Pratikraman in English

Jai Jinendra,

Paryushan is one of the most important festivals in the Jain calendar – a time for reflection, introspection and indeed a celebration of the Self. A great opportunity to take time out from the current hectic world we live in and focus on forgiveness, discipline and self awareness to enhance our spiritual journey.

SCVP London (part of Veerayatan UK) is pleased to inform you that this year again during Paryushan, we have organised Pratikraman in English for all 8 days and will be conducting it in person at Avanti House School in Stanmore. The sutras will be recited in English as well as the original language and with appropriate explanations with the primary objective being to unlock our compassion and positivity.

We are working in collaboration with Oshwal Association of the UK. The dates and timings are in the enclosed poster.
