Prashi Percept

Younger daughter of Prajapal was ‘Mainasundari’ . She was a pure soul, beautiful like a   fairy and well versed in Jain religion. She used to perform rituals to her deity using eight different ingredients namely- Jal (water),Chandan (Sandalwood paste), Akshat(Rice), Pushp (flowers shed by trees or plants on their own and not plucked), Naivaidhya (eatables and sweets like Puranpoli, Ghevar, Laddo etc.), Deep (Diyas), Dhoop (crushed sandalwood),and Phal( fruits: both green and dry). A mixture of all these 7 ingredients becomes Arghy. She got training and education from a Jain Muni Yamdhar who gave her knowledge of peaceful and joyous ‘Jinvani’ . Brief of the Jain ideology which was taught to Mainasundari by Muni Yamdhar has been written here:     1.    Violence, Untruthfulness, Stealing, Characterlessness and excess procurement of material things are five sins.    2.   Abandoning the above five sins is known as observing the five small fasts by the noble souls. These

‘Prajapal’ was the name of the king who ruled over the city of Ujjayani . He was a brave and courageous king who maintained a huge army, artillery and wise and experienced ministers. He was rich, powerful, wise in all aspects; ready to lay his life for the sake of his people. Therefore he was widely respected and obeyed. The king had a queen ‘SaubhagyaSundari’ and two daughters ‘Sursundari’ and ‘Madan Sundari’/ ‘MainaSundari’. Both his daughters were extremely pretty and as beautiful as a heavenly nymph. Daughters of King Prajapal Prajapal sent his elder daughter to the gurukul of a Brahman ‘Shiv Sharma’. She gained proficiency in Vedic texts- Rigveda, Yajurveda, Samveda, Atharvaveda, Markandeya Purana etc. She also learnt various art forms like acting, drama, dance, painting etc. Sursundari was much talented, skillful and an intelligent girl. Due to her hard luck, she was sent to an unrighteous, iniquitous Brahman teacher who made her well versed in Vedic rel

Maharaja Shrenik asked ‘Lord Mahavir ’ in the Samavsharan of the “Siddhachakravrat” ; its principles, constituents, its importance, its fundamental essence, why and who practiced it first and its result. Now here comes the tale of ‘ Shripal and Mainasundari’ which 'Lord Mahavir ' told as an answer to the question of Shrenik. Madhya Lok has infinite islands. In the mid of these islands is an isle called Jambudweep (the name Jambudweep has been given to this isle due to the abundance of Jambu trees here). Now at the center of Jambudweep lies the ‘Sumeru Parvat’. To the south of this Parvat exists the ‘Bharat Kshetra’ (the land of Bharat). In this Bahrat Kshetra there was a country called Avanti and therein was a city called ‘Ujjayani’. So going by the Jain cosmology, the city of our story lies somewhere here: Madhya Lok is the Mid level-Home of Humans and animals The city of Ujjayani was vast in size surrounded by deep moat all around it which was filled by f

Short description of yet another 14 Atishay created by celestial beings in ' Samavsharan of Arihantas'  is as follows:- Image depicting Samavsharan Exhortation/ Addressing the noble souls through 'Divya Dhwani ' i.e. the divine voice in 'Ardhamagadhi ' language. This Ardhamagadhi is one of the seven forms of Prakrit where Prakrit is one of the most oldest language known in the history of mankind. This 'Divya Dhwani' is a complete healer for all living beings and brings blissfulness and prosperity for those who listen and pay heed to it. All other noble living souls who attend 'Samavsharan' of 'Kevalgyani' leave their birth enemity (Jatigat bair as that of snake and mongoose) and dwell together with utmost friendship.  Trees and Plants blossom altogether with flowers and fruits as if all the weather   conditions prevail at the same time.   The land becomes rich with gemstones.   The sky becomes clear like glass.

Another 10 Atishay which emerge in and around the 'Arihant Tirthankaras' after they attain Kevalgyan(Omniscience) are as follows:- No drought conditions prevail in the area of 400 Kos equivalent to 100 Yojana where Kevalgyani Arihanta (Omniscient) stand. Kos and Yojana are a measure of distance as metre and Kilometre. The Omniscient gains the capability of 'Sky Travel' (of course! without use of any means of air transport). They don't hurt or disturb any living beings (not even the micro organisms). They don't feed themselves (no intake of food). No kind of problems or disruptions prevail in their surroundings. Their four faces in four directions can be seen i.e. they always seem like facing the one who see them. They possess excellence in each and every skill present in the universe. Their shadow vanishes away. They don't blink their eyes. Their hairs and nails don't grow.

Earlier I wrote about the 34 Atishay( Miracles) which happen to  Arihantas . Now coming to  10 among these miracles which are present by birth in Arihantas are:- They don't sweat. They never pee or excrete. The colour of their blood is as white as milk. Their body measurements are equally proportionate when measured through all four angles ( Samchaturastra Sansthan). They have most powerful, steel strong body( Vajramay Sehnan). They are handsome ( Kamdeva). They have a fragrant body. They have exquisite symptoms on their body (like moles, birthmarks). 9.  They are impregnable. 10. They always speak pleasant and righteous words.
