    Do stanakvasi do fasting on beans last day ??

    2 hrs ago 1

    Answer

    In the Sthanakvasi Jain tradition, there is no universal rule that everyone must fast “on beans” on the last day.

    If you mean eating only beans / pulses on the last day before or after a fast, that is usually a local family or community practice, not a standard rule for all Sthanakvasi Jains.

    Explanation

    Sthanakvasi Jains commonly observe fasting and austerities such as:

    • Upvas – complete fast, usually without food
    • Ayambil – very simple, tasteless food once a day
    • Ekasana – eating once in one sitting
    • Beasana – eating twice in the day

    Rules can vary depending on:

    • the type of fast,
    • family tradition,
    • local sangh practice,
    • guidance of a sadhu, sadhviji, or elder.

    In Jain practice, many people avoid certain foods during tapasya, and the focus is on simplicity, restraint, non-attachment, and discipline, not on a required “beans last day” rule.

    Takeaway

    Sthanakvasi Jains do fast, but “beans on the last day” is not a universal Sthanakvasi rule. It is best to ask your family elder or local Sthanakvasi guru/sangh what specific practice they follow.
