    Forgiveness Day – Michammi Dukkadam

    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.


    To all my friends and contacts, I ask for forgiveness, if I may have hurt you, intentionally or unintentionally, by Thoughts, Words or Action.

    Michammi Dukkadam

    Forgiveness is the mental, emotional and/or spiritual process of ceasing to feel resentment, indignation or anger against another person for a perceived offense, difference or mistake, or ceasing to demand punishment or restitution

    I say, from the bottom of my heart, without any reservation, I forgive all living beings who may have caused me any pain and suffering either in this life or previous lives, and I beg for the forgiveness from all living beings, no matter how small or big to whom I may have caused pain and suffering in this life or previous lives, knowingly or unknowingly.
