Happy Samvatsari

Today is Samvatsari i.e. the last day of Paryushana —the eight day festival of Jainism.

Today a Jain person celebrates Kshamavani or "Forgiveness Day". It is a day of forgiving and seeking forgiveness for the followers of Jainism."Micchami Dukkadam" is the common phrase when asking for forgiveness. It means that May all the evil that has been done be fruitless.

"Khamemi Savve Jiva, Savve Jiva Ve Khamantu Me,

Mitti me Savva Bhooesu, Veram Majjham Na Kenavi,

Ev Ma Ye Aaloyam, Nidiyam Giriyam, Dugamcchiyam,

Savv Jive He Nam Padikanto, vandami Jeev Chowisam"

Lord Mahavira said we should forgive our own soul first. Anger begets more anger and forgiveness and love beget more forgiveness and love. Forgiveness benefits both the forgiver and the forgiven.

To make peace in life and world, it is necessary to forgive people and have harmony with them. It will give positive effect on your “Krunanu-Bandh”.

Travel India - Women Clothing

India has great variety in terms of climate, culture and ethnicity. This variety has big impact on clothing, especially on woman clothing. Most of Non-Indian people consider sari as woman general clothing but it’s not correct. We have variety of clothing. Even we have huge variety in draping a sari. Now a day, jeans and and other western clothing has become most popular in India among girls but still when you travel India please take few precaution. Even though India has variety of culture, most of them are conservative and believe in covering body very well. When you visit India try to dress in very much simple way. India has humid and hot weather. So many travelers prefer cloths which are short in length and without sleeves. So that they don’t feel much heat and body doesn’t get exhaust. I will not recommend such clothing. While traveling in India, according to climate and culture, wear cloths which cover most of your body part like pants till ankle and avoid sl...
