14 Heavenly Miracles in 'Samavsharan'

Short description of yet another 14 Atishay created by celestial beings in 'Samavsharan of Arihantas' is as follows:-

Image depicting Samavsharan
  1. 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.
  2. 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. 
  3. Trees and Plants blossom altogether with flowers and fruits as if all the weather   conditions prevail at the same time.
  4.  The land becomes rich with gemstones.
  5.   The sky becomes clear like glass.
  6.    All living beings attending 'Samavsharan' are filled with utmost happiness and        joy inside.
  7.   Sweet smelling breeze blows in the direction where the Omniscient moves.
  8.  This breeze cleans away the land from dust, thorns, insects, pebbles, stones, sand       and grit etc till 1 yojan where the 'Arihant' stand.
  9.  Fragrant rains are observed.
  10.  The celestial angels create a total of 225 beautiful golden lotus flowers down the   foot of 'Kevalgyani'  (one exactly down the foot, 7-7 flowers in all 8 directions,   another 7-7 flowers in between these 8 directions. This completes a total of 113   flowers. Now yet another 7-7 flowers in between  those 16 disected directions. This   makes yet another 112 flowers. So, adding up 113 and 112 we get a total of 225   golden lotus flowers in Samavsharan.)
  11.  The land seems excited yet serene, becomes lush rich from fruits, flowers, cereals     etc.
  12.  The sky becomes crystal clear and all the four directions get cleared off from dust and darkness.
  13.  All heavenly beings (divided into 4 categories namely Jyotish dev, Vyantar dev, Kalpvasi dev and Bhawanwasi dev) by permission of 'Indra dev' give a call out to the earthly souls to come to 'Samavsharan'.
  14. The 'Dharma Chakra' comprising of brightly shining 1000 arcs and colourful rainbow luminance of exquisite gemstones around it paves the way for 'God' wherever he moves.

    Very Nice expanation!! One thing I want to say is that, in the 1st picture, sun and moon are shown. But in the Samavsharan there is no Sun or moon.

    Check Bhaktamar Stotra 19 for detail.

    Sanskrit Sloka
    किं शर्वरीषु शशिनाऽह्नि विवस्वता वा ।
    युष्मन्मुखेन्दु दलितेषु तमस्सु नाथ ॥
    निष्मन्न शालिवनशालिनि जीव लोके ।
    कार्यं कियज्जलधरैर् जलभार नम्रैः ॥१९॥

    Hindi Meaning
    हे स्वामिन्! जब अंधकार आपके मुख रुपी चन्द्रमा के द्वारा नष्ट हो जाता है तो रात्रि में चन्द्रमा से एवं दिन में सूर्य से क्या प्रयोजन? पके हुए धान्य के खेतों से शोभायमान धरती तल पर पानी के भार से झुके हुए मेघों से फिर क्या प्रयोजन |

    आपने मेरा ब्लॉग पढ़ा, इसके लिए धन्यवाद🙏😊
    परंतु भक्तामर के श्लोक समोशरण का वर्णन नहीं करते हैं। ये तो आचार्य मानतुंग द्वारा भक्तिवश की गई आदिनाथ प्रभु की स्तुति है। इस श्लोक का समोशरण से कोई तात्पर्य नहीं। Both, Sun & Moon are 'Jyotishk Dev' in Jainism. They attend Samavsharans.🙏

    सूर्य और चंद्रमा दोनों ही जैन आगम में ज्योतिषिवासी देव बताए गए हैं और समोशरण में १०० प्रकार के भव्य देव आते ही हैं।

Jambudweep and Ujjayani

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

Mainasundari

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
