My understanding of Das Lakshan Dharam -Design Thinking in action for celebrating High-Performance Life

Tomorrow is the beginning of Das Lakshan Parva, which means 10 Virtues for 10 days. My understanding of this festival are:

1.I used to visit the temple during these days with my father. Use to sit down in a few lectures randomly. I use to feel good but was not able to connect to my daily life. A few years back I was searching for framework from Indian scriptures in relation to where deep knowledge has been made repeatable. I found the answer in Paryushan Parva, where Jains celebrates 10 Principles of High-Performance Life for 10 days committed to learning.

2. Process Design: There are 3 innovations in this process design

a)Each day is dedicated to understand, reflect and learn about one virtue.

b) Guru(Pandit) has to be some other temple or other cities to provide a different perspective of the virtue.

c)The learning process has 3 sessions - Morning lecture form, Afternoon - Dialogue form and Evening - Lecture and Clarifications.

3. I relate 10 virtues similar to 7 habits of effective leadership

  • Habit 1 - Uttam Kshma (Supreme Forgiveness) - Reverse of Anger - Powerful vs Forgiveness. Container of disappointments poured out on the weakest person in the link.
  • Habit 2 - Uttam Mardava (Supreme Humility) - Reverse of Arrogance(EGO) - I know it all vs I need to know.
  • Habit 3 - Uttam Aarjava (Straight Forwardness) - Reverse of Deceit(Maya) - What I think, What I Say, What I do are aligned.
  • Habit 4 - Uttam Shauch (Purity or Contentment) - Reverse of Greed - I want more.
  • Habit 5 - Uttam Satya - (Truth) - Search for Real Truth not just 'speaking truth'. Searching for the root cause.
  • Habit 6 - Uttam Sanyam (Self-restraint) - Having Patience and not hurt anyone living beings.
  • Habit 7 - Uttam Tapa - The process of learning - Disciplining Senses and Disciplining Mind. 
  • Habit 8 - Uttam Tyaag - Letting Go vs just giving Donation - Letting go your attachments
  • Habit 9 - Uttam Akinchanya (Non-Attachment) - Detachment from all Emotional attachments and past.
  • Habit 10 - Uttam Brahamcharya - it's not about celibacy but about Total Surrender to the true knowledge of Soul. Follow the Brahma - The power of Nature.

The Process design and extreme distilling the knowledge of life in just 10 virtues which can drive ethics, Collaboration and continuous learning in community is a true example of Design Thinking in action for celebrating High-Performance Life
