Bhaktambar ka koई “nishchit shaastriya vrat‑vidhaan” nahi hai, zyada tar ye bhakti‑parak sankalp ke roop me kiya jata hai. Phir bhi parampara me log kuch is tarah Bhaktambar ka vrat rakhte hain:

---

1. Vrat rakhne ka sankalp

1. Subah snan, saf kapde, shant man.
2. Bhagwan Adinath ke saamne (mandir ya ghar ke chitra ke saamne) Namokar Mantra ka jap.
3. Man hi man sankalp:

- “Main itne din tak Bhaktamar ka paath / sunvan karunga, jitni shakti ho utna upvas / be-aalaakhana / ekasana rakhunga, aur ahimsa–samyakdarshan me vruddhi ka prayatna karunga.”

---

2. Vrat ke pramukh roop

Log apni shakti ke hisaab se alag‑alag roop rakhte hain:

1. Bhaktamar Paath Vrat

- Roz ek baar / do baar pura Bhaktamar paadhna. - Jo nahi padh sakte, dhyanpoorvak sunte hain. - Kuch log 7 din, 11 din, 21 din, 48 din tak lagataar paath ka sankalp lete hain.

1. Upvas / Aayambil ke saath

- Kisi khaas manokamna, rog se chutkaara, ya aatmik bal ke liye: - 1 din ka upvas + Bhaktamar paath. - Ya anukram se kuch din tak upvas / aayambil + paath. - Mahatvapurn: khana se zyada bhav shuddhi mahatvapurn hai – jhooth, rosh, anya apradhon se bachne ka vrat lo.

1. Ekasana / Be-aalaakhana

- Koi‑koi vyakti roz sirf ek baar bhojan (ekasana) ya be-aalaakhana (1–2 baar bina swad‑vividhata ke), aur usse pehle ya baad me Bhaktamar ka paath karte hain.

3. Dincharya – kaise karein

1. Samay

- Sabse achchha: subah snan ke baad, mandir ya ghar ke paath‑sthan par. - Doosra: shaam pratikraman ke baad, ya jab ghar me shaanti ho.

1. Baithne ka tareeka

- Saaf aasana par, siddhasan / padmasan me jitna ho sake sthir hokar. - Aankhen band ya murti par kendrit.

1. Paath / Shravan

- Agar aata hai to swayan paath karein (sambhav ho to 48 gatha – Digambar, 44 gatha – Shwetambar parampara). - Nahi aata to dhyan se audio sunen, beech‑beech me dhyan bhatakne na dein. - Har gatha ke baad thoda sa viram le kar Bhagwan ke gunon ka chintan karein.

1. Ant me prarthana

- Vrat ke antim me: - “Meri yeh sadhana se sharir–man ki shuddhi ho, mithyatva, krodh, maan, maya, lobh kam ho, aur samyak darshan ke yogya banu.” - Sab ke kalyan ki bhavna, sirf apne labh ki nahi.

---

4. Vrat ke niyam (saar)

• Ahimsa ka vishesh dhyan – khaane, chalne, bolne me.
• Jitna ho sake:

- Jhooth, aalochana, chugli, anavashyak mobile‑TV se doori. - Jeev‑daya, vinamrata, maaf karne ki bhavna.

• Mahila ya purush – sharirik asuvidha ho to khud ko kasht na dein;

paath‑shravan aur sadhu‑sangat se bhi vrat ka phal milta hai.

---

5. Digambar / Shwetambar drishti

• Dono paramparaen Bhaktamar ko bahut adar deti hain.
• Antar:

- Digambar: aam taur par 48 gatha. - Shwetambar: saamanyatan 44 gatha.

• Vrat ka mool bhaav dono me ek hi hai – Bhagwan Adinath ki bhakti, gun‑smaran, aur aatma‑shuddhi.

---

Yad rakhein: Bhaktamar ka “vart” ka mool bhakti aur gun‑dhyan hai, sirf upvas ya manokamna‑poorti nahi. Jitni saaf niyat, utna gehra fal.
