Question

Choose any one Yama, and explain it in your own words with the help of an example. How would you practice it in your day-to-day life? You can also draw a simple picture to illustrate it.

Answer 1

Ahimsa (non-violence) means avoiding harm through our actions and words, and treating people and other living beings with kindness. For example, instead of hitting or insulting someone during an argument, I can stay calm and speak respectfully. I can practise Ahimsa every day by being gentle, helping others, and caring for animals. A simple picture could show a child helping a friend or feeding a bird.
