TATTVAS OF JAINISM
Jain metaphysics is based on seven (sometimes nine, with subcategories) truths or fundamental principles also known as tattva or navatattva, which are an attempt to explain the nature and solution to the human
predicament. The first two are the two ontological categories of the soul jīva and the non-soul ajīva, namely the axiom that they exist. The third truth is that through the interaction, called yoga, between the two
substances, soul and non-soul, karmic matter flows into the soul (āsrava), clings to it, becomes converted into karma and the fourth truth acts as a factor of bondage (bandha), restricting the manifestation of the
consciousness intrinsic to it. The fifth truth states that a stoppage (saṃvara) of new karma is possible
through asceticism through practice of right conduct, faith and knowledge. An intensification of asceticism burns up the existing karma – this sixth truth is expressed by the word nirjarā. The final truth is that when
the soul is freed from the influence of karma, it reaches the goal of Jaina teaching, which is liberation or
mokṣa. Some authors add two additional categories: the meritorious and demeritorious acts related to karma
(puṇya and pāpa). These nine categories of cardinal truth, called navatattva, form the basis of entire Jain
metaphysics. The knowledge of these reals is essential for the liberation of the soul.
Jīva
Jainism believes that the souls (jīva) exist as a reality, having a separate existence from the
body that houses it. Jīva is characterised by cetana(consciousness)
and upayoga (knowledge and perception). Though the soul experiences both birth and death,
it is neither really destroyed nor created. Decay and origin refer respectively to the
disappearing of one state of soul and appearance of another state, these being merely the
modes of the soul.
Ajīva
Ajīva are the five non-living substances that make up the universe along with the jīva. They are:
� Pudgala (Matter) –Matter is classified as solid, liquid, gaseous, energy, fine Karmic materials and extra-fine matter
or ultimate particles. Paramānu or ultimate particles are considered the basic building block of all matter. One of
the qualities of the Paramānu and Pudgala is that of permanence and indestructibility. It combines and changes
its modes but its basic qualities remain the same. According to Jainism, it cannot be created nor destroyed.
� Dharma-tattva (Medium of Motion) and Adharma-tattva (Medium of rest) –
They are also known as Dharmāstikāya and Adharmāstikāya. They are
unique to Jain thought depicting the principles of motion and rest. They are
said to pervade the entire universe. Dharma-tattva and adharma-tattva are
by themselves not motion or rest but mediate motion and rest in other
bodies. Without dharmāstikāya motion is not possible and
withoutadharmāstikāya rest is not possible in the universe.
� Ākāśa (Space) – Space is a substance that accommodates souls, matter,
the principle of motion, the principle of rest, and time. It is all-pervading,
infinite and made of infinite space-points.
� Kāla (Time) – Time is a real entity according to Jainism and all activities, changes or modifications can be
achieved only through time. In Jainism, the time is likened to a wheel with twelve spokes divided into descending
and ascending halves with six stages, each of immense duration estimated at billions of sagaropama or ocean
years. According to Jains, sorrow increases at each progressive descending stage and happiness and bliss
increase in each progressive ascending stage.

Āsrava
The āsrava is the influx of karmas. It occurs when the karmic particles are attracted to the soul on account of
vibrations created by activities of mind, speech and body. Tattvārthasūtra, 6:1–2 states: "The activities of body,
speech and mind is called yoga. This three-fold action results in āsrava or influx of karma."
Bandha
The karmas have effect only when they are bound to the consciousness. This binding of the karma to the
consciousness is called bandha. However, theyoga or the activities alone do not produce bondage. Out of the many
causes of bondage, passion is considered as the main cause of bondage. The karmas are literally bound on account
of the stickiness of the soul due to existence of various passions or mental dispositions.
Pāpa and Punya
In many texts punya or spiritual merit and papa or spiritual demerit are counted among the fundamental reals. But
in Tattvārthasūtra the number of tattvasis seven because both punya and papa are included in āsrava or bandha.
Both punya and papa are of two types — dravya type (physical type) and abhava type (mental type).
Saṃvara
Saṃvara is stoppage of karma. The first step to emancipation or the realization of the self is
to see that all channels through which karma has been flowing into the soul have been
stopped, so that no additional karma can accumulate. This is referred to as the stoppage of
the inflow of karma (saṃvara). There are two kinds of saṃvara: that which is concerned with
mental life (bhava-saṃvara), and that which refers to the removal of karmic particles
(dravya- saṃvara). This stoppage is possible by self-control and freedom from attachment.
The practice of vows, carefulness, self-control, observance of ten kinds of dharma, mation,
and the removal of the various obstacles, such as hunger, thirst, and passion stops the
inflow of karma and protect the soul from the impurities of fresh karma.
Nirjarā
Nirjarā is the shedding or destruction of karmas that has already accumulated. Nirjarā is of two types: the psychic
aspect of the removal of karma (bhāva-nirjarā) and destruction of the particles of karma (dravya-nirjarā). Karma may
exhaust itself in its natural course when its fruits are completely exhausted. In this, no effort is required. The remaining
karma has to be removed by means of penance (avipaka-nirjarā). The soul is like a mirror which looks dim when the
dust of karma is deposited on its surface. When karma is removed by destruction, the soul shines in its pure and
transcendent form. It then attains the goal of mokṣa.
Mokṣa
Mokṣa means liberation, salvation or emancipation of soul. It is a blissful
state of existence of a soul, completely free from the karmic bondage, free
from samsara, the cycle of birth and death. A liberated soul is said to have
attained its true and pristine nature of infinite bliss, infinite knowledge and
infinite perception. Such a soul is called siddha or paramatman and
considered as supreme soul or God. In Jainism, it is the highest and the
noblest objective that a soul should strive to achieve. It fact, it is the only
objective that a person should have; other objectives are contrary to the
true nature of soul. With right faith, knowledge and efforts all souls can
attain this state. That is why, Jainism is known as mokṣamārga or the “path to liberation”.
HOW TO WRITE A WINNING RESUME
Resume writing can seem like an intimidating task, but it’s actually easier than you think. Your resume only
has one job to do: It must pique the interest of your potential employer. That’s it. It doesn’t have to tell your
life story and it doesn’t have to answer every question a potential employer might have.
Here's How: Start by researching the companies that interest you. Next, read publications or websites directly related to
your target industry. Are there particular requirements that are frequently mentioned? If so, use these requirements as keywords throughout your resume.
Detail your previous experience. Think about your background and past experiences. Take what you learned in business school and apply it to the job you seek. Emphasize relevant skills and related accomplishments.
If you have degrees, certifications, or specialized training, note it. Try to include any related unpaid work that you have done, such as internships.
Whatever you do, don't list your hobbies unless they directly apply. Concentrate only on what demonstrates
your value; leave everything else out.As you are writing, try not to use the same words over and over.
Avoiding repetition will make your resume more exciting. Drop in some of the following action words to
jazz things up a bit:
• Accomplished
• Achieved
• Attained
• Completed
• Created
• Delivered
• Demonstrated
• Enhanced
• Expanded
• Improved
• Increased
• Managed
• Obtained
• Performed
• Produced
• Secured
• Succeeded
• Surpassed
Next, make sure everything is neatly typed and spelled correctly. Your resume should be eye-catching without being flashy. Above all, it should be easy to read.
If you need ideas for layout and structure, find resume samples online or go to the library and study a book. Both outlets will offer many examples of professionally written resumes.
When your resume is finished, read it over carefully and make sure that it properly demonstrates
your value as an employee. If so, you have written an effective invitation to employers. All you need to
do now is sit back and wait for the phone to ring.

The Elder Scrolls V:
Skyrim - Dawnguard Review
It’s not surprising to see Bethesda maintaining its
tradition of following up games filled to the brim with
content with, well, even more content. The Elder
Scrolls V: Skyrim - Dawnguard isn’t a new game
nine months after the release of the superb Skyrim;
rather, the creators of the series thought it was apt
to release the first expansion pack for the game
almost a year later. The first thing you notice on
firing up Dawnguard is how well-integrated the
events of this quest line are with the rest of the
game. Unlike the previous Elder Scrolls title,
Oblivion, or even Fallout 3, where DLC and
expansion packs would have their events taking
place in confined, specially created locales, the
scenarios you face here take place across the land
of Skyrim.
You’ll be visiting a slew of both new and old places
across the world map. Be it the cities of Markarth
and Solitude you've
already explored in
the original Skyrim,
or the inherent
creepy residence of
souls and the
undead that is the Soul Cairn, you’ll find an
interesting variety of places to visit.
Dawnguard’s main storyline has you right in the
middle of an impending war between a powerful,
ancient race of vampires and the Dawnguard – a
group of highly-trained vampire hunters. As soon as
you install it, you realise that the game’s wealth of
non-playable characters start murmuring about an
increase in deaths at the hands of vampires or the
reformation of a legendary group of vampire killers.
Before you know it, you’ll find vampires and their
thralls attacking towns and the Dawnguard openly
looking for recruits. It’s smartly done and does a
great job of ensuring you deviate from your current
adventure to check out what’s going on. Very early
on, you’re forced to choose your allegiance between
the two factions. On doing so, you’d expect two
radically different chain of events to be put into
motion. However, in our playthrough, we noticed
that there were a lot of quests that were similar for
both factions.
Speaking of quests, there’s nothing that you haven’t
already played. From exploring long-forgotten ruins
to fighting dragons, you’ve done all of it in the base
game itself. There isn’t anything you have not
already experienced, which makes this expansion
feel a lot more familiar than it should.
The big draw is the fact that this expansion pack lets
you play as a vampire lord. This character class is a
heady mix of ferocious melee combat and sadistic
spell casting. Well, at least in theory. In reality, when
you decide to
transform into a
vampire lord, the
camera decides to go
into third person view.
This becomes highly
irritating, especially if you’ve burned in a hundred
odd hours or so in Skyrim like some of us have.
Furthermore, you cannot go through most corridors
or doors, and neither can you open treasure chests,
making this mode feel stunted in spite of morphing
into an absolute, lumbering beast with monstrous
capabilities. The end result is that it ends up feeling
clunky, slow and not quite enjoyable as it should
be.
You do get your hands on some interesting perks,
though, such as being able to teleport, transform
into the mist or summon gargoyles. Aside from this,
the already-existing werewolf class gets some new
skills as well, and while they’re nice to have, they
don’t do much to take the experience farther.
It's a good thing then you’re not forced into
becoming a
creature of the
night.
However, it’s
not as if the
alternative is
any better.
You see, playing the role of one of the elite
Dawnguard only gives you access to the crossbow,
which is just a souped up bow from the base game,
besides being able to hire armoured trolls to do your
bidding in the war against vampirism. Aside from
these, there isn’t much else and there aren't many
incentives in the way of perks or character classes
to play as a vampire hunter. Having said that,
joining the Dawnguard ensures an experience that’s
as close to the base game you’ve already wasted
lots of time on with nothing new or different. This
makes it the less attractive option of the two.
After launching
the Sony Xperia
S earlier this year, Sony
upped the ante by
recently introducing its
elder cousin, the Xperia
ion. Despite having
only a dual-core CPU,
the phone is priced at
Rs 37,000, pitting it
against the likes of quad-core behemoths such
asLG's Optimus 4X HD, the HTC One
X, and Samsung's GALAXY S III. Whether it will
emerge unscathed from this uphill battle remains to be seen. For now, here are my first impressions
of the product, based on a brief hands-on experience.
The Xperia ion features a 1.5 GHz dual-core
processor. It has a large 4.6" TFT LCD display, which is fairly bright. The screen's pixel
dimensions are 720x1280, resulting in a pixel
density of around 320 ppi (the iPhone 4S has 326
ppi). The onscreen icons and text are very sharp.
Holding the lightweight phone feels good, but it
could have done with a textured back panel for a
better grip (and fewer fingerprint smudges).
Overall, the build quality is fairly decent. Here's
the full list of specifications:
• Quad-band GSM (850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz); quad-band

IV, Band XVII), uses micro-SIM.
• 4.6" scratch-resistant, shatter-proof, 4-point multi-touch
TFT capacitive screen with 16 million colours and
720x1280 pixels (320 ppi).
• Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich), PlayStation certified.
• 1.5 GHz dual-core Qualcomm CPU with Adreno 220 GPU
and 1 GB of RAM.
• 11.2 GB internal storage, 32 GB microSD card slot.
• 12.1 mp camera with auto-focus, LED flash, Exmor
R mobile sensor, Full HD video recording (1080p);

•
On the software front, it features Android 4.0
(ICS) with an interface that operates very
smoothly. It has a 12 mp camera, along with a
dedicated camera button. Unfortunately, it's
slightly hard to press. The time between
successive shots is very low, while the resulting
photographs are fairly decent under good lighting
conditions. However, under low light, a lot of
noise creeps into the images. Keep your eyes
peeled for a full review very soon. In the
meantime, here's a video of the interface.
How to Invest in Share Market?
Share Market
Share Market is a place where everyone takes bath in order to taste the money. But it purely depends
on the fundamentals, luck, global cues, behavior of other country markets, currency rate, Forex
rates, currency trading etc. Trading is done in terms of the shares.

investors understanding the fundamentals of the
company, turnover, and volumes traded, balance
sheet and so on.
How To Invest ?
If you want to pull out the
invested money in short
term, you should choose the critical moving sectors and

Long Term investment. In long term investment one should analyze the
pure fundamentals of the company, the dividend
amount it pays to the shareholders, the capital &
the % of share ratio between company & public.
Terms of Investment
Basically investors should go for two types of
investments, short term and long term.
Short term investments are one that an investor
will buy stocks and keep in his portfolio for at
least 3-6 months. Gain must me kept in mind and
thus the selection of stocks plays vital role here.
Equity advisor consultancy is recommended.
Long term investments are one that an investor
will buy stocks and keep in his portfolio for more
than 6 months and for years. Here portfolio
management is very important as many tax free
income flashes the eye like Dividend, investment
duration etc.
How To Invest in Commodity Market ? You may have your debt and equity funds in place, but investing in commodities could just be
the one element to
improve your
portfolio.
Commodity trading
provides an ideal
asset allocation, also
helps you hedge
against inflation and
buy a piece of global
demand growth.
Why invest in commodities?
Commodities allow a portfolio to improve overall
return at the same level of risk.
Who should invest?
Any investor who wants to take advantage of price movements and wishes to diversify his
portfolio can invest in commodities. However, retail and small investors should be careful while
investing in commodities as the swings are volatile and lack of knowledge may result in loss
of wealth.Investing in commodities should be undertaken as a kicker in your portfolio and not as
the first destination for your money.
What is commodity trading?
Commodity trading is nothing but trading in
commodity spot and derivatives (futures).
Commodity derivatives are traded on the National
Commodity and Derivative Exchange (NCDEX)
and the
Multi-
Commodity
Exchange
(MCX).
Gold, silver,
agri-
commodities including grains, pulses, spices, oils and
oilseeds, mentha oil, metals and crude are some of the commodities that these exchanges deal in.
How big is the Indian commodity trading
market as compared to other Asian markets?
The commodity market in India clocks a daily
average turnover of Rs 12,000-15,000 crore (Rs
120-150 billion). The accumulative commodities
derivatives trade value is estimated to have
reached the equivalent of 66 per cent of the gross
domestic product and the future will only see the
percentage rising.
What do you need to start trading?
Like equity markets, you have to fulfil the 'know
your customer' norms with a commodity broker. A
photo identification, PAN and proof of address are
essential for registration. You will also have to
sign the necessary agreements with the broker.
Is there a regulator for the commodity trading
market? The Forward Markets Commission is the
regulatory body for the commodity market in India. It is the equivalent of the Securities and
Exchange Board of India (SEBI), which protects the interests of investors in securities.
What are the risk factors?
Commodity trading is done in the form of futures
and that throws up a huge potential for profit and
loss as it involves predictions of the future and
hence uncertainty and risk. Risk factors in
commodity trading are similar to futures trading in
equity markets.
A major difference is that the information
availability on supply and demand cycles in
commodity markets is not as robust and controlled
as the equity market.
What are the factors that influence the
commodity prices in the market?
The commodity market is driven by demand and
supply factors and inventory, when it comes to
perishable commodities such as agricultural
products and high demand products such as crude
oil. Like any market, the demand-supply equation
influences the prices. Variables like weather,
social changes, government policies and global
factors influence the balance.
What is the difference between directional
trading and day trading?
The key difference between commodity markets
and stock markets is the nature of products traded. Agricultural produce is unpredictable and
seasonal. During harvesting season, the prices of these commodities are low as supply goes up.
There are traders who use these patterns to trade in the commodity market, and this is termed
directional trading.
Does commodity speculation affect agricultural
income in India?
The vision for the commodity market in India is to
reduce information asymmetry and make a robust
market available to the end producer or farmer. It
is also expected to balance out price information
and give the producer a better price and a platform
to hedge.

MOVIE REVIEW – OMG – OH MY GOD (RELEASED 28TH
SEP 2012)
Oh My God (OMG) is based on a Gujarati play titled "Kanji Virrudh Kanji" written by Bhavesh Mandalia. Written by Bhavesh Mandalia & Umesh Shukla, Oh My God (OMG) is produced by Akshay Kumar who also has a crucial role in the movie. Paresh Rawal is back in a substantial role in OMG which released this past Friday. The movie’s plot is as follows.
Kanji Bhai is a Gujarati businessman in Mumbai, who doesn’t believe in God. His disbelief becomes stronger when a freak earthquake destroys only his shop while the others are safe. The insurance company refuses to pay him damages saying it is an ‘Act of God’. Kanji becomes agitated at this and decides to throw a case against God himself in the court and claims damages from God. The entire state is polarized by his decision to challenge God and what follows is a legal drama as Kanji has to take on the influential Godmen and priests in the society.
Whether Kanji finally accepts the existence of God and does he positively influence the public which increasingly starts looking at him as a messiah?
The movie is a gutsy and daring attempt to demystify the concept of God. There are many brave attacks on the culture of Godmen, the practice of idol worship, the crores of money collected at temples and they even go as far to say that religion is becoming a big business in the country. The movie states all this with adequate doses of drama and entertainment in the form of razor-sharp dialogues.
The performances are top notch, led by Paresh Rawal as Kanji. He shoulders the movie throughout. His caliber is well known anyway. Mithun Chakraborty as the effeminate Godman must be a really plucky actor to pull this role off with ease. He doesn’t overdo his reactions and his antics bring a chuckle for sure. Akshay Kumar has a very likable cameo as Lord Krishna. The way he bonds with Kanji in his house is beautiful. The bike which he uses is a killer though his intro stunts on the bike are poorly executed thanks to the tacky graphics.
Govind Namdeo is another aggressive Godman and he overdoes his part. Kanji’s family has been well enacted by the support characters and so is his neighbor. Om Puri is dignified as the lawyer while Prabhu Deva and Sonakshi Sinha send the feet tapping wildly in their ‘Go Govinda’ special number.
All the courtroom scenes are gripping and the dialogues make these episodes really hard-hitting. The drama towards the end goes overboard but the movie’s intentions and the nice ending which gives out a valid message, brings the movie back on track.
The cinematography and the music are pretty basic and just serve the purpose of the movie which is primarily to educate the audience without getting preachy.
To sum up, OMG is a worthy watch for the atheists as well as the believers. It makes some valid points on the concept of God and doesn’t beat around the bush. The makers have the guts to call a spade a spade and what we get is a no holds barred debate on religion and the masses’ attitude towards the same.
Verdict: OMG is a thought provoking and hard hitting take on the enigma that is God. Go for it!

MOVIE PREVIEW : ENGLISH VINGLISH
Gauri Shinde who is the director of ENGLISH VINGLISH would not have dreamt when she signed Sridevi as the
lead star that the film would get a thunderous applause going on for ten minutes at the Toronto International Festival,
and it was a standing ovation. Well, the subject chosen by
Gauri Shinde is indeed such that it has been lapped by the
audience around the world and the time is just round the
corner where it should be lapped in India as well when it
releases in the cinema halls this Friday 5th
Oct 2012.
Well, it sort of underlines the maxim 'Mulgee sikhlee
pragati jhaali'- the slogan which has been at the center
stage propagated by the government of Maharashtra to
ensure that a girl gets education, as when a girl gets
educated it has a multiplier effect of a family getting
educated. Well, the reader may wonder what is the connection of ENGLISH VINGLISH with Mulgi shikli Pragatai
jhaali?
The binding chord is a struggle that a woman has with a language and how she surmounts all the problems and come
out in flying colors. ENGLISH VINGLISH underlines the struggle of Sridevi to learn a language - English , which she
otherwise is not conversant with, and how she is determined to learn the language and tell the world that when a
woman decides that she has to attain something, nothing can deter her from attaining it.
So in that context, the Mulgi- Sridevi moves mountains to learn the English language
and interprets the process of learning in her own way and ensures that she is on the path
to progress as she has mastered the language which is the first stepping stone to make a
mark in USA. Sridevi is instructed to break long words into two to learn them, so she is
advised to learn Manhattan by breaking into two- man and hattan. In the same way she
breaks the word judgmental into two, judge and mental.
ENGLISH VINGLISH operates at the other level as well, the craze in the Indian families of learning English so we
have funny situations where to demonstrate that one knows English the communication is peppered with words in
such a way that it creates hilarious situations, like - English mein talk karo. The character played by Sridevi in the film
is forced to learn English if she has to earn respect of her family and this is an existentialist dilemma that ladies face in
the families that they are married to.
But with the changing times, the women have also started rising to the challenge and ENGLISH VINGLISH indeed
would go a long way in emerging as a source of inspiration for the women in India and abroad not to be cowed down
by any situation but fight it out to emerge the winner.
