1. Perform Chaityavandan

- Recite the traditional prayers and stotras used in your Śvetāmbara tradition. - This usually includes remembrance of the Tirthankars and expressions of devotion.

1. Offer inner devotion

- Offer respect through pure feeling, not material attachment. - In Jain Dharma, bhakti is mainly inner and disciplined.

1. Seek forgiveness

- End with micchāmi dukkadam or a similar forgiveness prayer. - Ask pardon for any mistakes in thought, word, or action.

Explanation

In Śvetāmbara Jain practice, Dev Vandana is a devotional act of bowing to the Jin, the Tirthankars, and the path of liberation they revealed.

The exact order may vary slightly among:

• Mūrtipūjak Śvetāmbar
• Sthānakvāsī
• Terāpanth
• Different gacchas and local traditions

So the core spirit is always the same:

• humility
• purity
• forgiveness
• devotion
• remembrance of the liberated path

Spiritual Understanding

Dev Vandana is not only an external ritual. In Jain Dharma, it helps us:

• reduce ego
• cultivate vinay (humility)
• develop kshamā (forgiveness)
• strengthen right faith
• remember the ideal of liberation

It is a beautiful practice of turning the mind away from pride and toward inner purification.
