Rohini Vrat Dates, Puja Vidhi, Vrat Vidhi And Benefits
Jainism is known for strict rules kept by the Tirthankaras for the followers of the religion. However, among the rules there are some easy fasting days as well that can be observed by the householders. Rohini Vrat falls on the day when there is Rohini Nakshatra predominant in the sky, and ends with the rising of the Marghashirsha Nakshatra.
There are total twelve Rohini Nakshatra days in a year, one in each month. Each of these days is observed as Rohini Vrat. The day is observed by fasting and some rituals. The total twelve fasts are to be observed ideally for five years and five months; however, some variations are found based on the difference.

Vrat Vidhi & Puja Vidhi
The
Rohini
Vrat
can
be
observed
by
the
whole
family;
however,
generally
only
ladies
do
it.
Early
morning,
on
this
day,
the
devotee
has
to
get
up,
take
bath
and
decorate
the
altar
for
the
deity.
The
idol
of
Lord
Vasupujya
is
placed
at
the
place
of
worship.
He
is
then
given
a
holy
bath.
This
follows
offering
other
sacred
things,
such
as
incense
sticks,
prasad
and
flowers.
Then,
the
holy
worship
is
performed
as
a
ritual.
The
women
are
not
supposed
to
eat
anything
until
the
rising
of
the
Marghashirsha
Nakshatra
in
the
sky.
Once
the
number
of
fasts
are
completed,
the
devotee
has
to
perform
the
holy
Udyapan.
Udyapan
is
performed
on
the
day
of
the
last
fast.
The
deity
is
worshiped
with
celebrations.
The
observer
of
the
fast
has
to
visit
the
temple.
This
is
followed
by
the
distribution
of
the
prasad
among
the
devotees
and
in
the
neighbourhood
and,
of
course,
in
the
temple.
We
know
that
no
fast
becomes
successful
without
offering
some
donations
to
the
needy.
So,
after
the
Udyapan,
there
is
a
provision
to
donate
items
of
use
to
the
poor
and
needy
as
per
one's
ability.

Whom To Worship On Rohini Vrat
Jainism is a religion started in ancient India. It was started by the first Jain saint, Lord Rishabhnath. There have been twenty three more such Tirthankaras. Tirthankara in Jainism refers to a saint who propagated the religion and lead the religious group. He is a person who has achieved a divine state through spiritual penance. Lord Vasupujya was the 12th among the Jain Tirthankaras. He is worshipped on the day of the Rohini Nakshatra.
Lord Vasupujya Was A Divine Soul
He was the son of king Vasupujya and mother Jayavati. It is believed that before he was born, his mother had seen a dream which indicated that a divine child was going to take birth in their home. Born on the fourteenth day of the Falgun month of the Indian calender, at Champapuri, he remained a celibate throughout his life and is believed to have achieved enlightenment in only one month of penance. He did not accept the throne offered by his father.
He travelled many places as a sage and preached the philosophies of Jainism. He advocated the principles of Ahimsa, peace and compassion. He emphasized on the right knowledge, right manner and right action, the three codes of Jainism. He taught people meditation and helped them liberate themselves from the continuous cycle of birth and death. Lord Vasupujya was a divine soul, who has become immortal now and is worshiped with all the devotion by his devotees. He travelled many places as a sage and preached the philosophies of Jainism.
