Video Script: How to Take Samayik

Title: How to Take Samayik in Jain Dharma

Opening:
“Jai Jinendra. In Jain Dharma, Samayik is the practice of equanimity. During Samayik, we try to become like a sadhu or sadhvi for a short time by leaving worldly activities and focusing on the soul.”

Step 1: Prepare Yourself

• Choose a clean and peaceful place.
• Wear clean and simple clothes.
• Keep your mind calm.
• Avoid phone, talking, food, and worldly distractions.

Step 2: Sit Properly

• Sit on a clean asan.
• You may sit cross-legged or in a stable comfortable posture.
• Keep the body still and the mind peaceful.

Step 3: Begin with Reverence

• Start with devotion toward Arihant Bhagwan, Siddha Bhagwan, Acharya, Upadhyay, and Sadhus.
• Many Jains begin by reciting the Navkar Mantra.

Step 4: Take the Samayik Vow

• During Samayik, one gives up harmful activities of mind, speech, and body.
• One practices forgiveness, peace, non-violence, and detachment.

Step 5: Spend the Time Spiritually

• Recite Navkar Mantra.
• Do meditation on the soul.
• Read or reflect on Jain teachings.
• Practice forgiveness and equanimity toward all living beings.

Step 6: Complete Samayik Respectfully

• At the end, complete the Samayik with humility.
• Ask forgiveness for any mistake made knowingly or unknowingly.
• Carry the peaceful feeling into daily life.

Spiritual Understanding

Samayik means becoming equal-minded. For that time, we try to reduce attachment, anger, ego, greed, and worldly desires. It teaches us that our true nature is the pure soul, not the body or possessions.

Takeaway

Samayik is not only a ritual; it is a practice of inner peace, self-control, and spiritual awareness. If you are learning for the first time, it is best to learn the exact sutras and procedure from a knowledgeable Jain guru, pathshala teacher, or elder in your tradition.
