THE JAINS throughout the world celebrate a festival known as ‘Paryushan Parva’ which is organized every year in the auspicious month of ‘Bhadrapad’ of the Hindu calendar that extends from the fifth day to fourteenth day of the bright fortnight. The festival is for the observance of the universal virtues of forgiveness, contentment, and self -restraint, which aim at the uplift of the soul, are practiced during the festival.
Requesting forgiveness is a most essential part of the observance and people request one another for forgiveness for all offenses committed during the last year.
There are several great aphorisms (Sutras) to ask for forgiveness with the unity of the body, speech and mind, and one of them is as follows: Khämemi Savve Jivä, Savve Jivä Khamantu Mi / Mitti Me Savva bhuesu, Veram majjham na Kenai. Meaning: I forgive all the living beings of the universe, and may all the living-beings forgive me for my faults. I do not have any animosity towards anybody, and I have friendship for all living beings.
