MOKSHAPATA ...the board of Enlightenment!

A dice game from ancient India, was invented by the Hindu sages. It was meant to teach the spiritual path to moksha, which is liberation from reincarnation. This game of divination was also used to guide people who were afflicted by samsara...

the 'Pata' (Board) symbolizes a spiritual philosophy along with numbers. It signifies the knowledge of moral and spiritual teaching which is symbolically inscribed on it. The teachings are related to the theory of Karma. Its different stages, good and bad, are the teaching of spirituality and philosophical life of human beings.

In a Universe of infinite dimensions, every point is the absolute centre. You are such a point.

Misfortune and sorrow is often the soul's last resort in moving a person closer to the right path. And who is to say what a misfortune truly is? The soul's path is not easy to describe, and rarely simple to resolve. But we try.

There are 72 numbered squares on the board listing virtues, vices, states of consciousness and planes of existence. The ladders start from squares with virtues, such as devotion, and move the player up the board. Snakes are found on squares of vices, such as jealousy, and take the player back down the board.

How MOKSHAPATA helps & its significance:

I. You learn how to deal with repeating Karmic patterns.
ii. Why do things happen, as they do? How do you deal with them? The understanding.
iii. You lean to identify your soul - lessons, and how to deal with them.
