हे देव तारा दिलमां छे, वास्तल्यानां झरना भर्या ।
हे नाथ तारा नयनमां करुणतांणा अमृत भर्या ।
वीतराग तारी मीठी मीठी वाणिमां जादु भर्या ।
तथी ज तारा चरणमां, बालक बनी आवी रह्या ।।

✨️Nutan varsh 2082 abhinandan✨️

As children's of Lord Mahavir, lets pledge a beautiful intention for the new year! By striving for self-cleansing of our minds and hearts, we can:

- Let go of negativity and impurities
- Cultivate compassion, kindness, and wisdom
- Embody the principles of ahimsa (non-violence), aparigraha (non-attachment),
- Move closer to achieving spiritual growth and liberation

May this new year bring us greater self-awareness, peace, and harmony. May we walk the path of righteousness and strive to become better versions of ourselves.

Jai Jinendra! Jin Shashan Noh Jai Jai Kar 🙏

2025 Paryushan Parv

As we conclude the sacred Paryushan Parv, we bow to the divine energies that guided us throughout this auspicious period.

We express our heartfelt gratitude to our Pujari Shri. Karan Bariya and his wife Smt. Chayya Bariya for their selfless dedication and spiritual leadership. Their tireless efforts in conceptualizing and executing the 8-day Aangi ritual have been a source of inspiration to us all present.

We also extend our deepest appreciation to all the visiting devotees who graced our temple with their presence and all the online virtual devotees who have been sending their respects and comments infusing the atmosphere with devotion.

To our generous donors, we offer our sincerest gratitude for your contributions, which have enabled us to create a sacred and dignified environment for our rituals.

May the blessings of the Tirthankaras be upon all.

🙏2025 Paryushan Parv Zanzibar Temple🙏

The 8th and final day of Paryushan parv, holds immense spiritual significance for Jains.

It's a day to purify the soul, reduce negative karma, and promote peacefulness, forgiveness, and self-restraint.
- *Fasting*: Many Jains observe fasts, with some fasting for the entire day or even for several days.
- *Pratikraman*: Devotees reflect on their past actions, seeking forgiveness from others and the divine for any harm caused.
- *Seeking Forgiveness*: Jains say "Michhami Dukkadam" or "Uttam Kshama" to seek forgiveness from others and grant forgiveness in return.
- *Confession of Sins*: Jains confess their sins and wrongdoings, reflecting on their moral shortcomings.
