    Adhodisha no swami

    one year ago 42

    In Jainism, "Adhodisha no Swami" (અધોદિશા નો સ્વામી) refers to the lord or deity of the lower direction (downward direction). In Jain cosmology, the universe is divided into different directions, and each direction is presided over by a Tirthankara or a significant spiritual entity.

    For the Adhodisha (lower direction), the Swami or lord is Shri Vasupujya Swami, who is the 12th Tirthankara of the current Avasarpini cycle. Devotees often recite or remember the Tirthankaras associated with each direction as a part of daily prayers or rituals for protection and blessings.

    So, "Adhodisha no Swami – Shri Vasupujya Swami".

    This is part of a traditional Jain recitation:

    • Urdhva (upward) – Shri Rishabhdev (Adinath) Swami
    • Purva (east) – Shri Ajitnath Swami
    • Paschim (west) – Shri Sambhavnath Swami
    • Dakshin (south) – Shri Abhinandannath Swami
    • Uttar (north) – Shri Sumatinath Swami
    • Adhodisha (downward) – Shri Vasupujya Swami

    These are remembered for spiritual protection and guidance in all directions.
