Celebrating Paryushan with pravachans and snatra puja
The most significant festival for Jains, Paryushan represents an opportunity for seekers to accelerate their spiritual progress. It is a chance to ask for forgiveness for ones fault and thereby attain purity.
Celebrating such a holy festival in the charismatic presence of Pujyashri Gurudev, is truly an honour and an opportunity to be cherished. Since 1992, Pujyashri Gurudev has been blessing devotees with His auspicious presence during the Paryushan Parva. Every year, He selects a specific spiritual topic and reveals its hidden treasures over the span of eight days, transporting His listeners into a world of spirituality, creating such a vibrant environment engulfed in Divinity, throbbing with devotion and pulsating with enthusiasm that it has to be experienced to be believed. The words of each pravachan echo within.
Each day is packed with celebrations. The pravachans are preceded in the mornings by the magnificent celebration of snatra puja and in the evenings by soul-stirring bhakti. The grand celebration of Bhagwan Mahavira's birth, and the samvatsarik alochna take one to a 'devotional high'.
All these programmes are webcast throughout the world within the hour of the programme so that devotees can transcend geographical barriers and participate in the Paryushan celebrations.
A number of seekers, a majority of which are the youth also joyously undertake anywhere from eight to thirty-day fasts. Absorbing themselves in divine connection gives even young devotees the enthusiasm to fast religiously. A grand parna is organised on the day following samvatsari, where they end their fast and inspire others to walk in their footsteps.
It is truly the result of Pujyashri Gurudev's simple yet profound, enthralling, captivating and elevating pravachans that Paryushan is no longer merely ritualistic or tedious. In fact, the Paryushan Parva has become something to look forward to, with eight continuous days spent in the presence of the Divine.

Pujyashri Gurudev has restored the lost glory of Paryushan Parva. There was a time when people counted the days till its completion, but now, one waits for its commencement and wishes that it never ends. This is the miracle of the Divine Master.
