A practical daily rhythm

  • Begin the day with cleanliness, a quiet prayer and Saranaghosham.
  • Eat simple vegetarian food in keeping with your observance.
  • Observe brahmacharyam and avoid alcohol, tobacco and other intoxicants.
  • Practise patience, truthful speech and care for others at work and home.
  • Set aside an evening prayer time; reflect on the day before resting.

Let discipline shape conduct

Avoid anger, harsh speech, needless arguments and ostentation. Keep your home and shared spaces clean. Participate in bhajan or service when possible without neglecting responsibilities.

When circumstances change

Discuss missed observances or practical difficulties with your Guruswamy. Do not stop prescribed medication or replace needed care with fasting. An online checklist cannot resolve every personal circumstance.
