What is logas nu kausak
Logassa nu kausak (Logassa Käusagga) is a Jain practice where a devotee performs a short ritual during a period of stillness (kausagga) while mentally reciting the Logassa Sutra.
What it means in simple terms:
- Logassa Sutra honors all 24 Tirthankaras.
- In a kausagga, you stay motionless and recite one line of Logassa with each breath, typically for a fixed number of breaths (often 25).
- This practice helps purify the mind, reduces harm to living beings, and strengthens reverence for the Tirthankaras and their teachings.
Key points:
- Logassa contains the names and praises of the 24 Tirthankaras.
- The kausagga with Logassa is a common devotional ritual in Jain practice, and it is described as part of the six essential rituals in some Jain traditions. ( jainknowledge.com, jainqq.org)
