Pratikraman ka mahatva (Jain dharma me iska mool mantra)

• Pratikraman ya pratikramaṇ ka arth hai apne bhav, vaani aur kare se hue papon ka pachhtava (pardon) karna aur aatma ki shuddhi ki or agrasar hona.
• Iska mukhya uddeshya hai:

- Apne galtiyon ki yaad-dahi karna aur unke liye kshama maangna. - Sabhi jiva se kshama prarthna, chaahe ve humse roop se parichit ho ya na ho. - Ahimsa, satya, asteya, aparigrah aur brahmcharya jaise yatharth dharmo ke prati pratigya ko majboot banana. - Apni jnana-urja aur karmik buraiyon ko samajhna aur unhe door karne ki pratigya lena.

• Pratikraman ki vyavastha:

- Rozana kiya ja sakta hai ya Paryushan, Chaturmas jaise pavitra samay par vishesh roop se kiya jata hai. - Sandesh roop me, man (manan), vakya (vaani) aur karm (kaarya) ki paak-safai hoti hai; bhavnaon me kshama aur maafi ki bhavna jata hai.

• Karm par prabhav:

- Pratikraman se man, vak aur shareer ke dwara kiye gaye papon ki pachhtava hoti hai aur karmik bandhan kam hote hain. - Aatma ki shuddhi se agami janam aur punarjanam ke chakkar me kam baddh karma ke phal bhogne ki sambhavana kam hoti hai.

• Digambar aur Shwetambar me antar:

- Dono paramparaon me pratikraman ki prakriya hoti hai, lekin kuch mantr, angik kriyaen (vastrik ya kriya) aur samayik ki vistaar me thode bhinnataen hoti hain. Mool uddeshya, kshama, pachhtava aur atma-shuddhi hi rehta hai.

• Ant me, pratikraman ka asli sandesh hai: apne antar-dharam ki satyapana, dusron ke prati kshama aur apni aatma ki pavitrata ki or lagataar koshish.

Agar aap chahen to main chhote se shabdon me pratikraman ki short samagri ya Sudoku (शास्त्रीय) arth bhi de sakta/sakti hoon ya Digambar-Shwetambar ki specific bhinnataon ko aur spasht kar sakta/sakti hoon.
