Das Lakshan Mahaparva Updates

Jai Jinendra

We hope that the spirituality of each one of you is at its peak as we celebrate Das Lakshan Parv in a remote and virtual environment. But isn’t this such a great time to truly reflect within ourself and celebrate each of the 10 Dharmas that have resided with the Dhruv Aatma (Soul) since ever?

In the last few days of the Parv, we started the Parv with beautiful daily Solah Karan Vidhan and daily Bhakti and Aarati starting at 6:30 PM. Please join in Bhakti.

Yogesh Meena (from Khandwa, India) has been performing live everyday starting 4:00 AM IST. A wonderful hour full of Bhakti Ras.

What is amazing about this year that multiple Jain Centers from Boston all the way to Atlanta are performing Aarati at the same time along with Aaratis performed at individual households.

Following Aarati, Mahesh Ji Punditji’s Pravachan starts sharp at 7:30 PM and so far we have learnt the importance of understanding the Karma theory.

There are other daily activities including live telecast of Abhishek and Pujan from Jain Center of America, pravachans by Muni Shri Praman Sagarji and Pathshala classes.


Please join Zoom for the above activities:
