    How many years to perform Chaitri poonam

    5 months ago 120

    In Jain dharma, there is no fixed rule like “you must perform Chaitri Poonam for X years.”

    Chaitri Poonam is an annual tithi (full moon of Chaitra). Its main points:

    • It is a very pavitra day connected with:
    - Nirvan / Moksha of Pundarik Swami and many munis on Shatrunjay (Palitana) - Many great spiritual events remembered in Jain tradition.
    • Jains usually observe it every year for their whole life:
    - tirth-yatra to Shatrunjay (if possible) - fasting (upvas, ekasana, ayambil, etc.) - prabhavna, dan, and listening to pravachan

    So:

    • Even doing it once with full shraddha has great punya.
    • Doing it every year, lifelong, is ideal.
    • The “number of years” depends on your own vow (niyam) and guidance from your guru / pravachankar.
