Micchami Dukkadam
The Art of Forgiveness, Letting Go, and Finding Inner Peace
Rooted in the Jain tradition of forgiveness, a guide to accountability, letting go of resentment, and self-forgiveness — with a 7-Day Forgiveness Challenge.
Micchami Dukkadam is a book on forgiveness by Indian author Parvind Kumar, drawing its title from the Jain practice of seeking forgiveness from all beings. It explores forgiveness alongside accountability, boundaries and responsibility — not as forgetting or excusing harm, but as acknowledging it, releasing what no longer needs to be carried, and choosing how to move forward.
The book covers sincere apology, the difference between guilt and shame, self-forgiveness, and forgiveness within families, friendships and digital life, closing with a 7-Day Forgiveness Challenge and a 30-Day Journey of guided reflection.
