Guest guest Posted March 28, 2010 Report Share Posted March 28, 2010 Dear all, This festival celebrates the JAINA IDEAL of ethical living, AHIMSA and a profound COMPASSION towards all beings - a natural empathy for one another. Sri Swamiji likes this philosophy very much. A saying from Mahaveera: " A living body is not merely an integration of limbs and flesh but is the abode of the soul, which potentially has ANANT DARSHANA or perfect perception, ANANT JNAANA or perfect knowledge, ANANT VEERYA or perfect power and ANANT SHUKLA or perfect bliss " ! There is the nice ancient Jain scriptural aphorism: " Parasparopagraho Jivanam " , all life is bound together by mutual support and interdependence! - The web of ISHWARA/DATTA Jaya Guru Datta Parvati Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
