Jai Bhagwan Everyone,
પરમકૃપાળુ દેવ લખે છે કે “પરિભ્રમણ કરતા જીવોમાં કોઇ જીવોનો સંસાર અનાદિસાંત છે, અને કોઇનો અનાદિઅનંત છે, એમ ભગવાન સર્વજ્ઞે કહ્યું છે.”
Meaning, Kevalgnani Bhagwan has said that of all the Souls in the re-birth cycles, some Souls’ sansar has been eternal but it will end (અનાદિસાંત), and for the others, their sansar has also been eternal but it will never end (અનાદિઅનંત).
Why can’t all Souls
end Sansar? Kevalgnani Bhagwan does not discriminate. He would like to see all
Souls end their Sansar. But that is unlikely because those who have the
Mokshmarg, believe in it and pursue it, will end their Sansar while those who
do not, will not be able to end their Sansar.
Let us pay highest tribute to Tirthankar Bhagwan on the
occasion of Paryushan for his compassion in leaving behind the Mokshmarg for us
to break free from the Sansar just like he did.
On this occasion, I very politely seek forgiveness from all of whom I may have knowingly or unknowingly shown disrespect, disregard or any other offence out of ignorance.
It is important to forgive and seek forgiveness from the others in order to make progress in the Mokshmarg because:
Paryushan is the time when Jain Centers around the world raise funds to sustain their activities. It is Mumukshus’ duty to regularly contribute at least 1% of their after-tax income to sustain Ashram’s activities. One can certainly contribute more if affordable.
UK and USA Mumukshus can contribute online by clicking on the link below:

Mumukshus in India and other countries can donate by contacting the Ashram directly or via their local contact.
Please pass on this message to your Mumukshu family members, relatives and friends who are not part of the Satsang Group.
Thank you and again seeking forgiveness from everyone.
Good Luck,
Aej Vinanti,
Sant Charan Sevak,
