"Paryusan" The Jain Festive Poem by Mehta Hasmukh Amathaal

"Paryusan" the Jain festive
Monday,26th August 2019

Jain religion has been strictly followed
and has not allowed any kind of violence
either in approach
or in thinking as such

They are observing "paryusan"*
the festival of eight days from today onwards
with the total observation
and praying for the salvation

many be fasting for 8 days,15 days or even for a month
even if to face the problem of an easy breath
you may find their real stamina
and glow on the face

You are observing all the day religious rituals
Offeringprayers with full concentration
Takingonly boiled water for the day before sunset
and no water at all in the night

they take care not to harm the small insect
bring in holy approach in daily acts
hurt no one by harsh words
and wish for happiness to the Lord

"let and let live others"
Keep no fears and fear no one
Dream for world peace
And allow others to live at ana ease

Hasmukh Mehta
