Answer

In Jain Dharma, Pushpa Puja means offering flowers to Bhagwan with devotion and pure feelings.

A simple way to do Pushpa Puja:

• First, clean your hands and sit/stand with a peaceful mind.
• Take clean, fresh flowers in your hand or puja plate.
• Bow respectfully before Bhagwan.
• Offer the flowers at Bhagwan’s feet or on the puja place, according to your temple/home practice.
• While offering, recite the Pushpa Puja duha/stavan if you know it, or silently say:

“Hey Bhagwan, just as flowers are fragrant and beautiful, may my soul become pure, gentle, and full of right conduct.”

• Do not offer flowers with ego, show, or carelessness.
• After offering, do chaitya vandan, stavan, or quiet prayer if possible.

Spiritual Understanding

Pushpa Puja is not only about placing flowers. Its inner meaning is:

• Flowers represent purity, fragrance, softness, and beauty of conduct.
• We pray that our life also becomes fragrant with ahimsa, humility, forgiveness, and self-control.
• The real offering to Bhagwan is our pure bhav.

Takeaway

Do Pushpa Puja with clean flowers, clean body, and most importantly, clean feelings. The flower offered outside should remind us to blossom spiritually inside.
