Wat does sahebji do if in periods and want to vihar next day
In Jain dharm, periods (rajasvalā) are a natural body process. Rules are mainly about temple/puja maryādā, not about you being “impure”.
Your question has two possible cases:
---
1. If you are still on periods and want to go for vihar (yatra/derasar visit) next day
Traditional maryādā:
- Travelling is allowed. There is no dosh in simply travelling in bus/car/train etc.
- But during actual bleeding days you should:
- Health first: if you feel weak, keep bhakti simple and short.
---
2. If your periods finish today and you want to vihar from tomorrow
- When bleeding is over:
- After this, you can:
- In many Shwetāmbara and Digambar families, they restart puja from 4th day after proper bath, but exact count is family/sangh custom.
---
Sect-wise general note
- Shwetāmbara: Usually allow bhāv‑sādhana (mantra, stavan, samayik, pratikraman) at home; avoid idol/samagri touch during menses.
- Digambar: Often a bit stricter about entering temple/sanctum during menses, but inner bhakti (jap, dhyān, pratikraman) is allowed.
Essence:
- Periods do not stop you from vihar/travel or inner sādhanā.
- Only idol‑touch and sanctum puja are paused till bleeding stops and you have done full snān and worn clean clothes.
