Acharya Lokesh has also told Religion World that, as strategic partners, we need to be resolute enough to punish global miscreants spreading terrorism. he said that the Samvatsari Mahaparva has very special importance in Jainism. It is the heart of this great festival to make atonement for all the mistakes you have made in your life throughout the year and ask for forgiveness by becoming very simple, clean, and pure, and forgiving others for your rude behavior towards others. Lord Mahavira said, ‘Forgiveness is the ornament of heroes’ – Only great people can take forgiveness and give it.
