(1 ghari). A few sãdhakas permit the use of diluted lime water from the top of a lime solution. This is mixed in a pot with living potable water and stirred well. It becomes non-living dhovana after 25-30 minutes. In short, it is recommended that to overcome the state of uncertainly about the quantity and coarseness, the Jain samaj should now resort to modern equipments and techniques to quantify these parameter for 100% guaranteed non-living dhovana. In that condition, such dhovana, which are non-blemish, more non-violent and can be universally available, can provide perfect alternative to boiled water. Such experiments have to be conducted in the light of the recent research on water-bodied living-beings. The Jain Society has to change its mindset and show its commitment to Scientific Philosophy and Non-violence.
