“Bhav Pooja” ka saral arth:

Bhav = andar ka bhaav, bhavna, mann ki sthiti Pooja = aaradhana / upaasana

Isliye Bhav Pooja ka matlab hai:

• bina zyada saamaan (dravya) ke,
• shuddh mann, shraddha, vinay aur samyak drishti ke saath
• Bhagwan ki aaradhana karna.

Bhav Pooja mein kya mahatva hai?

1. Mukhya cheez – antarik bhaav

- Asli pooja vastron, phool, dhoop se nahi, - balki vinamrata, ahimsa, kshama, dayaa, saiyam se hoti hai.

1. Mann–Vachan–Kaya ki shuddhi

- Soch saaf ho (dusron ke prati dvesh, irsha kam karein) - Baaten saaf ho (jhoot, apmaan, ninda se bachein) - Sharir se himsa, asaiyam na ho.

1. Dravya na ho to bhi pooja ho sakti hai

- Mandir na ja sakein, saaman na ho, - fir bhi Navkar mantra, stavan, dhyan, pratikraman se - jo pooja hoti hai, use bhi Bhav Pooja kehte hain.

Dravya Pooja se antar

• Dravya Pooja: jal, chandan, phool, dhoop, deep, akshat, naivedya, fal se ki jaati hai.
• Bhav Pooja: in sab se bhi zyada mahatva andar ki shuddh bhaavna ko deti hai.

Agar dravya ho par bhaav kharab ho, to pooja adhuri hai. Agar dravya na ho, par bhaav uttam ho, to pooja safal mani jaati hai.

Digambar aur Shwetambar dono mein

Dono paramparaon mein Bhav Pooja ka mool siddhant ek hi hai:

• Bahar se kam, andar se zyada sudharna –
• Tirthankar Bhagwan ke gunon ka smaran karke

unke jaise banne ki ichchha rakhna – yehi asli Bhav Pooja hai.

Jinpuja ke prakar batate samay aam taur par bola jata hai ki:

• Dravya Pooja
• Bhav Pooja
• Arthik Pooja

jinmein sabse mahatvapurn Bhav Pooja hi mani jaati hai.
