Hello, friends, I am most excited to introduce you to a person who is not only a Saint, a philosopher but also a great Scientist.
•Meet the living legend Prof Muni Mahendra Kumar, who at the age of 81 years is still active in sharing his profound knowledge, by way of lectures and writing books. He is a disciple of the great Jain Acharya Shri Mahashraman.
•At the age of 20, after passing in first class in B.Sc. (Honors in Physics) from the University of Bombay, Muni Mahendra was initiated. Among other, he is a professor at Jain Vishva Bharati University. His tenure of a Jain monk is sixty-one years!
•Human-Computer! Meet the living legend Prof Muni Mahendra Kumar, who is a disciple of the great Jain Acharya Shri Mahashraman.
•His demonstration of Avadhana Vidya - the rare ancient science of MEMORY power and ORAL MATHEMATICAL calculations - at several universities and international conferences has earned him an epitaph of "Human Computer".
•Avadhan Programs were held at some of the most prestigious places in front of prominent leaders and august audiences:
1. In 1958 in the presence of Zakir Husain Khan, Governor House, Patna, Bihar
2. In 1958, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh
3. In 1961 at International Conference at Vigyan Bhavan, New Delhi
4. In 1966 in the presence of Sampoornanand, Governor House, Jaipur, Rajasthan,
5. In 1967 in the presence of Vice Chancellor Govind Chandra Pande, at the Rajasthan University, Jaipur
6. In 1969 in the presence of Lilavati Munshi, member of the Rajya Sabha, at the Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan, Mumbai
7. In 1991 International Conference at Rajsamand, Rajasthan
8. In 1970 Max Muller Bhavan, New Delhi
9. In 1995, IIT Delhi
10. In 2005 International Conference at Rashtrapati Bhavan, New Delhi
•Muni Mahendra Kumar is a versatile scholar of diverse disciplines like Physics, Mathematics, Biosciences, Philosophy, Psychology, Parapsychology, Ancient History, and Meditation; besides being conversant with the modern languages including English, German, Hindi, Gujarati, Rajasthani and ancient languages including Sanskrit, Prakrit, and Pali. He has learned 18 languages!
•It is a fact that pure philosophers cannot comprehend the nature of the universe without the help of science. On the other hand, pure scientists also cannot give a systematic and consistent form to their ultimate theories of the universe. A newly advanced harmony is urgently needed today to unite science and philosophy, but there are only a few persons who will be able to undertake such a task.
•Muni Mahendra Kumarji holds a distinguished place of honor amongst such scholar-gems. On one hand, he has made a deep study of modern science, and on other hands, he is an expert of philosophy. He has the same expertise in both the Jain doctrine of syādvāda and the Einstein theory of relativity and Quantum Mechanics.
•Listen carefully what Acharya Shri Mahashraman says about him
•Muni Mahendra has met many distinguished personalities. Just before Diksha, in 1957, at New Delhi, that is before becoming a Jain monk, he along with his father Mr. Jetha Bhai Zaveri, met Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, at that time he was the first Vice-President of India.
After he became a monk, he met many leaders such as Past Presidents of India, V. V. Giri, Gyani Zail Singh, Dr. Abdul Kalam, Pratibha Patil. And past Prime Ministers, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, and Atal Bihari Vajpayee, etc.
•Muni Mahendra was the main spiritual inspiration behind the International Conference on Science and Jain philosophy that was held at IIT Bombay, January 2016. You know the great scientist late Professor Stephen Hawkins. But do you know his Mentor was Sir Roger Penrose? The highlight of the conference was that the great Scientist and guru of Stephen Hawkins, Sir Roger Penrose himself participated over Skype meeting for three hours, and appreciated this initiative of International Conference on Science and Jain philosophy.
•Prof Muni Mahendra Kumar is well known for his study about the mind, wisdom and intelligence, Emotional Quotient the EQ, and so on. His Holiness Dalia Lama publicly appreciated Muni Mahendra Kumar at the Mind and Life 22nd conference in New Delhi, India, on November 21st, 2010.
•Muni Mahendra has written a masterpiece, the title of the book is The Enigma of the Universe. Now you know our former President of India, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam. He is a renowned missile scientist. He met Muni Mahendra and was so impressed by the manuscript that he planned to release the book at his own residence at Delhi. The book is a unique blending of Jain mathematics and Cosmology. A detailed mathematical discussion of innumerable and infinite numbers is an innovative approach in the whole history of mathematics.
•He has been spearheading many conferences on peace.
•Explaining Meditation in scientific terms is his forte. He has conducted several meditation camps
•Author of over 60 books on comparative studies on Science and Philosophy, Meditation, Mathematics, Atomic Science, and Jainism, etc. Here are some of the outstanding Books authored by Prof Muni Mahendra Kumar.
•In conclusion, don’t you agree that Prof Muni Mahendra Kumar is a living legend of our time?

The principle behind the process of change is - tolerance, to endure. The capacity for endurance is necessary for bringing about a change. Without forbearance (सहनशीलता) a man cannot change.
No discipline (अनुशासन) is possible without the development of tolerance. We try to maintain discipline. We want to inculcate discipline among the students and politicians, among the labourers, and the workers. We want discipline to grow in every sphere. All of us want discipline, but we forget the basic fact that without the development of the power of tolerance, there can be no progress towards discipline. Therefore, all our effort should be directed towards developing the power of tolerance. Only then will discipline flourish.
The development of tolerance is the development of power!
• With this force, it is possible to bear other people's deficiencies (faults) and idiosyncrasies (eccentricities), without losing own control. And deal with situation with maturity.
The problem of discipline has become very acute today because man has grown to be intolerant. Without tolerance, there can be no growth of discipline. Discipline is only an effect, and the cause thereof is the power of tolerance.
Tolerance implies FORGIVENESS. The question of age does not arise. The elderly people treat the young with forbearance and the young treat their elders likewise. In this mutual forbearance, no obligation is involved; it only inspires respect for oneself.

A ‘DOSE’ of happiness can come from the neurotransmitters DOPAMINE, OXYTOCIN, SEROTONIN AND ENDORPHINS
How does happy happen?
Can we train ourselves to be happy?
Yes... by MEDITATION you can. But understand the SCIENTIFIC reason
It’s all in the brain.
The release of four chemicals in the brain is the reason behind your happiness.
1.
Happiness is a broad term for many feelings and emotions. It can be pleasure, contentment, joy, feeling meaningful etc. You can call dopamine the ‘reward chemical’.
Next is oxytocin - you can call it the ‘cuddle chemical’.
We all love feeling confident and important.
But before you thank your partner for your good mood, thank serotonin first! It’s the ‘confidence chemical’.
Finally, there are endorphins - the ‘pain killer’.
Science does say that we can take control of our happiness. We can train ourselves to be happy by knowing what makes us feel good and what will release these chemicals.
We do have the capacity to turn bad into good.
The possibility of getting a reward triggers a dopamine release and you feel good. And then again there’s a pleasure kick when you actually win the reward.
Say you’re playing a video game, you’re charged and excited to go to the next level, which is the reward and then you’re doubly excited when you win.
2.
It’s the feeling of trust, closeness and intimacy you have with people you share a good bond with. Two people giggling in love, a baby playing with a dog, a parent with their child - all of that releases oxytocin and makes you feel that cuddly happiness that makes you go aww.
Oxytocin is a neurotransmitter and a hormone that is produced in the hypothalamus. Concentrate on hypothalamus during meditation exercise.
3.
It’s released when you feel significant and worthy. And a lack of serotonin makes you feel lonely and depressed.
4.
Endorphin is the body’s natural morphine. It’s released when we feel physical exertion.
Can We Train Ourselves to be Happy?
That means you focus on positive events in life to feel good.
We’re all trying to find and chase happiness, but at the end of the day science says - it’s more or less in your hands!
In conclusion: You might not have a money tree, but you can have a happiness tree. DOPAMINE, OXYTOCIN, SEROTONIN AND ENDORPHINS hormones are responsible for your happiness.
Many situations can trigger these neurotransmitters, but instead of being in the passenger seat, there are ways you can intentionally cause them to flow.
Practice Meditation....Concentrate on various psychic-centres and visualise bright colours....Feel good...Enjoy the peace within.
