RISHABADEVA - JAINA MATHA

[Guest guest]

Rishaba

Deva

(Srimad

Bhãgavatam Adhyaaya 5)

Rushaba

Deva, the paramathma’s one of the incarnation of Paramathma, born to Nabhiraja and Merudevi, when King

Nabhiraja worshipped and prayed for a son equal to Paramathma.

In

swayambhuva manvantara, Yajna naamaka bhagavantha was the Indra. He himself is now in the avathara of

Rushaba. Nabhiraaja, doing tapassu,

asked Bhagavantha to give him a son, who is equal to Bhagavantha. There is no one equal to Bhagavantha, so

bhagavantha came himself.

After

Rushabhadeva was born, Naabhiraaja could not recognize him as the incarnation

of Vishnu. He was calling him as son,

vatsa, etc., and treated him as son only.

Subsequently, seeing the popularity of Rushabadeva among his

people, Nabhiraja left for Vishala Badari

alongwith his wife, leaving the kingdom to Rushabadeva.

Rushabadeva

also observed Gurukulavasa and learnt all Vedas and shastras.

In this

incarnation, paramathma preached Dharma for Jnanis.

Once

Indradeva did not send rain to Rushabadeva’s land called Ajanabha. Then, he brought rains to his land through

his yogic power. He married Jayanthi, daughter of Indradeva(incarnation of

Lakshmi) (Jayanthi is the sister of Jayantha).

He got hundred sons. Of these,

the eldest and noblest was Bharatha.

Amongst

his sons Kavi, Hari, Antariksha, Pippalayana, Avirhotra, Drumila, Chamasa and

Karabhajana, who were termed as Navayogis and were called as Jaayanteyaru. These Navayogis became teachers of the path

of Bhakthi. Their Upadeshas can be seen

in Srimadbhagavatha Ekadasha Skanda. Remaining 91 children were also called as

Jayanteyaru, who performed nirantara Yajna,

observing Gruhastaashrama, as Brahmanaas.

Rushabadeva’s

upadesha to his sons - “This human body

is not meant for enjoyment. Worshipping

Jnanis is the gateway for moksha. We should never hate any animals. We have our Amongst the objects living beings

like plants are superior to non-living things; amongst living beings, creatures

with consciousness are superior to plants; man is superior amongst creatures

with consciousness; superior to man are 'bhootas' and 'pishachas'; higher than

these are the Gandharvas, Siddhas and Kinnaras; Asurãs are superior to

them; Devãs are superior to Asurãs;

Indra occupies the highest place amongst the Devas; the sons of Brahma like

Daksha are superior to Indra; Rudra is the greatest amongst the sons of Brahma

and Brahma is greater than Rudra. Brahma worships Vishnu (myself). And I am

Bhaktaparaadheena and devotee of Brahmans (Brahmanosya mukhamaaseeth):.

 

Rishaba Deva

before closing his avathara, gave his kingdom

to his son Bharatha and retired to a hermitage, where he led a life of such

severe austerity and abstinence, that he became a mere "collection of skin

and fibres, and went the way of all flesh." He was

wandering from place to place as a sanyaasi, with the avadootha charya, without

taking food, shelter timely. This

avathara is only for asura jana mohanaartha.

He was behaving as if he is a blind, deaf, dumb.

Rushabadeva was

moving just like a crow, doing malamootra visarjana like a cow, drinking water

and eating any where. But one must note

that paramathma has aprakrutha deha. How

he can have prakrutha mala mootra dosha.

This is just asura jana mohanaartha.

In this way, Rushabadeva

was telling “ I am Vasudevaâ€. This was

seen by one Mr ARHA, who misunderstood the tatva of Rushabadeva and he mixed “aham

brahmasmi†tatva of Advaita and made the prachara of “arha mathaâ€. That is how Jaina matha came into existence. Some of the

people followed Rishaba Deva and accepted him as their first Thirthankara and

he was regarded as the first guru for Jains.
