I can do SAMAIK,Pratikaman,Worship the God(SEVA Puja after attending funeral procession of which has no blood relation
Yes, you can do:
- Samayik
- Pratikraman
- Bhagwan ki seva–pūjā (worship)
even after attending the funeral (antyeshti / cremation) of someone who is not your blood relative.
In Jain Dharma:
- No real “ashauch / sutak” from another person’s death
The soul (jīva) of that person has already moved on according to its own karma. Merely attending a funeral does not make you spiritually “impure” or unfit for dharma-kriyā. - You may (and should) continue Navkār mantra, samayik, pratikraman, swādhyāy, chaityavandan, etc. with shānt bhāv.
- Samayik & Pratikraman
- These are internal practices of equanimity, reflection and repentance. - There is no restriction on doing them after a funeral, whether the person was related or not. - Just ensure: clean place, clean clothes, and a calm, detached mind.
- Seva–Pūjā / Temple worship
- Scripturally, there is no permanent ban on pūjā after attending a funeral. - Some local communities keep a short, practical gap (e.g. bathe, change clothes, and then do pūjā) as a matter of cleanliness and social custom, not as a strict dharmic rule. - After a bath and fresh clothes, you may do: - Quiet darshan - Chaityavandan - Simple dravya-pūjā (if your local maryādā allows)
- Essence in Jain view
- Real “purity” is of bhāv (inner state), not just body. - Continuing dharma after seeing death actually strengthens detachment (vairāgya) and reminds us of anityatā (impermanence). - So, doing samayik, pratikraman and bhakti after such an event is very appropriate.
So, after attending a non-relative’s funeral, once you have done normal snān (bath) and changed clothes, you can absolutely do Samayik, Pratikraman and Bhagwan’s Seva–Pūjā, with peaceful and detached bhāv.
