Jain pooja vidhi (puja vidhi) bahut hi saadha hai, lekin thoda-thoda tareeka Digambar aur Shwetambar dono mein alag ho sakta hai. Yahan main ek saral aur aam vidhi de raha hoon jo bahut jagahon par follow ki jati hai. Aap apni sampraday ke anusaar thode bahut farq samajh lijiyega.

1) Tyari (purification)

• Sfar, haath-pair saaf karna, aur shuddh man se pooja ki shuruaat karna.
• Achaman (paani se pyaala ko chhote-chhote sip) lena. Navakar mantra ya anya sankiratmantras ke saath shuruat ki ja sakti hai.
• Pooja ki jagah ko saaf aur santulan rakhna.

2) Prarthana aur vandana ki shuruaat

• Navkar Mantra ya sampradaya ke anusar dus-prarthana ya stavana ki shuruaat ki jati hai:

Namo Arihantanam, Namo Siddhanam, Namo Ayariyanam, Namo Uvariyananam, Namo Loe Savva-Sahunam.

• Iske baad Tirthankar ki pratima ya chitr ke samne vandana (namaskar) ki jati hai.

3) Pujan ki samagri (daan-pujan ki vastu)

• Murti ya chitr (Tirthankar ki pratima ya chitr)
• Diyo/diya (shudh tel ya ghee ka diya)
• Dhoop ya gandha (incense, sandalwood)
• Phool (roopiya or kesiya, phool)
• Abhushan, chandan, tilak ya sandal paste
• Panchamrit ki jagah kuch log kuch bhi nahi lete, par phal/naivedya (fal, meva, prasad) diya jata hai
• Naivedya (phal ya any fruit/food) aur prasad ki vyavastha
• Kapur, kesar ya sugandhit aushadhiyan, aur kabhi-kabhi paan-punjab ki chadar

4) Pooja ke kriya (vidhi ki ghanti-sahaayata)

• Murti ke samne bait kar ya khade hoke, pehle vandana, phir mangalacharan kiya jata hai.
• Navkar pranam (naman) karna; phir Tirthankar ki aadar aur gunitta (qualities) ka smaran.
• Aajjar/ausadhi ke roop me sandal paste se tilak ya abhushan lagana; phir phool-chandan arpan.
• Dhyan ke roop me Tirthankar ki mahima, ahimsa, bhakti aur shanti ki prarthana.

5) Stavan aur dhvani

• Stavan (stotra) ya stuti jaise ki Tirthankar ki stuti ki ja sakti hai (apne sampradaya ke anusaar).
• Dhvani (bell ya ghanti) ki awaaz se man ko ekagrata milti hai.

6) Prasad vitran (prasadi bhag)

• Pooja ke ant me prasad ya naivedya sabhi bhakton mein batna chaahiye. Shanti aur bhakti ki bhavana ke saath prasad ko grahan kiya jata hai.

7) Antim vandan aur samapti

• Puja ke antim samay navkar ya anya sankirtan ke saath bhav-poorna pranam kiya jata hai.
• Jodhya prakash ya lamp ko band karna, aur sthana ko devata ki kripa ke liye dhanyavaad kehna.

Vishesh baat

• Digambar aur Shwetambar ke beech kuch vividh vaakya aur kriya ho sakti hain. Jaise ki kuch sampraday murti ki snan (abhishek) ki ghatna alag tareeke se karte hain, ya kuch log stavan mein alag stavan-pustakon ka upyog karte hain. Agar aap apni sampradaya batayenge to main us hisaab se exact steps ko aur spasht bana kar de sakta hoon.
• Yahan di gayi vidhi bahut hi moolik, saamaan aur sadharan roop hai; aap apne guru ya sthaniya mandir ki pratha ke anusar thoda bahut antar le sakte hain.

Agar aap chahen, to main aapki sampradaya (Digambar ya Shwetambar) ke hisaab se aur zyada mukammal, step-by-step vidhi likh kar de sakta hoon.
