This is the day to resolve to free oneself of basic instincts.
In the rainy/monsoon season, all Acharya Bhagvants, Sadhus, Sadhvis, Munis etc stay at one place and do not travel for four months. This starts from Aso Sud Chaturdashi and ends on Kartik Sud Punam. After Kartik Punam, their vihar starts again to spread the knowledge of Principles of Jainism such as Truth, Ahinsa, Compassion etc. Thus Kartiki Punam has a big significance for all Jains.
We are going to have Kartiki Punam Celebration on two days as below.

Bhaktamara Stotra is the most famous of the Jain prayers.
It was composed by Acharya Manatunga. Bhaktamar stotra is gem of devotional Jain literature.
We pray that all the people of the world will avoid inflicting harm on animals

| | Let’s Sign up for Kindness Ripples! | | We have an opportunity for a 21-day Kindness Challenge. It is a virtual challenge hosted on Kindspring. Starting Date - Saturday, Nov 21st How does it work? Click on this link and sign up. It will ask for an email address to join. Once you join, you will get an email for 21 days - one per day, encouraging you to do a simple act of kindness and think about yourself and your relationships … for example, be nice to a family member, call a friend you haven’t talked to in a while, appreciate someone working hard, listen to a loved one with patience …etc. Acts are simple, voluntary and self-driven … what you do, how you do it, or whether you do it for that matter... is entirely up to you. Why we think it is a good idea: Tune in the ripples of synergy, goodness, compassion and kindness that is within and around us. It is a very well designed idea to inspire us all to be a little more compassionate, be a little more patient and kind to people around us at home and work. It is an opportunity to think about ourselves, our thoughts and our relationships.:) Link to sign up - http://www.kindspring.org/challenge/join/744 Smiles, Ripples of Synergy | | Wellness Challenge - Walk a Total of 12 Miles | | For the upcoming weekly challenge we are challenging participants to "walk a total of 12 miles.” Walking is an exercise that people have enjoyed for centuries. It is safe, and the risk of injury or strain is lower than it is with other types of exercise. The cost involved in walking is low, because you just need a pair of comfortable shoes, or you may even walk barefoot. Walking for 10 minutes a day yields numerous benefits, and you can begin to experience these soon after you begin your walking routine. Consult your health practitioner before beginning any exercise program to assure that you do not have health conditions or limitations that affect your ability to exercise safely.
