    In daily basis how we drink ukadelu pani without any tap

    7 months ago 208

    I’ll answer in simple, practical Jain way.

    You asked: “In daily basis how we drink ukadelu pani without any tap?”

    I understand it as: How to manage boiled water (ukāḷelū pāṇī) every day if you don’t have a water tap (maybe village/India situation).

    1. From where to get water

    • Take water from:
    - Well, hand‑pump, or stored tank - Always from cleanest possible source
    • Let mud and dirt settle first if water looks dirty.

    2. How to prepare ukadelu pani (boiled water)

    1. Filter first (if needed)

    - Use clean cloth (thin cotton / mulmul) or a fine strainer.

    1. Boil properly

    - Put water in a clean steel / copper / brass vessel. - Boil for a few minutes so it fully bubbles. - Always boil after sunrise, never at night.

    1. Cool and filter again

    - Let it cool with lid on (covered). - When lukewarm or cool, filter again through clean cloth/strainer.

    1. Store

    - Keep in a separate, clean vessel only for drinking water. - Keep it covered always. - Do not put hand or cup inside.

    3. How to drink (without tap)

    You don’t need a tap – only good maryādā:
    • Keep one lota / jug with ukadelu pani.
    • Use a separate glass only for drinking.
    • When drinking:
    - Pour water from the lota into the glass. - Do not touch your mouth to the lota. - Best: Even with glass, try not to fully touch the rim to the mouth (or keep one personal glass per person).
    • For guests, use a different clean glass.

    4. Time rules (simple Jain maryādā)

    • Only in daytime:
    - Drink after Navkārsi (about 48 minutes after sunrise). - Stop before sunset (Chauvihār – no water at night).
    • How long can you use the boiled water?
    - Easiest rule for householders: - Use within 24 hours from boiling. - Next day, throw remaining water to plants / clean place and make fresh. ( jainknowledge.com)

    This follows ahiṁsā: less new jīvas grow in the water, and you don’t drink night‑grown organisms.

    5. Daily routine example (no tap at home)

    1. Morning after sunrise:

    - Bring water from well/hand‑pump. - Filter → boil 5–10 minutes → cool covered → filter again.

    1. Late morning:

    - Fill a covered lota/jug with this boiled water.

    1. Whole day:

    - Everyone drinks from this lota using glass, only till before sunset.

    1. Next morning:

    - Whatever is left, offer to plants / discard. - Wash vessel nicely and make fresh ukadelu pani again.
