How to do the long sampana
1
Answer
In Jain practice, “Sampana” usually means the concluding prayer/closing recitation done after a ritual, puja, path, samayik, pratikraman, or stavana.
But “long Sampana” can differ by sect, tradition, language, and local sangh practice. So I should not give an exact full text unless you tell me which tradition you follow.
Common Way to Do Sampana
A respectful long Sampana generally includes:
- Sit or stand calmly with folded hands.
- Remember Arihant, Siddha, Acharya, Upadhyay, and Sadhu Bhagwant.
- Offer devotion and gratitude for the completed worship or recitation.
- Ask for forgiveness for any mistakes made in words, pronunciation, actions, or thoughts.
- Pray that the punya of the ritual supports right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct.
- End with peace, humility, and devotion.
Important Note
If by “long Sampana” you mean a specific recitation used in your temple or family tradition, please tell me:
- Is it for puja, pratikraman, samayik, or another ritual?
- Do you follow Shwetambar, Digambar, Sthanakvasi, or Terapanthi tradition?
- Do you want it in English, Hindi, Gujarati, or Prakrit/Sanskrit?
Takeaway
The essence of Sampana is humility, gratitude, forgiveness, and dedication of the ritual toward spiritual purification.
