Gandharvad, which is prominent in the theology of the world

- Identity of the sky - Kumarapala Desai

- We saw that the first characteristic of Gandharvad was that in those days the biggest thing was to defeat the one who had a dissenting opinion or a believer in theory or philosophy. The glory of one's vote was sung by attacking the opposing vote with an aggressive word.

It is not enough to be proud of the Gandharism in which the excellent philosophy of Jain philosophy is depicted, but it is necessary to grasp the elements and implicit mysteries within it. It is also a matter of great surprise and a little shock that today in Ganadharvad there is talk of the meeting of Lord Mahavira Swami and eleven Ganadhars.

At most, the answer given by Lord Mahavira after revealing the doubts in the minds of the eleven Ganadhars is depicted, but the features of Gandharvad, which are prominent not only in Indian but also in the world's philosophy, are rarely considered.

We have seen that the first characteristic of Ganadharvad was that in those days the greatest thing was to defeat the one who had a dissenting opinion or a believer in doctrine or philosophy. The glory of one's vote was sung by attacking the opposing vote with an aggressive word. Different religions of the world tend to attack opposing views in their propaganda and even in Indian philosophy there was a debate on close doctrines like Advaita and Vishistadvaita and whoever was defeated would accept other views.

Lord Mahavira turned the whole history upside down and he explained the truth to these Pandits and Mahapandits who have been studying Vedas for years through the same Vedapada. The position (sutra) was of the Vedas, but since its interpretation is flawed, they explain their idea by taking the same position. They explain their philosophy not only by one Veda, but also by interpreting other Vedas. By explaining the meaning of the things described in the Vedas to the Vedic scholars, they can understand the philosophical vision given by Lord Mahavira intuitively.

In the world, on the other hand, the order is usually found when the disciple asks the question and the guru answers. While the style of writing of Gandharism is of a special kind. There are many instances in the world of curiosity manifested before the Guru and the knowledge received from the Guru in return. The Greek philosopher Socrates was asked a question by his disciple Plato, and Socrates answered it. The bhikkhu used to express his curiosity to Lord Buddha as a question and Lord Buddha used to settle it.

In the Bhagavad Gita, Arjuna reveals his doubts to Lord Krishna, and Lord Krishna dispels Arjuna's doubts. From Gautamswami to Jayanti Sravika, everyone has asked questions to Lord Mahaviraswamy himself with curiosity. This shows that the questioner is inquisitive and the respondent is knowledgeable. While in Gangharism both doubt and compromise show Lord Mahavira. They first self-reveal and then answer the doubts in the minds of the Pandits.

Thus, instead of presenting an opposing opinion or doubt with an argument, they say it themselves and then they answer it. In this North there is an in-depth consideration of the subtle and transcendental elements. Acharya Jinbhadrasuri's texts of the time used various philosophical aspects and the philosophy is presented here according to the same style.

One of the reasons for this type of drawing method is to show the omniscience of Lord Mahavira. Why should the omniscient be called doubt? They must know the doubts that surround the Sami person's mind. So how appropriate is the composition that the pundits ask the question and answer it themselves? It is only fitting that both doubt and reconciliation are drawn by Lord Mahavira. When every Pandit comes to Lord Mahavira, Lord Mahavira addresses him by his name and gotra and then says the doubt in his mind.

This incident of Gandharism is first mentioned in the expression 'essential formula'. The 8th saga of essential Nirukit is as follows

Jive kamme tajjiv bhuy

Tarisaya Bandhamokkheya.

God bless you

परल्लोय नेव्वाणे ।।

In this saga, the doubts expressed by the eleven Ganadhars are gradually shown as follows: (1) Is there a living being or not? 2) Is it karma or not? 2) Is the body the same creature or another? 2) Is it Panchbhoot or not? 2) Is it the same as life in this bhav or is it the same in parbhav? 2) Is there closed-moksha or not? 2) Is there a God or not? 2) Is it hell or not? 3) Is it a virtue-sin or not? 10) Is it afterlife or not ?, 11) Is it Nirvana or not?

He who is omniscient knows everything. That is why Lord Mahavira himself expresses the unresolved doubt that has been in the minds of Ganadhars for years. By this his omniscience is super manifested. Another important point in Gandharism is that it has a reputation for logic. Lord Mahavira himself, being omniscient, does not ask these Ganadhars to accept his word, but he suggests all Ganadhars to think ideologically rationally. This is why logic comes first in Ganadharvad and then faith.

There is no such thing as insistence on accepting what is true, but accept it for what is logical. Philosophical texts usually have their own point of view. Sometimes it is presented with an aggressive or insistent aggressive speech. Thus in the Indian system itself, one's ideology was manifested through refutation.

In it, Lord Mahavira glorifies reason and speaks in a different way. In this way, in the Upanishads of Hinduism or in the Bhagavad Gita, in the Tripitaka of Buddhism, or even in the dialogues used in the Jain Agams themselves, the specific dialogue structure of Gandharism is different. Its distinctive depiction, balance of logic and faith, respect for opposing views and a coordinated view are unparalleled.

On the other hand, let us consider the Syadvad style of Jainism and Anekantism. The adversary may also have a piece of truth and therefore his idea should be respected. This kind of respect is also found in Gandharism.

This incident happened when Lord Mahavira Swami was sitting in samvasarana in Apapa town. This Apapapuri means 'city without sin'. Surprisingly, at the time of Nirvana, Lord Mahavira was sitting in Apapapuri. It was named 'Pavapuri' after the Nirvana of God in this Apapapuri. Many secrets of Gandharism have remained almost unknown and so we will think more about it now and then.
