Aapka prashna thoda aspasht hai, par yadi aap “gotra ko hatane” (remove karne) ki baat Jain dharm ke sandarbh me kar rahe hain, to sankshipt, sahi baat yeh hai:

• Jain siddhant me “Gotra” do arthon me aata hai:

1) Vyavaharik gotra/kul (parivarik vansh ki pehchan). 2) Karmic Gotra‑karma (uchch‑gotra aur nich‑gotra), jo atma par bandhta hai.

• Vyavaharik gotra: yeh samajik pehchan hai. Isse badalna ya na badalna adhyatmik bandhon ko seedhe prabhavit nahi karta.

• Gotra‑karma: yeh asht‑karmaon me se ek hai. Iska bandhan aur nirjara (ghatna/mitna) atma ki gunvriddhi se hota hai, na ki keval bahya kriyaon se.

- Uchch‑gotra ka karan: vinay, sadhu‑saadhviyon ka samman, sarvabhav se seva, namrata, aur paropkar. - Nich‑gotra ka karan: apmaan, ahankaar, dvess, aur anyon ki ninda. - Sahi upay: samyak‑darshan, samyak‑gyan, samyak‑charitra, aur tapas. Nitya pratikraman‑pratyakhyan, kshamapana, maitri‑bhavana, vinay, aparigraha, aur sanyam se Gotra‑karma ki nirjara hoti hai. - Antim lakshya: uchch ya nich dono gotra se paar hokar karma‑mukti ki disha me badhna.

• Digambar aur Shvetambar dono paramparaon me is mool siddhant me antar nahi: Gotra‑karma ka uddeshya namrata, vinay, aur sarvabhuta ke prati samman ko badhawa dena hai, aur uski nirjara sadachar aur sadhana se hoti hai.

Yadi aap kisi vishesh sthan/dev‑sthiti (jaise “Badra ji/Badarika ji”) ya “rishton me gotra badalne” jaise samajik niyamon ke baare me puchh rahe the, to dharm‑siddhant ke hisab se wo vyavaharik pehlu hai; adhyatmik drishti se mool mahatva Gotra‑karma ki shuddhi aur nirjara ka hi hai.
