Answer

Tela ka pāraṇā means the proper way of ending a Tela tapasya, which is a Jain fast observed for three continuous days.

In Jain practice, pāraṇā should be done respectfully, with inner purity, gratitude, and control over taste.

Explanation

A general way to do Tela pāraṇā is:

• First, complete the tapasya with a peaceful and devotional mind.
• Do Namaskār Mahāmantra and remember Arihant, Siddha, Āchārya, Upādhyāy, and Sādhu Bhagwant.
• If possible, take blessings or guidance from Guru Bhagwant or a knowledgeable elder.
• Do pāraṇā at the proper time, according to your Jain tradition and local practice.
• Break the fast with simple, suitable food or drink as advised in your tradition.
• Avoid greed, excitement, or overeating after the fast.

Spiritual Understanding

The purpose of Tela is not only to remain without food, but to reduce attachment to the body and taste. Therefore, pāraṇā should also be done with saṃyam, humility, and awareness.

Takeaway

Tela ka pāraṇā should be simple, disciplined, and devotional. If you are doing it for the first time, it is best to follow the guidance of your Guru Bhagwant or local Jain sangh tradition.
