If a man wants to attain or acheive anything in life, he must possess the intellectual incisiveness and farsightedness to examine and to realise the nature of any objectprinciple. If one vows to live by the principle of truth, and does not have the firmness or strength to be true to that vow,time and again he will face utter disappointment,as well as the absence of fulfilment on his path of life.Therefore to achieve any external or internal development in life,possessing the qualities of mental firmness and concentration to follow principles,are absolutely essential to pursue the path of Salvation(Moksha or Parampad).
It is of paramount importance to keep the mind concentrated in auspicious meditation,in order to attain the purity and perfection of the soul.There is a need for a prop,to help intensify the process of the mind acquiring concentration.The Anänupurvis are simple time tested tables,which have been thus formulated by Jain monks, combining
mathematics with spiritual meditation to aid the concentration of ones mind.
Three main types of Annanupurvi are:
1.Navkar Annanupurvi
2.Thirthankar Annanupurvi
3.Navpad Annanupurvi
There is a famous couplet about the importance of the Anänupurvi.
Chant the Ananupurvi everyday and your mind will be stable.
It benefits are akin to six-month penance,and cleanses the mud of sin.
The king of mantras,Navkär showers the essence of peace of mind,
and fills the mundane life with happiness,leading to immortality.”
