Bhagwan Mahaweer: The Peerless Meta-Physicist

 The Great Meta-Physicist of all time : Bhagwan Mahawir         


       Lord Mahawir specified that the Universe is without beginning and without end. It simply exists, it is. It was neither created by God nor by Big Bang of an imaginary singularity. The statement made by him is mathematical and therefore is axiomatic, i.e. it does not need proof. The theories "God Created Universe" or "Universe was created by Big Bang" suffer from what is known as "Regressus ad infinitum". They fail to answer an unending series of questions. Lisa Zyga recently wrote an article "No Big Bang? Quantum Equation Predicts Universe Has No Beginning" in Phys.org on Feb 09, 2015. In that article she said, "The universe may have existed forever, according to a new model that applies quantum correction terms to Einstein's Theory of Relativity. The solution  predicts neither 'Big Bang' nor 'Big Crunch'. It avoids singularities. The quantum corrections can be viewed as "Cosmological Constant" and "Radiation" terms. These terms keep the universe at finite size and therefore give it an infinite age. After 100 years of conceiving and dropping "Cosmological Constant" concept by Einstein himself it is revisiting the scientists to help them redefine the age of universe." Einstein must be happy in the heaven.
         
    Lord Mahawir pronounced that there are six fundamental realities that form the universe, not one less, not one more. This is another axiomatic statement made by Him. Our common experience corroborates this statement. The six realities called as substances are : Jiwastikaya (the soul), Akashastikaya (the space), Dharmastikaya (the agent for motion), Adharmastikaya (the agent for station), Pudgalastikaya (matter and energy) and Kalasti (the time). It is interesting to note that Modern Sciences collectively study life (they do not believe in the soul), space (akash), ether (dharma), gravity (adharma), matter and energy (pudgal) and time (kala). However there definitions and explanations of these entities are incomplete and inadequate to wit. It must be mentioned that slowly but surely the modern scientists are approaching the concepts of Lord Mahawir. Prof G R Jain in his treatise "Cosmology : Old & New has described this very nicely.
        
     Lord Mahawir is an unmatched Meta-Physicist. Think of the absence of any modern sensitive apparatuses and well-equipped laboratories, the micro and macro level of study and realizations over 2500 years ago. And then you will be able to appreciate the significance and greatness of Lord Mahawir.

Bhagwan Mahaweer : the Leading Management Guru

                Bhagwan Mahaweer : the Leading Management Guru Leaders in the Management Science envision a systematically structured organization for efficient working and optimum results. Mahaweer was a great visionary in his own right in the field of Philosophy. His skills and expertise are clearly visible in the manner He developed the Jain Way of Living for the mankind in the manner of latest managerial techniques. The first thing He determined was  the Goal  for life: Becoming free from the cycle of birth and death. He then, like any leader, envisaged  the Vision  for the Universe: happy, friendly, peaceful co-existence. Next, He visualized, as the responsible Sociologist,  the Mission  for His life: persuasion through pluralism (Anekatwad). And thereafter he created  the Preamble : Our acquired wisdom condensed in the Metaphysics of Jainism will properly guide the whole of mankind to get freedom from the c...

Bhagwan Mahaweer : the Incredible Psychologist

  Bhagwan Mahaweer : the Incredible Psychologist Tirthankar Mahaweer had in-depth knowledge and comprehension of human mind (मानस), psyche (चित्त), spirit (अन्तःकरण) and self (आत्म, स्वयं). Margaret Stevenson admires the all-embracing command of the Jain Thinkers in her book 'The Heart of Jainism' (1915) thus, "Their saints have deep understanding of human psychology." Sigmond Freud (1856-1939), the founder of modern Psychology stated, "Expressing one's worry to someone (a psychiatrist) helps one getting relief from its pain." Thorn of that pain keeps pricking until its burden is not shared. This is of course dependence of an individual on somebody else. Christ exhorted (during first decade AD) people saying, "Confess your sin before God. He will redeem and deliver you on the day of apocalypse." This too means relief from the suffering and again makes the being dependent. Lord Mahaweer explained (550 BC) to his audience, "तस्स मिच्छा ...

Bhagwan Mahaweer : the Wondrous Embryologist

  Bhagwan Mahaweer : the Wondrous Embryologist Like every Tirthankara , Bhagwan Mahaweer had penetrating vision to see the minutest in the universe. Agam (the scripture) Sutrakritang Sutra  describes: "How is a baby conceived?" It says that during the intercourse the " shonit " of a female (which contains the egg to be fertilized) partner discharged into the uterus and the " wirya " of a male (containing a huge lot of sperms, the fertilizer) partner ejaculated into the uterus. One of the sperms breaks the egg wall and the two gametes form a single unit when the Soul enters it to give it life and ensure its growth. Science also explains that sexual act between a female partner and a male partner culminates into the secretion of female gamete and male gamete which later fuse to form a zygote, the primary cell which then divides, and those new cells further divide for the growth of the baby. According to Jain Agam the fact that a woman has conceive...
