    One marasabh told us that u shouldnt keep neminath bhagwan frame at home since he was a bachelor

    Answer

    In Jain tradition, there is no general rule that one should not keep a Shri Neminath Bhagwan frame at home because He was unmarried.

    Shri Neminath Bhagwan is the 22nd Tirthankar. A Tirthankar is a fully revered Arihant, worthy of worship, devotion, and meditation. Keeping His image or frame at home with respect is considered spiritually appropriate.

    Explanation

    Shri Neminath Bhagwan did not marry because He developed deep compassion and detachment after seeing animals prepared for slaughter for His wedding feast. He renounced worldly life and accepted diksha.

    His unmarried life is not considered inauspicious. Rather, it reflects:

    • great compassion for living beings,
    • vairagya — detachment from worldly pleasures,
    • renunciation,
    • the path toward liberation.

    So the reason “He was a bachelor, therefore His frame should not be kept at home” is not a standard Jain belief.

    Spiritual Understanding

    In Jain Dharma, we do not worship Tirthankars for worldly family symbols like marriage or bachelorhood. We worship them because they have conquered attachment, aversion, anger, ego, deceit, greed, and have shown the path to moksha.

    Shri Neminath Bhagwan’s life teaches us compassion, non-violence, and detachment. His image can inspire these qualities in the home.

    Takeaway

    You may respectfully keep Shri Neminath Bhagwan’s frame at home. If your family follows a specific local custom, you may respect it, but it should not be confused with a universal Jain scriptural rule.
