“Vasupujya Puja” ke niyam Jain dharm me bahut mahatvapurn hain kyonki yeh Bhagwan Vasupujya ki aradhana ko shuddha man, shareer aur samagri ke sath sambodhit karti hai. Neeche pramukh niyam diye gaye hain, jo Digambar aur Shwetambar dono par lagu hote hain par kuch prakar ki bhinnataen hoti hain. Aapke samayik vishesh par aadharit kuch vidhiye farq ho sakte hain.

1) Shuddhta aur taiyyari (purity)

• Sharir ki shuddhta: snan ya ablution karke pavitrta ki sthiti me pravesh.
• Vastra: nayi, saaf aur shwet ya halke rangon ke paramparik kapde. Digambar parampara me aam taur par bina vastra ke aradhna ki pratha hoti hai (par Shwetambar me vastra ka prayog aam hota hai).
• Sthal ki shuddhta: mandir ki zameen, poojan ki jagah ko saaf rakhna, pooja saamaan ki safai.
• Mann ki shuddhta: man me anya vicharo ko door rakhna, bhavnaon ko Bhagwan ki mahima me kendrit karna.

2) Upakaran aur aupcharik samagri (articles used in worship)

• Puja ke liye samagri ki vyavastha: murti ya chitr ke saamne upakaran (bowl, sandal paste, phool, dhoop-dhaagan, akshat, naivedya itiadi) ki vyavastha.
• Aangik puja (Anga Puja) ke dauran shareer ke angon par pratikriyaen jaise tilak, paan ya chandan ki upalabdhi ki jati hain.
• Dhyan rahe ki saamaan ki safai aur pramanikta bani rahe; kahin kahin par samaan ko vyaktigat upakaran ke roop me apna kar pooja ki jati hai.

3) Puja ki kriya (ritual sequence)

• Abhishek ya prakshalan: murti ki jal se snan (pani, kabhi-kabhi Panchamrit ki jagah paani se bhi) ki jati hai; murti ko ponchhkar sukhaya jata hai.
• Prarambh pooja (Swasti Mangal Stotra ya similar stuti): Bhagwan ki aaradhana ki shuruaat ke liye stotra ya vandan gaya jata hai.
• Ahaavana aur sthapana: dev (Vasupujya) ki aagman ya sthapana ki kriya ki jati hai; dev ki puja ke liye shikshaen aur mantra uchharan kiya jata hai.
• Pratidhi (arghya) aur phal mal se arati: phool, phala, naivedya arghya jaisi prasadhanayein diye jate hain; antim roop me prarthana, shantipath, aur achintan ke sath vidhi samapt hoti hai.

4) Swaroop-vidhi me farq (Digambar vs. Shwetambar)

• Vastra: Digambar sampradaya me kuch sthalon par "nirvastra" aradhana ki parampara hoti hai, jabki Shwetambar me kapdon ke saath pooja aam tor par ki jati hai.
• Tilak/kaarya: Digambar puja me tilak ya mukha par visesh chandan ya sindoor ki upyogita alag dhang se hoti hai; Shwetambar me samanya tilak aur chandan ki vidhi jari hoti hai.
• Nashta/peene ki reeti: mandir aane ke baad bhojan ya peene ki anivarya anumati alag-alag sthalon me vyavaharik roop se alag hoti hai; aam taur par pavitrata ki drishti se bhojan ka niyamit samay aur sthal me niyantran hota hai.
• Vastra aur anukaran: Digambar me kuch sthalon par vastra-nirapeksh aradhana ki parampara hoti hai; Shwetambar me vastra kapadel ke sath pooja aam roop me chalti hai.

5) Sath hi yaad rakhne layak bindu

• Puja ki niyamit samay-suchi ko dhyaan me rakhna, aur samay ki pabandi.
• Bhagwan Vasupujya ki mahimā, ahimsa, satya aur aparigraha jaise gunon ka manan karta rahna.
• Shuddhta ki bhavna ke sath puja ke antim pal me sewa, bhav aur karm ki shuddhi ki pratigya.
