JAINISM----14 NIYAM AND 3 MANORATH---------!!!------PART--2.

Friends from today's full moon day "Chaturmas-2019 started. On
this auspicious day. let me complete second part of details.It can help devotees to follow it in Chaturmas. The details of fourteen Niyam.

1-Sachit--We know all intakes of food are of 2 types. One is Sachit
and second is Achit. Sachit means live and Achit means non living.
Vegetables, fruits. salt, drinking water are few examples of it. It is
true that for  eating or cooking we have to cut them and make them
non-living. For own living for human it is unavoidable. As such we
can limit the quantum of them for daily consumption. For example
one can take a vow for a day not to exceed consumption of  2 fruits,
3 vegetables and total 10 liter water for drinking and other use. One
can use pulses and sprout to replace vegetables in  Chaturmas yearly.

2.-Dravya-It various intakes based on same taste. One can make taste wise categories and fix the eatables Roti, Dal, rice. dry fruit etc.
3-Vigay-They are consumables which add to the strength of body, They are honey. butter, milk, curd, cream or Ghee, oil. sugar, sweet.
It is believed that Vigay are harmful for basic "Bhramacharyavrata".
4.-Panni--It refers footwear and socks items used to protect feet.
5.-Tambol-It refers to "Mukhwas"-Supari, Dhanadal. Sop, Paan etc.
6.-Vatsra-It means clothes. One can fix limit for it covering night
wears. For ladies fixing it can be on yearly basis for Sarees.

7.Kusum.-It  covers fragrance and smell related items like flowers,
 and various types of scent. Not to pluck any flower can be covered.
8.-Vahan-It refers vehicles. One can classify them as daily need and
random use like plane, ship and train .For cars, number can be taken.
Use of public transport auto, bus ,trains should be determined.

9.--Shayan-It covers material used for sleeping-bed, pillow. blanket.
10.-Vilepan--It covers cosmetics used for body cream. powder etc.
11.-Bramacharya-It is limitation of relationship with own partner.
12.-Disha-It covers limitation of 6 directions including upward and
downward movement. People living in multistory flats may need it
more for upward. Same is case with going to basement direction. In all there are six main directions four main, upward and downward.
13-Snan-It refers water and item used for bath. Swimmers need to
take more limit. If one has habit of two time bath more care needed.
14.-Bhojan-From what time from morning eating food will start and when to end. Diabetics may need frequent intakes. Tea, milk and coffee can be provided separately as per own usual needs.
If we follow these 14 Niyam specially food before sunset, there is no need for visit to doctors or weight management program. All of
it can bring discipline to our life by simple living style
One can use the print of following table for day to day Pachkhans.      One can also use silver ring in any finger  for taking daily vow. With Gurudeo  presence, he can say with right finger ring I will not eat any thing, For putting anything in mouth ,I will say Navkar and eat. On completion I will change again shift ring for easy reminders. 
These are main classification.9 additional category can be added. It
can cover use of soil, water, fire or similar energy. air or fan and air
conditioners, plant and vegetables, dinner after sunset. use of weapon
,use of stationary and use for weapons for farming household tools.

The idea behind all such Niyam or Pachkhan is to live life with a
predefined limit. Less actions can provide lesser chances of sins.
It helps to move near our last goal to leave all possessions It makes
one to control taste for variety of food, clothing and body comforts.
One can read Aagam's chapter Anandsrawak from Upasakdashang
Sutra to get details of all Pachkhans. It deal with 10 best Shrawaks.
