Friends, the much awaited Jain festival of a week is arriving on the horizon from 08th Sept 2026 to 15th Sept 2026.15th Sept.is a most auspicious day of "Sawastari",Herewith I share few guidelines for new devotees. As they may not be aware of so much importance to those 8
days. I will also share few Do and Don't assuming short time available. First let me explain the importance of "Sawastari." Each year it falls due on Bhadrapada Shukla Panchmi. Bhagwan informed us that next life fixation may happen for some of us on this particular day. The exact moment for those may differ but the day will be same. Previous seven days are given to us to get prepared for this probable great event. The feelings and sentiments at that moment can help to have next life in a better Gati and better class. If one is fortunate to be in India having Sadhuji or Swadhiji in Stanak or Derasar he can see that daily he hears "Antagara Sutra".It is an Aagam having stories of 90 noble souls from era of " Neminathji and Mahaveer Swam who attained Moksha. All these stories motivate us to take" Diksha" and walk on salvation path. There one can learn tolerance of Arjun Mali and Gajsukumarji. A touching story of kid Evanta Muniji is there. A thought given to all these stories can tell us Moksha need sacrifice. 1-Try to have minimum Pachkhan from Navkarshi to Vaas. Anyhow do not miss the Upvaas and Pratikaman on Sawastari day. 2.-Make our soul lighter by offering "Aalochana" for known and unknown sins committed. Offer a heartfelt sorry Michhamidukadam.
