Chaitri Poonam is the divya tithi when Pundarik Swami (Pundarik Gandhar, grandson of Bhagwan Adinath) attained moksha on Shatrunjay with crores of munis, so his smaran and mala-jaap on this day is very shubh.

1. Basic bhav before starting mala

• Subah snan, safed/saaf kapde
• Mandir / ghar ke derasar mein baitho
• Navkar Mantra ka uchchaaran karo
• Antaray karma kshaya ke bhav se prarthana karo

2. Simple vidhi for Pundarik Swami mala-jaap There is no one “fixed” number in shastra for everyone; bhav is main. You can follow a simple paddhati like:

1. Navkar Mantra – 1 mala
2. Then Pundarik Swami ka naam / stavan / chaityavandan ka jaap mala se:

- Minimum: 1 mala - If possible: 3 ya 9 mala

1. Har mala ke pehle chhota sa sankalp:

- “Aaj Chaitri Poonam par Pujya Pundarik Swami ke charano mein, shubh bhav, mithyātva vināsh aur moksha-marg ki dradhā ke liye main yah mala-jaap kar raha/rahi hoon.”

Aap agar Pundarik Swami ka vishesh stavan / chaityavandan jaante ho, to uska paath mala par kar sakte ho; nahin to sirf unka shraddha-purna “Pundarik Swami naum, Namo Pundarik Swami” jaisa naam-smaran bhi kar sakte ho.

3. Din bhar ki Chaitri Poonam sādhanā (optional, par bahut shubh)

• Jo ho sake utna upvas / ekāsan / beāsan
• Shatrunjay ka bhav-yatra (maanasi yatra)
• Swādhyāy, pratikraman, aur zyada se zyada Navkar
