घर-घर में मनाई जाती है महावीर जयंती

मुनि सुधा सागर महाराज, मुनि प्रमाण सागर महाराज, मुनि प्रज्ञासागर महाराज समेत देश के तमाम जैन संतों ने सामाजिक दूरी का पालन करते हुए भगवान महावीर के जन्म को अपने घरों में ही मनाने का आह्वान किया है.



राजस्थान जैन युवा महासभा, जयपुर के प्रदेश महासचिव विनोद जैन 'कोटखवड़ा' ने कहा कि कोरोना वायरस महामारी के कारण लॉकडाउन के बीच इस बार जैन समाज महावीर जयंती के सामूहिक आयोजन नहीं करेगा. मंदिरों में जन्म और पूजा का उत्सव भी नहीं होगा।


पहली बार जयपुर में कोई जुलूस नहीं निकलेगा। जैन समाज की ओर से अपने-अपने घरों के बाहर रंगोली बनाकर 5 या 24 दीपक जलाए जाएंगे। इसके बाद घर में चौकी पर भगवान महावीर स्वामी का चित्र लगाकर, उसके चारों ओर रंगोली बनाकर, उस पर कलश स्थापित करके, 5 या 13 दीपक जलाकर पाठ और अष्ट द्रव्य से उसकी पूजा करें।

इसके बाद 5 मिनट तक घर की छत पर या बरामदे में मधुर ध्वनि करते हुए भगवान की जय-जयकार करेंगे। पूजा के अंत में गृह शुद्धि के लिए हवन होगा। युवा महासभा के प्रदेश अध्यक्ष प्रदीप जैन ने बताया कि शाम छह बजे आरती के बाद भक्तमर स्तोत्र आदि का आयोजन किया जाएगा.
