They explain Jain scriptures and show us the importance of a spiritual life over a material life. I bow to all Sadhus and Sadhvis who strictly follow the five great vows of conduct and inspire us to live a simple life. To these five types of great souls I offer my praise. Such praise will help diminish my negative vibrations and sins.

JAIN PUJA BOOK 11 Page #12 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ ASHTA-PRAKARI PUJA 2.0 Ashta-prakari Puja (Worship) Tirthankar Bhagawan's Puja or worship is done by offering various types of materials, reciting various sutras, and with spiritual reflection. In puja, we should not offer material to Tirthankars with the desire of getting something in return but its only purpose should be simply to strengthen our internal devotional thought process. Jain Pujas are classified into following categories: Dravya-puja Tirthankar Bhagawan's Dravya-puja is done by offering certain material objects and reciting various sutras. There are two sub-categories of Dravya-puja Anga-puja Anga-puja is done by anointing the different parts of an idol of Tirthankar with water, sandalwood paste, and a flower along with recitation of appropriate sutra. Agra-puja Agra-puja is done by placing incense stick (dhoop), a lamp, rice, fruit, and sweets in front of idols along with the recitation of appropriate sutra. Bhava-puja The reflection on the qualities of Tirthankar constitute Bhavapuja. This puja is done by performing Chaitya-vandan where we reflect upon the qualities of the Tirthankara. The sutras recited while performing Dravya Puja provide the thoughts for Bhava Puja. The associated outside activities are simply to strengthen the internal devotional thought process. The full benefit to enhance the spirituality of soul occurs through Bhava Puja. Puja Materials The materials such as flowers, water, lamp, and fruits used in puja involve some violence to one-sense living beings. Hence, Jain ascetics who live totally nonviolent lives and do 12 JAIN PUJA BOOK Page #13 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ ASHTA-PRAKARI PUJA not possess any material items do not perform any types of Dravya puja. They engage only in spiritual reflection or Bhava Puja. However the Dravya puja is meant for laypeople. Commonly, laypeople spend most of their time in fulfillment of social obligations, personal enjoyment, accumulation of wealth and power, and gaining better social status. Pujas and other religious rituals help laypeople to move from their routine social life to a spiritual life. In the initial stage of spiritual development, a person needs religious symbols such as a Tirthankar idol to pray and offer puja materials. Hence minimum violence to one-sensed living being is accepted for the laypeople for their spiritual progress. However, one should use proper wisdom to limit the quantity and usage of flowers, water, fire (Deepak, Dhoop), fruits, and sweets in puja rituals and also in daily life to minimize the violence to one-sensed living beings. Ashta Prakari Puja (Eightfold Worship) "Ashta" means "eight" and "Prakari" means "types". Thus the Ashta-prakari Puja is done by offering eight different types of substances during worship. The material offered and used in the puja is a symbolic representation to acquire virtues to improve our spiritually. One should reflect on such aspects while performing the Puja rituals. There are many different types of Pujas performed for various religious and social ceremonies. However this puja is performed daily and is also included as a part of all other Puja. aSTa prakArI pUjA vidhi - Ashta Prakari Puja Ritual 1. jala pUjA - Worship with water HATARI-PAGT-ERIYEYRI-Hd-HTETETT:........ ........1.

Meaning of Jal Puja My soul is a Kalash (a small pitcher used to bath the idol) of knowledge, which is full of equanimity representing water. As I bathe the idol of Arihanta, I pray that the impurities of my Karma wash away from my soul Water also symbolizes the ocean. Every living being continuously travels through the ocean of birth, life, and death. This Puja reminds us that one should live a life as pure as water with honesty, truthfulness, love, and compassion towards all living beings. This way, one will be able to cross life's ocean and attain liberation.

Navel: JAIN PUJA BOOK 17 Page #18 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ ASHTA-PRAKARI PUJA Meaning of Chandan Puja To attain tranquility in our soul we worship the idol of Arihanta with the sandalwood paste because Arihanta is the supreme example of tranquility and his face is also tranquil. Chandan symbolizes tranquility (calmness) in our soul. Chandan mixed with water is offered to subside the suffering of the world. During this Puja one should reflect on Samyak Jnan. Samyak Jnan means proper understanding of reality that includes Soul, Karma, and their relationship. Jainism believes that the Path of Knowledge is the main path to attain liberation Significance of Nav-Anga (nine places) Puja 1. Toes - Oh! Arihanta, you traveled great distances by foot to preach to the ignorant souls and to show them the right path of life. | therefore worship your feet.

Shoulders - Even though you possessed the strength, you never misused it and never had pride.

Forehead - The Tirthankar radiates unconditional compassion and love to all living beings of the three worlds and hence all the three worlds pray to the Tirthankar. You are the crown jewel of three worlds. You were able to endure pleasure and pain equally. Worshipping your forehead will bring such good qualities to me. 7. Throat - With your soothing and sweet sermon, you touched so many lives and helped them to realize their own true nature. Let my speech work for the good of others. 8. Heart Oh! Vitaraga Bhagawan! Your heart is full of amity, compassion, and mercy. Likewise, I wish my heart be full of these virtues. 9. Navel - The navel is the center of concentration of the mind during meditation.

Just as the fragrant smoke of the Dhoop goes upwards, we should begin our ever progressive spiritual journey leading to the top of the universe, above the Siddha-shila. Just as the Dhoop removes the bad odor, we should remove false faith (Mithyatva). Dhoop also symbolizes an ascetic life. While burning itself, Dhoop provides fragrance to others. Similarly, true monks and nuns spend their entire life selflessly for the benefit of all living beings. This Puja reminds us to thrive for an ascetic life, which ultimately leads to liberation.

When we light the lamp in the right manner, our miseries get destroyed. As a result, we get the knowledge in the form of Keval-jnan, which illuminates the whole universe. Deepak symbolizes the light of knowledge. Deepak puja is offered to destroy the darkness of ignorance and false beliefs. The ultimate goal of every living being is to be liberated from karma. To be liberated from Karma, one needs to be free from all vices such as anger, greed, ego, deceit, attachment, hatred and lust. By doing this Puja one should strive to follow the five great vows: Non-violence, Truthfulness, Non-stealing, Chastity and Non-possession. Ultimately proper conduct coupled with right faith and knowledge will lead to liberation. Chamar, and Darpan Ritual After the completion of Deepak Puja, the Duhas of Chamar, and Darpan rituals are recited. Chamar and Darpan rituals are not offerings like other pujas. We do these rituals because we consider Tirthankars are the spiritual kings. Please recite the following Duhas during the ritual. 24 JAIN PUJA Book Page #25 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ ASHTA-PRAKARI PUJA cAmara vIMjhane kA dohA - Swinging Chamara be bAju cAmara DhAle, eka Agala vajra ulAle; jai meru dharI utsaMge, iMdra cosaTha malIA raMge. prabhujInuM mukhaDuM jovA, bhavo bhavanAM pAtika khovA.........1. be baju camara dhale, eka agala vajra ulale; jai meru dhari utsange, indra cosatha malia range. prabhujinu mukhadu jova, bhavo bhavana patika khova. .1. darpaNa pUjA kA dohA - Worship with Mirror prabhu darzana karavA bhaNI, darpaNa pUjA vizAla.

Meaning of Akshat Puja By offering pure and unbroken rice grains in the form of Nandavarta, we meditate in front of Arihanta, keeping all our worldly attachments away. The rice grain without the husk, called Akshat, is a kind of grain that does not germinate. One cannot grow rice plants by seeding this type of rice. It symbolizes the last birth. By doing this Puja one should strive to live life in such a way that at the end of this life one will be liberated and not born again. .3. 7. naivedya pUjA - Worship with Naivedya (Sweet) namorhat-siddhA-cAryopAdhyAya-sarva-sAdhubhyaH. dUra karI te dIjiye, aNAhArI ziva santa. anahari pada me karya, viggaha gaiya ananta. dura kari te dijiye, anahari siva santa. . ..4.

Ring Thali Do Naivedya Puja Meaning of Naivedya Puja In the course of the cycle of birth and death, I have remained hungry many times but that was transitory. O! Arihanta! give me the permanent state where there is no desire of food. Naivedya symbolizes tasty foods. By doing this Puja, one should strive to reduce or eliminate the attachment to tasty food. Healthy food is essential for survival: however, one should not live to eat tasty foods. The ultimate aim in one's life is to attain a state where no food is essential for one's existence, and that is the life of a liberated Soul, who resides in Moksha forever in ultimate bliss. 28 JAIN PUJA BOOK Page #29 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ ASHTA-PRAKARI PUJA ..................1. 8. phala pUjA - Worship with fruits namorhat-siddhA-cAryopAdhyAya-sarva-sAdhubhyaH. namorhat-siddha-caryopadhyaya-sarva-sadhubhyah...1. indrAdika pUjA bhaNI - indradika puja bhani indrAdika pUjA bhaNI, phala lAve dharI rAga. puruSottama pUjI karI, mAge ziva-phala tyAga.... indradika puja bhani, phala lave dhari raga. purusottama puji kari, mage siva-phala tyaga. .........

Ring Thali Do Fal Puja JAIN PUJA BOOK 29 Page #30 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ ASHTA-PRAKARI PUJA Meaning of Fal Puja For the Puja of Arihanta, the Supreme Being, heavenly gods bring fruits with devotion and request for their liberation, the ultimate fruit. Fruit is a symbol of Moksha or Liberation. If we live our life without any attachment to worldly affairs, continue to perform our duty without any expectation of rewards, truly follow an ascetic life, and have love and compassion towards all living beings, we will attain the fruit of Liberation. This last Puja symbolizes the ultimate achievement of our life. The main purpose of Puja is that by reciting the virtues of the Tirthankar we remind ourselves that we also have the same virtues, and that by taking the path of the Tirthankars we can also achieve Nirvana. Sea "To kill or hurt any living being amounts to killing or hurting one self. Compassion to others is compassion to one's own self. Therefore one should avoid violence that cause pains to any living beings." Mahavira (Bhagavati Aradhana, 797) "Do all the good you can, By all the means you can, In all the ways you can, In all the places you can, At all the times you can, To all the people you can, As long as you ever can." -John Wesley Mindfulness is waking up and living in harmony with oneself and with the world and appreciating the fullness of each moment of life. 30 JAIN PUJA BOOK Page #31 -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ________________ DREAMS OF MOTHER TRISHALA 3.0 Dreams of Mother Trishala It is a well-established convention that mother of a would be Tirthankar witnesses 14 or 16 auspicious dreams.
