On Monday (13.06.2016), B.M.D Jain school was blessed with the holy presence of Shri Vinodhmuni Maharaj ji, the holy Jain Monk. He made everyone realize that if you get the answer for ‘WHY TO LIVE ?’ you will know ‘HOW TO LIVE’. He also spoke about the three beliefs every individual must put his faith on. First is Belief on the Spiritual Power within us. Secondly, Belief or Devotion to God. Finally, Belief on Guru’s words.
The holy saint cited examples from the lives of Lord Gautama Buddha, Lord Mahaveera, German scientist Paul Goldin and also our Ex-President Late APJ.Abdul Kalam. He enlightened us on the Four Types of Snanam(Baths) mentioned in the Bhagvat Gita, that is , Ahimsa Snanam, Satyam Snanam, Brahmachariya Snanam and Thaneer snanam. It is said, those who don’t undertake the former three baths must take the Thaneer or Water Bath.
The eye-opening and mind-relaxing session came to an end with the Jain Maharaj, asking for Seven Valuable Gifts from his audience. They are –
- Meat-free Monday
- Tobacco-free Tuesday
- Water-save Wednesday
- Truthful Thursday
- Fast food-free Friday
