Bhagwan Mahavir Janmotsav
Eight Days of Inner Cleansing
Parvadhiraj Paryushan Mahaparva
The most significant festival in Jainism, Parvadhiraj Paryushan Mahaparva is an 8-day festival of forgiveness and inner cleansing. Spending these sacred days in Param Gurudev's presence is a unique experience that removes every thorn of guilt from the heart, awakens a positive spirit of forgiveness, heals past wounds, and lightens one from within.
A beautiful amalgamation of wisdom and culture, meditation and devotion, these eight days are eagerly awaited by seekers worldwide. Each day unfolds through pravachans, bhakti, sadhana, and collective reflection — culminating in Samvatsari, the day of universal forgiveness.
