On occasion of Gyan Panchami, we are arranging Darshan, Pooja and Vandana for Gyan. Everyone is invited to take Labh for the Gyan Pooja.
The festival of Gyan Panchami is celebrated on the fifth day of Deepawali. It is also known as ‘Laabh Panchami’ or ‘Saubhaagya Panchami’.
Gyan meaning knowledge is regarded as the light of the inner soul. Gyan helps in realizing the difference between truth and false.
Gyan Panchami is the day of worship of pure knowledge. On this day, followers of Jain religion express their affection and respect for ancient scriptures. The scriptures are worshiped. Knowledge is invaluable for everyone. It is a form of wealth that expands on distribution. Knowledge always illuminates the path of life.
