Purpose of Paryushan Parva

    Paryushan Parva is a spiritual-oriented festival and not a material-oriented one. It is an opportunity to fulfilling oneself with higher spiritual feelings to create global peace and harmony. The very idea of this festival is that if in any part of our life we feel a lack of any quality this is the good time to re-cultivate that quality in our life. We can say this is the time to shape our life in the direction of peace and harmony besides comfortable and fulfilling relationships. The required changing area of your life may be such as…

Farewell to hostility, welcome to forgiveness

Farewell to unkindness, welcome to compassion

Farewell to ego, welcome to appreciation

Farewell to greediness, welcome to out flowing

The real purpose of Paryushan is to purify our soul by staying closer to our own soul, to look at our own faults, to ask for forgiveness for the mistakes we have committed knowingly or unknowingly, and apply vows to destroy karmas. The main cause of all sorrows and sufferings is impurity of soul. In this period each and every individual tries to purify his soul through different spiritual practices. We try to forget about the needs of our body and our business so that we can concentrate on our-self.  Some main objectives to celebrating this festival are.

To discipline passions

To control senses

To take a lot at mistakes done in the past

To make auspicious will for the bright future

To switch from a negative to a positive way of life.
