Namaskara is Chamatkara (Miracle)
The world bows down when it comes across a person who is bent upon in suppressing it. Still we hear persons telling that there is Namaskara where there is Chamatkara. But reverse is the speech of a person who is keen on understanding the Namaskara, in whose mind and heart it has penetrated. Real miracle lies in the fact that we have acquired this salutation. The world delighting in standing unyielding before the deserving venerable persons is very wide. Even though we live in the midst of this world, we have procured the Namaskara Mantra and have acquired the humbleness, unconditionally to take course to the feet of Gods, good preceptors and Sudharma. Thus, in the world of the common man, let the. proverb - "Where there is Chamatkara there is Namaskara be eulogized. Yet, in the spheres of the Jain order and the Jain Sanghas, we must cultivate in all faith the Sutra that only "Namaskara is Chamatkara" (salutation is the miracle). At the back of the five writings of the modern days, the spirit is expected to be that we should become stronger and firm in the faith that only “Namaskara is Namaskara."
- Muni Purnachandra Vijay Gani
