should we actually restart samayik after 2 ghadi if we continue?
In many Jain traditions, yes — if you interrupt Samayik for more than 2 ghadi, it is generally considered necessary to restart the Samayik from the beginning if you wish to continue it properly.
Simple meaning:
- 2 ghadi is taken as a traditional time limit.
- If the Samayik is broken beyond that limit, the original observance is usually treated as interrupted.
- So, to maintain the sanctity and proper vrata-fulness of Samayik, one should begin again.
Important note:
- Exact practice can vary slightly by Digambar and Shwetambar traditions, and also by local maryada.
- The safest conduct is to follow the guidance of your Guru or local Jain Sangh.
