Is it beneficial to do a siddha chakra pujan before a wedding?
Yes. In Jain practice, Siddhachakra pujan is commonly done during important life events, including weddings, to seek blessings for a harmonious and prosperous married life, good health, and removal of obstacles. It is a way to invoke the Navkār (ninefold) auspices and to align life with right faith, knowledge, conduct, and austerity.
Notes:
- Tradition wise, Siddhachakra puja is used in both Śvetāmbara and Digambara contexts, though the exact rituals and emphasis may differ slightly between traditions.
- The ceremony typically involves drawing or installing a Siddhachakra diagram, invoking revered beings, offering prayers and offerings, and reciting Navkar Mantra along with related hymns.
