The Essence...

What is the essence of life??

Is it Reaching Greatest Heights??
Conquering Places and obtaining some Treasures?
Making a Fortune..
Or Living a Long Life...?

Jains have a different way.. They are born with an inbuilt attribute... Whether they do anything in their lives or not, They know One Way to get over bitter Memories and Wrong Doings...

Throughout the year, The most Auspicious Time is An Eight Year Festive and Holy Time... Spending Time in temples praying in the mornings... Attending Religious ceremonies in the afternoon.. Decorating temples and idols of Lords... Evenings in front of the Lord, Singing Bhajans in his Praise... Praying sessions, Fasts...

Different and interesting tasks keep them occupied all week. The eighth day is the day that is meant to ask for forgiveness... Truly Speaking, Forgiveness that should be asked for Immediately at the time of our wrong doing. But this is Universal Forgiveness...

From all the beings for all the hurt... With Folded hands and bowed heads, we ask for forgiveness and clear our hearts and the accounts of our sins...

Some sins can not be forgiven but Jains do not miss this day of Purification of Souls...

Why just Jains? I urge all People of all Religions and Castes to ask for forgiveness from all beings. Not for the happiness of others, But for Themselves, For their own peace and sanity...

Ask for forgiveness... Because the essence of life is not enjoyment or fun, its not long life or too many relations, its not looks or personality and its not even wealth or power... The essence of Life is Peace...

May God Bless All With Peace...
