Beyond blood ties & family: How two siblings in Surat left material world to become Jain monk & nun

Nearly a decade ago, Priyanshi Shah, 21, became a Jain nun when she was 12 years old. Few years later, her younger brother Bhavya also renounced the world to become a monk. ThePrint travelled to Surat to meet the siblings to understand what drew them to this path and also spoke to their parents and elder brother.

    Almost all the people who become Jain monks or nuns at a very young age say that they were inspired by their parents. This means that the kids were practically schooled every day to believe that this is the correct and ultimate path at a very impressionable age. Wouldn't it have been better for the parents to wait until the kids reach adulthood before they took this decision. In our country religion is such a sensitive topic that no government dares to interfere in this.

    A girl May attain puberty at any age after 12 or even earlier but it is a proven fact that real maturity of a girl happens only after the age of 21 when apart from the body the brain reaches the stage of complete growth.. For males it is at 25 .. Any decision taken by the girls or boys before the completion of the maturity is purely either impulsive or because of direct or indirect coercion by those who have influence over the kids over a period of time.. Parents try to influence by inserting thier own wishes and dreams or things which they wished for but couldn't make them happen for them and during the time that kids spend their free time during school holidays,or after school time plays a very big part in shaping up an opinion.. About the Jain munis.. Although Jainism was recently declared as a seperate religion which was practically wrong as it is just a way of life a kind of discipline instilled in life by own will or by force and since the community got the seperate religion and alongwith that the prized minority status different sects of the extremely micro minority community have become vocal and ambitious and are openly calling to shun all activities and rituals which are linked to santhana Hindu sanskriti,, Marriage rituals until recently where exactly the same as Hindus but now a very big significant percentage of marriages are being customised under a newly created Jain vidhi,,Post death rituals from mundan ceremony to 12 days of mourning have been done away with partly and in many cases completely to the extent that in many recent cases mourning ends the second day after death and no post death rituals like thier ancestors used to do as similar to Hindu rituals.. And to showcase power and following existing Jain sadhus are maybe trying hard to influence as much as possible to get Deeksha bcoz the power of a Jain saadhu is measured by the number of disciples he has and in this already shrinking community of just around 70lakhs that too has atleast 3-5 different sects completely against each other claiming supremacy those who worship the idol and those who don't is a Big divide in this very very small community and the digambar Jain sect is another completely different sect which considers itself as the best... Also not helping this community hurtling towards extinction in the very near future is family planning which has been adopted big time to save resources and also creating their own kind of Jain only ghettos in apartment complexes and minimising interactions with other communities..The rigidity adopted by this community just in the last 10 years has become open for all to.see and the number of temples closed bcoz of zero population in some villages and towns and on the other side building exclusive temples for just 10-15 families in an apartment when already there are temples in the vicinity all is not just drain on the resources that this community is fiercely trying to protect but it is also cutting out its next generation from outside their community which again has just micro families and the surge of getting Diksha extracting the already few young and productive...

    I have huge respect for Jainism and their tradition.They have made a lot of contribution to the ways of RajaYoga/hathaYoga. In Hinduism too Monkhood is highely respected to achieve Moksha but Lord Krishna has considered life of Grihastha who is engaged in the world but not attached to it as equally great practice.Is called Karmayoga In Hinduism, We think of the spritital journey as a marathon,not a sprint. Slowly Slowly with the help of 4 yogas , we develop vairagya from the material world.Once the vairagya is developed and family is self sustained , a hindu leaves home for sanayasa.

    That actually is clash of Fundamental rights... Because "Right to Education" is a right to the individual and a duty to the State.. RTE was born out of a Directive Principle (DPSP ~ Art 45) and a duty entrusted to the parent/guardian as well. However Art 21, right to personal liberty and Art 25 Right to freedom of conscience and profession exists.. the only factor that is in contravention is the Age of the individual.. when is an individual capable of deciding his/life in matters of religious practise such as renunciation or ascetic lifestyle is a matter of dispute.

    The problem i think is with the translation, the Monk and Nun has given reply in vernacular but it seems the translator may have used incorrect word to explain. Jainism does not believe in GOD per se as an Entity but All souls are capable of achieving this state where they shed all karma and become totally detached from matter. This purest state of soul is Moksha and this Soul is regards as Omniscient and Omnipotent as Soul does not die not nor need anything to exist...hence Invincible.

    Some of the strict jain family don't feed milk to newborns and infants after sunsets. Because they believe after sunset eating food is a big sin...the whole night child crying but their family starving little child. this is how they try to teach the habits of their dharma to their child.. I heard it and saw it around in many families.

    If you want to do good be good while being in the society and not outside it. There is a time and place to renounce all and that is not when you have the strength to do some good. renouncing life / responsibilities in such young age is running away from it all. Again this is my opinion. to each his own.

    Maybe, or is it, some kind of a belief like giving up one child to such renounced lifestyle brings a family some kind of good luck, value in the community or punya!!? One of the mother sounded very strong and also said they are not supposed to complain or return to normal life and she said that they will not be accepted by family and society!!!!!! It's pressure on the person but any kind of diksha is supposed to be unconditional submission and that kind of dedication can't be delivered by force or tuning. It can be achieved by people who have the knowledge of lively world and godliness and then get to a conclusion of choosing a path of renunciation. Do young kids have such ability!?

    Yes, Jainism has a system of Updhaan within which one can live close to Sadhu/Sadhviji bhagwant and emulate their lifestyle for around 1.5 month, study scriptures, clarify misunderstandings about the Jain dharma..furthered if ine wishes to permanently become a Sadhu/Sadhvi and demonstrates their intrest and calibre in the area, they can live with the monks for extended periods of time where they essentially get trained to accept and love the pinnacle of a Jain lifestyle (as the older brother mentioned, it is no brainwashing done here which is why only those with adequate maturity and strength can commit to the monk life for good).

    My respect to Jain munis and Sadhavis. I wish to ask some questions. 1. There is nothing called MOKSHA - Freedom from the cycle of life and death. We all are eternal souls playing our parts destined in the form of sanskar within our souls. No soul on earth can escape from the cycle of life and death ( the cycle of 5000 years is called one Kalpa.) Even Mahaveer/ Adideva/ Adinatha/ Jagannatha /Manu/ Bholenatha /Shankara/ Teerthankara/ Puranapurusha /Adam/ Adham Sulleman is bound in the cycle of life and death.When this is the eternal truth then why such strict penance???? 2. A swimmer can be called the best only when he or she swims in mightiest tides of Pacific Ocean . So also to win over the vices/ vikar / karmendriyas one should be in the house, in the family and in the society and do the sadhana of detachment. Leaving the world and becoming sanyasi and punishing one self with strict rules, practices will not fetch anything. When this is the eternal truth, why do Jain munis and Sadhavis punish themselves to the highest degree ?? ( In this path one cannot attain complete victory over KAMA Krodha Lobha Moha and Ahankara and one cannot win over the mind and karmendriyas.one cannot Realize the ultimate truth of shristi .one cannot Realize our two eternal father's 1. Father of all souls on earth - Lord Shiva 2 .Father of entire humanity- Adinatha). I am not challenging any body. I need an answer for my knowledge and enlightenment.

    I am still confused with you first question. However, the theory of strict penance can only be understood if you have understand theory of karma as described in Jainism. Coming to your 2nd question "To practice detachment by living in daily life is like telling oneself that if I am surrounded by enemy 360 degree and they are firing at me, not a single bullet will pierce me. You cannot practice detachment with your household life. When one become jain sadhu/sadhvi they are free from all the worldly relations. Hence they won't be bounded by family responsibilites. When it comes to us, we will prioritize family incident over our sadhna and one has to as it is our duty since we have grown our own family. You cannot disown it. That is the reason they leave house." Now coming to the portion where you say "I need an answer for my knowledge/enlightment but in both the questions you have concluded and not questioned". I will continue this discussion if it remains the discussion. You can't conclude when you are looking for answers like you mentioned "There is nothing called Moksha", "Leaving the world ....practices will not fetch anything" etc

Their family background, their responsibilities, any other provisions, the willingness of the family members, etc. are to be considered. The guru himself/herself will not allow the chela to take diksha unless the factors and criteria are met. The thing is clear,, we know what we are doing. And there is no need for us to justify to the likes of you because the practice is correct from the beginning, every step is taken carefully so don't worry.

    While there isn't a concept of God as it exists in the Abrahamic traditions, since Jainism gives immense emphasis of cultivating goodness, non-violence, and love for all (barring not even the most religious non-Jain individual), it is the emergence and sustenance of these good values and elimination of bad deeds that eventually would lead those interested to become God (an omniscent, that has finished their endless cycle of bitrth and death). Further, Tirthankaras in Jainism are Jain's God because although they achieve what is mentioned above alike a lot of other capable souls (Siddhas), they even spread the message of non- violence, peace, and working hard to end the painful cycle of birth and death after acquiring omniscience through what is known as a Samovasaran (in simplified terms, a place where all living beings - humans or animals are blessed with the words of Bhagwan)..it's this and their burning desire to do good for all that makes the God (as one would call it in Abrahamic terminology or Bhagwan for Jains)
