Answer

During Paryushan Parv, it is generally better to avoid drinking lassi from a shop, even if it is freshly made.

Explanation

In Jain Dharma, Paryushan is a time of increased purity, self-control, and carefulness in food habits. Shop-made lassi may involve concerns such as:

• Uncertainty about when the curd was prepared
• Possible use of stored or old curd
• Uncertainty about cleanliness and filtering
• Possibility of added ingredients like ice, flavoring, or preservatives
• Lack of control over preparation methods

Even if the lassi is made fresh in front of you, the curd itself may not be freshly prepared according to Jain dietary discipline.

Spiritual Understanding

Paryushan is not only about avoiding certain foods, but about increasing jagruti — awareness — and reducing carelessness. When there is doubt about food purity, Jain practice usually encourages choosing the safer and more restrained option.

Takeaway

If you are observing Paryushan sincerely, it is best to avoid shop lassi. If needed, drink only home-prepared lassi made with proper care according to your family’s Jain tradition and guidance from your guru or elders.
