Ekasana, biyasana means ?
4
Answer
In Jain Dharma:
- Ekasana means eating only once in a day, in one sitting.
- Biyasana / Beasana means eating only twice in a day, in two sittings.
Explanation
- In Ekasana, a person takes food one time during the day and avoids eating again.
- In Biyasana, a person may eat two times during the day, but not more than that.
These are forms of Jain tap and self-discipline. They help reduce attachment to taste, control desires, and support spiritual focus.
Takeaway
Ekasana = one meal in one sitting.
Biyasana = two meals in two sittings.
