can we eat food during listening to logassa sutra
In Jain practice, Logassa Sutra is a reverent prayer to the Tirthankaras and is often recited during periods like samayik (meditation) or pratikraman. There isn’t a specific rule in the scripture that grants eating during the listening of Logassa Sutra. Generally, during samayik or when one is engaged in devotional recitation, one should maintain focus, purity, and non-violence in mind and action. If you are observing Paushadh vrata or other strict vows (niyams) that limit eating, you would follow those vows, but there isn’t a separate scripture-based allowance to eat while listening to Logassa Sutra itself. So, in typical practice, it is best to listen with full attention and pause eating until after the recitation, unless your personal vow allows otherwise.
Digambar and Śvetāmbara traditions both revere Logassa Sutra, and there is no widely different rule between them specifically about eating during its recitation. The essence remains the same: cultivate reverence and inner purification while remembering the Tirthankaras.
