Digambaras/Jainism regarding nudity of men?

Why do the Damara's of Jain Samar (Society) find it social to remain naked. What if someone else feel bad about it or feel ashamed of, which is quiet natural to come and that's why we are so called, the human being.

Why any of the man on this living planet are not taken care of like women are. The great Mahavira, in what manner came to the conclusion that men is absolutely free from shame and other social values that women made of.

Will Damara's ever come to know that their culture is completely unsocial which they do in the name of non-violence and that they have never understood completely the meaning & importance of the emotions or feelings of others.

God has made this society and has created values in it which Jainism are entirely destitute of. In what manner they claim that they follow non-violence, wherein they don't even have an idea of other beliefs and how to respects their emotions.

You should ask them.

Ghandi was a Jain and he always slept with naked women at nights:

may be they want to show off what they have

there is nothing wrong in nudity.It is sign of detachment of mind and body.

This is a very funny and trivial question. but answer is very serious and crucial.

I am Not a Jain. I have some respects for Jain community becks the Jainism is one of the ancient religious on earth and contemporary to paranoiac and medic period.

Instead of thinking right or wrong on nudity, let us think scientifically and truthfully

When a man is born out of his mother womb, he is nude. even if she, is nude. But a nude baby looks adorable and beautiful. we never feel nudity as absurd or sin or unhealthy to society. Often, nude infants look pretty and cute. we kiss them.


All our physical cloths are man made and not natural. When a human dies, at least you agree that your physical body perishes either by pyres or bacteria if buried. The so far nourished body, your own beloved body is no more with you.

You wave cloths to hide nudity becks you feel shy. but you forget a fact that every body is nude but hide their belongings.

Not all DagmarARains follow nudity. Only the Sadhu/sanyasin(who renounced physical and materialistic embodiments) only follow nudity. they become jains(one who gains from sanskrit jina) the darkness of maya(illusion or delusion) and know the truth.

The truth is every thing is nude. You hide becoz of illusion.

To follow that steps you should be brave. Can you walk nude on roads of your country with such dare? No U cant. But you watch Hollywood and Bollywood(Indian moies) where actress like, Anjalina joli, jennifer lopez, kim kardisian show complete nudity.

You enjoy their nude figures and paste them on your walls. you want anjalina jolie complete nude picture. You adore her. you respect her. Thats not a sin. Thats a crazzy and great. Its a culture.


When you see a digambar jain, you should not see his nudity or genitals or his body. You should immediately see his courage, pierce into his knowledge and mind.

Becoz he is a winner of Maya(Illusion or false illusion). He is devine. He is a guru to lead you the true path.

Good question ! but before coming to any conclusion about any posture of great people take some pain in reading their scriptures. Because asking such questions SARCASTICALLY only show your half-baked knowledge which makes it nothing but a piece of joke.

Considering a pathetic state of mind you have at present (who calls "DIGAMBAR" as nudity) no explanations can be given to you. All I can say is if you are a Hindu as your name suggests take some pain to study "BHAGWATAM". Study SUKHDEV's Charita and you'll understand that they are not actually going nude but they have enunciated with all worldly affairs. They came to a stage where they know nothing except GOD. They have surrendered everything as a human. Such people have no Karma(duty), No Lajja (Shame which results from Ego). In Bhagwatam Sukhdev used eat directly with his mouth without using hands like an animal thereby limiting his Karma. But I would not like to go in details and limit myself as you'll not understand such deep philosophy. So, my friend don't ever jump into the conclusions without doing detail study and analysis.

May Goddess Sarswathi give you Satbuddhi & Goddess Lakshmi's blessings ever shower on you & your family !

Happy Deepawali !

They exhibit to the world that they are free from all desires.

A person if have desire on sex which is natural, it will be exposed by the reaction on parts of body like genitals. They are not affected by any external bodily pleasure and to exhibit that they bravely walk nude in public.
