these Navpads

In the 'Shreepal Raja no
Ras' (The Legend of King Shreepal), Yashovijayji Maharaj Saheb says that "The Jinas have shown us countless techniques to manifest the God within us, but verily out of all those the worship of the Navpads is considered to be the highest"
Ayambil is observed to achieve victory over taste - "Life is not for eating, but food is taken to
maintain the life."
The food eaten during Ayambil
is like a detoxification & beneficial for one's health, It also helps reduce one's carbon & himsa footprint
