Shwetambar (Murti‑Pujak) Jain mandir ki ek simple, practical puja‑vidhi bata raha हूँ, jo zyada‑tar derasaro me chalti hai. Local mandir / gachchh ki paddhati thodi alag ho sakti hai, use hamesha pehle maan dena chahiye.

---

1. Puja se pehle tayyari

1. Subah‑subah snan karke saaf, halka (zyadatar safed) kapda pehno.
2. Muh saaf, haath‑pair dhoye hue ho; nashila kuch na ho (tamaku, sharab, adi).
3. Dil me chhota sa sankalp (pachchakkhan):

- “Jab tak puja chalegi, main kisi ko dukh nahi dunga, jhooth, krodh, ashubh vichar se door rahunga.”

---

2. Mandir me pravesh ka tarika

1. Bahaar darwaze par pehli Nissihi

- Dil me socho: “Ab vyavahar ki sab baatein chhod kar, mandir ki shuddh kriyao me lagunga.”

1. Andar aate hi doosri Nissihi

- Phir se bhav: “Ab yahan bhi anya baatein nahi, sirf Jinendra ka smaran.”

1. Vedi ke nazdeek teesri Nissihi

- Ab man poori tarah dharm‑aradhan par laga do.

1. Pradakshina

- Vedi ke chaaron or aam taur par 3 chakkar lagate hain, haath jodkar, dhire chal kar.

1. Darshan & Pranam

- Bhagwan ke saamne jaakar panchang pranam ya ashtang pranam karo (jitna shareer se ho sake). - Man se bolo: “Hei Arihant Paramatma, mujhe bhi aap jaisi shuddh atma banne ki shakti do.”

3. Pakshal / Abhishek (agar karti jagya ho)

Sab derasaro me har vyakti ko allowed nahi hota; kahi sirf pujari karta hai. Agar aapko karne ki anumati ho to:

1. Murti par jal se abhishek (kabhi‑kabhi dugdh, dahi, adi bhi, jo local maryada me ho).
2. Saaf, sukhe kapde se murti ko halka sa pochna.
3. Pakshal ke baad murti par chandan lagana (sirf jitna avashyak ho, adhik lep‑pocha nahi).

---

4. Ashta‑Prakari Puja (Shwetambar Murti‑Pujak)

Yeh sabse common mandir‑puja hai:

1. Jal Puja – paani chadhate hue bhav:

- “Jaise paani sab gandagi dhota hai, waise hi main apne krodh, maan, maya, lobh ko dhona chahta hoon.”

1. Chandan Puja – chandan lagate hue:

- “Thandi, sugandhit chandan jaisi shant buddhi aur sahi gyaan mujhe mile.”

1. Pushpa Puja – phool ya dry samagri (akshat, dry petals):

- “Phool jaisa komal, pavitra acharan (charitra) ho.”

1. Dhup Puja – dhupbatti / dhoop:

- “Dhup ki sugandh chaaron or failti hai; waise hi sadhu‑charitra ka vaas mere jeevan me phail jaye.”

1. Deepak Puja – diya jalana:

- “Deepak ki jyot jaise andhkaar mitati hai, waise hi samyak darshan‑gyaan se mithyatva ka andhkaar mite.”

1. Akshat Puja – akhand chawal:

- “Akshat toot‑phoot nahi, waise hi main antim janm ke liye aise gun apnana chahta hoon, ki phir janm‑mrityu na ho.”

1. Naivedya Puja – mitha ya bhojan:

- “Mujhe swad‑aswad se upar hokar vitaragata pane ka bal mile.”

1. Phal Puja – phal ya dry fruit:

- “Antim phal sirf moksh hai; main sansarik chhote‑mote phal nahi, keval moksh ka ichhuk hoon.”

> Dhyan: Jain dharm me yeh sab “prasād” khaane ke liye nahi hota. Puja ka dravya bhog nahi, shraddha ka pratik hai.

Aajkal kai log phool‑phal todne se bachte hain, sirf dry samagri se hi puja karte hain. Ye ahimsa ke zyada nikat hai. Is vishay par aur jankari yahan mil sakti hai

5. Chaityavandan / Mandir Avashyak

Ashta‑prakari ke baad ya sirf darshan ke liye bhi ye kiya ja sakta hai:

1. Navkar Mantra

- Shaant hokar 9 baar ya jitna aapka niyam ho.

1. Logassa / Chauvisattho

- 24 Tirthankaro ki stuti.

1. Vandana

- Guru Bhagwant (Sadhu‑Sadhvi) ke prati vandana, agar mandir me upasthit ho to maryada se, nahi to man se.

1. Avastha‑chintan (chhota dhyan)

- Tirthankar ke garbha, janm, tap‑gyaan‑kevalgyan, deshna, nirvan adi gunon ka dhyan.

1. Kayotsarg

- Seedhe khade ya baithkar, shareer ko sthir rakhkar kuch samay ke liye “Main shareer nahi, shuddh atma hoon” iska dhyan.

6. Aarti / Mangal Divo (agar mandir me hoti ho)

• Kuch Shwetambar derasaro me aarti, mangal‑divo, stavan hota hai.
• Diya ghumate waqt vitarag Bhagwan ki aatma‑jyoti ka smaran karo, maangne ka bhav nahi, sirf gunon ki prashansa aur un jaisa banne ki ichha rakho.

---

7. Mandir se nikalte waqt

1. Ant me phir se Navkar Mantra ya koi chhota stavan karo.
2. Man me bhav karo:

- “Aaj ki is chhoti si puja ka punya sab jeevon ke kalyan me lage.”

1. Dhyan rahe – derasar ke bahar nikalte hi turant has‑majak / mobile me ulajh jaane se bachne ki koshish karo; kam se kam kuch der tak shant bhav rakho.

Shwetambar vs. Digambar sandarbh

• Aapne khaas taur par Shwetambar puja vidhi puchi hai, upar wali vidhi Shwetambar Murti‑Pujak paddhati ke anusaar hai.
• Digambar me abhishek, ashta‑dravya puja, stavan adi ka sequence, kapde, maryada alag hoti hai – isko Shwetambar vidhi se mix nahi karna chahiye.

---

Is vidhi ko as‑it‑is ya thodi simple bana kar ghar ke derasar me bhi apna sakte hain (kam dravya, zyada dhyan aur Navkar / stavan). Local mandir ki booklet / guru‑bhagwant ki bataye huye paddhati ko hamesha sabse pehle maan dena chahiye.
