From Acharya Tulsi

 
 
Kalah kadagraha kutilta
Irshya dvesh vishad
Tab tak jab tak supta ho
Atma ka ahlad
 
As long as strife, malice, crookedness, jealousy, aversion, unhappiness etc. are active, ecstasy of the soul is not awakened. In order to awaken the ecstasy of the soul, it is essential to remain absorbed in the soul.

From Acharya Mahaprajna

 

Relativity is a Great Science

The word syaad informs us of relativity. Without it, we cannot know the truth nor can it be explained. This truth has been propounded two thousand five hundred years ago but our philosophers could not hold on to it. We should confer monk hood on the contemporary scientist who proved that without relativity truth cannot be explained. He got idea of relativity so adroitly that today the scientific world looks towards it for all explanations. All science and scientific beliefs that developed before that stand annulled. Today in physics, math and statistics the concept of anekanta is being used uninhibitedly; relativity is being employed freely for further research and study.

 

Excerpts from "ANEKANTA, THE THIRD EYE" By Acharya Mahaprajna

JVBNA hosted a special session on yoga and meditation under the guidance of Yogi Omprakash Ji Maharaj on September 10 at the JVBNA CPPM. Yogi Omprakash Ji utilizes the platform of yoga and music as a form of therapy for the ailments in life such as anger, ego, etc. along with his extensive knowledge on Patanjali Sutra in India and worldwide.

Utility:
Shakarendra is the supreme god of the heaven, known as Saudharma heaven. Due to his special clairvoyance knowledge he immediately knows whenever the soul of a Tirthankar Bhagawn is conceived. Shakrendra then assumes a specific posture (as depicted in the diagram below) and recites Namutthunam Sutra. Therefore, this Sutra is also known as Shakra Stava Sutra and Pranipt-danda Sutra. This Sutra enumerates the virtues of Tirthankar and offers obeisance to all Tirthankaras and omniscients.
