RAJIV NAYAN AGRAWAL

ARA------------------------Muni Shri Vishalyasagar Ji Maharaj, seated in Shri Digambar Jain Chandraprabhu Temple, while addressing the religious assembly on Uttam Brahmacharya, said that Brahmacharya does not mean only sensory control but also maintaining purity in thoughts, words and deeds, by which one attains self-purification by walking on the path of the soul. The journey outside is a journey of enjoyment, the journey inside is a journey of yoga. When the energy goes downwards then it becomes the reason for giving birth to a child. When the energy ascends upwards then it becomes the reason for giving birth to God. Energy is one but its uses are many. The practice of celibacy is the reason for the opposition of karma, all the souls who are purified from the sinful have accepted celibacy. If a householder accepts it as an anuvrat, then he accepts celibacy for 5 days, 10 days, 15 days in a month or on Ashtami Chaturdashi with Swadar Santosh Vrat and protects his life, religion, fame and character. That is why in Indian culture, celibacy is placed first among the four ashrams. If you have the power, then maintain it throughout your life, otherwise even if you enter the householder's life, take care of celibacy while entering the world, otherwise the youth of 'youth' will not come and the life will be lost in the lap of death before time by destroying the immature power, happiness, vigor, intelligence, efficiency. Brahmacharya means enjoying the conscious soul. Because man has immense power, if he wants, he can create the world, if he wants, he can even destroy God. His energy is like a fire; if he wants, he can illuminate himself by lighting the lamp of God; if he wants, he can even destroy someone's house by setting it on fire. When the energy goes outwards then it wants to touch the body; when the energy goes inwards then it sees the soul. Media in-charge Nilesh Kumar Jain told that during the Aaharcharya of Munishri, a large number of Jain devotees paid homage to Munishri and completed the Aaharcharya. In the evening program, programs of scripture discourse, Mangal Aarti, quiz, prize distribution and Bhakti Aaradhana were conducted.
