In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: Shodhganga: A cultural study on the jain western Indian illustrated manuscriptsParyuṣaṇā (पर्युषणा).—Paryuṣaṇā is the foremost religious festival of all Jain yearly festivals. Its prominent position derives from the fact that it corresponds to a point of temporal juncture in the year, which marks the end of the rainy season. Its last day, sāṃvatsari, marks the beginning of a new year. Its importance is attested by the large variety of literary forms that are associated with it. It is the only Jain parva that is directly associated with a canonical text, namely the kalpasūtra.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.
