The 3rd day of the Paryushan Parva is celebrated as Samayika Divas (day).
His Holiness Acharya Mahashraman preached in today's Prime Sermon that, Today the 3rd day of Paryushan Parva is Samayika Divas. Many people are practicing Samayika. A lay follower becomes like an ascetic when he practices Samayika. His Holiness explained -
The Mukhavastrika - We ascetics and you Shravakas who are practicing Samayika both use. This is the similarity.
The White Cloth - We ascetics and some gents also wear. This is also a similarity.
The penance of Savadya Yog (Committing any kind of violence) - We ascetics accept for lifelong and in a partial manner and for the limited period Shravaks also accept it. This also becomes a little similarity.
So in a partial manner the Shravak becomes like an ascetic during the Samayika.
