    Can we drink water after samatsari orayikaman

    3 hrs ago 3

    Answer

    Yes, after Samvatsari Pratikraman is completed, you may drink water if your fast or vow allows it.

    Explanation

    It depends on what tap / pachchakkhan you have taken:

    • If you are doing Upvas: Traditionally, water is taken only according to the limits of your vow and timing, often after proper completion or next-day parna depending on the pachchakkhan.
    • If you have taken Chauvihar: You should not drink water after sunset/night until the vow period ends.
    • If you have taken Tivihar: Water may be allowed, but food is not.
    • If you have not taken a water-related restriction: Drinking water after Pratikraman is generally allowed.

    Spiritual Understanding

    Samvatsari Pratikraman is a sacred practice of repentance, forgiveness, and purification. The key is to follow the specific vow you accepted sincerely and carefully.

    Takeaway

    You can drink water after Samvatsari Pratikraman only if it does not break your pachchakkhan. If unsure, it is best to ask your Guru Maharaj, Sadhviji, or local Jain elder who knows your vow.
