The document promotes the idea of "Pratikraman", a spiritual practice of introspection and forgiveness. It encourages taking one week each year to reflect on one's actions and relationships, seek forgiveness from others, and resolve to improve. The children's group designed a peace march and forgiveness postcards to spread awareness of this practice, in hopes that introspection and forgiveness can help reduce hatred and conflict in the world. They believe that starting with self-improvement is key to creating a more peaceful world.

19. PRATIKRAMANmeans to Go back

20. This practice is especially followed each year during the festival of ParyushanParyushan is a special SPIRITUAL RETREAT taken by Jains each year for 8 days during which they do PRATIKRAMAN.

21. If EVERYONE tookONE WEEKin the whole year (just 7 days out of the 365 days each year!), to introspect,Don’t you think it will make the world a better place?

22. DO

23. So, we decided to have a PEACE MARCH

24. …where we all marched in silence to SPREAD AWARENESS about this wonderful practice.

25. Lets all bring PRATIKRAMAN INTO OUR LIVES!

26. And then, we took our idea door to door... Telling people to take a little time off each year… to go back and introspect…

27. Lets take time off to see how the year has been so far…lets take time off to re examine our relationship with our loved ones.

28. It takes a strong person to say sorry, and an ever stronger person to forgive.

29. You reap what you sow… Still, if we blame another knowingly or unknowingly for our sufferings,be it from the tiniest ant to ones closest to us... then we must offer ourforgiveness to them

30. And then, let us …

31. …remember all those times whenyou could have been better…more lovingmore kindmore sensitivemore peacefulmore understanding

32. …then with a heart filled with humility and love… we seek forgiveness..
