    Can you do chaityavandan after pratikaman in the evening

    9 months ago 60

    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.
