Today marks the beginning of the biggest Jain festival of the year. Paryushan Mahaparva is an eight to 10 day period of self-reflection and repentance for the actions of the past year. The Jain festival is about reflecting on one’s thoughts, words and actions and asking for forgiveness for acts that have harmed other beings.
We wish all our Jain friends a blessed and reflective Paryushan in the days ahead.
