Paryushana is the most important annual holy event for Jains and is usually celebrated in August or September in Lunisolar Hindu calendar, the Samvatsari Day celebrated on Bhadrapad Shukla 5 by both Shwetambar and Digambar sects. Jains increase their level of spiritual intensity using fasting and prayer/meditation. copied from https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pary...na

If someone wants to know more details: Jains who eat leafy vegetables avoid even them during the Paryushan.

All logic of eating which food and which food item not to be eaten is science based.

The basic principles is non-violence and how one can minimise the violence in their life. Hence, tiers are made for classifying life based on number of senses. Seeds typically have only 1 sense, plants have 2-3 sense, animals and humans have 5 senses. Higher the number of senses, the more evolved the life form, hence one needs to minimise/remove the intake of higher number of senses life forms.

Adding to this... Lots of religious activities is also observed like total fasting (no food) throughout the day or even throughout the festival.... Many people avoid eating not only leafy vegetables but also root vegetables like potato and herbs like ginger

True. Fasting even eliminates the violence which happens due to eating life forms having a single sense. The essence of Jainism is increasing non-violence and when you look at your life in that sense, it prompts you to cut off ties with this material world which is a volcano of life and death. Maya se mukti (freedom from this illusionary world).

Paryushan Parva is celebrated to purify our soul by staying closer to our own soul, to look at our own faults, to ask for forgiveness for the mistakes that we have committed and take vows to minimize our faults in the future.

Does it have a significant effect on your Haeomglobin, Vitamins D & B12 & Mineral (Fe, Ca etc.) levels. Can you share from a recent blood test of someone who sincerely avoids all these?

Atleast for me no effect on heomoglobin. it depends on what else u eat which u are allowed to have. Some of my family members do have B12 D3 issue but everyone doesnot face this.

Best part is that health issues are less if we follow what is told to be followed. Best thing is experience is not eating after sunset which makes a person not fall ill regularly.

Bigotry,intolerance and supremacism showcased by people who hate every Indic thing and believe that infidels are inferior.Instead of celebrating a festival and demonstrating inclusivity they are downvoting it.What a pity! 😪

Technically right with respect to paryusan and samvatsari. But asking for forgiveness for our behavior through " mind & heart , speech, body' is advisable in every second in Jainism. They do 'pratikaman' every day to do this.

My mom has not eaten potatoes, onions & the things which we avoid from Last 7 Yrs. Her health results are constant, a little deficiency in vitamins (especially B12) which generally all women have plus the age factor.
To summarize, no it doesn't have any significant effect on mentioned parameters (Leaving aside the n number of fasting days she have throughout the paryushan)

PS - Again it's person to person with different body types.

Jai Jinendra & Happy Paryushana Parva to everyone🙏🏻

Bhai, one small curiosity. You said you and your family are not considering onion, ginger, garlic, potatoes etc in your diet since last 7 years. What was the turning point in your life that inspired you to change your diet? Please share your experience. 🙂🙂🙂🙂
