can film Bal Sadhu change clothes process in diksha?if Guru Bhagwant and sangh gree
Answer
No, the process of a Bal Sadhu changing clothes during Diksha should generally not be filmed, even if Guru Bhagwant and Sangh agree.
Diksha is a deeply sacred and spiritual event, not a public performance. Certain parts of the Diksha process are meant to be observed with dignity, modesty, and restraint.
Explanation
In Jain Dharma, Diksha means renunciation of worldly life and entry into sadhu/sadhvi life. During this process:
- The person is leaving behind worldly identity.
- The act involves deep inner detachment.
- Modesty and maryada must be maintained.
- A child’s dignity and privacy must be especially protected.
Even if permission is given, filming the changing of clothes can create concerns about:
- Modesty
- Privacy
- Spiritual seriousness
- Respect for Diksha maryada
- Possible misuse or circulation of the video
Spiritual Understanding
Diksha is about giving up attachment, ego, body-consciousness, and worldly display. Filming sensitive moments may unintentionally turn a sacred act into something external and visual, rather than internal and spiritual.
In Jain tradition, one should follow not only formal permission, but also lajja, vinay, maryada, and vivek.
Takeaway
You may film public and appropriate parts of the Diksha ceremony if Guru Bhagwant permits, but the clothes-changing process of a Bal Sadhu should be kept private and not filmed. In such matters, choose the path of maximum modesty, respect, and protection.
