Vardhaman means uninterrupted revolution, Mahavira means human pride

On the day of birth-reading of Bhagavan Mahavira, when the time of birth of Lord Mahavira will be read from the scripture 'Kalpasutra', let us consider the world light given by him. When Lord Mahavira was born, all the creatures on earth were afflicted at that time. A few heaven-loving men had made hell for the vast masses of the earth. He made this world miserable by giving the sweet temptation of the afterlife. The man sat down to open the destiny. By disabling his arms, legs and brain, he was driven away from masculinity. He began to believe that whatever happens is due to destiny, but he did not accept that destiny is also created by masculinity. Instead of trying, he lived on his own. At that time and at that time temples became the abode of Maya and Mada. Yajna and Dakshina were its main functions.

Knowledge was in the hands of a handful of people. Penance was also under the control of some people. What is knowledge other than the poor and the weak? The woman's condition was critical. She was also a slave to slavery. It was considered to be a storehouse. His independent personality was disliked by that era. Salvation of the leper was easy, but salvation of the woman was impossible without death. The four races behaved like snakes and weasels with high prices. There was a heavy caffeine of innate size. There was no end to the plight of slaves and untouchables. He had no home on earth. The rampant oppression and reckless torture of the upper castes was to be borne by the dumb.

Lord Mahavira first started a revolution. He said that knowledge is not only for the wise, but also for the common man. Their language should be spoken in a way that ordinary people can understand. At that time the language of the masses was half-hearted. Lord Mahavira preached in Ardhamagadhi language that Sahu could understand. Mahavira's teachings were understood by Sahu and the door of self-sufficiency was opened for all. Lord Mahavira made two great reforms to give woman freedom. One said that celibacy was included in the vows and the other said that if a woman becomes a sannyasi and is initiated, she will be free from all bondage. Lord Mahavira showed the woman a beacon to reach the highest peak of spirituality.

Lord Mahavira removed the importance of caste and caste and established the greatness of character. He said, not by birth, but by karma one becomes a Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya and Shudra.

Thus he brought the Shudras out of the darkness of slavery and gave them dominion over the beasts. He said that men and women of any caste can accept this religion. This is considered to be a great social revolution of Lord Mahavira. He changed the whole situation. This truth, which grew from the depths of the soul, took a permanent form in the society.

Lord Mahavira expressed his thoughts with fearlessness and determination. Radically revolutionized the notion of the high and the low. Said that all are the same in terms of self. Brahmin or Shudra, woman or man, young or old, Rai or Rank, whoever does purushartha is entitled to Moksha. It was in support of this that he made Chandanbala the first nun. Relying on God's grace, he abolished the bondage of human beings living by destiny, preached manhood and said,

'No matter how great God is, no matter what his paradise is, there is no one greater than man. If man keeps humanity, God will also be at his feet! '

"Instead of the thousands of warriors who win in a formidable war, the victory of the one who wins alone is considered the ultimate victory," he said.

Mahavira showed the world the power of soul and body. During the 12-and-a-half years of the sadhana period, he ate only 7 days and the only tank he got. Fasted all other days except using water. Saadhak had done dehydrated penance for 9,12 days out of 5,615 days of his life. Were traveling thousands of miles. No clothes on the body, no umbrella on the head, no shoes on the feet, he showed that the power of the human soul is strange.

Lord Mahavira established the battle of vote and religion as secondary. Resolved every opinion of the world with relative truth. Giving non-violence in conduct. Anekant gave in thought. Gave a sigh of relief. Established non-aggression in society.

Lord Mahavira tried to quell the controversy in the human heart of opinions, arguments, thoughts and beliefs. To do this, he gave an illustration of the seven different ways that blind people describe elephants. With this pluralism, human beings will start thinking from the point of view of others and if this happens, half of the world's sorrows will be lessened. Anekant shows the way to coordination and opposition. Vinobaji says that in the eyes of Anekanta, Tirthankar is a special gift to the world of Mahavira.

Einstein discovered relativity in the material world. Lord Mahavira showed the relativity of the world of business 200 years ago. Introducing Anekantism, Acharya Jinbhadraji says: 'Opposition to conflicting views remains as long as it is not harmonized as a whole by uniting all. Opposition is based on mutual faults or shortcomings.

Jainism has spoken of human dignity. Lord Mahavira said, 'You are your destiny.' He waged a jihad against the superstitions and beliefs of his time. Abandonment of stereotypes is disrespectful of superstition. Mahavira had only light. He removed the veil of belief, superstition and miracles around religion and said that religion is the only way to seek enlightenment and salvation.

Some religions have not been able to withstand the challenge of science. Science was included in the vision of Lord Mahavira. Dr. Jagadish Chandra Bose proved by experiment that there is life in plants. The watering gardener laughs when the tree comes, and the woodpecker laughs when it comes! This was said by Lord Rishabhdev before Lord Mahavira and Athiya. It contained knowledge of the many organisms in the tuber without any microscope. In fact, religion itself is a science. Religion has the truth of realization. Science has the truth of logic and experiment. If the style of religion is judged from the point of view of such science, then the truths of many religious experiences get the backing of science.

A Mahavrat spoken by Lord Mahavira is Asteya. Man should renounce all forms of theft. One should not take anything from anyone, one should not take anything from anyone and one should not give help or support in such work. He even said that even a trivial thing like a toothpick is not taken by restrained human beings without asking its owner, not being traded by others or giving his consent. When it comes to big things, what about? The ascetic should look for the innocent things that consume him. This means that one should consider the innocence of each item.

In the same way, he said, the soul that engages in immorality does not do as much evil to itself as the enemy who cuts its throat, so the root cause of happiness, peace and samadhi is instinctively and happily accepted restraint. On the other hand, it shows that Parigraha is the root of all sin. Not only the acquisition or collection of something is the parigraha, but the fainting and attachment to something is also the parigraha. Violence, lying, stealing, sex and attachment are the root of all five sins. Today we see that the main cause of the infinite suffering of the present world is the wandering perception of man.

Man believes that happiness comes from Parigraha, but in fact Parigraha is the cause of his sorrow and bondage as well as enslaves man to external things. His doctrine of non-acceptance leads to new hope and new equality. Ahimsa, Satya, Asteya, Brahmacharya and Aparigraha Apanch Yam must be practiced in life. The performer of this vow will be. Lord Mahavira says, "Just as the air exceeds the blazing flames, the ideal human being who lives in this way will cross the flames of the world and escape the bliss."

The revelation of the moment

The one who focuses only on the feelings of renunciation, penance, restraint and non-acquisition of Lord Mahavira will not even realize that he is talking about acquisition of wealth, enjoyment of wealth, accumulation of things or dissolution of acquisition. He did not forbid the human being living in the material world to earn money, but with his earning money, that is, whatever wealth a person acquires, morality should be considered. On the other hand, Parigraha receives, but instead of blindly pursuing Parigraha, he is asked to limit it and the third thing is to acquire wealth through compassion. It is said to acquire wealth by maintaining true compassion, not by depriving others of bread.

Now you just say that Param Tyagi, Charam Tirthankar spoke of such economics, did you know that? Nothing is decided by the label, right?
