    We worship lakshmi mata and sarawati mata?

    15 hrs ago 2

    Answer

    In Jain Dharma, the main worship is of:

    • Arihant Bhagwan
    • Siddha Bhagwan
    • Acharya
    • Upadhyaya
    • Sadhu-Sadhvi Bhagwant

    These are the Panch Parmeshthi, and they are central in Jain worship.

    Jains may respectfully acknowledge or traditionally worship Lakshmi Mata and Saraswati Mata in some cultural or family practices, but they are not the central objects of spiritual worship in Jain Dharma.

    Explanation

    In Jainism:

    • Lakshmi is commonly associated with prosperity.
    • Saraswati is associated with knowledge and learning.

    Some Jain families may do Lakshmi Pujan during Diwali or remember Saraswati Mata before studies, especially as part of Indian cultural tradition.

    But from the Jain spiritual viewpoint:

    • We do not worship deities for worldly desires as the highest goal.
    • We worship those who have conquered attachment, hatred, karma, and rebirth.
    • The highest ideal is liberation, not wealth or worldly success.

    Spiritual Understanding

    Jain Dharma teaches that true blessings come through:

    • Right Faith
    • Right Knowledge
    • Right Conduct
    • Ahimsa
    • Self-discipline
    • Purification of the soul

    So, even if one respectfully bows to Lakshmi Mata or Saraswati Mata as part of family tradition, the deepest Jain devotion remains toward the Tirthankars and Panch Parmeshthi.

    Takeaway

    Jains may respect Lakshmi Mata and Saraswati Mata culturally, but Jain Dharma’s true worship is of the liberated and spiritually perfected beings, especially Arihant Bhagwan, Siddha Bhagwan, and the Tirthankars.
