Dev Darshan
Dev Darshan is a daily activity of visiting Mandir and surrendering ourselves to Jinendra Dev. Three steps to Dev Darshan:
Jain Education International
1. During my visit to Mandir, I greet Jinendra God with "Aum Jai Jai Jai, Namostu! Namostu! Namostu!". Admiring the Veetraag Mudra(pure state) of Jin, I bow by bending down, hands joined and touching head to the floor.
2. Standing alertly near God, I recite or sing Stuti (prayer) and then come forward to give a second bow with the intention of letting go off pride.
3. I stand again and place rice grains brought in my hands towards the idol. This is done to affirm a life of purity, intigrity, unobstruction just like a rice grain which is white, unbroken, and have no cover. Now I perform 'Kaayotsarg' which is reciting Nnamokaar Mantra nine times. And then bow towards Jin a third time.
Dev Darshan nullifies our negative actions and pride.
