  • Kshamapan – Michammi Dukkadam – The Festival Of Forgiveness

    Kshamapan – Michammi Dukkadam – The Festival Of Forgiveness

    Forgiveness is the supreme act of courage!

    It is an act of faith and humility. It releases both the parties to move on and build a new tomorrow.However, it is very difficult to execute. Equally difficult is forgiving oneself!

    However, we need to start somewhere!

    And nothing better than the holy day of Samvastari – the last day of Paryushan – the biggest Jain Festival. On this day, all Jains ask for forgiveness by saying – Michammi Dukkadam.

    Dear Friend

    I ask for forgiveness, if I may have hurt you, intentionally or unintentionally, by Thoughts, Words or Action.

    Micchami Dukkadam !

  • Micchami Dukkadam – Seeking Forgiveness

     

    Today is the last day of the holy Jain Festival – Paryushan. All Jains seek forgiveness today and the day is marked by worship and fasting across the world.

    All Jains seek forgiveness through sharing cards and expressing ‘Micchami Dukkadam’. The following is one such example:

     

    મિચ્છામી દુક્કડ્મ

     

    खामेमी सव्वे जीवा, 

    सव्वे जीवा खमंतु मे,  

    मित्ती मे सव्वे – भूएसु, 

    वेरं मज्झ न केणई l

     

     

    સર્વે જીવોને હું ખમાવું  છું.
    બધા જીવો મને ક્ષમા આપો..
    આ જગતમાં  રહેલા  સર્વ જીવો સાથે મારે મૈત્રી છે.
    કોઈની  સાથે મારે વેર નથી..

     

    On this auspicious occasion, after the Paryushan and Samvatsari Pratikraman, 

    we wish you all Micchami Dukkadam!  

     

    We ask forgiveness for any harm we may have caused you, 

    by thoughts, words or actions, knowingly or unknowingly.

     

    Micchami Dukkadam
