    What kriya we havw

    6 months ago 87

    In Jainism, the word “kriyā” can mean different things depending on context, so I need to clarify a bit.

    It can refer to, for example:

    • Sharīr kriyā – activities of the body (walking, eating, speaking, etc.)
    • Mānasa kriyā – activities of mind (thinking, imagining, intentions)
    • Vachan kriyā – activities of speech (speaking, reciting, chanting)
    • Shubha / Ashubha kriyā – good and bad actions (that bind punya or pāp karma)
    • Yoga / kriyā – activities that become cause of karmic bondage

    Some texts also list different “kriyās” as spiritual practices, like:

    • Dhyān (meditation)
    • Swādhyāy (scriptural study)
    • Tap (austerities)
    • Dāna (charity)
    • Sāmāyik (equanimity practice), etc.

    To answer you properly, I need to know what you meant:

    • Are you asking: “How many types of kriyā are there in Jainism?”
    • Or: “Which kriyā should we do daily as Jains?” (like sāmāyik, pratikraman, etc.)

    If you tell me the exact context (body–mind actions, karma, or daily sādhanā), I can list and explain the kriyās very simply.
