    Should we keep jain asthamangal at home

    5 months ago 100

    Yes, you can keep Jain Ashtamangal at home.

    A few simple, traditional points:

    1. It is auspicious and allowed

    - Ashtamangal are eight mangal chihna (auspicious symbols) used in Jain temples, rituals and festivals to invoke śubhatā (auspiciousness) and to remind us of dharma. ( jainknowledge.com) - They may be kept or drawn at home also, especially by the entrance or in/near the home mandir, with respect. ( jainknowledge.com)

    1. Where to keep them

    - Best places: - Near/above the main entrance of the house. - In or just outside the pooja room / home temple. - Avoid: - Floor where people walk, put footwear, or where they can be stepped on. - Near dustbin, bathroom, or any unclean place. ( jainknowledge.com)

    1. How to treat them

    - Keep the area clean and respectful. - Remember they are symbols to remind you of right faith, knowledge and conduct, not objects for worldly wishes only. ( jainknowledge.com) - If they are printed or framed, handle them like any other sacred Jain image (don’t throw them casually if old or damaged; dispose respectfully).

    1. Sect (Digambar / Shwetambar) view

    - Both traditions accept Ashtamangal as mangal chihna. Lists and artistic style may differ slightly, but there is no objection to keeping them at home when treated with proper shraddhā (devotion) and maryādā (discipline). ( jainknowledge.com)
