other calamities. It is the immoral degraded human behaviour that triggers change of happy-happy (Sukhamā-Sukhamā) era, to less and less happy eras ending in most miserable unhappy un-happy (Dukhamā-Dukhamā) era. If people unanimously, unequivocally and individually and collectively resolve to follow tenets of Jainism, the retrogratory process can certainly be reversed back to Sukhamā and even Sukhamă-Sukhamā happiness. If the prescribed practices and vows are not relaxed, slackened and abandoned, the time will stand still with no retrogratory change as is the case in some planets Videha Kșetras mentioned in Tilloyapaņņatti by Yati Vțşabhācārya. Let wisdom dawn on people and all problems and miseries will vanish.
