    Answer

    If you are menstruating, even if the flow is very little, it is traditionally considered appropriate not to touch, carry, or move Jinvaani / Jain scriptures yourself.

    Please request a family member, relative, or another Jain shravak/shravika who is in a clean state to respectfully move the Jinvaani for you.

    What You Can Do

    • Keep the Jinvaani in a clean, elevated, and respectful place until someone can move it.
    • Do not place it directly on the floor.
    • Cover it respectfully with a clean cloth if needed.
    • Ask someone else to move it with clean hands and proper reverence.
    • If moving is urgent, prioritize protecting the Jinvaani from damage, but avoid touching it yourself if possible.

    Spiritual Understanding

    In Jain tradition, Jinvaani is regarded with great reverence because it contains the teachings of Arihant Bhagwan and the path of liberation. During menstruation, many Jain families and traditions observe certain maryada regarding touching scriptures, puja items, and temple-related objects.

    Even if menstruation is very light, the traditional maryada is generally followed until the period is fully over and proper cleanliness is observed.

    Takeaway

    Since you are having even little menstruation, the safest and most respectful option is: do not move Jinvaani yourself; ask someone else to move it respectfully.
