Dear Friends,

Jai Jinendra and Greetings from the Arihanta Institute Team.

We are just a few days away from the start of Paryuṣaṇa, the most auspicious eighteen days of the year for Jains around the world – the first eight days are celebrated as Paryuṣaṇa by Śvetāmbara Jains and the last ten days as Daśalakṣaṇa by Digambara Jains. All Jains engage in some form of tapas, tyāga, dāna, and dhyāna – penance, renunciation, charity, and meditation – involving one or more forms of fasting, keeping silence, renunciation, meditation, scriptural and philosophical studies, introspection and repentance, and other spiritual activities.

Most Jain festivals aim to “celebrate” the happiness and peace of one’s soul through self-restraint, austerities, penance, and contemplation as well as listening to scholarly lectures and engaging in self-studies.

To facilitate such studies, we are pleased to offer a set of seven complimentary, self-paced courses. These courses help rejuvenate one’s spiritual fervor with learnings of compassion (karuṇā), friendship (maitrī), joy (pramoda), equanimity (madhyasthatā), and forgiveness (kṣāmāpana), which are all emphasized during the eighteen days of Paryuṣaṇa.

We encourage you to share this free course offering with your friends and family. There is no limit to the number of students that can participate. All enrollment information is included below.

We extend our best wishes for a spiritually joyous and fulfilling “celebration” during the upcoming Paryuṣaṇa and Daśalakṣaṇa festivals.

With kind regards,

In Celebration of Spiritual Rejuvenation
