    Last day pratikraman detail vidhi

    12 months ago 223

    Here is the simple, authentic “last day” Pratikraman vidhi, separately for both traditions. “Last day” means:

    • Śvetāmbara: Samvatsari Pratikraman (last day of Paryushan).
    • Digambara: Kshamāvaṇī/Annual Pratikraman (last day of Das-Lakshan).

    Śvetāmbara (Samvatsari Pratikraman) – step‑by‑step

    • Shuddhi and Niyam:
    - Snān, clean clothes, place for sādhanā, paḍiyā/āsan. - Take pachkhaṇ/pratyākhyān for carefulness during the Pratikraman.
    • Mangala ārambh:
    - Navkār Mantra; Chattāri Maṅgalaṁ.
    • Samayik āropan:
    - “Karemi Bhante Samāyika Kusalaṁ …” (enter Samayik bhāva).
    • Iriyā-path:
    - Iriyā Vahiyae Sutra (repent movements that may have harmed jīvas).
    • Doṣa-kṣamāpan:
    - Tassa Uttari (Tassuttae) and Annattha Sutra (seeking pardon for faults).
    • Dev vandanā/Logassa:
    - Logassa Ujjoyagare (adoration of the Tīrthaṅkaras).
    • Kayotsarga (standing/sitting still with awareness):
    - Brief Kayotsarga with Kṣamā-bhāvanā.
    • Pratikraman (annual/samvatsari):
    - Samvatsari Pratikraman portion from pothī, including: - Ālochana (confession of lapses through the year). - Pratikraman-gāthā (repentance for transgressions of the five vows and daily carefulnesses). - Uddes, Paḍikamma, Ālochana, Pratyākhyān segments as per your gaccha/pothī.
    • Pratyākhyān:
    - Resolve to avoid specific faults going forward (take appropriate niyams).
    • Kṣamāpanā:
    - “Khamemi Savve Jīvā, Savve Jīvā Khamantu Me; Mitti me savva-bhūesu, veram majjha na keṇai.” - Say “Micchāmi Dukkaḍaṁ” with true humility to all beings.
    • Stavan and Mangal:
    - Optional stavan (e.g., Uvāsaggaharāṁ), Maṅgal pāṭh, Śānti pāṭh, Āratī as per local maryādā.
    • Samāpana:
    - Samayik uttarā (exit Samayik), vandan, prabhāvanā of forgiveness.

    Notes (Śvetāmbara)

    • Time: Traditionally in the evening after sunset (temple schedule may specify exact time).
    • Texts: Follow your Pratikraman pothī exactly; sequences vary slightly by Mūrtipūjak, Sthānakvāsī, Terāpanthī maryādā.
    • Essence: Ālochana (confession), Pratikraman (repentance), Pratyākhyān (firm resolve), Kṣamāpanā (universal forgiveness).

    Digambara (Kshamāvaṇī/Annual Pratikraman) – step‑by‑step

    • Shuddhi and Niyam:
    - Snān, clean vastra, āsana; take appropriate saiyam/niyam for the vidhi.
    • Maṅgala ārambh:
    - Navkār Mantra; Dev–Guru–Śāstra vandanā.
    • Iriyā-samiti and Pradakṣiṇā:
    - Repent movements that may have harmed jīvas; mindful circumambulation if per local practice.
    • Pratikramana (annual):
    - Ālochana of lapses in anuvratas, guṇa-vratas, śikṣā-vratas and daily carefulnesses (samiti/guptis). - Pratikramana-sūtras as per Digambara paddhati; contemplation on the Ten Virtues (Das-Lakshan), especially Uttam Kṣamā.
    • Kayotsarga and Bhāvanā:
    - Kayotsarga with Logassa/appropriate stotras; reflect on kṣamā, maitri, karuṇā, madhyastha.
    • Pratyākhyāna:
    - Take firm resolves (niyams) for avoidance of specific transgressions.
    • Kṣamāpanā:
    - “Khamemi Savve Jīvā, Savve Jīvā Khamantu Me …” said with samatā-bhāva; offer/seek forgiveness universally. - Many also convey “Micchāmi Dukkaḍaṁ” in common usage of forgiveness.
    • Maṅgal and Samāpana:
    - Maṅgal pāṭh, śānti pāṭh; conclude in equanimity.

    What to keep handy

    • Pratikraman pothī of your sangh/tradition.
    • A clean āsan, muhapattī (where customary), water if needed for āchamana as per maryādā.
    • List of personal transgressions to confess sincerely in Ālochana.

    Spiritual essence preserved

    • Repent (Pratikraman), confess (Ālochana), renounce faults (Pratyākhyān), remain steady (Kayotsarga), forgive and seek forgiveness (Kṣamāpanā/Micchāmi Dukkaḍaṁ) with true inner transformation, not just recital.

    For quick reference on Paryushan/Samvatsari and Pratikraman basics:

    • Importance of Samvatsari and forgiveness
    • Typical Pratikraman sequence (Śvetāmbara)
    • Paryushan overview and last day focus

    May your Samvatsari/Kshamāvaṇī Pratikraman be pure, heartfelt, and fruitful. Micchāmi Dukkaḍaṁ.
