    Nav ang Jin Pooja

    12 months ago 427

    Nav Ang (Nav Ang Puja) is a Jain worship ritual in which the Tirthankar murti is honored at nine specific body parts or “ang.” It is a focused way to reflect on virtues and the path to liberation.

    What are the nine angas?

    • Right Toe, then Left Toe
    • Right Knee, then Left Knee
    • Center of Arm, then Left Arm
    • Right Shoulder, then Left Shoulder
    • Top of Head (center)
    • Center of Forehead
    • Center of Throat
    • Center of Chest
    • Navel

    How it is usually done (simple outline):

    • Start with prayer, commonly the Navkar mantra (or another Mangalacharan).
    • For each ang, recite the respective short verse or stuti and offer a small symbol (like rice, flowers, or chandan) at the corresponding place on the murti.
    • After all nine ang are worshipped, complete with aarti, pradakshina (circumambulation), and a prayer for forgiveness and upliftment.

    Notes:

    • The sequence and exact shlokas can vary between Shwetambar and Digambar traditions, and also by local derasar practices. Ask your temple priest for the version they follow.
    • The nine ang puja helps remind the practitioner of humility, detachment from wealth, restraint of the senses, non-violence, and other virtues on the path to Moksha.
