inspired me to attend lectures. As I attended the lectures, I derived much guidance. At the brink of critical times, I was reminded of the words heard in the sermons.
Thus, it is that both in wealth and spirits, the Navakara has given new life to me. Navakara has therefore become the all in all of my life. I recite this verse as a matter of thankfulness to the Navakara Mantra every morning during the course of my prayers.
"Only you are my mother and father; you are my companion as also my friend. You are my knowledge and wealth; a god of gods! You are everything to me!”
Correct Process of the Sadhana of Navakara
It was a matter only of accident that Shri Gulabchandbhai came across the Sadhana of Navakara and its correct process. The Navakara therefore became an unperceived Chintamani for him. He had desired only Sadgati, prayed for all. But, eventhough not desired, the Navakara created all facilities for him.
The means and the process by which his Sadhana yielded quick results were as follows : (1) Unstinted faith that the Navakara leads to one as
good. (2) Purified mental background due to forgivance prayed
by the full heart and a spirit of friendship etc. (3) Day and night recitation of Shri Arihanta. (4) A constant watchfulness of the mind. (5) A spirit of absolute submission towards the Navakara
and diffusion of one as own agency of the Karmas.
Let us now examine the importance of these in the realm of Sadhana.
