Answer

Agar aap kandmool / root vegetables ki baat kar rahe hain, to Jain Dharma mein iske peeche sirf tradition nahi, balki practical reasoning bhi hai. Jain tradition mein root vegetables ko avoid karna ahimsa aur living beings ko kam se kam harm pahunchane ke principle se juda hua hai. ( jainknowledge.com)

Explanation

Scientific ya practical angle se dekhein to root vegetables zameen ke andar ugte hain aur unhe harvest karne par poora plant aksar uproot hota hai. Zameen ke roots ke aas-paas ka hissa, yani rhizosphere, microbes se bahut rich hota hai, aur roots soil life ko support karti hain. Isliye root crops nikalte waqt soil ecosystem ka disturbance zyada hota hai. Yeh point modern botany aur soil science se bhi align karta hai. ( open.edu)

Spiritual Understanding

Jain drishti mein main baat subtle himsa ko bhi kam karna hai. Isliye kandmool ka niyam sirf “old custom” nahi, balki ek aisa disciplined practice hai jo ahimsa, self-control, aur awareness ko strong karta hai. Jain sources bhi root vegetables ko strict Jain dietary principles se bahar rakhte hain. ( jainknowledge.com)

Takeaway

Short answer: kandmool ke peeche tradition bhi hai aur science/practical reasoning bhi. Jain Dharma mein tradition ka base ahimsa hai, aur practical side mein soil-life aur whole-plant uprooting ka aspect support karta hai. ( jainknowledge.com)
