Neminath Bhagwan ki diksha ki kahani (siksha)

• Neminath (22nd Tirthankar) ki janam Ikshvaku vansh mein hui.
• Unhone yashaswi zindagi chhod kar parikrama (diksha) ki. Voh ek rajkumār ke roop mein paida hue the, lekin wedding procession dekh kar ve turant ghar ke sanskar se virat ho gaye aur atma-samarpan ki or badhe.
• Diksha ke baad, unhone shraaman (tapas), ahimsa, satya, aparigrah (bin-vishay), brahmacharya, and non-violence jaise Mahavrata apnaye. Yahi kul milakar Jain monk ki life ki bunyaad banegi.
• Diksha ke turant baad ve kathin tapasya mein lipt hue, jisse unhone kevaljnan (Kevala Jnana) ki prapt ki; is ke saath unhone jnan ke upar chadhte hue, jain dharma ki sadhana ki.

Digambar aur Shwetambar ke madhya kuchh mukhya antar

• Digambar parampara mein Neminath ki diksha aur ascetic life ko nude (kapdon ke bina) maana jata hai; unke sadhak aur chintan ka drishtikon is roop mein prachlit hai.
• Shwetambar parampara mein bhi Neminath ki diksha ki kahani hai, lekin wahan ke varnan me moral aur tattvik alag-alag roop se vyakti hota hai, aur murti/vastraon ki chayan ki prathayein alag nazariya rakhte hain.
• Dono dharmaon mein mool tatva yahi hai ki Neminath ne sansarik sukh-sampatti tyag kar kevalparampara ki or agrasar hue, taaki jain moksha marg ko prapt kiya ja sake.

Saral arth (arth)

• Diksha ka arth hota hai atma ki shuddhi aur sansar se virag (vairag) ki or agrasar hona.
• Mahavrata apna kar nahi kisi ki alau, satya bolna, chori na karna, brahmacharya ka palan, aur jain sadhu ki tipaniya ko dharan karna—yeh diksha ke mool charan hote hain.
• Neminath ki kahani ka mool uddeshya yahi hai ki sansarik rajo-rwaas ko tyag kar ke atma ki pratyaksha jnana ki ore bada jaye.
