Day of forgiveness, a day many of you are unaware of which is celebrated in India




India is a country which consists of different Religions. These religions follow their own beliefs and practices. I am going to talk about one of these practices followed by Jains which many of you must be unaware of.



Kshamavaani Day or kshama Divas is a day of forgiving and seeking forgiveness. On this day Jains start a new life by forgetting and forgiving everyone of their intentional or unintentional sins. This day is celebrated every year to make the world a better place to live in. This festival is a symbol of growth of spirituality and purity. On this festival a Jains ask for forgiveness and approaches everyone irrespective of their religion.

We can simply understand the mean of “Kshamavaani divas” by this :-
Kshama – mean forgive and, Divas – mean day.

Many people of this community go for prayers in Jain temples. The Jain community may approaches their neighbor, friends, family members, relatives etc for a peaceful co-existence with everyone. This is one of the day when people take all the responsibility of any sorrow, pain, or anguish caused to by their own.

As a human we should all irrespective of our religion learn good practices from all the religions and make us a better human being. This will not just make us positive but it will make this world a peaceful and happy place.
