The nine-day long Shri Siddhachakra Navpad Oliji Tapa Aradhana, held at the local Shri Rishabhdev 52 Jinalaya Upashraya in Jhabua, concluded with the Parna of all the ascetics on Wednesday.

The beneficiary Kataria family honored all the ascetics. On this occasion, the Shri Sangh honored beneficiaries Prakash Chandra, Purvesh, Piyush Kataria, and their families by presenting them with shawls, coconuts, and congratulatory letters. The beneficiary Kataria family also organized a Sadharmi Vatsalya (friendship) event for the Sakal Shwetambar Shri Sangh.

Under the holy inspiration and good wishes of the most revered Sadhvi Shri Ratnarekha Shri Maharaj Saheb of Adi Thana 3 and Mahasati Pujya Shri Pragya Ji Maharaj Saheb of Adi Thana 5, the nine-day Shri Navpad Oli Ji, which began on September 29th, concluded with the Parna of the ascetics. On this occasion, the Parna of all the ascetics was performed from 8 am. Along with the Parna, all the ascetics were honored by the beneficiary families.

Through penance, a person destroys his accumulated karmas and becomes eligible for the happiness of salvation.

A religious gathering was held at 9:30 am. The revered Sadhvi Ji Bhagwant said that by worshipping the right knowledge, philosophy, character, and by practicing excellent penance with correct understanding, a person destroys his previously accumulated karmas and attains the unshakable happiness of salvation. Like Shripal Raja, the ascetic of Navpad attains happiness in both this world and the next.

Mahasati Pujya Shri Pragyaji Maharaj Saheb said that we engage in sinful acts as soon as we wake up. If we want to cross this ocean of existence, we must lead a righteous life. We must also learn the art of getting up and going to sleep. To destroy our karmas, we must chant the 8 Namaskar Mahamantras upon waking up in the morning and the 7 Namaskar Mahamantras before going to sleep.

Over 21 lakh Navpadas chanted

In the 9-day worship, over 100 ascetics chanted the nine padas of Arihant, Siddha, Acharya Upadhyay Sadhu, Darshan, Gyan, Charitra, and Tapas, each day, respectively, and over 21 lakh chants were performed with the spirit of karma destruction, self-purification, and world welfare.

Penance was approved.
