८. इंद्रादिक पूजा भणी, फल लावे धरी राग,
पुरुषोतम पूजा करी, मागे शिवफल त्याग. ऊँ ह्रीं श्री परम पुरुषाय-परमेश्वराय-जन्म जरा मृत्यु निवारणाय, श्रीमते जिनेन्द्राय फलं यजामहे स्वाहा.
In this way we have Ashtaprakari Puja, consisting of Anga and Agra Pujas, which is a physical way of worship.
The ceremony of Bhava Puja : Jaghanya (minor) bhava puja: We recite a prayer after uttering 'Namo Jinanam' and then by giving three Khamasanas we say 'Arihantcheianam Ananttba and after doing a Kausagg of one Navkar, we recite a short prayer (Thoya). This is a minor way of worship-Bhav Puja.
Madhyam(Middle way) Bhava Puja : After performing Ashtaprakari Puja, We do a Chaitya Vandan. First there is recital of Eriavahi followed by Jankichi, Namuthunam stavan, jaya viyaray etc. and kausagga of one Navkar and a short prayer. This is a middle way of worship, Bhav puja.
UTKRIST BHAVA PUJA (HIGHEST WAY OF
WORSHIP WITH ENGROSSED MIND) : It consists of Devavandan doing reverence to God by reciting three Chaitya Vandans, five times Jamuthunam stavan and eight thoys (short prayers). This is the highest form of worship when performed with engrossed mind. Dravya puja is intended to prepare the mind to make if fit to perform Bhava puja. For this purpose we recite Chaitya Vandan stavi.n etc. in Bhava puja. Dravya puja is meaningless if it is not accumpanied by Bhava puja. Hence, Chaitya Vandan-Bhave puja is a must after doing Dravya puja. After performing the Ashtaprakari puja, we must think of the following six triples 5 to 9 while doing Bhava puja.
(Avastha Trik) (Disha Trik) (Bhumipujan Trik) (Alamban Trik) (Mudra Trik) (Pranidhan Trik) (These Triks are already explained before). No doubt, one who worships the Jina becoming oneself pure like the Jina becomes a Jina himself.
TRIKAL PUJA (WORSHIP AT THREE TIMES) : On seeing the pinnacle of the temple, we should say "Namo Jinanam" I bow down to Jina.
