Jain Sect Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

Jain sect is very much near to humanism
Non violence and non injury is essence of Jainism
Their main motto is to seek salvation
Observe strict religious conduct in relation

Lord Mahavira was 24th and last incarnation
They have no God but chain of messiah’s in continuation
They have carried on function and spread the message
Sametshikhar * is considered holiest of holy during age

Muslims pay visit to makkah* once in life time
Christians too fulfill their wishes for the same
They have one voice with one mission
God is one and only others are place to seek guilt admission

Jains* have strict diet rules with observation
During fast time they use only boiled water for consumption
No food intake is allowed after sunset
Morning breakfast is taken after sunrise or late

Mostly they are trader community
Strict observance of rule is their specialty
“Who can be called real jain*”?
The follower who feels from heart and experience pain

Compassion and kindness is core slogan to remain
Not to hurt an animal or birds but seek their freedom often
Their seers walk on barefoot and do not stay at once place
Make journey round the year with alls seasons to face

Even though they are considered as minority
They have business skill and are considered as powerful community
Palitana* is considered as second holy place
Each and every individual considers its visit as life time chance

*Sametshikhar…Famous for foot prints of all the 24 incarnations
Situated in Bihar province of India

*Palitana… Situated in Saurashtra region of Gujarat province
Holy place on mountain peak called Kshetrunjay

*Jain.. Follower of Jainism
*Makkah... Holy place for Muslims
