JAINISM-----PARYUSHAN MAHAPARVA 2026 COMING---------!!!.

 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 that 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. In case you don't have that privilege try to read Hindi meaning of book.

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.  3.-Do not carry load of heated arguments with others, Offer to all known or unknown individuals "Khamat-Kamna".Add to forgive all for wrong doings towards you by others. It make your heart lighter.

Do not allow your brain to accumulate grudge against any one. One

may be under different state of mind when dealing with you.              4-Sawastari Pratikaman is a best way to get rid of yearly sins made by us. If unaware of procedure check nearby Jain sangh who arrange for common Pratikaman for all, If possible get engaged into Poshad or Daya at Stanak or Derasar. If you know it ask for Shrawak to join.

5.-Have a determination not to have vegetables in food and avoid the dinner after sunset. Devotees also provide tiffin services to working youngers who cannot take leave for eight days Mahaparva. Friends these are few minimum guidelines. If you are blessed to be with parents or elders they can guide you better. For whole 365 days we keep ourselves busy for running after wealth and relationships. Try to maximum of this short period of eight days for purification of our soul. Ultimately only pure soul can only be near to salvation.
