If I want to do kauusag of 4 day of oli which sutra should I say
Answer
For Kāyotsarga (Kausagga) on the 4th day of Āyambil Oli, you may generally recite:
- Namokār Mantra
- Logassa Sutra
- Karemi Bhante Sutra before beginning the Kāyotsarga
A common way is:
- Say Karemi Bhante to take the resolve for Kāyotsarga.
- Stand or sit steadily in Kāyotsarga.
- Recite Logassa Sutra or Namokār Mantra with devotion.
- Complete with peaceful reflection and forgiveness-bhāv.
Explanation
During Āyambil Oli, many Jains do Kāyotsarga with devotion to purify karma and strengthen self-discipline. The exact sutra may vary by tradition, gaccha, family practice, or guidance of one’s Guru.
For the 4th day of Oli, if your family or upāśray has a specific niyam, follow that. If not, Logassa Sutra is commonly recited in Kāyotsarga because it praises the 24 Tirthankars and supports pure contemplation.
Spiritual Understanding
Kāyotsarga means “letting go of attachment to the body.” During Oli, it helps us focus on:
- inner purity,
- control over taste and body-comfort,
- devotion to Arihant Bhagwan,
- and removal of karmic impurities.
Takeaway
If you are unsure, do Karemi Bhante + Logassa Sutra for Kāyotsarga, and follow your Guru or local Jain tradition if they have given a specific sutra for the 4th day of Oli.
