Paryushan Parv 2019

Paryushan Parv

Date: 27^th Aug. 2019

Jainism, traditionally known as Jain Dharma, is one of the most ancient religions of India. It is all about the elevation of your soul, and among Jains, the eight-day Parv of Paryushan is an opportunity for them to think about who they are, and what their true identity is.

Paryushan is all about a conscious effort to awaken the soul and not just a ritualistic effort of abstaining from food. As an institute where all religions are given equal importance and are celebrated with the same enthusiasm, Paryushan is an altogether different experience and feeling.

The holy festival was celebrated at IBA campus in the presence of all students, faculty members and staff. The program was started by offering prayers to lord “Mahaveer” followed by the most powerful, and significant mantra “Namokar mantra” followed by its explanation by one of the students.
