Can I do this even during paryushan
1
Answer
Yes, but it depends on what “this” refers to.
During Paryushan, Jain Dharma encourages greater purity, restraint, forgiveness, self-discipline, and spiritual focus. So any activity that supports these values is generally appropriate, while activities involving violence, indulgence, anger, carelessness, or unnecessary worldly enjoyment should be avoided or reduced.
Explanation
During Paryushan, Jains commonly focus more on:
- Samayik and meditation
- Pratikraman
- Swadhyay — study of Jain teachings
- Tapasya — fasting or other austerities according to capacity
- Ahimsa, restraint, and simplicity
- Kshamapana — asking forgiveness
If the activity is harmless, necessary, and done with awareness, it may be acceptable. If it increases attachment, carelessness, violence, or indulgence, it is better avoided during Paryushan.
Takeaway
Please tell me what specific activity you mean by “this,” and I can answer more clearly according to Jain principles.
