    Jain rituals on aso sud poonam

    11 months ago 67

    Aso Sud Poonam refers to Navpad Oli (Ashwin month, Sud Paksha 7 to Poonam) in Jain practice. Here are the common Jain rituals observed around this period:

    • Navpad Oli (Navapad worship): Devotees observe a dedicated Oli period (usually 7 days before Poonam) at home or in temples, focusing on the Navpad (nine revered aspects: Arihant, Siddha, Acharya, Upadhyaya, Sadhu, Samyak Darshan, Samyak Jnan, Samyak Charitra, Samyak Tap). sankalp, fasting or constrained eating, and prayer are typical. You may perform Navpad puja with yantra or Navparvat symbols.
    • Siddhachakra/Navpad Puja: Along with Navpad, many perform Siddhachakra puja (ninefold Navpad symbolism) during Oli to strengthen right faith, knowledge, and conduct. This is commonly done in homes and temples during this period.
    • Pratikraman and Samayik: Increased daily prayer, Pratikraman (confession), and Samayik (meditation on equanimity) are common during Oli, as part of self-purification and discipline.
    • Fasting or restricted meals: Many observe light or partial fasting during Oli days, following local sangh guidance. This supports detachment and self-control.
    • Community meals and charity: Some sanghs arrange Ahimsa-focused meals or food distribution as a form of seva during Oli.
    • Regional/sectal differences: Digambar and Śvetāmbara calendars may place the start and end of Oli on slightly different days, but the core practice of Navpad Oli remains the same: Sud 7 to Poonam in Ashwin, with devotion to the Navpad and related rituals. For year-specific dates, local sangh calendars should be consulted.

    If you want, I can give you the exact dates for this year as per your local sangh (Digambar vs Śvetāmbara) and your city. You can read more here and about Navpad Oli practices here .
