| | Contemplation of the soul - a key to Paryushan Parv and Das Lakshan. It is a time to reflect and involve ourselves in religious practices in every day affairs. It is a time to think, analyze and meditate as part of right conduct. There are six essential rites (Avashyak) interwoven with daily life of a pious Jain. The second essential is Chaturvimshati-Stav - praying and appreciating the qualities of the 24 Tirthankars. Devpuja, worship of the Tirthankars, covers Chaturvimsati-stava. Logassa Sutra is the Chaturvimshati-Stav. When we recite the Logassa Sutra we are praising and admiring the qualities of Tirthankars, who have conquered their passions. We get motivated to overcome similar passions of anger, ego, deceit and greed. We appreciate the Tirthankars for showing us the path of liberation. Take the Logassa Challenge and be able to recite the Logassa Sutra. If you are having a tough time with memorization or pronunciation, try the Karaoke learning tool. There are many audio and visual tools on the JCSC website. Challenge yourself and others! Register today!
