    Sthaanakvasi kon hote hai

    11 months ago 216

    Sthānakvāsī Jain dharma ki ek Śvetāmbara sub-śhākhā hai. Inhe aksar Dhundhiyā ya Sadhumargi bhi kaha jata hai.

    • Mukhya vichar: Sthānakvāsī idol-worship (murti-pūjā) ko nahin maante. Unki pooja sthalo (sthānak) me hoti hai, na ki mandiron me murtiyon ki aradhana. Unka dharmic kendra bhakti, śāstra-adhyan aur bhāvanā par hai.
    • Itihaas: Lonka/Lonkā gacha se nikli ek reform movement thi jo 15th–17th shatabdi me utpann hui; 17th century me Lavaji Surat ki janj me is vichardhara ko aage badhaya. Iske baad Terapanthi jaise anya varg bhi isi dara se nikle. ( britannica.com)
    • Sthanak: Inki sabse pehchanne wali baat hai ki ye mandir ki jagah sthanak (prarthana hall) me samagam karte hain. Ascetics white clothes pehne hote hain aur muhapatti (mooh dhakne ki parik) rakhte hain. Laypeople ki bhojan vyavastha bhi alag ho sakti hai. ( britannica.com)
    • Digambar vs Shwetambar me antar: Sthānakvāsī Śvetāmbara (Shwetambar) samprati ki ek reformist shakhā hai; Digambar sect is prakar ke idol-worship ke vipreet kam karta hai. Sthānakvāsī apne aap ko Śvetāmbara ke antargat samajhte hain, lekin murti-pūjā na karne ki wajah se Murtipujak Śvetāmbara se alag pehchaan rakhte hain. ( jainworld.org)
