Snatra Puja is a Jain devotional ritual focused on venerating the Tirthankaras. It is done by both Digambar and Shwetambar communities, with small stylistic differences between the two traditions, but the core aim remains the same: to honor the Mahavira-like beings and to cultivate humility, mindfulness, and non-violence.

A simple, common way to perform Snatra Puja (basic outline):

• Prepare: wash hands, clean the puja area, light a lamp or incense, and place a clean slate or cloth as an altar. Use a small image or symbol of a Tirthankar to represent the Ajit & guru lineage if you have one.
• Invocations: offer a brief opening homage to the Tirthankaras and the Jain siddhas; this often includes a short bhav (attitude) of reverence and surrender.
• Navkar Mantra: recite the Navkar Mantra (Namokar Mantra) with proper intention. This is central to most Jain poojas:

Namo Arihantananam Namo Siddhhanam Namo Ayariyanam Namo Uvajjhayanam Namo Loe Savva-sahunam May we all be free of harm.

• Stavan and slokas: recite or chant short stavan/slokas praising the Tirthankaras and seeking spiritual upliftment. This can include rhymes or verses specific to your tradition.
• Offerings: present symbolic offerings such as water for cleansing, flowers, fruit, or a simple lamp. The focus is on humility and non-attachment, not material richness.
• Reflection: silently reflect on right conduct (samyak-darshana, samyak-charitra, samyak-vani), non-violence, truthfulness, and compassion.
• Pratikraman (optional but common in many homes): a brief self-review to acknowledge misdeeds and resolve to improve, usually done with a calm, seated posture.
• Conclusion: conclude with gratitude for the opportunity to practice and with a calm, peaceful closure of the rite.

Notes on differences:

• Digambar: may place more emphasis on the inner discipline and the reverence shown to the Kevaljnan-awarded teachers; some recitations and postures may differ slightly.
• Shwetambar: often includes a more detailed sequence of stotras and a more explicit sequence of offerings and bhav, but the Navkar mantra and the core intention remain the same.
• In all cases, the essence is humility, reverence for the Tirthankaras, and the striving for ahimsa and self-purification.

If you’d like, tell me which specific tradition you follow (Digambar or Shwetambar) and whether you want:

• the exact liturgical text for that tradition,
• a minimal, printable script for a quick daily Snatra Puja,
• or a version tailored for a family home puja.

I’ll provide the precise wording and steps accordingly.
