Answer

Chhath Attham aam taur par Paryushan / Das Lakshan ke samay kiya jata hai.

“Attham” ka arth hota hai 3 din ka upvas. Isliye Chhath Attham mein sadhak lagatar 3 din upvas karta hai.

Explanation

Iski shuruaat ka samay sampraday aur parampara ke anusaar thoda alag ho sakta hai:

• Shwetambar parampara mein Paryushan ke dauran Attham kiya jata hai.
• Digambar parampara mein Das Lakshan Parva ke dauran Attham kiya jata hai.

Aapke ghar, sangh ya guru-parampara mein jo niyam chalta ho, uske anusaar shuruaat karni chahiye.

Spiritual Understanding

Chhath Attham ka uddeshya sirf bhojan-tyag nahi, balki:

• kashay kam karna,
• samayik, pratikraman, swadhyay badhana,
• atma-shuddhi aur sanyam ko majboot karna hota hai.

Takeaway

Chhath Attham kab start karna hai, iska sahi nirnay apne guru bhagwant, sadhu-sadhvi ji, ya local Jain sangh se poochkar lena uchit hai, kyunki parampara ke anusaar tithi alag ho sakti hai.
