    Samar- means according to SHRIMAD RAJ CHANDRA

    12 months ago 320

    It looks like your word “Samar-” is incomplete. In Shrimad Rajchandra’s Gujarati writings, several key Jain terms begin with “Sama-/Samar-/Sam-”. Here are the most likely ones and their meanings in simple, authentic Jain terms:

    • Samata (equanimity): Inner steadiness free from attachment and aversion. Shrimad repeatedly emphasizes living in samata as the heart of the Vitarag path.
    • Samarpan (self-surrender): Sincere surrender of egoic doership at the feet of the true Guru, leading the seeker inward to the pure Self. Shrimad highlights deep guru-bhakti that culminates in Self-abidance.
    • Samyak Darshan (right faith): Direct, unwavering conviction in the true Self and the Tattvas. It is foundational in his teaching and in Jain Dharma.
    • Samvara (stoppage of karma): Restraining the inflow of karmas through vigilance, vows, and right conduct. Shrimad accepts this classic Jain doctrine and points to inner awareness and restraint as its means.
    • Samayik (equanimity-practice): A set period of steady awareness and non-violence in thought, word, and deed—cultivating samata that Shrimad esteems.
    • Samara (battle/war) used metaphorically: The “inner battle” against the passions (anger, pride, deceit, greed). Victory here is through samata, vivek, forgiveness, and Self-awareness—not outer struggle.

    Note on traditions: These meanings are shared across Shwetambar and Digambar; wording and practice details may vary, but the essence remains the same.

    If you can share the full word you intended (for example, “Samata,” “Samarpan,” “Samvara,” etc.), the precise meaning in Shrimad Rajchandra’s usage can be given even more exactly. For a simple overview of core Jain prayers and Atmasiddhi (which Shrimad composed), see this quick reference:
