In the Jain tradition, a Tirthankar is a person who has attained enlightenment through many lifetimes of spiritual practice. The trees under which they attained Kaivalya are called Deeksha-Vriksha. It symbolises the profound connection between their spiritual journey and the natural world. The Tirthankars are the earliest advocates of non-violence and environmental coexistence. Their qualities of tolerance, willpower, aspiration for spiritual evolution, courage, confidence, and compassion are vital for the contemporary world.
Building on these timeless values, this book explores the synergy between the profound tools of the Heartfulness Way – such as yogic Transmission, Rejuvenative Cleaning, and Heartful Connection at bedtime – and the profound spiritual essence of Jainism, which emphasises a deep yearning for inner growth, unwavering discipline, clarity of focus, purity of intent, and boundless compassion. Together, these approaches hold the potential to usher in a new era of spiritual evolution for humanity.
