Answer

If someone sneezes during Pratikraman, simply pause for a moment and then continue the Pratikraman calmly.

There is no need to stop the entire Pratikraman or restart from the beginning.

Explanation

In Jain Dharma, Pratikraman is a spiritual practice of:

• repentance,
• self-reflection,
• forgiveness,
• and purification of thoughts, words, and actions.

A sneeze is a natural bodily action. If it happens:

• pause respectfully,
• regain focus,
• and continue from where you left off.

If the sneeze causes interruption in recitation, repeat the incomplete phrase or sutra line correctly and continue.

Spiritual Understanding

The main focus in Pratikraman is inner awareness, humility, and repentance. Small physical interruptions should not disturb the devotion and sincerity of the practice.

Takeaway

Do not worry or become fearful. Pause, refocus, and continue Pratikraman with a peaceful mind.
