This page says plainly what you can and cannot rely on here. It applies to every page, calendar and tool on Nidarshana Vedh Jain.
Tradition and interpretation, not advice
The pages explain Jain practice, festivals, the calendar and the way Jain thought reads the birth chart. They are traditional knowledge and our interpretation of it, written for understanding. They are not professional advice of any kind. They are also not a ruling on how you should practise, and they do not replace the guidance of your own guru, sangh or family tradition.
Calendars, tithis and timings
Tithi, panchang, muhurta, pachkhan and festival dates here are computed for a stated place and method. Jain communities and traditions do not always keep the same dates or the same rules, and a computed time can be wrong for your place. For fasts, vows and religious observance, please check with your own sangh or guru before you rely on a date on this site.
Please ask the right professional
- Health. Nothing here diagnoses or treats anything. Fasting and austerities can affect health, and anyone who is unwell, pregnant, elderly or on medicine should ask a doctor first. Please see a doctor for any health concern.
- Money and law. Nothing here is financial, investment or legal advice. Decisions about money, property, contracts, work or marriage deserve a qualified professional.
No guarantees
No reading, muhurta, remedy or tool result on this site guarantees an outcome. A chart is read here as a sign to act on, not a fate to fear, and it cannot tell you what will happen.
If you are struggling
If you are struggling, talk to a person before a chart. In India, Tele-MANAS is free and open around the clock on 14416, and 14446 is the national de-addiction helpline. Elsewhere, a doctor or your local emergency number.
