Answer

To do Sadhviji Maharasaheb Vandan, approach with humility, folded hands, and devotion. Bow respectfully and say the traditional vandan phrase according to your Jain tradition.

A commonly used respectful way is:

“Matthena Vandāmi”

meaning: “I bow with my head in reverence.”

How to Do Vandan

• Stand or sit respectfully before Sadhviji Maharasaheb.
• Join both hands in namaskar mudra.
• Bow your head with humility.
• Say respectfully: “Matthena Vandāmi.”
• If Sadhviji Maharasaheb gives blessings or guidance, listen silently and respectfully.
• Maintain modesty, discipline, and proper distance as per Jain maryada.

Important Maryada

• Do not touch Sadhviji Maharasaheb.
• Speak softly and respectfully.
• Avoid casual behavior, joking, or unnecessary conversation.

Spiritual Understanding

Vandan is not only a greeting. In Jain Dharma, it is an expression of vinay — humility and reverence toward those who have renounced worldly life and are walking the path of self-purification.

Takeaway

Do Sadhviji Maharasaheb Vandan with shraddha, vinay, folded hands, bowed head, and respectful words. The inner feeling of humility is most important.
