SANTHARA IS AN AGE OLD TRADITION OF GIVING ALL THE WORLDLY AFFAIRS OF LIFE TO ALL THE FAMILY MEMBERS WHO ARE YOUNG AND THOSE ELDER MEN AND WOMEN WHEN THEY FEEL THAT ALL THEIR WISHES AND PROBLEMS OF LIFE ARE SOLVED BY THAT ALMIGHTY GOD LORD MAHAVEER THE 24 TIRTHANKAR AND POWERFUL SAINT OF JAIN COMMUNITY THEY COMMIT SANTHARA AN AGE OLD PRACTISE FOLLOWED BY EVEN HIGHLY EDUCATED JAIN COMMUNITY PEOPLE WHICH IS AS UNDER;-

1 WHEN OLDER GENERATION PEOPLE OF JAIN COMMUNITY WHO CROSS 75 OR 80 YEARS THEY FEEL THAT THIR JAIN GOD MAHAVEER HAD BLESSED THEM WITH GOOD FRUITFUL LIFE AND THEY OBSERVE THAT THEIR GRAND CHILDREN ARE ALSO PROSPEROUS AND HAPPY IN DOING BUSINESS WHICH IS FLOURISHING WITH PROFITS RIGHT FROM THE START OF ESTABLISHING THEIR BUSINESS THE OLDER GENERATION PASS OFF THE REIGNS OF POWER TO THEIR YOUNG GENERATIONS AND FOLLOW SANTHARA

2. NOW WHAT IS SANTHARA WHICH I WILL EXPLAIN IN DETAILS IN MY BLOG, WHEN GOD HAD FULFILLED THE DESIRES OF OLDER JAIN COMMUNITY PEOPLE IT IS SAID THEY DESIRE TO PERFORM SANTHARA WHICH MEANS JUST LYING OR SITTING ON THE CHAIR OR COT AND REDUCING THE INTAKE OF FOOD AND WATER FOR MORE THAN 70 TO 80 DAYS THE FOOD AND WATER INTAKE IS REDUCED GRADUALLY FOR A LONG PERIOD OF 70 TO 80 DAYS AND THUS OLD MEN AND WOMEN COMMIT SANTHARA AS IT IS DESCRIBED IN THEIR HOLY BOOKS THAT THOSE WHO PERFORM SANTHARA ON ACHIEVING 75 OR 80 YEARS THEY GET SALVATION AND THEY REACH HEAVENLY PARADISE AFTER COMMITTING SANTHARA

3. THOSE WHO COMMIT SANTHARA ARE TREATED LIKE HOLY SAINTS AND THEIR FEETS ARE TOUCHED BY HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE AS THEY HAVE ACHIEVED SALVATION AND THEY BECOME PURE SOUL JUST LIKE THEIR GOD MAHAVEERA AND OBTAIN NIRVANA TO ADD FURTHER THIS SYSTEM OF SANTHARA IS JUST LIKE A DIRECT TICKET TO HEAVEN AND THE SOUL OF THE DEAD KEEPS AWAY FROM THE BURDEN OF CROSSING 84 LAKHS JOONIS OR DIFFERENT FORMS OF SPECIES OF BIRDS ANIMALS OR AMPHIBIANS OR OTHER DANGEROUS WILD ANIMALS

4 IF EVERY PERSON CAN GET DIRECT TICKET TO HEAVEN BY COMMITTING SANTHARA THEN ALL OTHER RELIGIONS LIKE HINDUS SIKHS AND OTHER RELIGIONS MAY ALSO PERMIT OLD MEN AND WOMEN TO COMMIT SANTHARA AS IT IS A DIRECT TICKET TO HEAVEN AND THOSE ADOPTING SANTHARA ARE BLESSED BY GODS IN THE HEAVENS

5. IF THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT FEELS THAT THROUGH SANTHARA OLD MEN AND WOMEN CAN GET SALVATION AND DIRECT TICKET TO HEAVEN BY GETTING MOKSHA I PERSONALLY FEEL THAT OTHER THAN JAINS MANY OTHER COMMUNITIES CAN ALSO FOLLOW THIS AGE OLD TRADITION TO OBTAIN MOKSHA OR SALVATION IN HEAVENS AND THIS WILL PLEASE GODS OF OTHER COMMUNITIES ALSO I FEEL THAT THE PRESENT GOVERNMENT MAY DISCUSS ABOUT THIS AGE OLD CUSTOM IN DETAILS AND MOVE THE SUPREME COURT IMMEDIATLY SO THAT OTHER COMMUNITIES OLDER WOMEN AND MEN CAN ALSO ATAIN MOKSHA OR SALVATION BY DYING DUE TO SANTHARA TRADITION FOLLLOWED BY THE JAINS ALL OVER THE WORLD.
