Jai Jinendra,

Neeche “Kṣamāpanā Parv” (Samvatsari/Kshamavani) ke liye 3 ready speeches diye hain—very simple language, suitable for school, society, or temple. Aap seedha padh sakte hain.

1) Very short speech (1–2 minutes, Hindi)

• Adarniya sabha, aaj hum Kṣamāpanā Parv par ek saath jude hain. Jain dharma sikhata hai: ahimsa, vinay, aur kshamā. Saal bhar mein humse vaani, man aur kaaya se jaane‑anjaane kisi ka dil dukh gaya ho to aaj hum nimit le kar kshamā maangte hain.
• Shwetambar paramparā mein is din ko Samvatsari kehte hain, aur Digambar paramparā mein Kshamavani—Das Lakshan ke pavitra parv ka antim avsar. Dono ka saar ek hi hai: sabse kshamā maangna aur sabko kshamā dena.
• Pracheen prarthana:

“Khamemi savve jivā; savve jivā khamantu me. Mitti me savva bhūesu; veram majjha na kenai.” Arth: “Main sab jeevon ko kshamā karta hoon; sab jeev mujhe kshamā karen. Mera sab se maitri bhaav ho; kisi se mera vair na rahe.”

• Is pavitra din par hum apni galtiyon ka pratikraman karte hue sankalp lein: kam krodh, kam lobh, zyada daya, zyada satya.
• Ant mein, dil se kehna chahunga: “Micchāmi Dukkaḍaṃ.” Dhanyavaad.

2) Standard speech (3–4 minutes, Hindi)

• Jai Jinendra. Kṣamāpanā ka arth keval “Sorry” bolna nahi, balki apne andar ki kadvaahat, ahankar, aur rosh ko chhod kar atma ki shuddhi karna hai. Jain darshan ke mutabik krodh, mān, māyā, lobh—ye chaar kaashāyen bandhan badhati hain. Kshamā in sab ka upashaman karti hai.
• Paryushan/Das‑Lakshan ka mool uddeshya hai: svapariksha, pratikraman aur kshamā. Shwetambar paramparā mein aaj Samvatsari Pratikraman hota hai; Digambar paramparā mein Das Lakshan ke das gunon ka chintan hota hai—pehla hi guna “Uttam Kshamā.”
• Aaj hum sab apne rishton ko saaf karne ka sankalp lein:

1) Soch mein ahimsa: dusron ke liye shubh bhaav. 2) Vaani mein satya: namrata aur spashtata. 3) Aacharan mein sanyam: kam se kam himsa, kam apeksha.

• Paramparik vachan: “Micchāmi Dukkaḍaṃ”—yani “jo bura hua ho, vah mithya/akarmak ho jaye.” Iske saath hi, “Khamemi savve jiva…” ka abhyas karein, taaki maitri bhaav sab tak pahunche.
• Aaj se hum teeno star par sudhaar ka sankalp lein:

- Man: rojana kuchh samay dhyaan, svādhyāy aur pratikraman. - Vaani: pehle soch, phir bol. Katu shabd tyag. - Kaya: jiv‑daya, sanyam, aur aparigraha.

• Ant mein, main aapse, aap sabhi se—jaane‑anjaane huin sabh galtiyon ke liye—kshamā yachna karta/karati hoon. “Micchāmi Dukkaḍaṃ.”

3) Short English speech (2–3 minutes)

• Jai Jinendra. Today is the sacred day of forgiveness—Kshamapana. In Jain Dharma, forgiveness is not weakness; it is inner strength. It dissolves anger, pride, deceit, and greed, and cleanses the soul.
• In the Shvetambar tradition, this day is Samvatsari; in the Digambar tradition, it is Kshamavani—the conclusion of Das‑Lakshan, where the very first virtue is Uttam Kshama, Supreme Forgiveness. The essence is the same: ask forgiveness from all and forgive all.
• We recite:

“Khamemi savve jiva; savve jiva khamantu me. Mitti me savva bhuesu; veram majjha na kenai.” Meaning: “I forgive all beings; may all beings forgive me. I am friendly with all; I harbor enmity toward none.”

• Let us take three simple vows:

1) Think gently, speak truthfully, act non‑violently. 2) Do daily pratikraman—accept, confess, and correct. 3) Keep friendship with all and malice toward none.

• From my side to all of you—if I have hurt you by thought, word, or deed, knowingly or unknowingly—Micchami Dukkadam. Thank you.
