    What is dasalakshana parva why we are following for only ten days

    12 months ago 145

    Dasalakshana Parva is the Digambara Jain festival that corresponds to Paryushan in the Śvetāmbara tradition. It is observed for ten days and centers on reflecting and practicing ten supreme virtues (Dash Lakshana). Each day is dedicated to one virtue, with discursive teaching by monks and intensified personal practice (fasting, prayer, pratikraman, svadhyaya, etc.). The festival typically begins the day after the Śvetāmbara Paryushan ends and runs through Anant Chaturdashi, with a day of forgiveness (Kshamavani) following in many communities. The ten virtues are: Kshama (forgiveness), Mardava (humility), Arjava (straightforwardness/honesty), Shaucha (purity/contentment), Satya (truth), Sanyam (self‑restraint), Tapa (austerity), Tyag (renunciation), Akinchanya (non‑attachment), Brahmacharya (celibacy).

    Important note on traditions:

    • Digambar Jains observe Das Lakshan Parva (ten days) as their Paryushan‑season observance.
    • Śvetāmbara Jains observe Paryushan as an eight‑day festival, ending with Samvatsari (the day of forgiveness). The two practices are parallel but differ in duration and some ritual emphases.
