6. THEORY OF KARMA (PART
1)
|
|
 We and only we are the reason for our suffering or happiness.
This can be explained by the theory of Karma. Therefore, it is very important that
we understand this process very clearly. It also explains what karmas are, why and
what role karmas play in our life (with soul), and how do we accumulate different
kinds of karmas as well as how we get rid of them.

7. AREA OF THE WORLD FAMOUS
PARASNATH TEMPLE
TO BE DEVELOPED INTO TOURIST CENTRE
|
|
 The area of world famous Parasnath Temple, situated in Giridih
district, will be developed into an attractive tourist destination. This is truly
an ominous announcement for the future of our Teerthbhoomi. How can a Pilgrimage
place be a pleasure place? Once a place becomes a Tourist place, sanctity of the
pilgrimage place will be permanently lost. JAINA will collaborate with Jain Leaders
in India to rectify this situation.
