Since leaving India in 1961, Anila made it a point to return every year for pilgrimages to visit Jain tirthas in every nook and corner of India. She loved visiting different Jain tirthas each year. While on these pilgrimages, she contributed lovingly to the upkeep of the temples and to promote the ancient tradition of the Dharamshalas and Bhojanshalas. Anila’s life was dedicated to promote the principles and practice of Jainism. It is my pleasure to keep my wife Anila’s faith alive. “Anila Vijay Poonai Tirth” will fulfill her dream of promoting Jainism and leave an everlasting legacy for all Jains.

Saudharm Indra assembles his cabinet & celebrates the joyous day with music & dances. Mother witnesses 14 dreams this night. The advent of our Tirthankar’s soul into human form is celebrated as Chyavan Kalyanak. JANMA KALYANAK : This is the event when the Tirthankar’s soul is born. Jan means birth and Janma Kalyank means the birth of Tirthankar soul in human body. 56 young girls present the mother with the gifts through joyous dances. Saudharm Indra takes the newborn Bhagwan to Mount Meru in a large procession. The Birth is celebrated with songs & dances. At Mount Meru the Bhagwan’s Abhishek is done with 1008 Kalash. Child God’s birth is celebrated for the spiritual fulfillment, as this is His last birth. DIKSHA KALYANAK : In the King’s assembly the young prince declares his intention of renouncing the worldly life and the parents accept this decision with joy. Nine Lokantik angles praise the renunciation thoughts of the prince. The prince donates 1 crore gold coins everyday to the needy persons and there after takes Diksha (Renunciation). This is the event when the Tirthankar’s soul gives up all his worldly possessions and becames a monk. KEvalgYAN KALYANAK : This is event when Tirthankar’s soul destroys the four ghati karmas completely and attains the Kevalgyan (absolute knowledge). Celestial angels set Samavasaran for Tirthankars from where they deliver the first sermon. This is the most important event for the entire Jain order as the Tirthankar reinstates Jain Sangh and preaches the Jain path of purification and liberation. NIrvan KALYANAK : This event is when a Tirthankar’s soul is liberated from this worldly physical existence forever and becomes a Siddha. On this day, the Tirthankar’s soul destroys the four aghati karmas completely, and attains salvation, the state of eternal bliss.

    PANCHA PARAMESTHI Chapter 01 - Pancha Paramesthi Namo Arihantänam: I bow down to Arihanta, Namo Siddhänam: I bow down to Siddha, Namo Äyariyänam: I bow down to Ächärya, Namo Uvajjhäyänam: I bow down to Upädhyäy, Namo Loe Savva-Sähunam: I bow down to Sädhu and Sädhvi. Eso Pancha Namokkäro: These five fold reverence (bowings downs), Savva-Pävappanäsano: Destroy all the sins, Manglänancha Savvesim: Amongst all that is auspicious, Padhamam Havai Mangalam: This Navakär Mantra is the foremost. The Navakär Mantra is the most important mantra in Jainism and can be recited at any time. While reciting the Navakär Mantra, we bow down to Arihanta (souls who have reached the state of non-attachment towards worldly matters), Siddhas (liberated souls), Ächäryas (heads of Sädhus and Sädhvis), Upädhyäys (those who teach scriptures and Jain principles to the followers), and all (Sädhus and Sädhvis (monks and nuns, who have voluntarily given up social, economical and family relationships). Together, they are called Pancha Paramesthi (The five supreme spiritual people). In this Mantra we worship their virtues rather than worshipping any one particular entity; therefore, the Mantra is not named after Lord Mahävir, Lord Pärshva- Näth or Ädi-Näth, etc. When we recite Navakär Mantra, it also reminds us that, we need to be like them. This mantra is also called Namaskär or Namokär Mantra because in this Mantra we offer Namaskär (bowing down) to these five supreme group beings. Recitation of the Navakär Mantra creates positive vibrations around us, and repels negative ones. The Navakär Mantra contains the foremost message of Jainism. The message is very clear.

  • Depiction of Yaksha and Yakshi's in Jainism
    International Journal of Applied Research 2016; 2(2): 616-618 ISSN Print: 2394-7500 ISSN Online: 2394-5869 Impact Factor: 5.2 Depiction of Yaksha and Yakshi’s in Jainism IJAR 2016; 2(2): 616-618 www.allresearchjournal.com Received: 13-12-2015 Dr. Venkatesha TS Accepted: 15-01-2016 Jainism, one of the oldest living faiths of India, has a hoary antiquity in Karnataka. No doubt, Dr. Venkatesha TS UGC-POST Doctoral Fellow this religion took its birth in North India. However, within a couple of centuries of its birth, Department of Studies and this religionis said to have entered into Karnataka. Jaina tradition ascribes III C.B.C. as the Research in History and date of entry of this religion to south India, and in particular to Karnataka. After this period Archaeology Tumkur Jainism grew from strength to strength and heralded a glorious era, never to be witnessed in University, Tumkur-572103 any part of India, to become a religion next only to Brahmanism in popularity and number. Though Jainism was spread over different parts of south India within the first few centuries of the Christian era, its nucleus as well as the stronghold was southern Karnataka. In fact, it is the general opinion that the history of Jainism in south India is predominantly the history of that religion in Karnataka. Such was the prominence that this religion enjoyed throughout the first millennium A.D. Liberal royal patronage extended by the Kadambas, the Gangas, the Chalukyas of Badami, the Rashtrakutas, the Nolambas, the Kalyana Chalukyas, the Hoysalas, the Vijayanagar rulers and their successors, resulted in the uninterrupted growth of this religion in southern Karnataka.

Finally, my dream came true and after six years of my effort and with the help of some Jain community members in India, finally I have put together this document. It took me this long because I had to struggle to get lots of information and talked to many scholars, Sadhus in India to get information, particularly about Dev Devies, particularly 16 Vidya Devies, as this information is not available in original Jain scriptures. Dev Devies came about seventh century in the era of Sri Yasovijay Maharaj Saheb. He was the big sadhak of Sri Saraswati Devi. With the help of her sadhana, he convinced many Brahamins about Jain religion and philosophy. I would like to thank Dr.

PEEFACE TT is with grateful acknowledgment that I dedicate this volume to my friend and colleague. Professor C. C. Uhlenbeck, Ph.D., who, as my guru at the University of Amsterdam, was the first to introduce me to a knowledge of the mysterious Naga world as revealed in the archaic prose of the Paushyaparvan. In the summer of the year 1901 a visit to the Kulu valley brought me face to face with people who still pay reverence to those very serpent-demons known from early Indian literature. In the course of my subsequent wanderings through the Western Himalayas, which in their remote valleys have preserved so many ancient beliefs and customs, I had ample opportunity for collecting information regarding the worship of the Nagas, as it survives up to the present day. Other nations have known or still practise this form of animal worship. But it would be difficult to quote another instance in which it takes such a prominent place in literature folk-lore, and art, as it does in India.

Member of the Imperial Academy of Sciences, Vienna. TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN. EDITED with an OUTLINE of JAINA MYTHOLOGY BY JAs. BURGESS, C.I.E., LL.D., F.R.S.E. LONDON : LUZAC & Co., PUBLISHERS TO THE INDIA OFFICE 46, Great Russell Street 1903. PRINTED BY E. J. BRILL, LEYDEN (Holland). PREFACE. The late Dr. Georg Biihler s essay Ueber die Indische Secte der Jaina, read at the anniversary meeting of the Imperial Academy of Sciences of Vienna on the 26 th May 1887, has been for some time out of print in the separate form. Its value as a succinct account of the Sravaka sect, by a scholar conversant with them and their religious literature is well known to European scholars; but to nearly all educated natives of India works pu blished in German and other continental languages are practically sealed books, and thus the fresh information which they are well able to contribute is not elicited. It is hoped that the translation of this small work may meet with their acceptance and that of Europeans in India and elsewhere to whom the original is either unknown or who do not find a foreign language so easy to read as their own. The translation has been prepared under my supervision, and with a few short footnotes. Professor Biihler s long note on the authenticity of the Jaina PREFACE.

Elphinsione College^ Bomhay^ 20lh February 1907. To The director op PUBLIC INSTRUCTION, Poona. Sir, * I have the honour to submit the following report of the tours I made through Central India and Rajputana in the beginning of 1905 and that of 1906 in accordance with the Resolutions of Government, Nos. 2321 and 660 in the Educational Department, dated the 14th December 1904 and 12th April 1905, respectively. 2. A copy of the first resolution reached me during the Christ- mas holidays of 1904^ but it was February before I could be relieved of my duties at College. So I started on my tour in February soon after I was relieved. 3. The place I was most anxious to visit first for several reasons was Jaisalmer. It lies in the midst of a sandy desert, ninety miles from the nearest railway station, a journey usually done on camel back. Dr. Biihler, who had visited the place in January 1874, had remarked about ^* the tedious journey and the not less tedious stay in this country of sand, bad water, and guinea-worms,'' and the Resident of the Western Rajputana States, too, whom I had seen in January 1904, had spoken to me of the very tedious and troublesome nature of the journey.

The three main principles of Jainism are ahimsa (‘non-violence”) anekantavada (‘non-absolutism’) and aparigraha (non-attachment’): it is also characterized by asceticism. Followers of Jainism take five main vows: ahimsa (‘non-violence’), satya (‘truth’), asteya (‘not stealing’), brahmacharya (‘celibacy’, ‘chastity’), and aparigraha (‘non-attachment’). These principles have impacted Jain culture n many ways, such as leading to a predominantly vegetarian lifestyle that avoids harm to animals and their life cycles. Parasparopagraho Jivanam(‘the function of souls is to help one another’) is the motto of Jainism. Namokar Mantra is the most common and basic prayer in Jainism. Followers of Jainism are called “Jains”, a word derived from the Sanskrit word jinaI (‘victor’) and connoting the path of victory n crossing over life’s stream of rebirths through an ethical and spiritual life. Jains trace their history through a succession of twenty-four victorious saviors and teachers known as Tirthankaras, with the first being Rishabhanatha, who is believed to have lived millions of years ago, and twenty-fourth being the Mahavira around 500 BCE. Jains believe that Jainism is an eternal dharma with the Tirthankaras guiding every cycle of the Jain cosmology. Jainism has two major ancient sub-traditions, Digambaras and Svetambaras: and several smaller sub-traditions that emerged in the 2nd millennium CE.
