Answer

Acharya Bhagwant aur Ratnadhik Sadhu-Sadhviji ko vandan karne ke liye Jain parampara mein mukhya roop se Vandana Sutra bola jata hai.

Vandan karte samay aam roop se kaha jata hai:

Icchāmi Khamāsamaṇo Vandiuṃ Jāvaṇijjāe Nisīhiāe.

Iska arth hai:

“Hey Kshamashraman Bhagwant! Main aapko maryada-purvak vandan karna chahta/chahti hoon.”

Explanation

Acharya Bhagwant aur Ratnadhik yani jo sanyam, gyan, tapasya, charitra ya diksha-paryay mein adhik hain, unko vandan karna Jain dharma mein vinay ka mahatvapurna ang hai.

Vandan ka bhav hota hai:

• Guru ke prati vinay
• Ahankar ka tyag
• Sanyam aur charitra ke prati shraddha
• Atma-shuddhi ki bhavana

Important Note

Alag-alag Jain sampradayon aur gacch-paramparaon mein vandan ki vidhi aur sutra ke uchcharan mein thoda antar ho sakta hai. Isliye poora vandan-sutra aur kriya apni parampara ke Guru Bhagwant ya gyani shravak-shravika se seekhkar hi karna uchit hai.

Takeaway

Acharya aur Ratnadhik ko vandan karna sirf sharirik kriya nahi, balki vinay, shraddha aur atma-vinay ka pavitra abhyas hai.
