    Can you do chaityavandan after pratikaman in the evening

    10 months ago 69

    Yes. In Jain practice, you can perform chaityavandan after pratikaman (evening pratikraman). The usual sequence in the evening is to complete the pratikraman/samayik rituals and then offer chaityavandan (stuti and devotional salutations to the Tirthankaras). This order is common because pratikraman is the reflective confession and purification, and chaityavandan follows as a devotional praise and meditation on the Jinas.

    Notes:

    • There are minor textual differences between Digambar and Shwetambar traditions in the exact wording of chaityavandan, but the spiritual aim remains the same: reverence to the Tirthankaras and inner purification.
    • Chaityavandan is a flexible addition to the evening routine; some communities include it regularly, others do it on specific days or occasions.

    If you’d like, I can point you to a JainKnowledge page that describes chaityavandan and its place in daily practice.
