In Ayambil, bhojan ka mool niyam hai “ras-tyag” – sirf jeevan chalane jitna, bina swaad ke. Samanya roop se (Digambar–Shwetambar dono mein chhote fark ke saath) yeh cheezein li jaati hain:

1. Kitni baar aur kaise khana?

• Sirf 1 baar din mein bhojan (lunch time ke aas‑paas).
• Raat ko kuch nahi (Chauvihar / at least no food after sunset).
• Pura din sirf uubala hua paani (sobh se suryast tak).

2. Kya–kya kha sakte hain?

(A) Anaj / Cereals

• Sadharan, uubale hue anaj, jaise:

- Gehu ki saadi roti / khichdi (bina tel, ghee, masale) - Chawal (boiled, plain) - Daliya (broken wheat) – sirf paani mein uubala hua

• Kuch parivaar ek hi prakaar ka anaj rakhte hain (ek-grain).

Apne ghar ki parampara dekh ke kariyega.

(B) Dal / Pulses

• Non-sprouted daalein, sirf paani mein uubali hui:

- Moong dal, masoor, toor, chana dal, rajma, etc.

• Bilkul bina tadka, bina tel/ghee, bina masala.

(C) Sabzi (yeh jagah‑jagah alag hota hai)

• Bohot jagah Ayambil mein sabzi bilkul nahi lete.
• Kahin‑kahin thodi si ek sukhi sabzi chalti hai:

- Jaise lauki / turai / parval, sirf paani mein uubali hui - Bina tel, bina masala, bina sugar, bina tamarind.

• Hamesha apne ghar ki parampara / guru / upadhyayji se confirm karein.

3. Jo cheezein aam taur par mana hoti hain

Ayambil mein aam taur par:

• Dairy sab mana:

- Doodh, dahi, chhachh, ghee, makkhan, paneer, cheese, etc.

• Tel, ghee, oil sab mana – tali hui koi bhi cheez nahi.
• Cheeni, gud, mishri, jaggery, honey – sab mana.
• Masale aur swaad:

- Haldi, mirch, dhaniya, jeera, garam masala, hing, adrak, lehsun, pyaaz – sab mana.

• Fruits, salad, kachchi sabziyaan – aam taur par nahi lete.
• Dry fruits, mewa, mithai, farsan, achar, papad – sab mana.

Namak (salt) ka niyam

• Kuch parampara mein bilkul “nir-swad” Ayambil hota hai – namak bhi nahi.
• Kuch jagah thoda sa rock salt / sendha namak chalne dete hain.
• Yeh poori tarah aapke sampraday aur guru par nirbhar hai.

4. Simple practical example (ek typical Ayambil plate)

Ek sadha Ayambil bhojan kuch aisa ho sakta hai:

• Plain uubala hua chawal ya
• Plain gehu ki khichdi / daliya
• Saath mein ek plain uubali dal (jaise moong dal)
• Sab kuch bina tel, bina masala, bina cheeni, bina dairy
• Upar se sirf thoda sa namak (agar aapki parampara mein allowed ho).

Pura din baaki samay sirf uubala hua pani, aur jitna ho sake paath, dhyaan, swadhyay.

Ayambil ka mool uddeshya hai swaad pe niyantran, indriyon ko shant karna, aur antar-mukhi rehkar punya aur paap-kshaya karna. Isliye hamesha yaad rakhein: Jitna sada, utna hi uttam.

Sabse sahi hoga ki aap apne ghar ke guruji / pravachan karta / derasar ke Ayambil shala se ek baar niyam confirm kar lein, kyunki chhote‑chhote farq area‑wise hote hain.
