    Niyam for amonth

    7 months ago 134

    Here is a simple 1-month Jain niyam plan you can follow. Keep it realistic so you can actually continue it.

    ---

    Step 1: Decide Your Main Niyam (for all 30 days)

    Choose 1–3 main niyam that you will follow every day for a month.

    You can pick from these:

    1. Samayik niyam

    - Do 1 samayik (48 minutes) daily, at a fixed time.

    1. Jain stotra / mantra niyam

    - Recite Navkar Mantra at least 108 times daily, or - Recite Uvasaggaharam Stotra or any one stotra you like, daily.

    1. Food-related niyam

    Pick one: - No kand-mool (potato, onion, garlic, etc.) for the whole month. - No food after sunset (chaudas / poshadh-style) for all 30 days. - Avoid pakkanu (fried, outside food, sweets) for 30 days.

    1. Ahimsa niyam

    - Speak without anger or harsh words (try complete control on vaanee). - No arguments, no hurting anyone knowingly.

    1. Digital / time niyam

    - No mobile / social media for 1 hour in the morning – use that time only for paath, pratikraman, or swadhyay.

    Choose what suits your life, but once you decide – don’t break it for 30 days.

    Step 2: Basic Daily Routine (Simple)

    Try to maintain this every day:

    Morning:

    • Wake up, do Navkar Mantra (at least 9 times).
    • Do your fixed niyam (Samayik / paath / stotra).
    • Think: “Aaj pura din ahimsa, vinay aur sayyam se bitaunga/bitaungi.”

    Daytime:

    • Be careful of:
    - Jhooth (lying) - Ninda (backbiting) - Krodh (anger)
    • Before eating, do Navkar Mantra once and remember punya & ahimsa.

    Evening / Night:

    • Try not to eat after sunset (if possible; or at least once/twice a week).
    • Do a small pratikraman:
    - Remember the day, - Accept your mistakes in mind, - Do Micchami Dukkadam from heart for all.

    ---

    Step 3: Weekly Small Extras (Optional)

    Each week, add one small special niyam:

    • Week 1: One day – do Ekasan / Beasan (eat once or twice with full control).
    • Week 2: One day – avoid mobile, TV, timepass for half a day.
    • Week 3: One day – speak only when necessary, more silence.
    • Week 4: One day – do extra paath (e.g., 51 / 108 Navkar more than usual).

    ---

    Step 4: How to Start and End the Month

    First day:

    • Sit calmly, do Navkar Mantra.
    • Decide clearly:
    - “For the next 30 days, I will surely do: 1) … 2) … 3) …”
    • Take this niyam in front of Arihant–Siddha–Sadhu–Dharma in your heart.

    Last day (day 30):

    • Do a little pratikraman / prayer:
    - Thank Bhagwan for strength. - Ask forgiveness if any niyam broke or was done with laziness. - Decide what one good habit you will continue even after the month.

    ---

    Very Important

    • Better to take a small niyam and follow 100%,
    than a big niyam that you break again and again.
    • Niyam should bring shanti, vinay and awareness, not ego.

    If you tell me:

    • Your age,
    • Whether you are student / working / homemaker,
    • And what you already do (if anything),

    I can suggest a very specific 1-month niyam plan tailored just for you.
