    Lakshmi pujan along with tirthankar and aacharya photo and chopda puja done by us?

    16 hrs ago 2

    Answer

    Yes, in many Jain families, Chopda Puja is done with devotion by placing:

    • Photo or idol of a Tirthankar Bhagwan
    • Photo of respected Acharya Bhagwant / Guru Bhagwant
    • New account books or business books — Chopda

    However, in Jain Dharma, the main reverence should always be toward:

    • Arihant Bhagwan
    • Siddha Bhagwan
    • Acharya, Upadhyay, and Sadhu Bhagwant
    • Jin Vani / Jain scriptures

    About Lakshmi Puja

    Some Jain families also perform Lakshmi Puja during Diwali or Chopda Pujan as a cultural family tradition, especially for business prosperity.

    But from the Jain spiritual viewpoint, prosperity should be understood as something to be used with:

    • honesty
    • non-violence
    • truthfulness
    • charity
    • self-restraint
    • right conduct

    Jain Dharma does not place material wealth above spiritual purity.

    How to Do It Respectfully

    You may do Chopda Puja like this:

    • First do Navkar Mantra.
    • Offer reverence to Tirthankar Bhagwan.
    • Remember Guru Bhagwant / Acharya Bhagwant.
    • Place the new Chopda respectfully.
    • Write auspicious Jain words such as:
      • Shree
      • Om Hrim Shree Arihantaya Namah
      • Navkar Mantra
      • Labdhisagar / Shubh Labh if followed in your family tradition
    • Pray that your business or work remains based on Ahimsa, Satya, honesty, and Dharma.

    Spiritual Understanding

    For a Jain, Chopda Puja is not only for earning money. Its deeper meaning is:

    • May my earnings be pure.
    • May I not harm others for profit.
    • May I avoid dishonesty, greed, and deceit.
    • May wealth become a means for Dharma, charity, and good conduct.

    Takeaway

    Yes, you may perform Chopda Puja with Tirthankar Bhagwan’s photo and Acharya Bhagwant’s photo. If Lakshmi Puja is also done in your family tradition, do it respectfully, but keep the Jain focus on Arihant, Siddha, Guru, Dharma, purity of conduct, and right livelihood.
