Goodmorning!
The word of God today is from The Song of Moses.
"When the Most High
apportioned the nations,
when he divided humankind,
he fixed the boundaries of the peoples
according to the number of the gods;
Today we celebrate the Independence day in India.I would like to dedicate it to the artisans of India who are known for their renowned craftsmanship. Ahmedabad known as " The Manchester of the East" is famous for its textile and fabric ethnic appliques and embroidered crafts and block prints in the form of dresses, pillows, curtains, handbags and thorans and costume jewelry and other items.Its wonderful to do reasonable," shop till you drop" therapy in the local marketsthere. And the stone carved marble sculptures from little incense stands to Buddha statues in Mahabalipuram are therapeut8c in the perspective of soothing the aesthetic senses. We wish, a happy independence day to all Indians all over the world.
Today I am guided to talk about Jainism, one of the religions that has its origin from India.ACCORDING TO JAIN BELIEF, MAHAVIRA WAS NOT THE FOUNDER OF THE FAITH, ONLY ANOTHER IN A LONG LINE OF ENLIGHTENED SAGES WHO REALIZED THE TRUE NATURE OF REALITY & THE SOUL.
Jain Symbol
The urn-shaped image represents the universe, the dot at the top symbolizes liberation from bondage, the three dots beneath represent the Three Jewels, the swastika – an ancient symbol of transformation before its appropriation by the Nazi Party of Germany in the 20th century CE – symbolizes the four states of existence: heavenly spirits, humans, demonic spirits, and subhuman spirits such as plants and insects, all on the wheel of samsara.
The swastika has also been interpreted to represent the true character of the soul: boundless energy, boundless happiness, boundless knowledge, and boundless perception and insight. The hamsa-image symbolizes the courage and commitment of non-violence and the mandala suggests samsara while the inscription in the palm of the hand is translated as “Souls provide service to one another” or “Life is joined by mutual support and interdependence” as the Jains believe that all of life is sacred and every aspect of the natural world is deserving of the utmost respect, love, and nurture.
This vision is illustrated in the Jain symbol .... This symbol is not ancient but was created in 1974 CE, on the 2,500th anniversary of Mahavira's nirvana, to represent the fullness of the Jain belief system.
The message from God and the angels is: I quote:" Have you ever seen those glass-domed paperweights, the kind you shake to create snow flurries around little plastic people and houses? As you think about making your dreams a reality, you may feel your world shaking like the insides of that paperweight. I am asking you to stretch your thoughts and faith a bit. It's a little like starting a new exercise program, where your muscles feel sore at first.
Break your cocoon barriers, so you can transform from a caterpillar to a butterfly.How? By declaring complete responsibility for being in your cocoon, and total responsibility for leaving. We become trapped when we avoid taking responsibility for the custodians in our lives. We're trapped further by blaming others for lack of fulfilment, success and happiness.
Have a blessed day! buona giornata!
