The only purpose of
Jain Dharma is to provide aspirant soul (sadhak Atma) a path to Moksha
(Salvation). Rituals are small but an important first step towards the
path of Moksha. The rituals are consist of Bhakti and Pooja (worship)
Every idol
worshipping religion attaches great significance to the pooja and corresponding
rituals. A person feels gratified and experiences a great joy upon catching a
glimpse of the idols he/she adores for it is the measure of his/her
faith.
There are some
daily rituals (દિનચર્યા) prescribed
for a Jain householder (shrawaks) in scriptures.
Jin Pooja is the
foremost of all rituals. There are two types of Jin Pooja.
1. Dravya-with some
material offerings
2. Bhava-No
material offerings.
Pooja is usually performed
in temple before an idol of Arihanta, but it can also be performed with or
without an idol at home.
During this lecture
series Jin pooja na Rahasyo ( secrets or of Jin Pooja), Hiteshbhai Pandit
will explain us, all the essential aspects of Pooja, corresponding rituals
and slokas (doohas) to chant , meaning of the words of sloka
and the sequence of the rituals with the reasons behind it.
This is very
important for us to attend along with the family members and children. Any
rituals done without understanding do not bring the complete results.
Knowledge and rituals are essentially two wheels of the cart and both are necessary
to bring the proper results.
There
will be a questions/answers time to satisfy your curiosity.
