A useful overview of Ayambil has been provided to us by Kishor B. Shah. You can click on the images below to view a larger view of this. You can also download the complete overview that contains detailed information for each of the days as a single PDF from here.
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 Sunday, 22nd October
VENUE: Ayambil as always will be taking place at Oshwal Centre each day. There will be vanchan from 11am and thereafter bhojan.
This is an invaluable opportunity to rejuvenate our soul. Please do join in-person at Oshwal Centre and participate in the worship everyday with your family and loved ones.
