Can you watch movie in theater in paryushan and what if it's a action or violent movie will it affect my karma

Nikachit (or Nikāchanā) karma is a technical term in Jain philosophy for a type of karma bondage whose results are absolutely inescapable and cannot be altered by any effort, including penance, austerities, or other spiritual practices [4]. Once karma becomes "nikachit," it becomes so firmly fixed that it cannot be separated, transformed, or modified by any means—the karma must be experienced exactly in the form in which it was bound [2]. This is the most inflexible state of karma, contrasting with "nidhatt" karma, which is partially intransigent and can still be altered to some degree [2][5]. The context explains that while ordinary karmas can be atoned for through physical, oral, or spiritual austerities, one must reap the fruit of nikachit karmas without exception [1]. However, there is one important exception: penance can remove nikachit karma in the last birth before liberation [4]. The concept emphasizes that karma results are strictly personal and non-transferable—no other soul can help or share in the results of one's karma [4]. This teaching highlights the importance of human effort (purushārtha) over destiny, showing that while most karma can be altered or diluted through spiritual practice, nikachit karma represents the limit of such control [4][5].

Vedaniya karma is one of the eight types of karma in Jainism, classified under the Aghāti (non-destructive) karmas. It is responsible for creating favorable or unfavorable physical circumstances—such as sickness, terminal illness, hunger, fatigue, accidents, or good sound health and positive physical capability—which give the apparent feeling of pain (Ashātā) or pleasure (Shātā) at the physical level [1][2]. This physical feeling then activates Mohaniya karma to produce happiness (Sukha) and agony (Dukha) at the mental level, indirectly obscuring the soul's blissful nature [1][2]. Vedaniya karma has two main types: Shātā vedaniya (pleasurable sensations) and Ashātā vedaniya (painful sensations) [4][5]. A Kevali (omniscient being) still possesses Vedaniya karma but not Mohaniya karma, so they remain a silent observer of favorable or unfavorable circumstances without interpreting them as joy or sorrow, remaining in a blissful state at all times [1][2]. The word "Vedan" means experience or feeling of pain and pleasure, which is distinct from sorrow/agony and joy/happiness/bliss—though for an average person with strong Mohaniya karma, these are so intermixed that they cannot be differentiated [1].

Based on the context, coffee is not permitted during Ekäsan (Ekashna) in Paryushan. The sources state that during Ekäsan, Biyasan, Ayambil, or Upaväs, one can only drink boiled water between sunrise and sunset [2]. This means that during the Ekäsan fast, where you eat only one meal a day, you are restricted to boiled water as your only beverage, so coffee would not be allowed. Additionally, the context notes that during Paryushan, fasting usually involves complete abstinence from food or drink, though drinking boiled water that has been cooled in the morning is permissible during the daytime [1]. The Kalpa Sutra also specifies that for monks observing various fasting levels during Paryushan, only certain types of water (such as boiled water, water passed through grains, etc.) are permitted as drinks, with no mention of coffee or other beverages [3]. Therefore, if you are observing Ekäsan during Paryushan, you should stick to boiled water only and avoid coffee.

En Paryushan, el perdón (Kshamā) es central porque es la forma de purificar el alma y avanzar espiritualmente. El propósito del festival es "quemar" o deshacerse de los karmas y suprimir las pasiones (ira, ego, engaño y codicia) [4]. Perdonar no es por los demás, sino para liberarnos de la rabia, hostilidad y resentimiento que cargamos; al perdonar, "nos convertimos en uno con la luz de nuestra alma" [1][2]. Es esencial no guardar rencores más allá de un año, por lo que el último día (Samvatsari) es la ocasión anual de arrepentimiento y perdón hacia familia, amigos, enemigos y todos los seres vivos, por daños hechos consciente o inconscientemente [2][3]. El perdón también es una de las diez virtudes inherentes al alma celebradas en Dash Lakshana, y se considera "la virtud de los valientes" (Kshamā Virasya Bhushanam) [5]. Pedir perdón requiere humildad y eliminar el odio; el proceso de deshacerse de karmas comienza pidiendo perdón con sentimientos sinceros y tomando votos de no repetir errores [5]. La práctica culmina con la frase "Michchhāmi Dukkadam" y el deseo: "Perdono a todos los seres vivos, que todos me perdonen; no tengo animosidad hacia nadie" [5].

Darshanavarniya (perception-obscuring) karma is one of the eight principal karmas in Jainism. It obscures the soul's power of general, non-specific perception (Darshan), as opposed to Jnanavarniya karma, which obscures specific knowledge. It has nine subtypes: four that obscure perception (sight, non-sight through other senses and mind, remote perception of objects without senses, and perfect perception) and five related to sleep (easy sleep, deep sleep, sleep while sitting/standing, sleep while walking, and sleepwalking). Its effects include blindness, sensory inadequacy, sleepiness, and swooning [1][2]. Nirjara is the process of exhausting or shedding accumulated karma. It occurs in two ways: Akam Nirjara, where karma naturally produces results and is exhausted, though new karma then pours in; and Sakam Nirjara, the real penance, where one destroys karma before maturity through rigorous external penance (fasting, reduced food, controlling desires, giving up tasty food, solitude, and tolerating physical pain) and internal penance (repentance, humility, selfless service, study, meditation, and Kayotsarga) [4]. The Tattvartha Sutra notes that nirjara is a partial annihilation of karmic bondage and an integral part of moksha; its degree increases progressively across ten spiritual states, from samyak-drsti to the omniscient jina, with each later state having an asankhyata (innumerable) times greater nirjara than the earlier one [3].

The primary causes of Jñānāvarṇīya (knowledge-obscuring) karma are six defiled tendencies or actions directed toward knowledge (jñāna), its possessor, or its means [1]: 1. **Jealousy (Īrṣyā)** – feeling envious of knowledge, of a learned person, or of the means of acquiring knowledge. 2. **Concealment (Antardhāna)** – when asked for knowledge or its means, falsely claiming "I do not know" or "I do not have it" from a defiled motive. 3. **Ungenerosity (Asatkāra)** – refusing to share knowledge that is ripe and fit to be communicated, even when a competent receiver is present. 4. **Obstruction (Upaghāta)** – impeding someone's effort to receive knowledge. 5. **Denial (Apavāda)** – denying through speech or bodily gesture that someone is communicating knowledge. 6. **Accusation (Pariṣaha)** – leveling false accusations against a speaker who has made a proper statement, due to one's own perverse intellect. These same six causes also apply to darśana (perception/indeterminate cognition) when directed toward perception, its possessor, or its means [1]. In general, all karma bondage shares the common causes of yoga (activities of body, speech, and mind) and kaṣāya (passions like anger, ego, deceit, and greed), but the specific causes above are what particularly bind Jñānāvarṇīya karma [1][4].
