LECTURES FROM JAIN SWAMIS & SCHOLARS

Film "JAIN ENLIGHTENMENT - A Cosmic Way of Life" shows the scientific cosmology of Jain Dharma dating beyond 2,600 B.C.

The greatness of the Jain Dharma is its scientific knowledge that dates beyond the time of Alexander ... Jain scriptures discuss the cosmology of the world which is also shown in the film above ...

ONE OF THE OLDEST JAIN TEMPLES IN MUMBAI

Visited this Jain Temple in Malabar Hill in Mumbai, located at Walkeshwar on Ridge Road near the family Hanging Gardens. Filmed the temple, while talking in whispers to Jains who discussed "How do one define what a temple should be?

"A temple is any place that provides us a clean peaceful environment for introspection and learning".

"It could be in your heart, in your home, in your community or in your state. Since emphasis is on introspection and learning, external grandeur & presence or absence of statues is of little relevance. Following the path laid down by Tirthankars, in day to day life is more important than worshipping them or performing rituals. Asking for boons or favors or forgiveness is down right meaningless ..."

"Worship and prayers offered by Jains ... pay reverance to the qualities of the Tirthankars (Prophets) on the path of liberation. The purpose being that such qualities may be acquired by the worshiper by following in their foot steps - through action not devotion: after all one learns best by examples. Nowhere is it implied however, that the Tirthanka will carry the follower or even hold his hand. They have set the example. Now it is up to Jain followers to be inspired and act, to liberate their souls.

Jain philosophy reads there is ‘No creator, ruler or controller’ of the mind.

Available in digital video, exclusive for worldwide TV & sale of DVDs

I was completely inspired by the writing of Takeo Kamiya, Japanese Architect who believes that "Ranakpur is the best piece of archtecture in India". I found him on the Internet and pay him due respect for what he taught me through his books on Jainism:

NAMOKAR MOHA MAHTRA ... Listen to video by H. H. Paramahamsa

Daily Mantra Prayer:


Every day Jains bow their heads and say their universal prayer, the Navkar-mantra. All good work and events start with this prayer of salutation and worship.


Namo Arihantanam: - I bow to the enlightened souls


Namo Siddhanam: - I bow to the liberated souls


Namo Ayariyanam: - I bow to religious leaders


Namo Uvajjayanam: - I bow to religious teachers


Namo Loe Savva Sahunam: - I bow to all monks of the world


Eso Panch Namukkaro: - These five salutations are capable of


Savva Pava Panasano: destroying all the sins and this is


Mangalancha Savvesin the first happiness among all forms


Padhamam Havai Mangalam: of happiness.


In this prayer, Jains do not ask for any favors or material benefits from their Tirthankaras, living monks, nuns and statues of the gods and godesses. They do not pray to one specific Tirthankara or monk by name. By saluting all of them, Jains receive the inspiration from the five benevolent for the right path of true happiness and total freedom from the misery of life.


This mantra is the theme song linking the 5-part digital film TV series titled: "JAIN ENLIGHTENMENT - A Cosmic Way of Life."
