Subject: [JainVegans] Re: Permitted fruits and vegetables?


 
Hi!

My name is Constantin and I'm from France. Vanessa and I are actually working on
a vegan international project: "Eating together". We need to list common
denominators to most food cultures, including jain food culture.

Very many thanks to Nishma for letting me join the forum and to Vanessa for
asking this very useful question:

"is there a list of vegan foods that are OK for strict jains?"

The very kind answers tend to explain that jainism may not be about strict
rules. Ahimsa seems to be the "logic" behind every choice, but preparing a meal
that everyone can eat together may require a more practicle list of ingedients.

I'm not sure about how to proceed but here I go. Do you know of a kind and
knowledgeable jain expert who could help us sorting which plant foods are the
"least worse ahimsa wise", out of the folowing wikipedia lists for example?

Don't get scared! The length of this list is deliberatly crazy to show how
difficult it is for friendly ignorants like me to choose ingedients that would
least offense ahimsa. Very many friendly thanks in advance for helping me find a
way to reliable information on this very important topic.

Bonne soiree,

Constantin

As a general rule of thumb, we cannot eat any non-green plants or roots.

Thus eggplants and beets are out of the diet. Potatoes, Sweet potatoes/
Yams etc are out as well! Onions, Garlic, ginger (if fresh) are also
prohibited.

Spinach is forbidden (guess what no e-Coli :) )

More than that, given seasonal nature of vegetables, many vegetables are
not permitted beyond it's season.


This is just tip of the iceberg!

Dear all,

Jai Jinendra,

I was wondering if anyone could please tell me, first of all, what does
Tapagachch mean and, secondly, how does it differ from the other gachchas of the
Shvetambara Murtipujaka Sampradaya?

Thank you.

Warm Regards,

Justin

Jai Jinendra,

Your Query: "I was wondering if anyone could please tell me, first of all, what
does Tapagachch mean and, secondly, how does it differ from the other gachchas
of the Shvetambara Murtipujaka Sampradaya?"

My Solution: "Try to focus only on 'Atman' irrespective of any bifurcation which
you see around you. 'Jinendra' means: 'Jin+Indriyan=Those who have won Indriya',
that's all!" Here, it is not mentioned by Jinendra that any sort of partition
should be there. But since it is Pancham Kaal (no proof required, I guess),
people have segregated the Main Religion which is: 'To win Indriya' and the
principles have been named as 'Jainism', tha't over. Like you go to Assam: you
remains you, you to go to Delhi: you remains you; similarly, whether you go in
'Tapagachch' or and other 'Gachch', you would have to win the Indriya, which is
the religion.

Note: During Moksh of Jinedra, there is no cloth on their body.

Hope this would help you understand the real meaning of 'Jainism' aka
'Jinedranism'.

Jai Jinendra.

Vikas

Can any one tell me where exactly is the diksha taking place and when

can any one pls tell me where is the diksha being taken outside india can any
one pls reply urgently i need to give information to maharaj saheb

Jai Jinendra Akas,

Thank you for your wise reply, I appreciate it. I do wish that all of us Jains
could unite, despite the differences in the sects. There is room for everyone's
views; This is called anekantavada. I don't understand why everyone sticks to
their sectarian affiliation so rigidly. I read books/articles/Web sites from
both Shvetambara and Digambara sources. I know the main thing is to follow the
Jina's teachings. Neither Digambara nor Shvetambara sects are totally wrong, but
both are right in the sense that the philosophy and doctrine are the same, and
that's the point we need to unite on.

Warm Regards,

Justin

Jai Jinendra,

Manish ji and Gunno ji have been translation many verses nicely. Thank you.

Some verses have been explained very nicely with stories. My question is:
Is the copyright link in the translation emails applicable for the whole
email (translation + story) or only for the translation part? Please let me
know... If it's applicable for only translation, then I will share only the
stories with others.

By the way, we can access the emails without logging in using the yahoo
group links...
Example: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/jainlist/message/12555

Is this expected? If expected, is it okay to share these links directly
with others even when they contain copyright information?


Thanks,
Abhijith D.A.
