Aaso Maas Oli October 2026

Respected Shravak/Shravika,

Pranam.

Melbourne Shwetambar Jain Sangh (MSJS) is pleased to inform that the Aaso Maas Navpadji Oli starts from Sunday, 18^th October 2026 to Monday, 26^th October 2026 (from Chaitra Sud 7 to Chaitra Sud 15).

As per Jainism, Navpadji Oli is considered as Shashwati Parva. It means Navpadji Oli festival exist in all time cycles (past, present and future).

During these nine days, one should do Aayambil - which means - Eat once a day in one sitting- a simple spice-free food, boiled or cooked without milk, curd, ghee, oil, green/raw vegetables, fruits, dry fruits and sugar.

To celebrate this occasion, MSJS has organised Sattar Bhedi Pooja and Samooh Aayambil at MSJS Centre as per the below details:

Sattar Bhedi Pooja is usually performed to do prayaschit for any ashatana done in Sangh Derasar or Sangh events throughout the year (Example: Sneezing during Samvatsari Pratikraman). MSJS has organised this pooja to bring peace, happiness, prosperity, and good health for all.

MSJS Will provide all required items for Pooja. However, as we know, it provides immense satisfaction to do Pooja with personal items (sva-dravya). If you wish to use sva-dravya, sangh will be happy to provide required guidance.

પરમાત્માની ભક્તિ માટે શાસ્ત્રોમાં પંચપ્રકારી, અષ્ટપ્રકારી ચોસઠપ્રકારી, નવ્વાણું પ્રકારી આદિ પૂજાના વિવિધ પ્રકારો દર્શાવવામાં આવ્યા છે. જેમાંની એક સત્તરભેદી પૂજા પણ છે. ૧૦૮ કાવ્યોમાં બનેલી આ પૂજા વિવિધ રાગોથી યુક્ત અને અદ્દભુત શબ્દસંયોજનથી અલંકૃત છે.
