In Jain Dharma, the main principle for pooja is śuddhi (cleanliness of body, clothes, place, and mind), not whether a particular discharge exists or not.

1. Is daily white discharge itself a sin or a barrier to pooja?

• No. Simple white discharge (which many women have daily) is not a sin and not, by itself, a spiritual disqualification.
• Jainism looks more at:

- Are you clean (externally)? - Is your bhāv (inner intention) pure? - Is there any actual soiling of clothes or pooja area right now?

Daily white discharge is usually a health/medical issue, not a dharmic fault.

2. Practically, what should be done for pooja?

Use this simple approach:

1. Before starting pooja

- Take normal bath (or at least wash private parts well). - Wear clean, unsoiled clothes. - Make sure there is no fresh discharge wetting or soiling the clothes at that time.

1. If discharge happens or is noticed during pooja

- If it actually soils clothes or leaks: - Quietly pause pooja. - Clean yourself properly. - If possible, change into clean clothes. - Then, after regaining cleanliness, you may resume pooja with Navkār Mantra and calm bhāv. - If it is very mild, old, or only a feeling and nothing has actually soiled: - You may continue pooja, keeping mind steady. - Later, after pooja, clean properly and change if needed.

This is in line with the guidance: if white discharge comes during pooja, pause, regain shuddhi (cleanliness), and then continue calmly.

3. Digambar / Shvetāmbār view

Both traditions emphasize the same basics:

• External shuddhi – body and clothes should be clean, not visibly soiled.
• Internal shuddhi – no feelings of guilt or aversion toward your own body, only humility and pure devotion.
• Any detailed rules (like very strict home rules) are usually family or local maryādā, not direct Āgamic commands.

4. Health side (important)

• Daily white discharge can be normal, but if it is:

- heavy, - smelly, - causing itching, burning, or pain, then it is wise to consult a doctor (gynecologist). Jain Dharma always supports taking proper care of the body as a support for sādhana.

Summary: Yes, one who has daily white discharge can do pooja, as long as at the time of pooja:

• Body is washed,
• Clothes are clean and not freshly soiled,
• Place and items are clean,
• Mind is in pure, peaceful bhāv.

If any discharge actually soils you during pooja, simply pause, clean and change, and then resume with Navkār Mantra.
