    when Bhagwan mohair meditate what was he meditating upon or any god

    11 hrs ago 2

    Answer

    If you mean Bhagwan Mahavir, then in Jain Dharma he was not meditating upon any god.

    Bhagwan Mahavir’s meditation was focused on the pure soul — the true nature of the self — free from attachment, aversion, passions, and karma.

    Explanation

    In Jainism, meditation is not mainly worship of a creator god. Jain Dharma teaches that liberation comes through:

    • Right Faith
    • Right Knowledge
    • Right Conduct
    • Purification of the soul

    Bhagwan Mahavir practiced deep meditation to destroy karmas and realize the soul’s natural qualities:

    • Infinite knowledge
    • Infinite perception
    • Infinite bliss
    • Infinite energy

    He meditated with complete equanimity, remaining undisturbed by pain, hardship, insult, fear, or temptation.

    Spiritual Understanding

    Jain meditation is inward-looking. The goal is to experience:

    • “I am a soul, not the body.”
    • “Anger, pride, deceit, and greed are not my true nature.”
    • “Attachment and hatred bind karma.”
    • “Pure awareness leads to liberation.”

    So Bhagwan Mahavir did not meditate to please a god. He meditated to remain in the pure awareness of the soul and ultimately attained Keval Jnan, perfect knowledge.

    Takeaway

    Bhagwan Mahavir’s meditation was not on any external god, but on the pure, liberated nature of the soul. In Jain Dharma, the highest spiritual focus is self-realization and freedom from karma.
