    Certainly. Here is a written procedure (vidhi) for performing Samayik according to Jain tradition:

    Samayik Vidhi (Procedure)

    Samayik is a Jain spiritual practice focused on attaining equanimity, self-discipline, and detachment from worldly affairs for a set period, traditionally 48 minutes. Below is a step-by-step written vidhi:

    1. Preparation

    • Place: Choose a clean, quiet place. Sit on a clean asan (mat).
    • Attire: Wear simple, clean clothes, preferably white.
    • Materials: Keep a muhapatti (mouth-cloth) and sutra (scripture or prayers) if needed.

    2. Pratikraman (Repentance) & Prayers

    Recite the following:

    • Namo Arihantanam
    • Namo Siddhanam
    • Namo Ayariyanam
    • Namo Uvajjhayanam
    • Namo Loe Savva-sahunam
    • This is the Navkar Mantra.

    3. Iryavahi Sutra (Repentance for harm while walking)

    Recite: "Iriyavahiyae virahiae... (full sutra as per your tradition)".

    4. Samayik Aalochana

    Repent for all sins committed knowingly or unknowingly by mind, speech, or body.

    5. Samayik Pachchakhkhan (Resolution)

    Take the vow: "I will observe Samayik for this period, abstaining from all sinful activities, maintaining equanimity, and treating all beings with compassion."

    6. Meditation and Prayers

    For the next 48 minutes:

    • Meditate on the true nature of the soul (Atma).
    • Recite Jain prayers, such as Khamemi Savve Jiva (I forgive all beings), Michhami Dukkadam (May all my faults be forgiven).
    • Read or recite from Jain scriptures (Agamas, Sutras).
    • Practice Pratikraman (repentance and reflection).
    • Practice Pratyakhyan (renunciation of harmful activities).
    • Maintain mindfulness, avoid attachment and aversion.

    7. Samayik Samapti (Conclusion)

    • Recite the Samayik Samapti Sutra:
    "Samaiyam samaptam, savva-jivakarana khamemi, savve jiva khamantu me, mitti me savva bhudesu, veram majjha na kenai."
    • Bow with folded hands, expressing humility and seeking forgiveness from all living beings.

    Note: The exact wording of sutras may differ based on the Jain sect (Shwetambar or Digambar) and local tradition. It is best to refer to your community's specific prayer book or consult a Jain monk/nun for the authorized version.
