    Give me jain pratikaman vidhi with sutra

    12 months ago 273

    Certainly! The Pratikraman Vidhi is a central Jain ritual, primarily focused on repentance, reflection, and spiritual cleansing. It is performed daily, fortnightly, or annually by both Shvetambar and Digambar traditions, though the procedures and sutras may vary slightly.

    Below is a simplified outline of the Shvetambar Pratikraman Vidhi with some of the important sutras (in Sanskrit/Prakrit with English transliteration). Please note that the actual Pratikraman is detailed and includes many more sutras, rituals, and recitations. For the full traditional text, please refer to a Jain Pratikraman book or guidance from a Jain monk or nun.

    Jain Pratikraman Vidhi (Brief Outline with Sutra)

    1. Dev Vandana (Salutation to Arihants and Tirthankaras)

    Namokar Mantra (Navkar Mantra): णमो अरिहंताणं णमो सिद्धाणं णमो आयरियाणं णमो उवज्झायाणं णमो लोए सव्वसाहूणं। Eso Panch Namokkaro, Savva Pavappanasano Mangalanam Cha Savvesim, Padhamam Havai Mangalam॥

    Translation: I bow to the Arihants, Siddhas, Acharyas, Upadhyayas, and all Sadhus in the world. This five-fold bow destroys all sins and is the foremost among all auspicious things.
