Jeevdaya Seva जीवदया सेवा
Fodder for cows at a panjrapole, or grain for birds — ahimsa in action.
About Jeevdaya Seva
Jeevdaya — compassion for every living being — is at the heart of ahimsa. Your seva provides green fodder for rescued cattle at a Jain panjrapole or gaushala, or chugga (grain) for birds, in your name, with photos and a short video. This amount is used only for jeevdaya.

Questions
How do I book Jeevdaya Seva online in my name?
Choose the option and your preferred temple or date, enter the name(s) for the sankalp and your WhatsApp number, and send the request. We confirm the date with the temple, then send payment details. After the Jeevdaya Seva is performed you receive the video with your sankalp and an Anumodana Patra.
Which Jain tradition performs Jeevdaya Seva?
All Jain traditions. The temple performs it in its own tradition; you can choose Digambar or Shwetambar when booking.
Will I receive prasad?
No. In Jain practice, dravya offered to Bhagwan becomes nirmalya and is not taken back or eaten, so we do not post prasad. You receive the video of the puja with your sankalp, photos, and an Anumodana Patra.
Where does my money go?
The puja amount is passed to the temple or institution for that seva only — temple pujas to the temple trust, jeevdaya to the panjrapole, sadharmik bhakti to the bhojanshala, gyan daan to scripture printing. Any service fee for coordination and video is shown separately before you pay.
Can Jains living abroad book a puja in India?
Yes. Families in the USA, UK, Canada, the Gulf, Africa and Australia book sevas for birthdays, punyatithis and parvas. We send an international payment link by email, and the video reaches you wherever you are.
Can I book on a tithi rather than a date?
Yes — many families observe a punyatithi or janma tithi by the Jain calendar. Enter the tithi when booking and we will find its date in the panchang with the temple.
