Fruits are allowed in biyasna
2
Answer
Yes, fruits are generally allowed in Biyasna, but it depends on the specific niyam, tradition, and guidance of one’s guru or family practice.
Explanation
In Biyasna, one eats only twice in a day, usually within proper Jain dietary rules. Commonly allowed items may include:
- Simple Jain food
- Fruits
- Dry fruits, if permitted by one’s niyam
- Boiled or suitable items according to Jain rules
However, some people take stricter Biyasna niyam where they may avoid certain fruits or limit food further.
Spiritual Understanding
The purpose of Biyasna is not only eating twice, but practicing:
- Restraint over taste
- Discipline in food habits
- Reduction of attachment
- Greater awareness of the soul
Takeaway
Fruits are usually allowed in Biyasna, but follow the rule as taught by your guru, elder, or local Jain tradition, because tapasya niyams can vary.
