    what to say during 3 pratikram in digambara full ?

    54 minutes ago 3

    Answer

    In Digambara Jain tradition, the daily Pratikraman is commonly connected with Sāmāyika, Ālochana, Pratikraman, Pratyākhyāna, and Kāyotsarga.

    When people say “3 Pratikraman”, they may mean different things depending on the local Digambara tradition:

    • Morning Pratikraman — reflection on faults committed during the night.
    • Evening Pratikraman — reflection on faults committed during the day.
    • Special / periodic Pratikraman — such as Pakṣika, Cāturmāsika, or annual practice, depending on the tradition followed.

    A full Digambara Pratikraman generally includes saying and reflecting on:

    • Namokar Mantra
    • Ālochana — confession of one’s faults
    • Pratikraman — repentance and turning back from wrong conduct
    • Pratyākhyāna — resolve not to repeat faults
    • Kāyotsarga — stillness and detachment from the body
    • Forgiveness prayer — asking forgiveness from all living beings

    Important Note

    The exact full text of Digambara Pratikraman varies by sampradāya, region, temple tradition, and the text-book used. Because sacred recitation must be preserved exactly, I should not generate a “full script” unless the exact version is clearly identified.

    What You Can Say Simply

    If you do not know the full formal text, you may respectfully do Pratikraman with this simple bhāva:

    • Recite Namokar Mantra.
    • Reflect: “Whatever wrong I have done through mind, speech, or body, knowingly or unknowingly, I repent for it.”
    • Ask forgiveness from all living beings.
    • Resolve not to repeat the same mistakes.
    • Sit in quiet Kāyotsarga with awareness of the soul.

    Spiritual Understanding

    Pratikraman is not only recitation. Its true purpose is:

    • to recognize one’s mistakes,
    • to reduce attachment, anger, pride, deceit, and greed,
    • to ask forgiveness,
    • to purify the soul through repentance and restraint.

    Takeaway

    For the full Digambara Pratikraman text, it is best to follow the exact booklet used in your Digambara temple or learn it from a knowledgeable Jain teacher, because the wording must be recited correctly and respectfully.
