Forgiveness Day’ in Jain Religion meant for the whole world : Satya Pal Jain

Satya Pal Jain, Ex-City MP and a member of the National Working Committee of the BJP has said that the ‘Samvatshari Parv’ (Forgiveness Day) visualized by the founders of Jain Religion is an interesting festival, on which day all Jains are supposed to analyse their working of the past year, realise their mistakes and seek forgiveness from the affected persons on this day. He said that this kind of forgiveness day is not only very unique but can also be very usefull for entire mankind for reducing tensions, conflicts and confrontations in the working of different Nations and individuals.

Sh. Jain was addressing a gathering of the Jain Community in Jain Sathanak, Sector 18, Chandigarh, today, in a function in connection with the ‘Samvatsari Parv’ celebrations.

Jain Sadhvi Geeta Kumari Ji Maharaj, Sadhvi Mukti Kumari Ji Maharaj and Sadhvi Gupti Kumari Ji Maharaj also addressed the gathering and explained the concept of ‘Samvatsari Parv’.

Sh. Jain said that the principles of ‘live and let live’, ‘co-existence of all living beings’, ‘restraint on one’s desires’, ‘not to have more than what you really require’, ‘mutual respect for each other’ and ‘respect for even your opponent’s point of view’ enunciated by Lord Mahavir are infact meant for the whole world and not only for the followers of any one religion or community. He said if the entire world follows these principles, many world problems can be solved and the world can usher into an era of world peace, rather than of wars.
