i have bhaktambar dipak that i used in bhaktambar and now on diwali i am thinking to use these dipaks can i use it in diwali pujan
Answer
Yes, you may use the same Bhaktamar dīpak for Diwali pujan, provided it is clean, respectful, and used with proper devotional feeling.
Explanation
In Jain Dharma, the purity of intention, cleanliness, and reverence are very important. If the dīpak was used during Bhaktamar Stotra devotion, it is not considered “spoiled” or unusable. It has already been used in a sacred devotional context.
Before using it for Diwali pujan:
- Clean the dīpak properly.
- Use fresh oil or ghee and a fresh wick.
- Place it respectfully in the puja area.
- Use it with a calm and devotional mind.
Spiritual Understanding
In Jain tradition, Diwali is especially connected with the nirvana of Bhagwan Mahavir. Lighting a dīpak symbolizes the light of true knowledge, inner purity, and the path of liberation.
A dīpak used in Bhaktamar devotion can also be used in Diwali pujan if your bhāv is pure and respectful.
Takeaway
You can use the Bhaktamar dīpak for Diwali pujan. Just clean it, use fresh materials, and offer it with sincere devotion.
