    How to do vidhi of 108 parashwar nath

    a month ago 11

    Answer

    If you mean the vidhi for doing 108 japa, stavan, or devotion of Shri Parshvanath Bhagwan, the common Jain way is:

    1. Shuddhi – Bathe or wash hands and feet, and wear clean, simple clothes.
    2. Pranam – Bow to the Tirthankar with devotion and calm mind.
    3. Sankalp – Take a pure intention, such as peace, self-purification, or spiritual progress.
    4. Dhyān / Smaran – Sit quietly and remember Shri Parshvanath Bhagwan.
    5. 108 Jap – Recite the mantra, namaskar, or stavan 108 times with a mala or counter.
    6. Arpan / Bhavna – Offer your devotion mentally, not just physically.
    7. Stuti – Recite a stavan or prayer for Bhagwan’s virtues.
    8. Prarthana – Pray for inner purity, right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct.
    9. Kshama / Samarpan – End with humility and forgiveness.

    Explanation

    In Jain Dharma, the real value of vidhi is not only the external ritual, but the bhavna behind it.

    For 108 japa of Parshvanath Bhagwan, people usually:

    • Sit in a clean and शांत place
    • Keep the mind steady
    • Recite the chosen mantra or name of Bhagwan 108 times
    • Stay focused on devotion, reverence, and inner purity

    If you are doing this in a Derasar, follow the local temple tradition. If you are doing it at home, keep it simple and respectful.

    Spiritual Understanding

    Shri Parshvanath Bhagwan is remembered for:

    • deep compassion
    • protection from fear
    • inner detachment
    • spiritual strength

    The number 108 is considered sacred in devotional practice. Doing 108 japa helps:

    • steady the mind
    • reduce wandering thoughts
    • deepen श्रद्धा
    • create a devotional atmosphere

    In Jain Dharma, devotion should always support:

    • Ahimsa
    • Aparigraha
    • self-restraint
    • inner purity

    Takeaway

    The simplest vidhi is:

    Clean body, pure mind, bow to Bhagwan, do 108 japa with concentration, and end with humility and peace.

    If you want, I can also give you a simple 108-jap Parshvanath vidhi step-by-step in Gujarati or Hindi.
