    Navkarshi karte kevalgya

    9 months ago 160

    Navkarshi is the practice in Jainism of eating the first meal of the day at least 48 minutes after sunrise. This period, called "Navkarshi," allows time for the environment to settle after sunrise, minimizing harm to tiny living beings that may become active with the morning light. Before consuming anything, Jains recite the Navkar Mantra and meditate, expressing gratitude and seeking forgiveness for any harm.

    Kevalgya is not a commonly used term in Jain rituals. If you mean "kevalgyan," it refers to "omniscience"—the highest state of knowledge, achieved by Tirthankaras and liberated souls. This is unrelated to the daily practice of Navkarshi.

    If you are asking about the significance or rules of Navkarshi, here is a summary:

    • Purpose: To minimize harm to living beings and to practice discipline.
    • Procedure: Wait at least 48 minutes after sunrise before consuming food or water. Recite the Navkar Mantra before eating.
    • Spiritual Significance: Cultivates awareness, self-control, and compassion, core values in Jainism.

    If you meant something else by "kevalgya," please clarify your question!
