Paryushan festival of Jainism is ending today, on this day all the Jains apologize to each other for their mistakes and ask for forgiveness. It is believed that on this day the mistakes committed throughout the year are forgiven. Forgiveness is said to be the biggest dharma in Jainism. But there are also people like Rakesh Jain in society, who consider non-violence as their religion, who actually disguise themselves as a monk but do not have compassion in their minds.
