    explain all the dashlakshan dharm days

    12 months ago 226

    Dashlakshan Dharma (the ten supreme virtues) are observed for ten days, each day dedicated to one virtue. Here are the ten days and their essence:

    • Day 1: Uttam Kshama Dharma — Supreme forgiveness. Let go of anger; cultivate calmness and peace.
    • Day 2: Uttam Mardav Dharma — Supreme humility. Abandon pride and treat all beings with gentleness.
    • Day 3: Uttam Aarjav Dharma — Supreme straightness/honesty. Speak and act plainly, without deceit.
    • Day 4: Uttam Shauch Dharma — Supreme purity/contentment. Be content with what you have; avoid greed.
    • Day 5: Uttam Satya Dharma — Supreme truth. Speak the truth with kindness; avoid falsehood.
    • Day 6: Uttam Samyam Dharma — Supreme self-control. Restrain mind, speech, and body; practice restraint.
    • Day 7: Uttam Tapa Dharma — Supreme austerity. Observe penance and disciplined living to purify the soul.
    • Day 8: Uttam Tyag Dharma — Supreme renunciation/non-possessiveness and charitable conduct. Let go of attachment and give where possible.
    • Day 9: Uttam Akinchanya Dharma — Supreme non-attachment. Detach from worldly desires and possessions.
    • Day 10: Uttam Brahmacharya Dharma — Supreme celibacy. Guard fidelity and control desires relating to sexuality.

    Notes:

    • In Digambar practice, these ten virtues are celebrated as part of the Dash Lakshan Parva, typically following the Digambar Paryushan. The days are often guided by discourses on these virtues and conclude with Kshamavani (forgiveness) and related observances. Exact dates vary each year. For Digambar communities, the focus is specifically on the ten virtues, with daily reflections and communal confession. For planning, consult your sangh calendar for the current year.

    • In Shvetambar calendars, Paryushan is a separate eight-day cycle in many regions, and Dashlakshan Parva is observed with its own set of practices in some communities. The overall spiritual aim remains the same: purify the soul by reflecting on and practicing these virtues.
