    how many vaarsik kartavkya in paryushan and which ones

    an hour ago 5

    Answer

    In Jain tradition, there are 5 Vārṣik Kartavya — yearly duties especially emphasized during Paryushan / Das Lakshan Parva.

    They are:

    • Amāri Pravartan – promoting non-violence and compassion toward all living beings
    • Sādharmik Bhakti – devotion, respect, and service toward fellow Jains
    • Kṣamāpanā – asking forgiveness and forgiving others
    • Attham Tap – performing austerity, traditionally a three-day fast
    • Chaitya Paripāṭī – visiting and worshipping at Jain temples

    Explanation

    These five duties are called Vārṣik Kartavya because a Jain should especially make effort to perform them at least once every year, with devotion and right understanding.

    During Paryushan, they help strengthen:

    • Ahimsa through Amāri Pravartan
    • Unity and respect through Sādharmik Bhakti
    • Purification of relationships through Kṣamāpanā
    • Self-discipline through Attham Tap
    • Devotion through Chaitya Paripāṭī

    Spiritual Understanding

    The purpose of these Kartavyas is not just ritual performance. They guide a person toward inner purification, forgiveness, compassion, humility, and detachment — the true spirit of Paryushan.

    Takeaway

    There are 5 Vārṣik Kartavya in Paryushan: Amāri Pravartan, Sādharmik Bhakti, Kṣamāpanā, Attham Tap, and Chaitya Paripāṭī.
