    BB NA VAR IN SAMAYIK

    one year ago 72

    In Jainism, Samayik is a spiritual practice involving meditation, reflection, and efforts to maintain equanimity (samata) for a set period. During Samayik, one aims to remain free from attachment (raag) and aversion (dvesh), focusing on spiritual purity and discipline.

    BB NA VAR (બેબી ના વ્રત) is not a commonly recognized term in Jain scriptures or practices. However, if you are referring to "Bee na var" (બી ના વ્ર), which means "12 vows" (Barah Vrata) in the context of Jain layperson's spiritual practice, they are:

    12 Vows (Barah Vrata) for Shravaks (Lay Followers):

    Main Vows (Anuvrata) - 5:

    1. Ahimsa Anuvrata (Non-violence)
    2. Satya Anuvrata (Truth)
    3. Achaurya/ Asteya Anuvrata (Non-stealing)
    4. Brahmacharya Anuvrata (Celibacy/Chastity)
    5. Aparigraha Anuvrata (Non-possessiveness)

    Supplementary Vows (Guna Vrata) - 3:

    1. Dig Vrata (Limitation of movement)
    2. Bhoga Upbhoga Vrata (Limitation of consumable and non-consumable items)
    3. Anartha-danda Vrata (Avoidance of purposeless sins)

    Disciplinary Vows (Shiksha Vrata) - 4:

    1. Samayik Vrata (Periodic meditation, equanimity)
    2. Desavakasika Vrata (Limiting activities to a certain area for a period)
    3. Paushadha Vrata (Living as an ascetic for a day, often with fasting)
    4. Atithi Samvibhaga Vrata (Charity, offering food to ascetics)

    Samayik is specifically the 9th vow among these. It involves sitting in a posture of meditation, reciting Jain prayers or scriptures, and striving for a state of equanimity for at least 48 minutes.

    If you meant something else by "BB NA VAR," please clarify, and I will provide a Jainism-based answer.
