Can I listen to uvvasaggaharam stotra during periods
Answer
Yes, you can listen to the Uvvasaggaharam Stotra during periods.
In Jain Dharma, listening with respect and devotion is generally acceptable. Menstruation is a natural bodily process and does not reduce the soul’s purity.
Explanation
During periods, some families or traditions may follow certain practical restrictions regarding:
- Entering the temple
- Touching idols or sacred objects
- Performing formal puja or rituals
These customs may vary by family, community, and sect.
However, listening to a stotra, doing mental prayer, remembering Arihant Bhagwan, or cultivating bhav can be done respectfully.
Spiritual Understanding
Jain Dharma teaches that the soul is separate from the body. Physical conditions of the body do not make the soul impure. What matters most is inner purity, right faith, humility, and peaceful thoughts.
Listening to Uvvasaggaharam Stotra with devotion can help bring calmness, protection from obstacles, and spiritual focus.
Takeaway
You may listen to Uvvasaggaharam Stotra during periods with respect and devotion. If your family follows specific customs, you may honor them while still doing mental devotion peacefully.
