Jab Pran Tan Se Nikle

Description

Samadhi maran, a peaceful and aware death, is treated in Jain tradition as the final and most important sadhana of a lifetime, and this book is written to prepare for it long before the moment arrives. It leads the reader through letting go of anger, attachment and grudges, so that the last thoughts are of forgiveness rather than regret.

Good for: adults of any age, and especially for those caring for elderly parents who want to read to them. Available in Gujarati and Hindi editions; choose the language from the options above.

How families use it: many keep it at the bedside of an ageing relative and read a portion aloud each evening, and others read it themselves during Paryushan as part of their own reflection on kshamapana. Families also distribute copies at a prarthana sabha or shok sabha in memory of a departed relative.
