Tithi Kya Hoti hai

Jainism ke anusar, "Tithi" ka arth hai—chandramā ke gatisheel hone par ek vishesh din ya muhurat. Tithi ko Hindi mein ‘तिथि’ aur English mein ‘Lunar Date’ bhi kaha jata hai. Jain dharm mein tithi ka vishesh mahatva hai, kyunki anek vrat, upvas, paryushan, ayambil aur anek dharmik karyakram tithi ke anusar hi kiye jate hain.

Jain panchang ke anusar, pratyek mahine mein Krishna Paksha (chandramā ki ghṭti hui paksha) aur Shukla Paksha (badhte hue chandramā ki paksha) hoti hai, jismein pratyek paksha mein 15 tithi hoti hai—Pratipada, Dwitiya, Tritiya, Chaturthi, Panchami, Shashthi, Saptami, Ashtami, Navami, Dashami, Ekadashi, Dwadashi, Trayodashi, Chaturdashi, aur Purnima/Amavasya.

Jain dharm mein kuchh vishesh tithi—Ashtami, Chaturdashi, Purnima, Amavasya—par vrat, upvas, aur dharmik kriyaen karna shubh mana jata hai. Tithi ka palan karna moksha marg mein sahayak mana gaya hai, kyunki yah niyamit anushthan aur samay par dharmik kriyaon ke liye anusmaran dilata hai.
