Parshwanath Janma Kalyanak

• Parshwanath, Jain dharma ke 23rd Tirthankar hain. Unka janm ya birth anniversary ko Parshwanath Janma Kalyanak ya Parshva Jayanti ke roop me manaya jata hai.
• Is din Jains prarthana, stuti, aur seva-bhog (ahimsa, tapas, dharma ki baatein) ke kirtan karte hain. Parshwanath ki jeevan ki kahani se ahimsa (anokhi krurata ke bina) ki mahima seekhi jati hai.
• Digambar aur Shwetambar traditions ke beech kuch arth ya tirthon ki sammanit tithiyon me chhoti-moti badlav ho sakta hai, lekin mool sandesh: tapas, vairagya, aur jiv ki suraksha ke liye dharma ki aavashyakta ko zor dena hi hota hai.
• Yadi aap ko Parshwanath ke janm ki exact tithi (calendar date) chahiye, to wo alag-alag samay par alag parampaar ke anusar aati hai. Aksar iss din ki ritiyon me kakshik katha, bhakti, aur vandan shamil hote hain.

Agar aap chahein, to main Parshwanath ke jeevan ke mukhya ghatnaon ki simple kahani (arth) ko Digambar aur Shwetambar ke vibhinn arth ke saath saaf-safai se samjha sakta hoon.
