File Samosarana Mysore.jpg thumb 300px Samavsarana of Mahavira as depicted in 19th century art from Mysore Samavasarana or Samosharana is a Jainism Jain term for the divine preaching hall or the assembly of the Tirthankar after attaining perfect knowledge, or kevalgnan . ref http philtar.ucsm.ac.uk encyclopedia jainism jains.html Jains Bot generated title ref It also refers to the hall in which the speech is given. The assembly is termed samosharna because it offers refuge sharana to all samo living beings equally. The theme of Samavasaranas has been a popular one in Jain art. Effects of the Samavasarana Jains believe that during this speech, there is no unhappiness for miles around the site. The Tirthankar sits on a soft cushion while he speaks, and music is played. Most Jains believe that he would speak so that all human s and animal s can understand the language, and his voice would be so pleasant that it would literally sound melodious. Jain scriptures say that all creatures who listen would become Ahimsa less violent and Aparigraha greedy . All creatures, especially Jain ascetics, would be encouraged to come to the event, no matter how far they are. Hall Jain doctrine states that there would be four tiers in the circular hall where the Samavasarana would be held. The first and highest would be for the Tirthankar and his Ganadhar s, or disciples. It would have a cushion that is shaded by a tree twelve times the height of the Tirthankar. The second tier would be for humans, and the third for animals. The fourth would be an area to park the vehicle s and modes of transportation in which the visitors would arrive. According to Jainism, there would be gates on all sides of the hall. The total size of the hall would be 12 km and the area on which it sits would have been cleaned and leveled pneumatically. ref http www.jainworld.com JWFrench jainworld jainbooks tirthankar apendex 14.htm APPENDIX 14 Bot generated title ref References References External links http www.t ... more details
