The word ‘Navpad’ means nine supreme posts of the universe – Arihant\, Siddha\, Acharya\, Upadhyay\, Sadhu\, Darshan (right belief)\, Jnan (right knowledge)\, Charitra (right action) and Tapa (right austerity) \nJain literature (Kalpasutra) indicates that Navpad Oli is Shaswati\, meaning permenant. Navpad Olifestival exists in all time cycles (past\, present\, and future). This provides significant important to the Navpad Oli. The story of Shripal and Mayanasundari are connected with this observance. \nWe should try to do Ayambil during these auspicious days. \nFor more information on SIDDHA CHAKRA & the ritual of the Navpad Oli\, please read here    \n——————————————————————————————————————————————- \nAyambil at Jain Center during Navpad Oli \nThis year\, we will have Ayambil on all 9 days at our temple between 12 and 1 pm during Oli.
