    Please give Doha to start Shwetamber kesar pooja

    12 months ago 182

    In the Shwetambar tradition, there isn’t a single fixed “doha” from the Agams specifically for beginning Kesar Pooja. The pure and universal way to start is:

    1) Navkar (Namokar) Mantra

    • णमो अरिहंताणं।
    • णमो सिद्धाणं।
    • णमो आयरियाणं।
    • णमो उवज्झायाणं।
    • णमो लोए सव्वसाहूणं।
    • एसो णवकारो, सव्वपावप्पणासणो।
    • मंगलाणं च सव्वेसिं, पडमं हवई मंगलं।

    Arth (simple meaning): I bow to Arihant, Siddha, Āchārya, Upādhyāy, and all Sādhus-Sādhvīs. This five-fold salutation destroys all sins and is the foremost among auspicious things.

    2) Mangalam Shloka (commonly recited as mangalācharaṇ before pooja)

    • मंगलं भगवान वीरः, मंगलं गौतमो गुरुः।
    • मंगलं कुन्दकुन्दाद्यो, जैनधर्मोस्तु मंगलं॥

    Arth: Auspicious is Bhagwān Vīra (Mahavir), auspicious is Guru Gautam; auspicious are the great Āchāryas like Kundakund; auspicious is Jain Dharma.

    After this, begin Kesar Pooja with shuddha bhāv, following the Ashta-prakāri or your local paddhati.
