In Karma theory Part 4 I have mentioned that Charitra Mohaniya Karma is divided into two parts 1. Kashaya and 2. No-Kashaya. Kashaya are further divided into four groups of four each. These are 1. Anantanuvandhi 2. Apratyakhyanavaraniya or Apratyakhyani 3. Pratyakhyanavaraniya or Pratyakhyani 4. Sanjwalan
These four groups demonstrate capacity of a Kashya to restrain Atma from ascending Gunasthana. Anantanuvandhi resists Atma to obtain Samyaktwa and keeps in Mithyatwa.
Apratyakhyanavaraniya or Apratyakhyani resists from taking any vows keeps Atma in Avrati stage.
Pratyakhyanavaraniya or Pratyakhyani resists Atma from obtaining monk hood or complete vows. It resists Jeeva from total sacrifice and keeps in Desh Virati stage.
Sanjwalan Kashaya restricts Jeeva from obtaining Veetrag dasha i.e. total abolution of Mohaniya Karma. These four Kashaya (Each) are further classified into four categories according to the nature of the particular Kashaya. These four are
1. Krodh (Anger)
2. Man (Ego)
3. Maya (Deceiving)
4. Lobh (Greed)
Hence, Kashaya are of 4X4 types i.e. 16.
No- Kashaya: Here "No" means supporting. There are nine No-Kashaya those are not themselves Kashaya but act as catalyst to Kashaya. These motivates and provoke Jeeva to act on Kashayik Bhava or Parinam.
1. Hasya (Laugh)
2. Rati (Liking)
3. Arati (Disliking)
4. Bhay (Fear)
5. Shok (Mourning)
6. Duganchha or Jugupsa (Hatred) Above mentioned six are referred as Hasyadi Shatak.
There are three Veda which are also included among nine No- Kashaya. Veda represents sexual desires.
1. Purush Veda (Male sex) 2. Shtree Veda (Female sex) 3. Napunsak Veda (Impotent)
Please note that these Veda are not related to physical appearances but to sexual desires. Sixteen Kashaya and nine No- Kashaya altogether are twenty five types of Charitra Mohaniya Karma. While we include three types of Darshan Mohaniya karma we get a result of twenty eight types of Mohaniya Karma.
Please remember that Mohaniya karma is the emperor of all Karma. Jain karma theory warns to be cautious of these karma. Karma theory of Jainism preaches to eradicate Darshan Mohaniya karma and Anantanuvandhi kashaya at first stage to achieve Samyaktwa or Samyag Darshan. And then to eradicate rest of twelve Kashaya and nine No- Kashaya including Hasyadi Shatak and three Veda to obtain Veetraga dasha. Veetraga dasha is the only way to achieve Keval Jnyan (Gyan) or omniscience.
Wish every reader eradication of Mohaniya karma to obtain Veetraga dasha.

While listening news of Jyoti Basu , me and my wife remembered an incident. I would like to bring it to all of you. You may find it interesting.
My son Darshan was small enough at that time, mere six months old. We were traveling back from Kolkata to Jaipur. It was some day in July 1993, just after a massive and aggressive campaign by Mamata Banerjee in Kolkata that took couple of lives in police firing.
Darshan started crying while entering into the compartment. He did not stop crying for very long time. An elderly lady, sitting near by our berths, asked me and my wife what happened to my son. We failed to understand why was he crying. Hence, we could not reply.
She told me to hand over Darshan to her and surprisingly he stopped crying in her lap. She had shown Grand motherly affection to him. I wanted to know who she was and two other ladies assisting her told us that she was Srimati Kanak Mukherjee, MP, Rajyasabha and wife of Prof. Saroj Mukherjee, Chairman. CPI(M). I knew prof. Saroj Mukherjee. Kanak Di was also accompanied by another Loksabha MP Badal Di from Nadia.
We had almost a full day with them until we got down. When Kanak di came to know my name she exclaimed, " Oh! so you are Jyoti babu !" I had come out with a quick reply, " Yes, and my wife is Mamta". I added that we are living peacefully together and not quarreling like Jyoti Basu and Mamata Banerjee in West Bengal. The conversation created lot of humor.
