Here is a simple overview of Snatra Puja (a common Jain daily devotional rite):

• What it is: Snatra Puja is a traditional Jain act of reverence and worship performed daily to honor the Tirthankaras (the Jain Jainas who have conquered worldly bonds), Arihants, Siddhas, and all holy beings. It is a way to cultivate humility, reverence for ahimsa (non-violence), and spiritual focus before starting daily activities.

• Who performs it: It is commonly done by both Śvetāmbara and Digambara Jains, though the exact form and words used can vary slightly between traditions.

• Core purpose: to purify the mind, express gratitude for the Jain path, and reaffirm vows to live with truth, non-violence, and self-discipline.

• Typical sequence (simple version):

1) Prepare the space: clean the area, light a lamp, and place a small image or symbol of the Tirthankaras if you have one. 2) Bath and purification: softly wash hands and offer a simple mental or spoken prayer of purification. 3) Posture and reverence: stand or sit with folded hands (anjali mudra) and bow respectfully to the Tirthankaras. 4) Navkar Mantra: calmly chant or recite the Navkar Mantra (Namokar Mahamantra), which proclaims reverence to the Arihants, Siddhas, Acharyas, upadhyayas, and sadhus. 5) Stavan or stotra: recite short stutis or praises of the Tirthankaras and the Jain path. The exact verses can differ by tradition, but the spirit is always to glorify the virtues of the Jinas and the dharma. 6) Offerings: you may place flowers, a small lamp or incense, and a small offering of fruit or sweets as a symbolic gesture of gratitude. 7) Reflection and resolve: finish with a moment of silent reflection on non-violence, truth, compassion, and your personal vows for the day. 8) Closing: conclude with a final bow and optionally a short dedication to the well-being and liberation of all beings.

• Key themes you’ll encounter in Snatra Puja:

- Humility before the Tirthankaras - Gratitude for the Jain path and its teachings - Commitment to ahimsa, truth, and self-discipline - Respect for all enlightened beings and ascetics

• Differences between Digambar and Śvetāmbara practices:

- The core purpose and spirit remain the same: reverence for the path and purification of the mind. - The wording of mantras and the sequence of verses can vary. Some communities have slightly different stutis or additional verses, but the essential aim—honoring the Jina and renewing one’s vow to follow the dharma—remains consistent.
