Dry your greens at home before Paryushan in just 10 min. People don’t eat green leafy vegetables during Paryushan because: ✅High microbial life – Leafy greens like spinach, methi, or coriander carry a lot of tiny insects, eggs, and microorganisms hidden in their folds. Consuming them is believed to harm countless living beings, which goes against the Jain principle of ahimsa (non-violence). ✅Multiple lives in one plant – When you pluck or cut leafy greens, you are believed to destroy multiple lives at once (leaves + microorganisms attached). ✅Easily perishable – Greens spoil quickly and encourage microbial growth, which makes them less sattvik during this sacred period of purity and fasting. ✅Focus on simplicity – Paryushan is about minimizing indulgence and eating the most simple, non-harming food. By avoiding greens, Jains consciously practice restraint. ✨So, avoiding greens is a way of practicing ahimsa, satvik eating, and discipline during the holy days. Now you know why leafy greens are avoided in Paryushan 🙏 It’s not a restriction, it’s a practice of ahimsa & simplicity. #ParyushanVibes #SattvikLiving”
