    Motichur ladu can eat preservable

    59 minutes ago 2

    Answer

    If you are asking whether Motichur Laddu can be eaten during Paryushan / Jain fasting rules, then it depends on how it is made and stored.

    Generally, a Jain should avoid Motichur Laddu if it contains:

    • Preservatives
    • Artificial colors or unknown additives
    • Stale or old ingredients
    • Ingredients prepared at night or stored for too long
    • Any non-Jain ingredient

    Explanation

    In Jain Dharma, food should be as pure, fresh, and non-violent as possible. Preserved or packaged sweets may contain additives, chemicals, or ingredients whose preparation process is not clear.

    If the Motichur Laddu is:

    • Freshly made
    • Made before sunset
    • Made with Jain-approved ingredients
    • Without preservatives
    • Consumed within proper time according to your family or sect’s practice

    then many Jain families may consider it acceptable in regular days.

    Spiritual Understanding

    Jain food discipline is not only about ingredients. It is also about reducing harm, avoiding carelessness, and keeping the mind pure. During Paryushan, Ayambil, Upvas, or other tapasya, sweets like laddu are usually avoided unless your specific vow allows them.

    Takeaway

    Motichur Laddu with preservatives should generally be avoided from a strict Jain perspective. Fresh, preservative-free, Jain-prepared laddu may be acceptable on regular days, depending on your tradition and personal vows.
