Paryushan 2026

Jain Society of North Texas is pleased to announce that this year's Paryushan Maha Parva will be held under the auspicious presence of well-known Jain Scholar, Sushravika Pujya Tarlaben Doshi. Tarlaben's unique approach of explaining complex Jain Tatva (Vitrag Vani) in an easy-to-understand manner, yet rooted in original Jain scriptures (Agam), has won many hearts around the world. She has deep knowledge of the Jain religion and has been visiting various Sanghs across multiple continents for Aradhana, including Paryushan. The JSNT community is very fortunate to have her during this year's celebration of Paryushan Maha Parva.

JSNT is hosting a wide array of activities to participate in and celebrate this Maha Parva. A detailed schedule for all days can be found below. We encourage everyone to take laabh of daily Pooja, Pratikraman, Swadhyay, along with Kalpasutra Vanchan by Pujya Tarlaben Doshi.

Kindly note that Mahavir Janma Vanchan/Swapna Darshan has been organized on Saturday, September 12th, the 5th day of Paryushan Parva.

With so many new members added in recent years, Registrations/RSVP are more important than ever before. They help us plan events properly and make them more accommodating for everyone.

Let us all join together to celebrate the most auspicious festival of Jainism – The Festival of Forgiveness!! Jai Jinendra!!
