    How to start samayik

    12 months ago 267

    To start Samayik, which is the practice of equanimity and spiritual meditation in Jainism, follow these simple steps:

    1. Find a Clean and Quiet Place: Sit comfortably, usually in Padmasana (lotus) or Sukhasana (easy sitting).
    1. Take a Calm Breath: Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to calm your mind.
    1. Pratikraman (Reflection): Begin with Pratikraman, which means reflecting on your faults or mistakes and feeling remorse for any harm caused.
    1. Repeat the Namokar Mantra: Chant the "Namokar Mantra" mentally or aloud to pay respect to the Arihants, Siddhas, Acharyas, Upadhyayas, and Sadhus.
    1. Maintain Equanimity: Focus your mind on stillness and avoid any thoughts or feelings of attachment, anger, pride, or deceit.
    1. Practice Samayik: Spend the time (usually 48 minutes or a shorter period if starting) in meditation, self-reflection, and silent prayer.
    1. End with Pratikraman and Samayik Vandana: Conclude with Pratikraman again and recite Samayik Vandana, which is a prayer seeking spiritual progress.

    This process helps in controlling passions and cultivating internal peace.

    If you want, I can provide you with the exact mantras used in Samayik.
