    Is this ok to boil water @5 am to carry out in morning school

    12 months ago 46

    Short answer: If 5:00 am is before sunrise where you live, it’s better not to boil then. In Jain practice, using fire in darkness is avoided to prevent himsa of night‑active beings.

    Simple, practical way:

    • Boil the water in daylight (after sunrise and before sunset), ideally the previous day.
    • Filter with a clean, tightly woven cloth or chhannu.
    • Cool, cover, and store in a clean vessel. Carry it to school in the morning.
    • Try to use it within a day. Do not keep re‑boiling the same water.

    Tradition notes:

    • Both Shvetambar and Digambar traditions encourage preparing drinking water in daylight only.
    • Monks follow a strict “daylight‑prepared, limited‑time use” rule; householders follow the same spirit as far as possible.
