    Pooja doha nav angh

    12 months ago 133

    It seems you’re asking about the Nav Angh (nine limbs) of Jain puja. In Jain worship, different communities (Digambar and Śvetāmbara) have slightly different sequences, but the general idea is to perform a ninefold homage to the Tirthankaras and the Jain tradition with reverence, prayer, and offerings.

    A simple, commonly taught outline (variations exist):

    • Greeting and Namaskar to the Arihant (kevalin) and to the Tirthankaras.
    • Abhishek (purification) of the idol or symbol with water or water+urna.
    • Pad Pranam (salutations) to the Tirthankara and to the Jain saints.
    • Stavan (praising hymns or stotras) and bhakti/ichchha (devotional thoughts).
    • Chintan (remembrance and contemplation on right faith and right conduct).
    • Aarti or deep lighting and arghya offerings (optional in some communities).
    • Navkar Mantra recitation (the core Jain mantra: Namo Arihantānaṁ, Namo Siddhānaṁ, Namo Āyariṇṇāṁ, Namo Siddhāmanāṁ, Namo Ayariyanaṁ, Namo Uvajjhāyaṁ, Namo Loe Savva-sāho-nāṁ).
    • Prarthana for peace, compassion, and the welfare of all beings.
    • Shanti (peace) and concluding respectfully with circumambulation or remaining in quiet reflection.

    Important note:

    • The exact texts, sequence, and emphasis can differ between Digambar and Śvetāmbara traditions. If you’d like, I can give you the precise version and meanings as preserved in a particular tradition, or provide the original Sanskrit/Prakrit stotra from Jain scriptures with authentic meanings.

    If you want to study this further with authoritative Jain sources, I can point you to relevant JainKnowledge pages in the sitemap and summarize their contents (in Jain-dharmic terms) for you.
