    How to end a pratikraman samayik vidhi

    12 months ago 221

    In Jainism, the Pratikraman Samayik Vidhi is a spiritual practice involving reflection, repentance, and meditation. Ending a Pratikraman Samayik follows a traditional sequence to properly conclude the ritual with reverence. Here is the customary way to end the Pratikraman Samayik Vidhi:

    1. Kshamapana (Asking Forgiveness): Recite the Kshamapana Sutra or say "Michhami Dukkadam" (May all the evil that has been done be fruitless), asking forgiveness from all living beings for any harm caused knowingly or unknowingly.
    1. Ucchhvas (Disengagement from Samayik): Chant the Icchāmi Khamāsamano three times, expressing the wish to conclude the Samayik.
    1. Mangalik (Auspicious Benediction): Recite the Manglik prayer, which includes:

    - Namo Arihantanam - Namo Siddhanam - Namo Ayariyanam - Namo Uvajjhayanam - Namo Loe Savva Sahunam

    1. Prarthana (Prayer for Well-being): Offer prayers for the well-being of all beings and for one's spiritual progress.
    1. Pradakshina and Vandana: Perform pradakshina (circumambulation) if possible, and vandana (bowing) to the Panch Parmesthi (five supreme beings).
    1. Samayik Pachchakhān (Renunciation Statement): If any pachchakhān (vows) were taken specifically for the duration of Samayik, formally end them as per tradition.

    Example closing lines (in Prakrit/Sanskrit and English):

    • Icchāmi samāiyā vippamokkham
    (I desire to conclude my Samayik.)
    • Khamemi savva jīve, savve jīvā khamantu me
    (I forgive all living beings; may all living beings forgive me.)
    • Michchhāmi Dukkadam
    (May my faults become fruitless.)

    Note: The exact sequence and sutras may vary among Jain sects (Shwetambar, Digambar, etc.), so it's best to follow the tradition of your community or consult your Jain spiritual guide.

    Summary Table:

    | Step | Action | |---------------------------|------------------------------------------------------| | Kshamapana | Ask forgiveness (Michchhami Dukkadam) | | Ucchhvas | Chant Icchāmi Khamāsamano 3 times | | Mangalik | Recite Namokar Mantra (Manglik) | | Prarthana | Pray for all beings | | Pradakshina & Vandana | Circumambulate and bow to Panch Parmesthi | | Pachchakhān | Renounce any vows taken specifically for Samayik |

    May your practice be auspicious and lead you closer to spiritual purity.
