Siddhi Tap ek kathin aur pavitra tapasya hai. Iski kriya (prakriya) alag–alag sangh aur guru ki maryada ke hisaab se thodi badal sakti hai, lekin samanya roop se ismein ye baatein hoti hain:

---

1. Sankalp / Pachchakhyan

• Shuru mein guru / vachan-padadhikari ke saamne sankalp liya jaata hai:

- kitne din ka tap hoga - kaise khana (upvās, ekāsan, ayambil jaisi maryada) - paani ki maryada (uvala / ubala paani, kitne samay tak)

---

2. Dinon ka Anushthan (samanya roop se do pramukh paddhatiyaan chalayin jaati hain)

(A) 6 din ke adla–badli upvās + ekāsan, phir attham / atthai (yeh bahut jagah chalti maryada hai)

• Din 1 – poora upvās (koi anaaj nahi, sirf maryada ke anusaar paani)
• Din 2 – ekāsan (din mein ek baar saadhan, bahut saadharan bhojan, kai sangh mein ayambil-jaisi sakhti)
• Din 3 – upvās
• Din 4 – ekāsan
• Din 5 – upvās
• Din 6 – ekāsan
• Din 7–9 ya 7–10 – attham / atthai

- lagātār 3 ya 4 din bina khaaye (sirf maryada ke anusaar uvala paani ya bilkul bhi nahi – yeh guru ki maryada par depend karta hai)

(B) 44 din wali maryada Kuchh sangho mein Siddhi Tap ko lagbhag 44 din tak kiya jaata hai:

• ek meal ke baad 1 din ka upvās,
• phir agla meal 2 din ke upvās ke baad,
• phir 4 din ke upvās ke baad,
• aise–aise badhte hue 44 din tak.

Ismein aadmi adhikansh samay sirf ubala paani par rehta hai.

Dono hi roop mein uddeshya ek hi hai – karm nash aur atma ki shuddhi.

3. Har din ki aantarik kriya

Sirf bhookhe rehna hi Siddhi Tap nahi hai. Saath–saath ye kaam vishesh roop se kiye jaate hain:

• Pratikraman, Samayik, Paath

- roj (ya nirdharit samay par) pratikraman - rojana kuchh samay samayik / dhyaan - Navkār mantra, stavano ka paath, swādhyāy

• Maun aur indriya sanyam

- zyada baat–cheet, mobile, manoranjan se door rehna - krodh, maan, maya, lobh se bachne ka prayatn - sabke prati maitri–bhav, kshama–bhav

• Ahar ki pavitrata (jo din khaaya jaata hai)

- ekāsan / ayambil–jaisa sādhaa bhojan - adhikansh jagah: - doodh–dahi, tel–ghee, tal–bhunaa, khatta–meetha, farmented chizon se parhez - sirf simple ubale anaj–dals, thoda ya bina namak

• Paani ki maryada

- sirf ubala hua paani - nirdharit samay ke beech (jaise suryoday se suryast tak) hi grahan

---

4. Parna ki kriya (Tap todna)

• Tap samaapt hone par din ke samay mein, maryada ke anusaar parna hota hai:

- pehle thoda ubala paani - phir bahut halka, saadharan bhojan

• Parna se pehle aur baad mein

- kshamā yāchanā, vinay, aur bhav se: - “jo bhi bhool–chook tap mein ho gayi ho, uski pratikruti karta/ karti hoon”

---

5. Zaroori baat

• Siddhi Tap ka ek hi fixed formula Agamon mein naam se darj nahi hai; yeh adhikatar aaj ke samay ki vyavaharik maryada hai jo alag–alag sangh / guru ne banayi hai.
• Isliye hamesha apne guru, pravachan, ya sangh ki maryada hi follow karein – unhi ke anusar hi dinon ka pattern, paani, khorak ki detail pakki samjhi jaayegi.
• Shareer par atyachaar karke nahi, ahiṁsā aur samyak–bhav se tap karna hai; tabhi vaastavik “Siddhi” arthāt atma–unnati hoti hai.
