This article explains purpose and meaning of the traditional
Samvatsari Pratikraman ritual of Swetambar Murtipujak Jain Community. This annual ritual takes about 3 hours or more
to complete. More than 98% of Jains
perform this ritual mechanically and satisfy themselves that they have completed
their annual obligation to their religion.
In this article, an effort has been made to explain each step of
the ritual. First, we have divided this long ritual into several
sections and explain the purpose of each section. In the second step, we have listed the
corresponding sutras, Vidhi and the brief meaning of the sutra to reflect upon when
such sutras are recited in the ritual.
The actual Vidhi or ritual is listed in Hindi and the
explanation and meaning is provided in English.
Please read this article objectively and provide your
comment and corrections at the end of this blog. This way others will have a chance to review
your comment.

Since it was difficult for the lay people to practice all
six Avashyaks separately everyday, the Acharyas have incorporated all six Avashyaks
into Pratikraman Avashyaks ritual, hence a person needs to perform only
Pratikraman ritual to complete all six daily Avashyaks. This is the reason the 4th
Avashyaks – Pratikraman became very important and the term “Pratikraman” is used
as a common name for all six essential acts.
Pratikraman Ävashyaka
Even though the daily Pratikraman Avashyaks ritual included
all six Avashyaks, not all lay-people can perform the Pratikraman ritual
everyday. Hence the Acharyas have
created Pakkhi Pratikraman (once every 15 days), Chaumasi Pratikraman (once
every 4 months), and Samvatsari Pratikraman (once a year). The only difference among the three expanded
Pratikraman's are the length of Kaussag (12 Loggas, 20 Loggas, and 40 Loggas) we
do during the ritual. It is a strong tradition
that every Swetambar Murtipujak Jain MUST do the annual Samvatsari Pratikraman
ritual.
Brief History of Pratikraman Ritual Recitation by Monks and Shravaks together:
The ancient tradition says that Pratikraman needs to be
performed in the presence of Gurus but not with them. This is because Atichar and Aloyana Sutras are
different for monks, nuns, shravaks (laymen) and shravikas (laywomen);
therefore there are different pratikraman rituals for monks, nuns, shravaks and
shravikas.
About 400 to 500 years ago in Khambhat, Gujarat Acharya Shri
Vijaychandrasuri started a new tradition and did Pratikraman with shravakas in
Vadi Poshal Upashraya. Later, other
Acharyas joined this new tradition and it is now a permanent tradition among
Tapa Gachchha Shwetambar Murtipujak Jain community (largest community of the Jain
religion).
Hence, again the Pratikraman ritual has been expanded to
accommodate both Monks and Shravaks Aloyana and Atichar sutras and that
increased Pratikraman time significantly.
There are other sub-sects of Swetambar Murtipujak Jains like
Paya-Gachchha and Anchal Gachchha communities in India where they do not do
Pratikraman with monks and nuns.
In America, there are no fully ordained Jain monks and nuns live. Also Jain Shravakas and Shravikas mostly do
Pratikraman together. They continue to use
and recite the same Samvatsari Pratikraman Vidhi of Monks and Shravaks together
as done in India. However, in place of
specific Monks’ Atichar sutras, the ritual indicates to recite the substitute
sutras which relates to Shravaks. Hence
some Sutras of Shravaks’ Atichar are repeated several times and the time it
takes to recite the Samvatsari Pratikraman ritual of Shravaks and Shravikas
remained same about 3.0 hours.
Major Steps of Samvatsari Pratikraman Vidhi
The complete Samvatsari Pratikraman, which is the expanded
version of daily Pratikraman is divided into the following sections:
- Taking vows of Samayik
- Expanded Pratikraman
Ävashyaka Ritual. This section is divided
into the following four groups.
·
Daily (Devsiya) Pratikraman Ritual Part 1
This section includes; Chaitya
Vandan (Tirthankar Prayer), Pachparesthi Namaskar, Pratikraman Sthäpanä Sutra,
1st Ävashyaka – Sämäyika, 2nd Ävashyaka – 24 Tirthankar Prayers, 3rd Ävashyaka

Adhar Papsthanak, and Vanditu sutras.

This section includes left over sutras
of 4th Pratikraman Avashyak, 5th Käyotsarga Avashyak and 6th
Pratyäkhyäna (or Pachchkhana) Avashyak sutras.
Originally the Pratikraman ritual
was completed at the end of 6th Pratyäkhyäna Avashyak ritual. However, over the period of time, some
Acharyas decided to add some sutras in the Vidhi to celebrate the successfully
completion of this most important ritual and later on they became part of the ritual.

Aloyana and Pachchhakhan (6th Ävashyaka)
Even though the Pachchhakhan is the 6th
Avasyak, we need to take the vow of Pachchhakhan in the beginning because it
should be taken before sunset. However,
we will recite 6th Avasyak sutras at its proper place. Also, before we take Pachchhakhan, we need to do Aloyana
if we have taken food or water during the day.
Doing Aloyana and Pachchhakhan

vidhi is a part of 6th Ävashyaka)
Chaityavandan
Before we begin any pious ritual, it is a tradition to
pray Tirthankars by doing Chaitya Vandan. Here we do long Chaitya Vandan (4
Thoys (Stuti) instead of one Thoy as done in the Temple).
1st Thoy dedicated to
Specific Tirthankara
2nd Thoy dedicated to all 24th
Tirthankars
3rd Thoy dedicated to Jnan
(Gyan)

and Devi for protection

108 Namaskar Sutra

to eat 6 Vigais (milk, yogurt, Ghee, oil, Sweets, Brown-sugar) after being

great description.. thank you!!
ReplyDeletePravinbhai .. We are grateful for efforts you are putting to understand Jainism as a whole. Very well Explain...Can we have additional details/links for purpose of each Sutra (Exa: What does Vandittu Sutra means?) etc etc
ReplyDeleteDear Shri Pravinbhai
ReplyDeleteJai Jinendra. You are doing really fantastic work in keeping the Jainism luminously glow far away from its origin.
This helps the new generation who are more acquaintained in English.
I would like to have your comments to my apprehension on only one point in Pratikraman. Please do not misunderstand my faith in Jainism but our youngsters repose more trust and faith in things where what is recited is culminated in practice ie walk the talk.
In pratikraman we recite not to break government laws and yet most jains engage in No.2 business and black money and black money donation.
This is most scarry as it affects faith.

The text is very excellent & really worth reading.
ReplyDeleteThanks for enlightenment us with this informative article.
ReplyDeleteNice Article. great insight into the age old tradition.
ReplyDeleteWhy do we have to do Pratikraman. We are explaining what it is and all that but why do we have to do it?
ReplyDelete"Prati" means "back" and "kraman" means "to go". It means to go back, to reflect and review, to confess and atone, asking for forgiveness from others for one’s own faults of mind, body, and speech in one’s daily activities, and forgiving faults of others and extending friendship to all.
DeleteTherefore, Pratikraman involves repentance and sincere confession for past sinful deeds and thoughts as well as the forgiveness of others’ faults. This process of self-discipline provides protection from present sinful acts, and prevents future sinful acts through renunciation.
Agree with the high level why. but then why each of those sutras, why those mudras, why baithka, mupati etc?
DeleteBTW, Thanks for a great article. It is a good start of a discussion so that it benefits our community and that we along with the new generation understand it and put effort in doing it.
DeleteThanks
I understand Pratikraman ri Vidhi. The question is why to do this ritual. Why twice in the day and why at certain times. Why do we have to do only in certain form, clothes, talk only certain mantras etc.
ReplyDeleteI do on-the-spot pratikraman in English as taught by Dada Bhagwan. It is short and easy compared to this long and complicated pratikraman. It is on the back page of the Charan Viddhi book.

Jay Jinendra Pravin bhai,
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for putting in so much efforts and time to create such detail explanation about our rituals.I agree that whatever the syllabus prepared by our Gurujis is correct,but the repetitions of some sutras,vandana, kausagga etc.is confusing.I wish it can be simplified and shorter so the future generation would continue to do this rituals traditional way.

I agree with you that some one should prepare Samvatsari Pratikraman Vidhi of Shravak only for America, UK, Africa,and other countries and remove all steps ans Sutras which are applicable to Monks only.
DeleteIn samvatsari pratikraman, as well as chaumasi & pakhi pratikraman, atichar is a must. You cannot read Vanditu stotra against Atichar.
ReplyDeletePlease read Samvatsari Pratikraman Book by Shrimad Yashovijayji Maharaj - eLibrary book # 001212 -
DeleteIf you have any reference for your statement, please prove me
