With 4 th day my period can I perform samayik
Quick Answer
According to Jain customs, during menstruation, women traditionally avoid certain religious activities like visiting the derasar or performing some rituals. However, performing Samayik—which is a practice of equanimity, meditation, and self-discipline—can be done with discretion.
On the 4th day of your period, if you feel physically comfortable and have observed personal cleanliness (such as having bathed), many Jain traditions allow you to perform Samayik at home. Since Samayik is an internal spiritual practice focusing on self-purification and reflection, it is generally considered acceptable during menstruation, especially when done privately at home.
If you are following a particular community or sect's guidelines, you may wish to consult a knowledgeable elder or monk for specific advice. But broadly, performing Samayik at home on the 4th day of your period is permissible.
