Chaturmas is not merely a festival of penance and spiritual practices; it is a sacred opportunity to embrace self-transformation, non-violence, compassion, and Jivdaya in everyday life.
Chaturmas Pravesh Mahotsav of the revered Guru Bhagwants will be held in Delhi on 12th July, filling the entire atmosphere with Dharma, self-discipline, Jain scriptures (Jinvani), and spiritual values.
The “Jivdaya Year” campaign will commence with Chaturmas, featuring year-long service initiatives and special programs dedicated to the protection and welfare of all living beings.
Under the aegis of the Delhi Gujarati Shwetambar Murtipujak Jain Sangh, four-month series of religious discourses, Bhaktamar Tap, scriptural study, Sanskar camps, devotional activities, and various spiritual programs will be organized.
With the commencement of Chaturmas, the ‘Jeevdaya Year’ campaign will also be launched. Throughout the year, a series of initiatives dedicated to compassion for all living beings will be undertaken, including animal welfare, cow protection and care, Abhaydaan (granting protection to living beings), bird and wildlife conservation, veterinary assistance, environmental protection, tree plantation, and various public awareness and community service programs. The campaign aims to develop Delhi as a “City of Compassion (Jeevdaya Nagari)” while strengthening the values of compassion, non-violence, and universal friendship towards all living beings.
