    Had beer, yesterday, 12 hours is pass, can I go for Pooja today and Sparsh god

    2 months ago 55

    Answer

    If you had beer yesterday and you are completely sober now, then you may go for darshan/pooja today in a clean and respectful state. But if there is still any intoxication, smell, dullness, or careless mind, it is better to wait and go only when you are fully clean and steady.

    Explanation

    In Jain Dharma, alcohol is considered unsuitable for spiritual practice because it affects:
    • purity of mind
    • self-control
    • respect in worship

    So there is no fixed “12 hours rule” in Jain tradition. The main point is:

    • you should be fully sober
    • take a bath
    • wear clean clothes
    • go with a respectful and शांत mind

    About touching the idol / “sparsh”:

    • Only do it if your temple tradition allows it
    • Do it only in a proper ritual setting
    • If you are unsure, it is safer to do darshan without touching

    Spiritual Understanding

    Jain worship is done with inner purity, humility, and mindfulness. Even if the body is physically present, पूजा becomes meaningful only when the mind is calm and respectful.

    Takeaway

    If you are fully sober and clean, you can go. If not, better wait and go with complete purity and reverence.
