Gujarati jains call it 'Santharo*' fast till death. It was manifested in second story of the film "Ship of Theseus", the maker Anand Gandhi himself is Gujju Jain. *In Jainism, santhara refers to a practice of fasting culminating into one's eventual demise
Brinjal and ginger also not allowed in Jainism. Even raw turmeric is not allowed only the dried-up ginger is allowed and there are explanations for that. Just sharing......
One I know a Family who will not use electricity to heat water but coal or fire wood and they are Jain's in Mumbai. Two Fasting Menu means you have different types of Dishes than the regular ones.
Devdutt is a star. Sheer brilliance. In conversation with Krish, both shine complementarily. Kudos to the unsung heroes who brought these two stellar minds together.
The anchor is very ignorant and is a bit condescending to the vegetarian people, Jainism says that the grass, plants are Ekindriya Jeev Plants literally doesnt have brain to feel the pain while we boil or roast them, but Animals are tortured for days for our consumption and they do have brain, they feel the pain, they feel emotions unlike plants. But Devdutt never mentions this fact that Jainism says coz he is hardcore Nonvegetarian guy.
both are dumb guys trying to play intellectual ...... mentioned all fake stories ........hindu history is not mythology .......they are anti hindus pretending to be intellectual........clearly on an agenda
Who said that? That time even hindi wasnt there, in gita it is written diff he says zyada na khaye na kum khaye to live a healthy life but food is bhog so bhakti without it is pure one
Fasting to death or not eating roots is a super weird idea which only rich urban guys could have come up with... All food is violence...whether on plants or animals. Jain beliefs and their slow seepage into some parts of hinduism is extreme. Eating moderately and food for everyone as in Sikhism or Buddha's middle path is the sensible way....
Omelet and troubling living creatures for food and selfish things is not the part of jain tradition,and we are proud of it. Though what non voilance means is very detailed idea which you will not understand and leaving nonveg is just screaming layer of becoming human being. Leaving troubling animals doesn't make you jain,it only makes you human being,animals don't understand what's right or wrong. So don't dare to insult jain concept of Ahinsa.
