The fast of Ayambil is observed to attain spiritual upliftment through the achievement of victory over the control of TASTE and not FOOD to shed karmic bondage. During this fast vigai tyaag ( refraining ) is observed, as it’s believed these foods change the natural tendencies of body, mind and soul and pervert them. They arouse the 4 passions, namely anger, pride, deceit and greed. Let us all immerse ourselves with devotion for the spiritual upliftment during these 9 days of Shri Aaso Maas Ayambil.

The nine Pads are – Arihant, Siddha, Acharya, Upadhyaya, Sadhu, Samyak Darshan, Samyak Gyan, Samyak Charitra and Samyak Tap. Navpad are also found in the Navkar Mantra. Navpad is also called Siddha Chakra.

Pujya Shri Jayeshbhai Shah will give a discourse on Shri Navpad No Mahima Apaar every day during Shri Navpad Ayambil Oli.

Shri Navpad Puja will be performed on Saturday, 12th October
