Answer

What you described sounds like a tapasya sequence:

• 1 Upvas + Beyasna
• 2 Upvas + Beyasna
• 3 Upvas

This means you are gradually increasing austerity, ending with 3 continuous Upvas.

Explanation

In Jain practice:

• Upvas means fasting for the whole day, traditionally without food. Water rules may vary according to one’s vow and tradition.
• Beyasna means eating only twice in the day, within proper Jain dietary discipline.

So your pattern may be understood as:

• First stage: one day Upvas, then Beyasna
• Second stage: two days Upvas, then Beyasna
• Final stage: three Upvas

Spiritual Understanding

Such tapasya is meaningful when done with:

• Samyag bhav — pure inner intention
• Ahimsa — care toward all living beings
• Atma-chintan — reflection on the soul
• Control over taste and attachment
• Pratikraman, forgiveness, and humility

In Jain Dharma, fasting is not only about not eating. Its true purpose is to reduce attachment, passions, and dependency on the body.

Takeaway

This is a good tapasya pattern if done with proper health, guidance, and peaceful inner feelings. The value of tapasya comes from bhav, not only from the number of fasts.
