The most awaited week of Praushana starts from 23/08/2014 and ends on 30/08/2014.( One day difference may occur due to Thithi calculation by various sub sections.).One can follow as his branch.
The last day is celebrated as Savastari. It falls due after 50 days of Chaturmas with balance of 70 days of it. As per Samyangsutra's 70 Samyay it always falls due on Shukla Panchmai of Bhadrapada month. Jains attach so much importance to this days since for most souls next life fixation chances are higher on this particular day. This particular time is unknown to all living souls hence it is always better to have good thoughts all this week. First seven days are meant for preparation and last 8th day is examination day.
By tradition in this week Jainism followers visit Sthanak and Jain Temples to listen Antagarhasutra read by Gurudeo. The Sutra covers stories of recent past of this Avasarpinikaal .It covers souls who attained salvation .Total stories are 90.Out of it 41male and 10 female souls got salvation in the era of Arishtanemiji Bhagwan.
16 male and 23female gender got salvation in period of Bhagwan Mahaveerswamiji. Listening can Shrawak motivate to take Diksha.
The purpose behind reading this Sutra is that the listener shall purify their thinking process and think to change their life style so as to march on road of salvation as a minimum. He can also take Diksha.
The inspirational stories covers life of Arjunamali, Queens of Lord Krishna and king Shrenik, Gajsukumalji and others. The Shrawak knowing the importance keep themselves busy in various religious i.e. fast ,Samaik, Swdhya ,Aalochana ,Pratikaman ,Sawar, Poushdha etc.So many couples take vows of Sheelvrata ( Bramachary)-the most difficult Tap ever. In spite of wife and husband relationship they decide to end physical relations for ever. It's a great vow of life.
This great week is said to be celebrated even by Devata from heaven and Thirthankar Bhagwan in Mahavedhaha region.
Newcomers ,NRI,Students and youngsters living out of home ,working out of county may not be aware of all of it but definitely they can try not to eat roots ,fruits, vegetables and have dinner before sunset and Jaap of Navkar Mantra in this week to best of own ability.
Movies or picnics in this week can be avoided. In simple word have the week with most simple ways as monks follow to the maximum extent. On last day we have to seek forgiveness for mistakes committed in the year knowingly or unknowingly form all living souls. It clears personal account with each others.
Overall very good week to add good deeds and cut off bad Karmas. For major part of year we enjoy outer connections, let us keep a week reserved for inner connection and purification of our souls.
Let us move to purification of soul. Just determine to celebrate last day with full day fast .Take care to break fast next day minimum after sunrise with hot milk with pure Ghee, drinking water is not advisable while breaking fast. One can search for Parna centers in near by area, Mostly all Jain Temples and places of Chaturmas of Maharajasaab try to keep this facility. All the best--
