Paryushan Message
Paryushan is a sacred period for spiritual upliftment and self-purification in Jainism. During these auspicious days, let us strive to:
- Observe Ahimsa (Non-violence): Be mindful of our thoughts, words, and actions. Avoid causing harm to any living being.
- Practice Forgiveness (Kshamapana): Let go of grudges and ask for forgiveness from all beings for any harm caused knowingly or unknowingly.
- Engage in Pratikraman: Perform daily introspection, repentance, and seek to correct our mistakes.
- Fast and Practice Self-discipline: Observe fasting (upvas), eat simple food, and control desires to purify the mind and body.
- Increase Scriptural Study (Swadhyaya): Read and reflect upon Jain scriptures to enhance knowledge and faith.
- Participate in Pujas and Rituals: Attend temple rituals, Samayik (meditation), and other devotional activities.
- Charity and Compassion: Help the needy and show kindness to all beings.
- Limit Possessions and Desires: Practice aparigraha (non-possessiveness) and contentment.
- Cultivate Humility: Be humble and grateful, and respect all spiritual aspirants.
- Promote Peace and Harmony: Foster unity and goodwill in the community.
Let us make the most of Paryushan by sincerely following the path shown by the Tirthankaras and seeking forgiveness from all living beings:
"Michhami Dukkadam" (I seek forgiveness for any hurt caused by my thoughts, words, or deeds.)
