Answer

If you mean Diksha in Jain Dharma:

• After Diksha, Jain monks and nuns do not use social media.
• During the Diksha ceremony, the person taking Diksha may wear special ceremonial clothes, sometimes grand traditional clothes depending on community custom, but after Diksha they give up such clothing and ornaments.

Explanation

Diksha means renouncing worldly life and accepting the disciplined life of a sadhu or sadhvi. After Diksha, the person gives up worldly attachments such as:

• possessions
• fashion and decoration
• social media and entertainment
• personal luxury
• ordinary family and social life

So, using Instagram, TikTok, Snapchat, YouTube for personal entertainment or social interaction would not fit the life of a Jain monk or nun.

Regarding huge lehengas: before the actual renunciation, some families and communities may dress the Diksharthi in beautiful traditional clothes for the Varghoda or pre-Diksha celebration. This is part of social and cultural celebration, not the monk/nun life itself.

At the actual point of renunciation, the Diksharthi gives up worldly dress, ornaments, and decoration, and accepts the simple clothing and discipline of the ascetic path according to their Jain tradition.

Spiritual Understanding

The purpose of Diksha is not decoration or celebration. Its true meaning is:

• letting go of attachment
• living with simplicity
• practicing self-control
• walking the path of liberation

Takeaway

Before Diksha, there may be ceremonial clothing according to family and community custom. But after Diksha, social media, fashion, luxury, and worldly decoration are renounced.
