» The person who eats on the auspicious day of Samvatsari may also be walking on the path of liberation. How?
Know AnswerX
A person who stays composed and does not let the feelings of hate bud in his heart, even for people who always wish and does bad to him are actually the ones who shed more karmas then one can by fasting. In other words, even fasting cannot be fully righteous if done without balanced thoughts and actions. Let’s here recall the famous example of Kurgadu Muni, who could not stay hungry and was therefore mocked and fooled by his superiors. They even went to the extent of spitting in his food. Kurgadu Muni however instead of despising them, accepted their spit as blessings and ate all of it. He instantly achieved salvation, whilst his superiors still churned in the infinite cycles of birth and death.

» When must we bow down in apology to all beings we have hurt knowingly or unknowingly?
Know AnswerX
Actually apology must be taken before any act. However if that may not be possible we must try to take it during morning and evening Pratikaman or at least once, annually, during the auspicious SamvatsariPratikaman. If the feelings of hatred stay in a person’s heart for more than a year, it can lead to indefinite hate relationship which shall go on for births together.

» What is our prime most duty during the eight auspicious days of Paryushan?
Know AnswerX
Our prime most duty during these auspicious days is to forgive any hatred that we may have for anybody and apologize for the fact that we may have knowingly or unknowingly hurt somebody. Only individuals with immense calm and composure can view all with eyes of compassion irrespective of their good or bad behaviour. Such a person will never feel hatred for anyone and will eventually move ahead towards the final goal of Moksha.
