JAINISM--WELCOME CHATURMAS--- 2016-----------!!!

One of my Blog Reader asked me to share time table for coming Chaturmas with a brief on it's importance. Here are the details with a hope that it can also guide other devotees.
I have here Pakkhi Panchang of Sthanakwasi traditions based on it the time table is being provided. Brothers and sisters having faith in different branches of Jainism need to make necessary adjustments to follow Chaturmas. As Thithi calculations differ the difference arise.
1) 19-07-2016: Full Moon day - Starting Chaturmas .
2) 30/08/2016 to  06/09/2016: Paryusan Parva.
3) 06/09/2016: Panchmai - Sawastari Mahaparva,
4) 07/09/2016: Khamatkhamna - Forgiveness Day.
5) 30/10/2016: Dipawali - Full dark day (Amawasya).It is being
 celebrated as Mahaveer Bhagwan's Nirwan /Moksha day.
6) 14-11-2016: Full Moon Day - Chaturmas Ending.
For eight months we keep running after body and money. Bhagwan Mahaveerswami asked all devotees to reserve 4 months for soul and it's introspection. Every Jain and other who seek to attain salvation in future must utilize maximum period of this Chaturmas.
 Those four months of monsoon favors maximum birth of plants. To avoid harms to them Bhagwan asked all monks (Sadhus and Sadhvies) to stay at one place in this period. Soon all cities will witness arrival of Gurudeo as per approval of Chaturmas places.
So be ready to have maximum religious engagements with them to purify our soul to maximum extent. In case one is too busy mark not to miss the date 06/09/2016 means Sawastari .On this day next life fixation chances are maximum. Every one must aim for fast and his presence in Pratikaman. Just try not to miss all lectures based on the "Antagarhasutra" during eight days of Paryusan.
It has magnetic power of motivation to take Diksha  detach listener self from domestic affairs .How a true follower of Bhgwan Mahaveer swami can miss his last lectures of "Uttaradhyanasutra " on day of Veernirvan- ?.Bhagwan has covered so many useful contents in it.
OK Friends wish you all the best to reduce maximum burden of negative deeds in this Chaturmas.Have maximum "Nirjara".

JAI MAHAVEER----------!!!--------- JAI JINENDRA----------!!!.
