Nav-ang ki puja (nine angas ki puja) Jain dharma ki ek pavitra vidhi hai jo Tirthankar ki nav-anga (nine limbs/ang) ko samarpit hoti hai. Neeche seedhe-saadhe steps diye gaye hain jo aam roop se temples ya grihasth par ki jaati hain. Agar aap Digambar ya Shwetambar tradition ke hisaab se specific antar chahte hain, to bataye, main us hisaab se explain kar dunga.

Step-by-step (saral roop) 1) sthaan ki shuddhi

• puja ke sthaan ko achhi tarah saaf karen.
• chulha/diya ke aas-paas safai aur kalash ko bhi vishesh rup se saaf rakhen.
• pavitra jal (neene ya chaal jal) ka stambh ready rakhen.

2) shuddhikaran aur ashirvaad ki pratishtha

• haath ko prathamashah paani se dhoyen.
• sharir ko halke garbha-sparsh se shuddh karen (achman ya pawan mala se).

3) Deep/diya, dhoop, pushp

• diya jalayen (shudh tel ya ghee se).
• dhoop ya kapur jala kar pavitra vatavaran banayein.
• puja ke liye pushp (ful) aur alankar ki vastu taiyar rakhen.

4) Nav-ang ki murti ya chitr ki sthapana

• Nav-ang ki murti ya chitr ko panchamrut ya jal se sparshit karte hue vrat/rashtra ki pratima ki shuddhi karen.
• murti ke saamne ek pradiksha (patra ya plate) rakhen jisme chandan, kumkum, haldi, mishri, ya roli ho.

5) pranam aur ashirvaad ki prarthana

• sabhi log aankhon par haath jod kar dhyan aur shraddha ke saath pranam karen.
• Nav-ang ki mahima ko yaad karte hue stutiyon/namaskaar ki stuti suru karen.
• nav-ang ki pavitra qualities (ahimsa, satya, brahmacharya, aparigraha, etc.) yaad karen.

6) Nav-ang ki stuti ya stotra ka sankirtan

• yadi aapke paas Nav-ang Stuti ya stotra hai to use dhyaan se uchcharan karen.
• bolte samay murti ke aage shraddha se dhyaan kendrit rakhen.

7) prasad aur prasād

• prasad (phal, mishri, ya phalon ki chhoti máatra) ki upasthiti rakhen.
• sabhi bhakt ko prasad baant kar man ki shanti ki prarthana karen.

8) prarthana ke antim hee kadam

• kul devata/saint ki aarti ya mangalacharan ke saath samapan karen.
• shuddh jal ya panchamrut se murti ki visarjan (virjan) ke baad ashish ki prarthana.

Digambar vs Shwetambar differences (sankshep)

• Dono paramparaon me Nav-ang puja ki mool bhavna same hoti hai: Tirthankar ki nav-anga ki upasana.
• Kuch logon ke liye aarti, stavan, ya mukhya 9 ang ki specifically alag-alag mantrana chalu hoti hain. Digambar aur Shwetambar communities me shuddhi kriya, aarti ki vidhi, ya stotra ke chunav me chhote-mote antar ho sakte hain. Agar aap chahein to main dono margon ki exact vakya-vivaran (arth) ke saath samjha sakta-hoon.

Aasan roop me, Nav-ang ki puja ko shraddha, pavitrata, aur brahmacharya ki prarthana ke saath kiya jata hai. Agar aap chahen, main iske liye aapke vishesh samay/mandir ki vidhi ke hisaab se ek chhota, step-by-step checklist bana kar de sakta hoon.
