Trimantra
this Trimantra?
Dadashri : Is there not a difference between eating a
whole fruit and eating only a piece of it? This Trimantra is

No Happiness despite Reciting the Mantra
Lord Rushabhdev (the first Tirthankara of the last cycle
of twenty-four Tirthankars) had said, ‘It is acceptable to divide
your temples, but do not divide the mantra. The mantra will lose
its essence if it is divided.’ Our people have not only divided the
mantra, they have also divided the agiyaras (the eleventh day of
the lunar cycle observed for fasting). We now have one agiyaras
for the Vaishnav and one for the Shaivites. This is why the
importance of agiyaras and the mantra has diminished. Jains,
Vaishanavas and The Shaivites, none can find happiness and it
is because these three mantras are not being recited together.
That’s why the Trimantra is now being united as the Lord had
said.
Lord Rushabhdev is considered the main originator of
dharma or religion. He is the one who gave religion to the
world. The path of Vedanta was established through him and so
was the path of Jainism.
You know how people say, ‘Aadam’ or ‘Adam’? That
Adam is really referring to this Aadim (the very first) Tirthankar
but instead of saying Aadim, they are saying Aadam or Adam.
So whatever is out there, it is His path.
