Mumbai will be the site of an extensive spiritual event as Shrimad Rajchandra Mission Dharampur organises the Paryushan Mahaparva 2026. This gathering is set to take place at the Dome SVP Stadium in Worli from 8 to 15 September 2026. Participants will have the chance to pause and reflect during a week-long programme that includes a variety of spiritual activities, such as devotion, cultural expression, and insights into Jain spirituality, all under the guidance of Pujya Gurudevshri Rakeshji.

The Dome SVP Stadium will provide a venue for thousands of individuals seeking spiritual development. The event will conclude on 15 September with the Samvatsarik Aradhana, a day that focuses on themes of introspection, forgiveness, and spiritual purification. This significant day is dedicated to enhancing personal growth among participants.

Daily Schedule and Theme Exploration

The daily agenda will commence each morning with the Sacred Snatra Puja, scheduled from 8:00 to 8:45 AM, followed by a pravachan led by Pujya Gurudevshri from 8:45 to 10:00 AM. During the first seven days, these discourses will delve into the theme of ‘Liberation,’ based on the Natak Samaysaar, a work by Atmarasi Banarasidasji, allowing seekers to explore various facets of self-realisation.

In the evenings from 8:00 to 10:00 PM, the programme will highlight cultural presentations alongside further insights by Pujya Gurudevshri, particularly focusing on the ‘Remedy of All Misery,’ as discussed in the Shrimad Rajchandra Vachanamrut. The topics explored will address vital elements such as the tendencies of the self-realised, the significance of auspicious practices, and the contrasts between enlightened individuals and egoists.

This process of exploration seeks to guide participants on their journey toward liberation and inner peace by presenting both timeless Jain wisdom and contemporary interpretations.

Cultural Highlights and Special Events

The event will feature an array of cultural activities designed to celebrate Jain traditions and values. The Mangalmay Janmotsav will honour the birth of Bhagwan Mahavir, while a drama titled Raja Shrenik’s Supreme Devotion, performed by children from SRMD Divinetouch, will bring spiritual narratives to the forefront.

Additional highlights include Tithayara Mei Pasiyantu, which celebrates the essence of the Vitrag, and events like Sound Bath: Echoes of Purity, Global Youth Live: Ritual to Spiritual, as well as Gurave Namah, a meditative experience. Attendees will also enjoy an evening of Bhakti with renowned artist Shri Kumar Chatterjee, creating a rich tapestry of spiritual experiences.

The core of this occasion lies in the wisdom offered by Pujya Gurudevshri Rakeshji, a prominent spiritual leader in India, whose teachings encourage a deeper connection with self and encourage participants to transcend traditional rituals.

Significance of Samvatsari Day

The final day, observed on 15 September, will be dedicated to Samvatsarik Aradhana, providing attendees with the opportunity to reflect on their actions, seek forgiveness, and recommit themselves to their spiritual journeys. This observance underscores the importance of introspection and offers a platform for personal renewal.

Paryushan Mahaparva 2026 promises to be a unique gathering that melds ancient Jain philosophy with modern spiritual practices, aiming to foster a sense of community among seekers in Mumbai and farther afield.

Registration for the event is currently open via the Shrimad Rajchandra Mission Dharampur, facilitating participation in this spiritually enriching experience.
