WHY PRODUCE A FILM ON JAIN ENLIGHTENMENT IN AMERICA ?
Why is Jain Dharma important for today’s day and age ? What answers does it offer modern civilization ? Most Jain Dharma’s ancient scientific theology and teachings are being revealed by modern scentists as Fact not Fiction …
Today, we are living in a modern world seething in disharmony … Extreme violence of Terrorism. Environmental destruction leading to chaos. Whenever the Earth rumbles it causes major man-made natural disasters. Unsettling the daily lives of human beings with mental and physical insecurities, perpetual cravings for possessions, resulting in exploitation of human dignity.
The purpose of the production is to focus and bring the past, present and future of Jain’s scientific philsophy as an alternative way of life in the new millennium and offer solutions to our hi-tech, industralized modern world, plagued with terrorism, physical/mental violence and utmost greed.
The Jina is the human being reincarnated … he/she who, through the span of earthly living, subdues passions and frees the soul from all karmas and attains Omniscience – the natural innate quality of the soul.
How many of us desire to become omniscient ? This means "seeing all things all the time, while preaching to the world the true path to salvation for all suffering souls. How many of us feel that Karmas follows the doer just as the shadow accompanies the man. The soul after attaining complete salvation willnever take birth or chane its present state of pure, divine and fablous bliss.
The filmmakers have edited a 10 min DEMO titled "NON-VIOLENCE FOR HUMAN SURVIVAL" to start work on TV series: JAIN ENLIGHTENMENT – A Way of Life" which has already been filmed. For more information: http://jainenlightenment.blogspot.com
Jainism believe that the Universe is Timeless … Limitless …
They are a relatively small minority, most living in India because they are rooted in the demands made on individual existence. Jain philosophy, with its abstract ideas and its catagorical emphasis on its own traditions, made thelikelihood of change almost impossible.
It is said, Buddha followed Jain Dharma in his youth, but moved away because the scientific rituals and philosophy made it too difficult to follow. In contrast to the Jain meagre population of believers, have built numerous grandiose Jain temples that surpass in splendor and expense representing evidence of remarkable affluency of Jains.
Jains do not believe in blind faith – they repersent a faith which is a scientific philosophy of reason. They believe in the existence of the soul and re-incarnations.
The visual storyline of the film is dominated by "the Storyteller" explaiing to Americans and worldwide TV audiences his personal discovery of the essence of the scientific philosophy of Jain Dharma. It will answer several questions in a docudramatic style, with appropriate music and fine editing skills involving special effects and animation.
