Does God really...

have the Shasandev and Shasandev...

with Him?

If Tirthankaras are completely detached...

then who protects the Dharma...?

Are the Shasandev...

and Shasandev...

merely symbols...?

Or...

are they really...

protectors of the Dharma...?

Is it appropriate according to Jain philosophy to ask them...

for worldly desires...

or...

is their real role...

something else...?

Jai Jinendra.

In this special presentation of "Jain Darshan" (Special Standalone Episode)

we will attempt to understand a subject...

which is seen in almost every Jain temple...

but...

whose true scriptural meaning is known to very few people.

Today we will attempt to understand...

why does God have the Shasandev and Shasandev...

with Him?

Who are they...?

How did they originate...?

In Jain cosmology,

What is their place...?

Are they...

dispassionate like the Tirthankaras...?

Or...

Are they still deities present in the world...?

Do they...

protect the Dharma...?

How do they help devotees...?

And...

How does Jain philosophy explain their worship and role...

with scriptural evidence...?

In this special presentation,

we will not discuss any miracles,

folklore,

superstition,

fiction,

or fabricated notions.

Rather...

We will attempt to understand, in simple language, the scriptures based on the principles of Jain philosophy:

Shasandev,

Shasandev,

Yaksha,

Yakshini,

Vyantardev,

Dharma-protection,

Venu-passion,

and

Jain cosmology.


We will try to understand them in a simple language.

On a scriptural basis, we will try to understand them. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
