    I want to take sanyas so pls help me find a guru

    2 hrs ago 7

    In Jain Dharma, sanyas usually means diksha or the vow of renunciation under a qualified Sadhu/Sadhvi or Acharya.

    To begin properly:

    1. Understand the path clearly

    Study basic Jain principles first: Ahimsa, Satya, Asteya, Brahmacharya, Aparigraha.

    1. Meet a Jain Acharya or senior sadhu/sadhvi

    A proper guru for diksha should be from an authentic Jain tradition and should guide you according to Agam and sampradaya.

    1. Live the household discipline first

    Many people first practice: - partial vows - fasting - simple living - reduced possessions - daily pratikraman and swadhyaya

    1. Check your readiness honestly

    Diksha is a lifelong commitment of: - complete renunciation - strict non-violence - no possessions - disciplined conduct - constant spiritual practice

    1. Approach a Jain sangh or temple

    A local Jain mandal, derasar, or temple committee can connect you with a legitimate guru.

    1. Do not rush

    In Jain Dharma, diksha should be taken with deep thought, purity of intention, and proper guidance.

    If you want, I can help you with a simple Jain diksha preparation checklist in an easy form.
