    Can sweet be added on lunch of 12va , death due to kidney failure age 48

    6 months ago 116

    In Jain dharm there is no specific scriptural rule about “12va ka bhojan” menu or about adding sweet, even in case of death at age 48 or due to kidney failure.

    A few clear points:

    1. 12th‑day lunch is a social / family custom, not a compulsory Jain religious vidhi.

    - Its main purpose (if done) should be simplicity, detachment (vairāgya) and remembering the soul with shubh bhāv, not show‑off.

    1. Can sweet be added?

    - Yes, there is no Jain prohibition on serving a simple, pure sweet dish on the 12th day. - Just keep it: - Pure vegetarian (of course) - Without eggs, alcohol, etc. - As simple and non‑lavish as possible.

    1. Cause of death (kidney failure) and age (48 years)

    - In Jain view, cause of death or age does not change the food rules. - The soul has moved on according to its own karma. Our duty now is: - Shubh dhyān, Navkār mantra - Pratikraman / Shānti pāṭh (if possible) - Dān and jiv-dayā in their memory

    1. What is spiritually best on 12va?

    - Keep the meal simple, without waste. - Avoid excitement, noise, and heavy celebration‑type feeling. - Do some pāṭh, svādhyāy, dān, and maintain inner shānti.

    So, yes, you may keep a simple sweet in the 12th‑day lunch, but try to keep everything very saatvik, simple and with bhav of detachment and prayer, not as a big feast.
