Shaswati Navpad Oli  / Ayambil
April 8 through April 16
Jain Center
 
Today is the first day of Navpad Oli and it is one of the most important Parva / religious festival of the Jain community. The word 'Navpad' means nine supreme posts of the universe - Arihant, Siddha, Acharya, Upadhyay, Sadhu, Darshan (right belief), Jnan (right knowledge), Charitra (right action) and Tapa (right austerity) 

Jain literature (Kalpasutra) indicates that Navpad Oli is Shaswati, meaning permenant. Navpad Oli festival exists in all time cycles (past, present, and future). This provides significant importance to the Navpad Oli. 

We should try to do Ayambil during these auspicious days.
