“Munot” surname ke liye koi ek fix / universal kuldevi Jain granthon ya paramparā mein nirdharit nahi hai.

Jain sampradāy mein aam taur par yeh hota hai:

• Kuldevi surname se nahi, gotra + gaon/kshetra + khaas vansh se judti hai.
• Ek hi “Munot” surname ke alag–alag parivaron ki kuldevi alag ho sakti hai (jaise kisi ke liye Padmāvatī, kisi ke liye Ambā, Sachiyā, Ashāpurā, Chamundā adi – yeh sab sirf udāharan hain, aapke liye zaroori nahi ki yehi ho).
• Bahut baar asli kuldevi ka naam

- purāne parivārī record (vahivat/patrikā) mein, - pūrvajon ke dera­sar/mandir par likhā hotā hai, - ya buzurgon ko yaad hotā hai.

Jain drishti se dhyān rakhne layak baat:

• Mukhya bhakti aur shraddhā Tirthankar Bhagwān ke prati honi chahiye.
• Kuldevi ko Jains zyada tar shāsan-devī / rakshak devī ke roop mein mānte hain; moksh ka mārg Tirthankar ke updesh se hi hai.

Aap kya karein?

1. Ghar ke buzurgon (dādā–dādī, chāchā, mausā, adi) se seedha poochhiye:

- “Hamāre Munot parivār ki paramparā se kuldevi kaun si mani jātī hai?”

1. Agar aapko apna pūrkhāoṅ ka gaon aur gotra pata hai, to wahan ke

- purāne Jain dera­sar ke trustiyon / pujāri se puchhiye.

1. Kabhi–kabhi yeh jankārī parivārik patrikā / kul-vr̥ksh mein likhi hoti hai – use dekh sakte hain.

Kuldevi ka prashn zyada parivārik paramparā ka hai, isliye bina in cheezon ko dekhe “Munot ki kuldevi yahi hai” kehna theek aur satik nahi hoga.
