Answer

Doing 11 upwas is a very significant tapasya. If you broke it on the 12th day, then traditionally it means you completed 11 upwas, and the 12th day became your parna day.

Explanation

In Jain Dharma, an upwas is counted by the day on which you observe the fast. If you fasted fully for 11 days and then took food or drink on the 12th day, then your tapasya is generally understood as 11 upwas completed.

The 12th day is normally when parna is done, meaning the fast is respectfully concluded.

Spiritual Understanding

The value of tapasya is not only in the number of days, but also in:

• Purity of intention
• Self-control
• Humility
• Forgiveness
• Detachment from taste and comfort

If there was any mistake in the method of parna or if you had taken a specific vow for 12 upwas, then it is best to do pratikraman, ask for forgiveness, and consult your Guru Maharaj Saheb / Sadhviji / knowledgeable elder according to your tradition.

Takeaway

You should respectfully consider that you completed 11 upwas. Do not feel discouraged. Maintain humility, do pratikraman if needed, and continue your spiritual path with devotion.
