Spiritual Discussion - Sant Rampal Ji & Acharya Shri Vijay Dharam Dhurandhar Sureshwar Ji


This debate consists of the thoughts of Jain Aacharya Shri Vijay Dharam Dhurandhar Sureshwar ji and Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj. Jain Acharya believes in two forms of supreme god: Sakaar, the tangible embodiment of Arihant, who establishes righteousness and enlightenment, lasting until attaining nirvana (Moksha). Worshipping Arihant is called Sakaar Upaasna. While the contemplation of the soul of supreme God is known as Nirakaar Bhakti. So according to him Jain followers engage in Sakaar Bhakti and Nirakar Bhakti both.

In the debate Acharya confirms his belief in the authenticity of Veda and Geeta ji. According to Acharya, the sound "om" is not exclusive to any particular philosophy, but rather exists in all of them. It is believed by some that it symbolises the "Namaskar mantra". Furthermore, Acharya states that Tirthankara is liberated from the cycle of rebirth.

Sant Rampal ji Maharaj uses the book “Aao Jain Dharam Ko Jaane'' for his points. He says that Rishabhdev (Baba Adam) is mentioned on page 154 in "Aao Jain Dharam Ko Jaane". In Hazrat Mohammad's biography, it’s written that he travelled on 'Burak' to visit 'Baitool Makdees' and prayed with respected individuals like Ibrahim Alehee Salam, Hazrat Musa Ji and Hazrat Isa-Ali. Hazrat Muhammad saw Baba Adam crying. Baba Adam's righteous children were in Heaven on the right side, while his disobedient children suffered on the left side. This proves that the soul of Adam didn’t get salvation.
Marichi, initiated by his grandfather Rishabh Dev, became Lord Mahavir after many lifetimes. In "Aao Jain Dharm Ko Jaane," it is mentioned that Mahavir Jain experienced various life forms and hardships. Above two examples prove that Tirthankaras are also in the cycle of death and birth. 

The Gita teaches about the cycle of birth and rebirth and chanting 'Om' to connect with God. However, chanting 'Om' alone doesn't lead to liberation from rebirth. 

From the spiritual debate it’s clear that Aacharya Shri Vijay Dharam Dhurandhar Sureshwar ji is not having any spiritual knowledge.
