Realization of the same enables mankind to tread on the path of Non-Violence and Truth thus paving the way for a harmonious society and self-sustained environment. Spirituality is the backbone of Jaina Philosophy and Ancient Wisdom and this is the subject matter of the current publication titled, ‘The Pure Soul its Infinite Treasure’, authored by Dr. Jayantilal Jain and jointly published by the Department of Jainology, University of Madras and Research Foundation For Jainology, Chennai. The Department of Jainology which was instituted at the University of Madras in 1983 with an Endowment Fund provided by the Research Foundation for Jainology is now a full-fledged main stream Department since 2003. The Ministry of Tourism and Culture, Government of India sanctioned Rupees Fifty Lakhs as Corpus fund to the Department, on the eve of the Bhagwan Mahavir 2600th Janma Kalyanak Mahotsav in April 2003. The Department is conducting various research and publication works in this fund. Since then the Department has brought out four publications and this is the fifth publication but for the first time a thesis on spirituality is being published under the above Endowment Fund, and it is the twelfth publication of the Department of Jainology. Research Foundation for Jainology has supported the Department in all its academic endeavors and this time too they have generously come forward to jointly publish this thesis which will be very helpful for the students as well as aspirants to understand the nature of the Pure Soul. We are grateful to the University authorities for giving permission to publish the abridged version of the thesis and all others connected with the publication of the same. Krishnachandd Chordia Dr. Priyadarshana Jain General Secretary Asst. Prof. and Head i/c Research Foundation Department of Jainology For Jainology University of Madras. Chennai-600 079. Chennai - 600 005. Pure Soul and its Infinite Treasure PREFACE The soul is a treasure house of infinite knowledge, vision, happiness, power and so on about which we have very little knowledge. Some have misgivings and some even doubt the very existence of soul. Absence of this knowledge subjects an individual to many illusionary ideas and consequent anxieties and unhappiness in life. This book on treasure of pure soul is a summary of the concept of pure soul as enunciated by the Tirthankaras, spiritual scientists and innumerable scholars, in Jain tradition, known to mankind from time immemorial. The subject is subtle, complex, defies normal human understanding and no one can claim to cover the same in its various dimensions. This is a small attempt to summarise the existing knowledge on the subject. The first four chapters provide the background and introduce certain concepts which are essential for better understanding of the subject. Chapters V and VII primarily deal with the treasure of soul in terms of forty seven properties and then over one thousand names or characteristics respectively where each one of them can further be visualised in various forms that a soul takes and each form/modification comprising of operation of infinite characteristics. Chapter VI emphasises that the concept of soul has secular underpinnings and should not be believed to belong to one or a few religious groups. This is applicable to all living beings in the universe and does not apply only to a part of the universe or a group of beings in the universe. On the basis of concept of pure soul, it also lays down certain secular/eternal /common standards that should be satisfied while considering a concept as secular. This book is an abridged version of my thesis submitted to the Department of Jainology, University of Madras, in partial fulfilment of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in 2005. In terms of references for this concept, the narration is based on the Annexure to the commentary of Amritchandra on Samayasar of Kundakunda and Jinsena’s Jinasahastranama. Pure Soul and its Infinite Treasure Kundakunda’s major works like Samayasar, Pravanchanasar and Niyamasar have also considerably influenced the reasoning advocated in different chapters. My endeavour here is to provide a text on pure soul that will be useful to anyone interested in the subject and promote further insight into the same. Special care has been taken to avoid, to a great extent, use of Sanskrit or Prakrit words to facilitate smooth reading and understanding of the subject, keeping in mind the interest of non-scholar Jains, non-Jains and Non-Hindi speaking readers. I am thankful to Dr. Priyadarshana Jain, Head i/c of the Department of Jainology, University of Madras for her inifiative to publish this work under the Bhagawan Mahaveer Endowment Publication and Sri Krishna Chand, Secretary Research Foundation for Jainology, Chennai for sponsoring this publication. The cover page, picture on Dhyan and Mystic is from the well-known paintings of Kavita Shah, the Map of Universe is from Trilok Bhaskar by Ariyaka Jnanmati, the picture on Existence of Pure Soul is from Jain Dharam by Babulal Jain, picture on Destruction of Karma is from the journal, Dharma-Mangal, October 07. I am sure that there will be tremendous change in the perception of life of all those who will read and understand this text and will find easy access to the infinite treasure of pure soul and eternal happiness. Chennai Jayanti Lal Jain July 1, 2010 Professor Emeritus, Department of Jainology University of Madras Pure Soul and its Infinite Treasure Chapter I ToWARDS UNIVersAL HAppINess Wealth causes sufferings... Soul is exceedingly blissful Pujyapad Acharya, Ishtopadesh, Verse 1, 1 Our economic and social endeavours aim at maximisation of satisfaction/happiness/welfare of individuals and society while Philosophy aims at enhancing happiness through spiritual endeavours. The concept of happiness and liberation whether economic liberation or liberation from the worldly existence sound the same.The extension of economic happiness to that of happiness of a pure soul is purposeful as one should not think that economic liberalisation is the only objective of life. The concept of spiritual happiness helps to solve the problems of present society such as–mental tensions, violence, preservation of ecological equilibrium and conflicts of ideologies and faiths. Scientists live in the present and try to solve the present day problems with the help of machines and equipments. The person engaged in spiritual experiences, tries to solve the problem of misery and unhappiness for all times to come by realising eternal happiness. Scientists manage the present and ignore the future while one who seeks spiritual happiness makes himself happy in the present and also eternally in future as well. Towards Universal Happiness Happiness is a complicated phenomenon whether material or spiritual. While a man is one, to divide his requirement of happiness into two is not necessarily a right thing. Man is a whole and he has to be dealt with accordingly to adequately explain the happiness that one derives from spiritual endeavours as against economic endeavours. The society should move towards a theme on globalisation of happiness and peace, as against globalisation of economic power or business, free trade or laissez faire as being advocated in contemporary economic policy. The foundations of such a theme of universal happiness and harmony are as follows. 1. Community of Pure Souls - All humans/creatures are souls, and they are all equal in their potential. It is the deeds that make the differences. If this realisation comes, there will be love and reverence for each soul, rather than hatred, conflict or violence. This universalisation of community of souls needs popularisation. As against globalisation of violence, there has to be globalisation of happiness. 2. Ecology of Self - All religions agree that an individual is a soul and has something to do with good or bad deeds. If assumed to be soul, we have no option to become a non- soul substance.

  • Topic 5. the Nature of Jiva and Isvara. 1. Both Are Reflections. the Reflection of Consciousness in Maya Which Is Indescribable As Real Or Unreal Is Isvara
    Topic 5. The nature of jiva and isvara. 1. Both are reflections. The reflection of consciousness in maya which is indescribable as real or unreal is Isvara. The reflection of consciousness in the infinite number of limited parts of maya, which have avarana and vikshepasakti and which are known as avidya is jiva. The part of maya with both avarana and vikshepa sakti is avidya. This is the view of Prakatarthakara. 2. Mulaprakriti is maya when it is predominantly pure sattva not overcome by rajas and tamas and it is avidya when it is impure sattva subordinated by rajas and tamas. The reflection in maya is Isvara and the reflection in avidya is jiva. This is the view of Swami Vidyaranya in Tattvaviveka, chapter 1 of Panchadasi. 3. Mulaprakriti itself with vikshepasakti being predominant is maya and is the upadhi of Isvara. With avarana sakti being predominent, mulaprakriti is avidya and it is the upadhi of jiva. Because of this, jiva has the experience of being ignorant, but not Isvara. This is the view of some. 4. Samkshepasariraka view—The reflection of consciousness in avidya is Isvara and the reflection in the mind is jiva. In the above views in which Isvara and jiva are reflections, the bimba (prototype) is pure consciousness (Brahman ) which is attained by the liberated. 5. Chitradipa view: Giving up the threefold aspect of Brahman as pure consciousness, Isvara, and jiva, a fourfold aspect is postulated. The reflection in ajnana tinged with the vasanas in the minds of all living beings, which is dependent on Brahman is Isvara.

  • A Catechism on Hinduism
    A CATECHISM ON HINDUISM SWAMI KRISHNANANDA The Divine Life Society Sivananda Ashram, Rishikesh, India Website: www.swami-krishnananda.org (Swami Krishnananda answers questions regarding Hinduism) Q: When was Hinduism founded? A: The word ‘Hinduism’ originated due to historical and linguistic circumstances, and refers to what more properly be designated as Bharatiya-dharma, or Sanatana-dharma. There is no personal founder for Hinduism. People who follow the faith or religion which goes by the name of Hinduism hold that the foundation of this outlook of life, or way of living, is eternal, since the way of life is an expression of the basic law operating in the universe. In fact, what popularly is known as Hinduism is a practical and ethical manifestation in day-to-day living of what should be considered as the inviolable law of existence, both in its immutable form known as Satya and operating form known as Rita. Hence, the name Sanatana (eternal or ever-present) associated with this inclusive ‘attitude to life’. Q: Where was it founded, and who founded it? A: Hinduism is not believed to be founded in any place, since it has no founder. Q: What were the prevailing circumstances when it was founded? A: While Hinduism has no founder, and therefore no circumstances can be cited in that regard, students of Hinduism and scholars who are accustomed to do research in its field have usually traced some sort of a logical background of the general structure of Hinduism in the panoramic vision of the Supreme Being as recorded in the Veda-Samhitas, which are supposed to find their detailed promulgation in the Brahmanas, Aranyakas and Upanishads.

SUBBA ROW AN APPRECIATION MY acquaintance with T. Subba Row began at the end of 1884, when I came here to Madras and settled down with the intention of practising in the High Court. It was at the Theosophical Convention of 1884 that I first met him, and from the very first moment became so deeply attracted to him as to make it difficult for me to understand why it was so. My admiration of his ability was so great that I began to look upon him almost from that time as a great man. He was a very well-made robust man, and strikingly intellectual. When H. P. B. was here, he was known to be a great favourite of hers. It was said that he first attracted " her attention by a paper called The Twelve Signs of the Zodiao ", which was afterwards published. At the Convention, there was much talk on various topics, and he always spoke with decision, and his views carried great weight. But he spoke little and only what was necessary. There was then a small committee of which Colonel Olcott was the Presi- dent.

  • Homeokinetic Mind and Equanimity (Sthita-Prajnata)
    1 Homeokinetic Mind: Equanimity (Sthita-Prajnaa) and Self-Renewal Vinod D Deshmukh, MD PhD [email protected] Abstract Homeokinetics is an extension of the concept of homeostasis. „Homeo‟ means the same; „stasis‟ means a steady state and „kinetic‟ means a dynamic movement. Homeostasis is defined as a tendency toward a relatively stable internal environment in organisms through interacting physiological processes. It implies maintenance of an internal steady state of an organism by means of self-regulation. It also includes a stable psychological condition of an individual with respect to opponent psychodynamic forces like drives, desires, emotions, and motivations. Homeokinetics emphasizes a tendency toward relatively stable rate of change of internal environment of an organism and its mental activity. Organisms, including humans, are complex self-organizing systems, which are governed by thermodynamic principles with transportation of molecules, energy, and information across its biophysical and cognitive border to maintain their functional form, self-integrity, and behavior. A river represents a typical homeokinetic system. It is not static but a dynamic process. It consists of ever-fluctuating water molecules, „atomisms‟ at one level of observation, and a collective and continuous form, „continuum‟ at another. The river is both, ever-new, and ever-the-same, depending on one‟s perspective. Most of the complex living systems, like organism, mind, and society, are homeokinetically organized in a nested hierarchy. The mind (Antah-karana) in Vedanta is considered to be the internal organ of action (Karma), cognition (Jnaana), and experience (Bhoga). It includes four hierarchical components: sense of self with intentionality (Aham-bhava), memory (Chitta), discriminating intelligence (Buddhi), and thought-emotion (Manas).

  • The Marian Journal Keeping Members and Friends of the Order of the Most Holy Mary Theotokos Informed
    The Marian Journal Keeping members and friends of the Order of the Most Holy Mary Theotokos informed. “The Old Catholic Marianists” February 2015 Volume 6, Number 1 In a sincere desire to share the joyful happiness of our hearts, we present this February 2015 edition of “The Marian Journal”. (The ordination of women to ministerial or priestly office is a regular practice among some major religious groups of the present time, as it was of several religions of antiquity. It remains a controversial issue in certain religions or denominations where the ordination, the process by which a person is consecrated and set apart for the administration of various religious rites, or where the role that an ordained person fulfills, has traditionally been restricted to men. That traditional restriction might have been due to cultural prohibition or theological doctrine, or both. In some cases women have been permitted to be ordained, but not to hold higher positions, such as Bishop. In O.SS.T., we believe that all Holy Orders (bishops, priests, and deacons) are open to both men and women, single or married.) In this Issue: Women’s Ordination Women’s by Ordination Page 1.

  • Powers of Atman: 47 Shaktiyan As Described by Acharya Amritchandra
    47 Powers of Soul 47 Shaktiyan as described by Acharya Amritchandra Dr Narayan Lal Kachhara With a Foreword and Summary by Dr Paras Mal Agrawal Publisher 1 Foreword I feel privileged to have an opportunity of writing a few words regarding the author and the subject matter of this publication. Dr. Narayan Lal Kachhara is a dedicated Jain scholar. It is his mission that the novel, valuable, and powerful concepts described by Jain Acharyas become available to English speaking community. By profession he is a Mechanical Engineer. This makes his writing concise and scientific. Earlier I came across his work on Karma Theory, Vargana, etc. But when he showed me this work on 47 Shaktiyan, then I realized that his interest in Adhyatmic aspect of Jainology can be valuable to all those who want to read Adhyatma in simple language. Samayasaar is the best work of Acharya Kundkund who is regarded as the most respectable Digambar Acharya of the modern fifth era. 1000 years after Acharya Kundkund, Acharya Amritchandra wrote the commentary on Samayasaar. It is known as Atmkhyati. The work of Dr. Kachhara presented here is based on the description given by Acharya Amritchandra in the appendix of Atmkhyati. In Atmkhyati, we find the narration of 47 Shaktiyan in about two pages just after Kalash number 263. For many, it may be very difficult to comprehend the two pages written by Acharya Amritchandra. Dr. Kachhara also got interested in this treasure only when he read the detailed explanation of Amritchandra’s work presented by Dr. Hukum Chand Bharill in Gyayak Bhava Prabodhini Hindi Tika of Samayasaar.

I propose that though Cather is seldom considered a modernist, her interest in spirituality parallels Virginia Woolf's interest in moments of heightened consciousness, and that she invented ways to express ineffable connections with a spiritual dimension of life.
