પર્યુષણ મહાપર્વ અને ઘી બોલી - Paryushan Mahaparv and Fundraising

Jai Bhagwan Everyone,
પરમકૃપાળુ દેવ લખે છે કે “શ્રી ઋષભદેવથી શ્રી મહાવીર પર્યંત વર્તમાન ભરતક્ષેત્રના ચોવીશ તીર્થંકરોના પરમ ઉપકારને વારંવાર સંભારું છું.”
પરમકૃપાળુ દેવ is frequently remembering the greatest favor done by the 24 Tirthankars in current Bharat starting from શ્રી ઋષભદેવ to શ્રી મહાવીર Bhagwan.
What greatest favor પરમકૃપાળુ દેવ is writing about? પરમકૃપાળુ દેવ is writing about these 24 Tirthankars re-instating the Mokshmarg every time it disappeared. Tirthankars did so out of compassion to end our eternal Sansari sufferings without expecting anything in return.
It has been more than 2,500 years since Bhagwan શ્રી મહાવીર re-instated the Marg but it has started disappearing. That is why પરમકૃપાળુ દેવ લખે છે કે “વર્તમાન આ કાળમાં, મોક્ષમાર્ગ બહુ લોપ.”
But we are among the small number of the fortunate ones who have the Marg today. We must never minimize Marg’s value. This is the time to remember and pay tribute to શ્રી મહાવીર Bhagwan’s utmost compassion:
On this Paryushan, I very politely seek forgiveness from all of whom I may have knowingly or unknowingly offended by disrespect, disregard or any other way out of ignorance.
Ghee Boli (Fundraising)
Paryushan is the time when Jain Centers around the world raise funds to sustain their activities. It is Mumukshus’ duty to regularly contribute at least 1% of their after-tax income to sustain Ashram’s activities. One can certainly contribute more if affordable.
Please connect with your local contact to contribute and pass on this message to your Mumukshu family members, relatives and friends who are not part of the Satsang Group.
Thank you and again seeking forgiveness from everyone.
Good Luck,
Aej Vinanti,
Sant Charan Sevak,
