Role of GanaTharar in jainism:

In jainism the work of ganatharar is to spread the
jainisms and policies of jainisms given by the
jaina thirthankaras.Major role is that to write
the spiritual text books of jainism such as
vedaas and saastaraas which is given by the
jaina theerthankaras.

At this time,"Sreyankumar" a person in the

-what is that? we will see it in next blogging

MYSTERIOUS WORLD OF LORD AADTHINATH(RISHABANATH)

as we say before in the previous blogging now we going to know the founder of jainism.
before that we want to know that at

which time he was born?

according to the ethics of jainism,
before a billions of years ago all the
kingdoms are under the control of
a great king "AADINATH" he is also called as "RISHABANATH"and he rule

the world by 32,000 kingdoms(sub-kingdoms) under the control of his

great kingdom(goverment)

jainism stated this as a  "pogaullagam"or

karpaga vrutsha ullagam"

his birth place is "ayothi" and his father name is "naabinaathan" and his mother name in "marudevi".he born in the

culture of "ISHVAAGU".

under his kingdom,there is a sacred tree

called "karpaga virutsham"
the tree which can able to give any thing we want.under the shadow of that sacred tree people ask what they want and that tree will gives it such as food,clothes and
shelter(because it is a sacred world before this world we live).

in this time all sacred trees are disappeared one by one.peoples are getting hungry due to lack of food and need to satisfy all thier dependeny.

finally all the peoples in the world including 32,000 kings under the control

of "AADINATH" come to him and

ask why the sacred trees are disappeared one by one?

great king "AADINATH" as a power to

know all the times of world(past,present and future) and he answered to the people as follow:

"In future this sacred world going to end and the "kaliyugam"(unsacred world comparing to the world they lived) become  to born.so for that reason all the sacred trees in the world disappeared one by one"

king AADHINATH introduce

"working procedures to the mankind

to the mankind to live in the world without sacred trees(karpaga vrutsham)

he introduces agricultures (NINE TYPES OF AGRICULTURAL PLANTS INCLUDING PADDY)and farming

to the people.he is the first person to

teach agriculture in this world.

one fineday he asked his 100 sons and two daughter born to his wifes (yassaswathi and sunantha).he briefly describe about the "karmaboomi"(unsacred world) that is what is going to happen in future.

he teach all the arts and science to his

childrens such as music,dance,sirpasaastiram(arts which deals with making of ideals),

procedures for ruling a goverment,

technolgy for farming,making of varieties of vehicles,structure of  nine types of

precious stones(such as diamonds,ruby,...)

He teached to his daugters bhrami 

and sundari about all the grammatical

writting procedures.for bhrami he teached how to write in his right hand.

thats way all the writting sentences are

in the form of left to right.he teached to his another daughter sundari about the

numerical mathematics in his left hand.that what all the values of numericals is increasing in the left side(01,10,1000,10000,...).jains still worship these two goddess as

"JINAVAANI"

he practise economics and "sirpakalai"(making of idols)idolarts  to his elder son

"BHARATHAN" and 

he practise variety of music to his

to his younger son "RISHABASENAR".for another son "ananthavijayan" he practise different types of construction work.

jainism state   this as ending up of "pogapoomi"(sacred world) into raising up of "karmapoomi".

-remaining  history of aadhinath will see in the next blogging

jainism-the ancient religion

If anyone heard about jainism usually they think about "lord mahaveer".because many of them misbelieve that
jainism is founded by"lord mahaveer".seeing jains statues some of them mis-believe that buddist statues of
"lord buddha".buddhism is seprate religion ."lord mahaveer" is the 24th theerthankara(24th god)
of the jainism.lord mahaveer was born on 2612 years ago.do you think that last theerthankara was
born in such a long year ago then what is the age of jainism? and who is the founder of the jainism?
please wait we will see it in the next blogging
