    Can I meet my mother in heaven if I have the same Punta as them and if we are on the same heavenly realm and have adhavi jahvan but no like a family reunion as a layperson in digamber jainsim simple ans

    In Digambar Jain view, even if:

    • you and your mother have same puṇya (you wrote “Punta”),
    • you both take birth in the same devalok (heaven),
    • and there is adhavi jāhvan (special mutual attraction/affection),

    still it is not like a human “family reunion” where you live as mother‑child again.

    Key points in simple language:

    1. No fixed family relations in heaven

    In dev gati (heavenly birth), jīvs are devas and devīs. Relations like “this is my mother, this is my son” do not continue in the same emotional and social way as on earth.

    1. Same heaven, but different bhav

    You may exist in the same heavenly realm, but due to karma: - different bodies, - different surroundings, - different enjoyments. The strong human feeling of “my mummy, my child” does not remain like in human birth.

    1. Adhavi jāhvan = attraction by karma, not spiritual meeting

    This means a karmic attraction between two jīvs (a kind of pull or liking), not a conscious, planned meeting as relatives. It is still bondage of karma, not spiritual closeness.

    1. Jain focus is not on meeting again in heaven

    Digambar Jain shāstra teaches: - Best aim is moksha (liberation), - Not repeating births together in different loks. True kindness to mother is: both progress toward samyak darshan, good charitra, and finally moksha, where all worldly relations and sorrows end.

    So, in simple words:

    • You cannot plan a clear “mother–child get‑together” in heaven like on earth.
    • Same heaven and adhavi jāhvan may create some connection, but not a family life or reunion as we imagine here.
