Relevance of Jain Karma Theory in Context of Self Improvement
All of us are always ready to blame someone else for each of our wrongdoing or to look upto some supernatural power for escape. No one tells us how important is it to self-introspect. In this slideshow I've tried to throw light on the same through Jain Karma Theory.
Karma
The document discusses the concept of karma and reincarnation across various religious texts and traditions. It states that past actions determine one's situation in the current life, and current actions will determine the next life. The material world is described as a place for souls to work through karma by experiencing different bodies and conditions under the modes of nature. Living entities are bound by their actions, which are performed according to conditioning by the modes of nature.
Three modes
The document discusses the three modes of material nature - goodness, passion, and ignorance. It provides descriptions of how each mode conditions living entities and influences their behaviors, activities, understandings, and experiences. Some key points mentioned include the three modes leading to different planetary systems, influencing food preferences, work orientations, types of happiness, and levels of knowledge or misunderstanding.
12 of Karma's Laws that Can Change Your Life
The document outlines 12 laws of karma that can change one's life, including the laws of cause and effect, humility, growth, responsibility, connection, focus, hospitality and giving, change, the present moment, patience and reward, and significance and inspiration. Some of the key ideas discussed are that our thoughts and actions have consequences, we must accept present circumstances to change them, focusing fully on spiritual growth, and that true change requires conscious commitment and patience.
Ss.whatisemotionali
Emotional intelligence refers to the ability to reason with and manage emotions in four areas: perceiving, using, understanding, and managing emotions. Daniel Goleman defined it as monitoring one's own and other's emotions, discriminating among them, and using this information to guide thinking and actions. People with higher emotional intelligence have a greater ability to manage feelings and deal with others effectively, leading to a happier life. Improving emotional intelligence involves skills like self-awareness, managing emotions, empathy, communication, and conflict resolution. It takes time and patience to develop these skills and improve emotional intelligence.

Meditation: Calmness of the Soul | Shri Shrutpragya Swami
In today’s world, we are so involved and busy that we forget to live in the present. These daily tasks lead to physical and mental strain, stress develops, and there is no internal harmony. Meditation is a practice to help achieve that harmony between your body and mind.
Time+mgmt
This document summarizes key points from a time management presentation, including:
- Different generations of time management approaches from simple reminders to advanced planning and prioritization.
- The importance of distinguishing between urgent/important vs. trivial tasks using the Eisenhower matrix.
- The challenge of finding time for spiritual development ("SQ" or spiritual intelligence) amid busy schedules.
- Filling our time based on priorities from biggest commitments ("big rocks") to smaller tasks.
- Views from Vedas and Bhagavad Gita that the purpose of human life is self-realization and devotional service to God.
Jainism 101 - an overview of Jain philosophy
Jainism 101 gives a brief overview of the basics of Jain philosophy. Stemming from ancient shramanic tradition of India, this simple but profound path is as relevant today as it was thousands of years ago. Jain way of life is based on three principles Ahimsa (non-injury), Anekantvad (Non-absolutism) and Aparigraha (non-attachment).
The Six Leyshas
This document summarizes a retreat held by the Doshi Brothers for the MA/NE YJA in the Poconos in February 2013. The objectives of the retreat were to discuss concepts of man (mind), vachan (speech), and kaya (actions) as well as the six leshyas or mental dispositions. Activities included acting out scenarios to demonstrate the leshyas and a discussion on how to promote positive mind, speech, and actions. The document also covers the 18 papasthanaks or sins and concludes by thanking the organizers and attendees of the retreat.
Destiny And Karma
The document discusses the spiritual concept of karma and destiny. It explains that karma governs all human life and that every positive or negative deed creates spiritual merits or demerits. One's current life circumstances and hardships are influenced by their accumulated karma from past lives, known as their destiny. Major events and relationships are pre-destined, but people have some free will. Intense spiritual practice can help overcome mild to medium destiny, while severe destiny may require grace from a spiritual master. The law of karma and reincarnation provide a philosophical framework for understanding injustice and suffering.
Meditation power point
The document discusses meditation, defining it as a mental discipline to get beyond thinking into deeper relaxation or awareness. It describes different types of meditation like breathing, conceptual, and mantra meditation. Reasons for meditating include stress relief, anger management, and improved focus. Various religions that incorporate meditation are discussed like Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism, and Christianity. Specific meditation techniques from these religions are outlined. The effects of meditation on reducing heart rate and blood pressure are also summarized based on an experiment conducted.
