Jainism is a very practical religion, which helps us in everyday affairs of life. The approach of Jainism is never superstitious but always scientific. In terms of ritual, the canonical texts outline Six Essentials (Shad Aavashyakas) for the monastic community to observe but which have also been recommended to the laity. These rituals are not monotonous or senseless activities, but each one has deep meant behind them. The rituals which are must, are called Essentials (Awashyak), meant for Ascetics and Householders. It is widely accepted that both the Digambaras and Svetambaras have “Aavashyakaa” lists. Through this monograph, the author elaborates on the conduct and moral discipline, according to the six essentials described in the scriptures, for ascetics and lay people comprehensively.
