RAJIV NAYAN AGRAWAL

ARA--------------------------At Paramanpur Chaturmasya Vrat Sthal, India's great sage Saint Shri Lakshmiprapanna Jiyar Swami Ji Maharaj said that the life of a person who does not have effort in his life is useless. Because a person is identified by his effort. After being born on earth, the life of a person who has not made effort for society and culture is said to be like a dead person. The person who has spent his life in effort is discussed even when he is on earth and even when he departs from the earth, his effort is remembered. That is why it is very important to make effort in life. When Priyavrat, the eldest son of Manu Maharaj, went to the forest and started doing penance, then Lord Shriman Narayan appeared pleased with the meditation. He guided Priyavrat to enter the Grihastha Ashram. God said Priyavrat, you go to your home, get married there and accept the dignity of the household in your life. Priyavrat says no God, we want to take refuge in you.

While explaining to Priyavrat, God says, Priyavrat, a person should be manly. That is why you go and enter the Grihastha Ashram. Get married and make arrangements for the government. After listening to the teachings of God, Priyavrat returns to his home from the forest. After which Priyavrat marries Vishwakarma's daughter Barismati. After Priyavrat's marriage, he has 10 sons. Whose names are Agnidhra, Idhmajihva, Yagyabahu, Mahavir, Hiranyareta, Ghritprishtha, Sawan, Medhatithi, Vitihotra and Kavi. Out of these, three sons Kavi Mahavir and Sawan became Naishthik Brahmachari.

The state affairs were managed by Priyavrat's seven sons. Later, Priyavrat married again. From whom he had three sons. Whose names are said to be Uttam Tamas and Revat. Priyavrat and Barismati also had a daughter. Who was married to the Guru of demons, Shukracharya. From whom he also had a daughter named Devyani.

After coming to the household ashram, one day Priyavrat thought in his mind that he will not let the night come. There he started chasing the Sun God. Sitting on his chariot, he followed the Sun God and took seven rounds of the earth. Due to the rotation of the wheels of his chariot, seven seas appeared. Whose names are said to be Salt Sea, Sugarcane Sea, Sura Sea, Ghee Sea, Ksheer Sea, Dahi Sea and Madhu Sea. At the same time, an island was also formed from the wheels of Priyavrat's chariot. Whose names are Jambu Dweep, Plaksha Dweep, Shalmali Dweep, Kush, Krounch Dweep, Shak Dweep, Pushkar Dweep etc.

When Priyavrat was chasing Lord Surya with his chariot, Lord Shriman Narayan explained to Priyavrat. Later Priyavrat handed over the administration of his kingdom to his sons. After which Priyavrat got busy in his meditation. Many types of deeds were done by Priyavrat ji. After the order of Lord Shriman Narayan, Priyavrat ji entered the household ashram and discovered seven seas and seven islands. In the same way, every man should perform deeds. Because in the scriptures, man has been told about being a creator. Because Yas and deeds are the biggest assets of man.

Agnidhra, the elder son of Priyavrat ji became a king and he started arranging the kingdom according to Dharma. Later, Priyavrat's elder son Agnidhra was made the king. In Agnidhra's lineage, Rishabhdev was born. Agnidhra was married to an Apsara named Poorvachinti. Agnidhra had nine sons. Whose names are Nabhiraj etc. Which include Nabhi, Kimpurush, Hari, Ilavrat, Ramyak, Hiranyak, Kuru Bhadrashwa, Ketumal etc. King Nabhi was married to Marudevi or Maharani Marudevi. From whom a son was born in the form of Rishabhdev.

Rishabhdev was born as an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Whose lineage is as follows. From the navel of Lord Shriman Narayan came lotus, from lotus came Brahmaji, from Brahmaji came Manu Shatarupa, in their lineage came Priyavrat. Later in Priyavrat's lineage came King Nabhi. From whom came Rishabhdev as a son. Rishabhdev was a very religious person. He used to be engaged in worshiping God while managing the state affairs. 100 Ashvamedha Yagyas were organized by Rishabhdev ji. Out of which 99 Yagyas were completed successfully. During the 100th Yagya, Lord Indra stole the horse of the Yagya to disrupt the Yagya of King Rishabhdev.

Rishabhdev got very angry with King Indra. After which Lord Shriman Narayan explained to Rishabhdev. You are an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Even if your Yagyas are not completed, you will not have any problem with it. Please forgive Indra. Later, Indradev, feeling ashamed, got his daughter Jayanti married to Lord Rishabhdev. From whom a very successful son was born. Whose name was Bharat. The country of India was also named Bharat after Bharat.

Rishabhdev had a total of 100 sons. Out of which nine sons became sadhus. Before this, India was known as Ajab Nabh. Rishabhdev told 25 conducts in human life. Due to which the life of every human becomes like a deity while living on earth. After leaving from here, that person also attains salvation. Whose advice is given by It was given by Rishabhdev. The same Rishabhdev in whose name Jainism has been created. But Rishabhdev was an incarnation of Lord Vishnu according to Vedic tradition. But some people declared Lord Rishabhdev as the founder of Jainism.

At the same time Jainism Digambar etc. were also adopted. In which the form of living life naked is adopted. When Rishabhdev ji was managing the government. After that, after handing over the administration of the government to his illustrious son Bharat, he went to the forest. Where he spent his life doing penance. Rishabhdev became so engrossed in penance that at the end he did not have clothes on his body. At the same time, influenced by the penance of Rishabhdev, people adopt the Digambar form of Jainism and do not wear clothes. But it is also important to understand the penance and power of penance of Lord Rishabhdev.

Because when Rishabhdev did not have clothes on his body, at that time his condition and form had become like Brahmleen. He was the incarnation of Vishnu and while doing penance, he merged his life with Lord Vishnu at the end.

Such Rishabhdev Bhagwan was incarnated in Satyuga. Whereas Jainism was established approximately within 3000 years from today. That is why all the sects in the world are within 2000, 3000 years. Whereas Vedic Sanatan Dharma was established from the beginning of creation. Whose age is said to be 50000 crore years before today. That is why all the different sects running in the world. Those sects were created only a few years ago. At the same time, a new form of Jainism was created in the name of Rishabhdev. But we should understand that Rishabhdev Bhagwan was not from any sect tradition. Rather he was anshavataar of Lord Vishnu.
