Kshama-Vaani

Kshamavani Parva celebrates forgiveness as a way to a life of  love, friendship, peace and harmony. When you forgive, you stop feeling resentful; there is no more indignation or anger against another for a perceived offence, difference or mistake; there is no clamour for punishment. It means the end of violence. 
Lord  Mahavira said: "The one whom you hurt or kill is you. All souls are equal and similar and have the same nature and qualities". Ahimsa Paramo Dharma. Anger begets more anger and forgiveness and love beget more forgiveness and love. Forgiveness benefits both the forgiver and the forgiven. 
Jain seers advise: "It is my bad karmas yielding results now even though i have not caused harm to him. So i must perform penance. I am the doer of my karmas and the enjoyer of their results". It is the weak who give in to anger. The daily duties of all Jains include pratikramana and prayascitta. Every year, the month of Bhadra is considered holy and the last 18 days of the month are observed as either Paryusana or Das Laksan Parva. 
  On the last day, Kshamavani Divas, the resounding theme is:
   "Miccha me dukkadam" — "We ask forgiveness for any harm we may have caused you, by thought, word, or action, knowingly or unknowingly";
   "Khamemi savve jiva" — "I grant forgiveness to all living beings";
   "Savve jiva khamanatu me" — "May all living beings grant me forgiveness";
   "Metti me savve bhuyesu" — "My friendship is with all living beings" and
   "Vairam majham na kenai" — "My enemy is totally non-existent".
   In Buddhism, forgiveness is seen as a practice to prevent harmful emotions from causing havoc on one's mental well-being: "In contemplating the law of karma, we realise that it is not a matter of seeking revenge but of practising metta or loving kindness, mudita, upekkha and karuna to avoid generating resentment, and then seek forgiveness. If we haven't forgiven, we keep creating an identity around our pain, and that is what is reborn. That is what suffers".
   Jesus Christ, when being crucified prayed to God to forgive his tormentors as they "know not what they do". The concept of confession and seeking absolution, and ending prayers by seeking forgiveness and the Lord's blessings are applications of the principle of forgiveness.
   In Islam, Allah is described as "the most forgiving". Jews observe a Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur. Just prior to Yom Kippur, Jews will ask forgiveness of those they have wronged
during the year.
  Mahatma Gandhi forgave his assassin even as he was dying. His practice of non-violence and satyagraha is based on the principle of forgiveness.
  Those who forgive are happier and healthier than those who are resentful, say studies. Forgiveness is part of ahimsa; it helps us overcome anger and hatred.

Sometimes... Kabhi- Kabhi

Sometime I'm quiet
Sometimes I'm bold
Sometimes I feel young
Sometimes I feel old

Somtimes I do the opposite
Sometimes do what's told
Sometimes I buckle
But rarely do I ever fold

Somtimes I'm great
Somtimes I'm small
But lately I'm humble
If I'm anything at all

Sometimes I worry
Sometimes joke, jokes that are wry
Sometimes, often, I ask 'why? '
Sometimes I cry

Sometimes I wander
Sometimes I'm lost
Sometimes I feel the bitter lonliness
Of the cold winter frost

Sometimes I tremble
Sometimes I burn
Sometimes I stumble
Sometimes I yearn

Sometimes I dream
Sometimes I feel it's getting late
Sometimes I surmise
I must learn to rely on fate

Life.............

Life is every where
Life
Life is a challenge
Life is a gift

Life is a chance
Life is a tragedy
Life is lonely
Life is pain

Life is full of frustration
Life is a mystery
Life is love
Life is made of hurt

Life is not a bed of roses
Life is a dance for you to dance
Life is every state of mind
What is life?

Life is a puzzle, solve it
Life is full of unexpected
Life is unexplainable

Life.........

Its Paryushan Parv time....

Namokar Mahamantra

Namokâr Mantra (णमोकार मंत्र) is the fundamental mantra in Jainism and can be recited at any time of the day. While reciting this mantra, the devotee bows with respect to humans who have cleared their gathi karmas (Arihantas), fully liberated souls (Siddhas), spiritual leaders (Acharyas), teachers (Upadyayas) and all the monks. This is worship of the virtues of all the supreme spiritual people instead of just worshipping one particular person. The Namokâr Mantra does not mention specific names of Tirthankaras and Siddhas. Instead, at the time of recitation, a Jain remembers their virtues and tries to emulate them. In this mantra Jains bow down to these supreme spiritual personalities, and therefore, it is also called Namaskar (show of respect) Mantra.

LIVE & LET LIVE

This festival is celebrated by both Svetambara as wel1 as Digambara Jainas for eight to ten days during the monsoon season. This is a festival of self-discipline through fasting and other ascetic practices. Men, women and children as well as monks and nuns undertake fasts with varying strictness. While some observe fast on all the eight days, many fast on alternate days but all fast on the last day. During Paryusana, there are regular sermons and ceremonies in the temples. In Digambara temples, chapters from Tattvartha Sulfa, the Bible of the Jainas, and in Svetambara temple those from Kalpasutra are read out to the audience. On the last day, members of the community greet each other and ask forgiveness for any pain that might have been caused knowingly or unknowingly by any of their actions during the past year. Those members of the community who undertake complete fast during the festival days are taken to the temple in a procession on the last day after which they break the fast. The Jainas are special1y zealous during Paryusana to prevent any animal life being taken. Often jaina foundations pay money to close down slaughter houses to save animal life during the festival days.

During the festival days, the Svetambara Jainas drink boiled water at home and abstain from eating or drinking in a restaurant or in the houses of non-Jainas. After a bath and change of clothes people go to the temple. Those who do not fast come back home after worship for lunch and those who fast remain in the temple the whole day meditating or participating in the reading of scriptures or religious discourses. During Paryusana, the Svetambaras also take out a copy of Kalpasutra in procession. A young girl after worship in the temple carries the Kalpasutra in a large metal plate over her head in a procession. A man walks in front of the girl, sprinkling water from a pot on the street, symbolically cleaning the city. The scripture is brought to the house of a wealthy Jaina who makes a donation to a temple. There the holy book is installed on a high pedestal and worshipped the whole night to the accompaniment of devotional songs. The next day it is brought backto the temple in a procession. On the fifth day of the festival, a skylight is opened in the ceiling and silver replicas of the dream images seen by the mother of Mahavira are lowered on a string to the crowd gathered below. On the eighth day a copy of Barsasutra is presented to a monk or a nun who reads it out to the people with such rapidity that the whole text is finished in half an hour. The worshippers hold a page of the Surra in their ands for a few seconds and place it back, symbolizing the reading of the text themselves.
