    my mom is on her period, can i do pooja?

    6 months ago 114

    Yes, you can absolutely do pooja even if your mom is on her period.

    In Jain Dharma:

    • Menstruation is related to your mother’s body, not yours.
    • If you are clean (snan/bath done, clothes clean, mouth clean) and have shuddha bhav (pure thoughts), you can do:
    - Navkar Mantra - Chaityavandan - Stavan, bhajan - Samayik, prarthna, dhyan, svadhyay

    Some families have customs that:

    • A woman on her period avoids dravya-pooja (touching/bathing idol, going in garbhagruh, handling pooja samagri or scriptures) and focuses more on bhav-bhakti (mantra, stavan, dhyan). ( jainknowledge.com)

    But these rules apply to her, not to other family members.

    So:

    • Your mom on her period = you can still do pooja normally.
    • Just follow your home/sangh’s maryada if they have any special rules.
