household jobs for jain followers

In Jain Dharma, a householder Jain follower (श्रावक / श्राविका) should live with ahimsa, truth, restraint, and contentment while doing daily household responsibilities. Common household duties include:

• Waking up early and remembering the Navkar Mantra
• Doing personal and family care with purity and discipline
• Earning livelihood honestly without हिंसा, fraud, or cheating
• Avoiding harmful work that causes injury to living beings
• Cooking and eating with care, avoiding waste and violence
• Serving parents, spouse, children, and guests respectfully
• Taking care of the home in a clean and disciplined way
• Practicing limited possession and simple living
• Following daily vows as much as possible
• Doing pratikraman, samayik, and other spiritual practices
• Supporting monks, nuns, and the Jain sangh with devotion
• Giving charity and helping the needy with compassion

In Jain view, household life is not only work for livelihood, but also an opportunity for spiritual discipline while living in the world.
