25/08/2025 today is special day?
For 25 August 2025 (Monday):
- Shwetambar tradition: This day falls during Paryushan (day 5 for most communities). Many Shwetambar sanghs observe Mahavir Janma Vanchan/Swapna Darshan on the 5th day, with Kalpa Sutra readings and remembrance of Mata Trishalā’s fourteen auspicious dreams.
- Digambar tradition: Das Lakshan Parva (their Paryushan) generally starts after Shwetambar Samvatsari, so 25 August is usually before the start of Das Lakshan.
Notes:
- Exact observance can vary by local Jain panchang and your sangh’s schedule. Please confirm locally.
- Essence of the day: deepen vrata, swādhyāy (scripture study), pratikraman, and kshamā (forgiveness).
