Answer

During Beyashana, brushing teeth is generally not done after sunrise, because it may involve:

• Use of water unnecessarily
• Possible harm to minute living beings
• Disturbance to the discipline and purity of the tapasya

If needed, one should brush before sunrise, depending on one’s family tradition and guidance from elders or Guru Bhagwant.

Takeaway

For Beyashana, it is best to maintain simplicity and restraint. If unsure, follow your Guru’s guidance or your community’s accepted practice.
