what typ of punya will we get by going to jain temple everyday
By going to a Jain temple (derasar) every day with shraddha and samveg, you mainly get puṇya of bhakti and darshan. In simple words:
- Darshan‑puṇya (seeing the Lord)
- Just peaceful, respectful darshan of Jina idol creates a very strong shubha (auspicious) karma. - Result: future birth in good Jain family, opportunity for satsang, good health, good mind, and protection from many difficulties.
- Chaitya‑bhakti / Dev‑puja puṇya
- Bowing down (namaskar), doing puja, aarti, chaityavandan etc. gives bhakti‑puṇya (devotion‑merit). - Result: comfort, respect, prosperity, helpful people around you, and again and again chance to come near temples and saints.
- Satsang‑puṇya (company of dharma)
- In temple you hear stotra, sutra, pravachan, meet other shravaks and sometimes sadhus/sadhvijis. - This creates knowledge‑puṇya – in future lives you get sharp memory, interest in dharma, and chances to study Jain scriptures.
- Shubha‑bhav / shubha‑leshyā
- Daily temple visit calms anger, greed, jealousy etc. - This pure state of mind itself is puṇya and destroys many paap karmas in mild form.
- Dravya‑puṇya & Bhāva‑puṇya
- Dravya‑puṇya: offering flowers, dhoop, deep, donation for temple, helping in cleaning, managing. - Bhāva‑puṇya: inner feelings – humility, gratitude to Tirthankars, desire for samyak darshan and moksha. - Out of these two, bhāva‑puṇya is much higher. Even a small act with pure bhav gives huge puṇya.
- Special puṇya for regularity
- Going occasionally gives puṇya, - Going every day creates a strong habit (sanskar) and steady stream of puṇya leading you again and again towards dharma and finally towards liberation.
One important point:
- If someone goes to temple only for show‑off, gossip, or worldly business, the puṇya becomes very little.
- If one goes with vinay (respect), shuddha bhav (pure feeling) and dharma‑chintan, then the same visit becomes very powerful puṇya and also slowly prepares the soul for moksha‑marg.
