In Jainism, "Niyams" refer to self-imposed vows or rules that guide ethical and spiritual conduct in daily life. While the number and type of niyams can vary based on individual capacity and sect, here are some commonly observed daily niyams for lay followers (shravaks/shravikas):

1. Samayik Niyam: Practicing equanimity (samayik) for a fixed period daily, usually for 48 minutes, to cultivate inner peace and self-control.

1. Pratikraman Niyam: Performing pratikraman (introspection and repentance) daily, typically in the evening, to seek forgiveness for any harm caused during the day.

1. Swadhyay Niyam: Studying Jain scriptures or listening to discourses daily to strengthen knowledge and faith.

1. Puja Niyam: Performing puja (ritual worship) or offering prayers to Tirthankaras daily.

1. Daan Niyam: Practicing charity by giving alms, supporting Jain institutions, or helping those in need.

1. Brahmacharya Niyam: Observing celibacy or controlling passions according to one’s stage in life.

1. Ahimsa Niyam: Being mindful to practice non-violence in thought, word, and deed throughout the day.

1. Vrat Niyam: Following specific minor vows (anuvratas), such as not eating after sunset (chauvihar), restricting certain foods, or practicing fasting on specific days.

1. Alochana Niyam: Confessing one’s faults or mistakes to a spiritual teacher or in front of an idol.

1. Meditation and Reflection: Setting aside time for meditation (dhyana) and reflection on the soul’s true nature.

These niyams are meant to purify the soul, reduce negative karma, and progress on the path of liberation (moksha). Each individual can adopt niyams according to their capacity and gradually increase them for greater spiritual discipline.
