    Biyasana 2 meals only BREAKFAST and lunch

    an hour ago 1

    Answer

    In Jain practice, Biyasana generally means eating only two times in a day, while observing restraint in food.

    If you take only:

    • Breakfast
    • Lunch

    and do not eat anything after that, it can be considered Biyasana, provided it follows the discipline accepted in your family, Guru-parampara, or Jain tradition.

    Explanation

    The main idea of Biyasana is not merely “two meals,” but limiting food intake with self-control.

    Commonly, one should avoid:

    • Eating a third time
    • Snacking between meals
    • Eating after the decided meals
    • Careless indulgence in taste

    Water rules may vary depending on the tradition and the specific vow being observed, so it is best to follow the guidance of your Guru or elders.

    Spiritual Understanding

    Biyasana helps reduce attachment to food and taste. It supports:

    • Sanyam — self-restraint
    • Tap — austerity
    • Awareness in eating
    • Control over desires

    Takeaway

    Yes, breakfast and lunch only can be Biyasana if you do not eat again afterward and observe it with proper Jain discipline and intention.
