    4th vrat in Jainism

    3 months ago 54

    The 4th vrat in Jainism is Brahmacharya — celibacy / chastity / control of sensual desires.

    Meaning:

    It means:
    • avoiding sexual indulgence
    • maintaining purity in thoughts, words, and actions
    • practicing self-control over desires

    In Jain ethics:

    • For munis/sadhus, brahmacharya is observed fully and strictly as one of the five Mahavratas.
    • For shrावaks/shrāvikās (lay followers), it is observed as a vow of restraint within the five anuvratas.

    Simple order of Jain vows:

    1. Ahimsa – non-violence
    2. Satya – truth
    3. Asteya – non-stealing
    4. Brahmacharya – celibacy / chastity
    5. Aparigraha – non-possessiveness

    If you want, I can also give the 5 vows in Gujarati/Hindi/Sanskrit form.
