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