Can we drink lassi at night time
20
Answer
In Jain Dharma, it is generally advised to avoid drinking lassi at night, especially after sunset.
Explanation
Lassi is made from curd/yogurt, and curd is usually considered unsuitable at night in traditional Jain practice. Also, Jain discipline encourages avoiding food and drinks after sunset because:
- There is greater possibility of harming tiny living beings.
- Digestion is considered weaker at night.
- It supports self-control and mindful eating.
If someone follows strict Jain conduct, they should avoid lassi after sunset.
Spiritual Understanding
Jain Dharma teaches carefulness in eating and drinking. Avoiding night eating and unsuitable foods helps reduce himsa and increases discipline.
Takeaway
It is better not to drink lassi at night. If you follow Jain rules, avoid it after sunset.
