Kshamavani or Samvatsari Pratikraman falls on the last day of Paryushana and is, in social terms, the most striking practice in Jainism. The formula is micchami dukkadam — may whatever wrong I have done be fruitless, or, more literally, may it be in vain — and the obligation runs the unusual direction: the person who may have caused harm must ask, unprompted, of everyone, without waiting to be told what they did or whether anyone is aggrieved. It is said to family, colleagues, clients, competitors and the estranged, in person, by post, and now overwhelmingly by message; Jain businesses send it to their entire address book. Refusing to grant forgiveness is itself counted as a fault, and the standard verse says that one who has enmity with nobody achieves equanimity. What the practice does structurally is put a hard annual expiry on grievance, whether or not anyone has apologised for anything specific and whether or not anyone has changed. Whether that is a profound mechanism or a way of avoiding particular reckonings is a fair question, and Jains raise it themselves.
