Answer

“Vandeetu Sutra” Jain Dharma mein ek pavitra sutra hai, jismein shravak/shravika vinay-purvak Arihant, Siddha, Acharya, Upadhyay aur Sadhu-Sadhviyon ko vandan karte hain.

Iska mukhya arth hai:

“Main vinay aur bhakti ke saath Panch Parmeshti ko vandan karta/karti hoon. Unke gunon ko yaad karke, apne ahankar ko kam karta/karti hoon aur samyak darshan, samyak gyan aur samyak charitra ki taraf badhne ka bhaav rakhta/rakhti hoon.”

Explanation

“Vandeetu” ka bhaav “vandan karna” ya “namaskar karna” hai.

Is sutra mein bhakt apne mann, vachan aur kaya se vinamrata dikhata hai. Jain Dharma mein vandan ka arth sirf sharirik namaskar nahi, balki:

• Gunon ka samman karna
• Ahankar ko chhodna
• Guru aur dharm ke prati shraddha rakhna
• Apne jeevan mein sadachar laane ka sankalp karna

Is sutra ke madhyam se sadhak yeh bhaav karta hai ki:

• Arihant Bhagwan ke kevalgyan aur vitaragta ko pranam
• Siddha Bhagwan ki moksha-sthiti ko pranam
• Acharya Bhagwant ke shasan-netrutva ko pranam
• Upadhyay Bhagwant ke gyan-pradan ko pranam
• Sadhu-Sadhvi Bhagwant ke sanyam aur tapasya ko pranam

Spiritual Understanding

Vandeetu Sutra humein vinay sikhata hai. Jain Dharma mein vinay bahut mahatvapurna gun maana gaya hai, kyunki vinay se ahankar kam hota hai aur atma dharm ke adhik nikat jaati hai.

Jab hum Panch Parmeshti ko vandan karte hain, tab hum unke sharir ko nahi, balki unke shuddh gunon ko pranam karte hain.

Takeaway

Vandeetu Sutra ka saar hai:

“Hey Panch Parmeshti! Main aapke pavitra gunon ko vinay-purvak pranam karta/karti hoon. Mujhe bhi aise gun apnane ki prerna mile.”
