    after how many of period can we do pooja

    5 months ago 213

    In Jain dharma, there is no fixed Agamic rule like “after exactly __ days you can do pooja after periods.”

    Common traditional practice is:

    • During periods (menstruation):
    - Avoid dravya‑pooja (snatra/abhishek, touching idols, going inside garbha‑griha, handling scriptures and puja items). - You can always do bhav‑bhakti at home – Navkar mantra, stavan, prarthna, swadhyaya (listening/reading), dhyan. ( jainknowledge.com)
    • After periods stop (when bleeding has fully ended):
    - Take a full bath (snan) with hair wash, wear freshly washed clothes, and then you may start normal pooja again. ( jainknowledge.com)
    • Days count – as followed in many families (maryada): ( jainknowledge.com)
    - Shwetambar: usually stop temple/dravya‑pooja for 3 days; on the 4th day, if bleeding is over, do full snan and then resume pooja. - Digambar: many families keep one extra day; stop for 4 days, and on the 5th day, after snan, resume pooja. - If bleeding continues longer, wait until it fully stops, then take bath next morning and do pooja.

    Main point in Jain view: Menstruation is a natural process, not a sin. These rules are about ritual cleanliness (shuddhi), not about your soul being impure. Inner bhakti, Navkar, pratikraman, dhyan etc. are always allowed.
