Jain Panchang Significance of October 2026

October 2026: The Discipline of the Autumn Navpad Oli

After the emotional release of Paryushan, October 2026 brings a period of physical and mental discipline through the Ashwin Navpad Oli. This is the second major "Oli" of the year, occurring during the pleasant autumn month of Aso (Ashwin).

Dates for Ashwin Navpad Oli: October 17 – October 26, 2026

For nine days, devotees will worship the Siddhachakra Mahayantra—the nine supreme elements of the Jain universe. The Ayambil Tapa performed during this time is a powerful way to detoxify the body before the onset of winter.

Spiritual Significance of the October Tithis

October is a month of preparation for the festival of lights. In the Vikram Samvat 2082 calendar, look out for these dates:

  • October 10, 2026: Sarvapitri Amavasya. A day often spent in charity and reflecting on the lineage of faith.
  • October 20, 2026: Vijayadashami. For Jains, this day signifies the victory over the four "Kashayas" (passions: Anger, Pride, Deceit, and Greed).
  • October 26, 2026: Oli Parna. The joyful conclusion of the nine-day fast, often celebrated with community meals and gratitude.

Why do we perform Siddhachakra Puja?

The Siddhachakra Puja performed in October centers around the story of King Shripal and Queen Mayna-sundari. It teaches us that faith, combined with the rigorous practice of Navpad, can overcome even the most difficult worldly obstacles. As the nights get longer, lighting the lamp of knowledge becomes our primary spiritual goal.
