In Jainism, after taking diksha you do not remain a “son/daughter” in the worldly sense, but you still practice deep respect and compassion for all living beings, including your parents.

So:

1. Relationship changes, not love

- After diksha, a person becomes sadhu / sadhvi, a member of the Jain Sangh. - Their main identity is spiritual, not family-based. - They must drop feelings of “my mother, my father, my family” (mamatā), but not drop karuṇā (compassion).

1. Can they meet and talk to parents?

- Yes, they can speak with parents, but: - Usually in public, in presence of other people / sangh. - Conversation should be simple, detached and mainly spiritual (dharma, wellbeing, guidance). - No emotional clinging, crying, worldly planning (money, property, family disputes, etc.).

1. Why these limits?

- Diksha means: - Tyāg (renunciation of possessiveness) - Aparigraha (non‑attachment) - Too much emotional, private talk with family can re‑create attachment, which goes against the vows.

1. Differences in practice

- Śvetāmbara & Digambara: both agree that after diksha, family attachment must end, though day‑to‑day rules are set by each Āchārya / order (gacch, sangh). - Some groups allow short, rare, respectful meetings. - Some are stricter and keep very limited or almost no direct conversation with close relatives.

1. What parents should remember

- Your child is not rejecting you; they are walking a spiritual path. - The best way to “stay connected” is: - Have shraddhā (faith) in their path. - Pray, do Navkār, dān, and good deeds in their anushang (spiritual support), not in expectation of worldly contact.
