    What is the meaning of 10 days of dashlakhasan

    12 months ago 107

    Das Lakshan Parva (Dash Lakshan) is a Digambara Jain ten-day festival that follows Paryushan and focuses on ten supreme virtues of the soul. Each day is dedicated to one virtue, guiding practitioners to purify the mind and conduct.

    The ten supreme virtues (Dash Lakshan) are: 1) Uttam Kshama — Supreme Forgiveness 2) Uttam Mardava — Supreme Humility 3) Uttam Arjava — Supreme Straightforwardness (Honesty) 4) Uttam Shauch — Supreme Purity/Contentment 5) Uttam Satya — Supreme Truthfulness 6) Uttam Sanyam — Supreme Self-restraint 7) Uttam Tap — Supreme Austerity 8) Uttam Tyag — Supreme Renunciation 9) Uttam Akinchanya — Supreme Non-possessiveness 10) Uttam Brahmacharya — Supreme Celibacy

    Notes:

    • In Digambar tradition, these ten are observed as the Dash Lakshan Parva, a distinct 10-day festival.
    • In Shwetambar tradition, the related period is Paryushan (often observed for eight days), with emphasis on similar virtues, but the explicit “Das Lakshan” framing is associated with Digambar practice.
