    Which is considered as vitamin of pratikaman

    12 months ago 54

    There is no standard Jain term like “vitamin of pratikaman.” In Jain texts, the core practice of Pratikraman (pratikaman) is built from the Six Avashyaks (essential rituals): Samayik, Chauvisantho, Vandana, Pratikraman (alochana), Kayotsarga, and Pratyakhyan. These are the spiritual “nourishments” that make pratikaman effective, not a single “vitamin.” Different Jain communities (Digambara and Śvētāmbara) may have slight sequence or wording differences, but the fundamental aim remains the same: inner calm, confession, forgiveness, and renewed vows to avoid faults.

    • Samayik: meditation in equanimity with a vow of inner balance.
    • Chauvisantho: homage to the 24 Tirthankaras.
    • Vandana: respect to gurus and holy beings.
    • Pratikraman: reflection on faults, confession, and resolve to avoid repeating them.
    • Kayotsarga: soul-focused meditation, detachment from the body.
    • Pratyakhyan: taking or renewing practical vows to curb faults until the next pratikraman. ( jainknowledge.com)

    If you meant a specific term used in a local tradition or a nickname you heard, tell me the exact word and I’ll check how it’s used in Jain sources.
