Who is Bhagwan Naminatha ?

🙏 Follow the Traditional Step-by-Step Process for Daily Worship of Naminatha

1. Purification (Snatra Puja)

Begin with personal cleanliness, wearing clean clothes, and focusing the mind with prayer. Devotees often perform Abhishek (ritual bathing) of Naminatha Ji’s idol using water, milk, or sandalwood, symbolizing purity of body and soul.

2. Offering (Arghya & Puja)

Offer flowers, sandalwood paste, incense, rice, and lamps before the idol of Bhagwan Naminatha Ji. These offerings represent surrender, devotion, and respect for his divine qualities.

3. Recitation (Stavan & Sutra)

Chant Jain hymns (Stavan) and sacred sutras that glorify Bhagwan Naminatha Ji. Recitation inspires inner peace, strengthens faith, and helps devotees focus on his spiritual message of compassion and truth.

4. Meditation (Samayika & Dhyana)

Sit silently and reflect on the teachings of Bhagwan Naminatha Ji, who renounced royal comforts to pursue enlightenment. Meditate on values of Ahimsa (non-violence) and Aparigraha (non-possession), aligning thoughts with the soul’s journey.

5. Aarti & Pradakshina

Complete the worship with Aarti (lighting lamps in devotion) and Pradakshina (circumambulating the idol or shrine). This act symbolizes gratitude, respect, and surrender to Bhagwan Naminatha Ji, the 21st Tirthankara.

आरती करो नमिनाथः प्रभु की,
भवजल तारन हारी रे।
दीप जले तुम्हारे आँगन,
भक्ति सुगंध बिखारी रे ॥ 1 ॥

मिथिला नगर के राजकुमार,
जन्मे दया के सागर रे।
एकविसवें तीर्थंकर प्रभु,
जग के उजियारा के दीप रे ॥ 2 ॥

त्याग–वैराग्य जिनके जीवन में,
अहिंसा की प्रतिमूर्ति रे।
सम्मेद शिखर पर मोक्ष पाया,
जग को दी अद्भुत शांति रे ॥ 3 ॥
