DEDICATED
TO
People around the World
Committed to Compassionate Living
for their continued effort in promoting Non-violence,

protection of the environment and a spirit of compassionate
interdependence with nature and all living beings.
Special thanks to the people practicing a strict vegetarian
(Vegan) and Alcohol/drug free life-style for inspiring us to
see a true connection between the principle of Non-violence
and the choices we make.
A vegan and alcohol/drug free life-style stems from a
compelling ethical and moral value system, where one
makes a conscious effort not to harm any animals and not to
harm his own body, mind & soul.
As a result, one avoids the use of all animal products such
as meat, fish, chicken, eggs, milk, cheese, ice-cream, butter,
ghee, and all other dairy products as well as refraining from
the use of silk, fur, pearls, leather, or any other products
created from animal cruelty.
One also refrains from all types of addictive substances
such as alcohol and illicit drugs.
Note:
Records from the last six years of YJA and YJP conventions
indicate that more than 10% Jain Youth registered as Vegans.
The New York Times reports that over 8 million Americans are
Vegan.

6 PRATIKRAMAN SUTRA BOOK
PREFACE
Preface
The one and only goal of Jainism is to attain total liberation of our
soul by removing its impurities. The soul possesses two types of
impurities:
1. Mithyätva - false or illusionary knowledge about its own
(soul’s) nature or attributes and about worldly reality
(ignorance about own’s own nature)
2. Kashäyas or Vices - which are anger, ego, deceit, greed,
and other vices
To remove such impurities, from the practical point of view,
Jainism has prescribed six essential practices known as Six
Ävashyakas which are to be performed daily.
Hence one needs to understand that the performance of these
Avashyak rituals is considered religious act only if we are able to
reduce our ignorance and vices after the performance of these
rituals.
Six Ävashyakas or Practices:
1 Sämäyika To remain in Equanimous state
for certain duration
2 Chauvisattho or To praise the qualities of Arihant /
Chaturvimshati-stava Tirthankars
3 Vandanä Respecting Spiritual personalities
and elders
4 Pratikraman Repentance and Confession of
Sins and Violations of Vows
5 Käyotsarga Perform Meditation of certain
duration in Yoga Posture
6 Pratyäkhyäna or Live a life by Practicing some or
Pachchakhäna all External and Internal penances
Monks and nuns and devoted Jain lay people (Shrävaks and
Shrävikäs) staunchly observe these rituals while others practice
them to the best of their ability.
The history of Jain literature indicates that initially the rituals of all
six Avashyakas were performed separately. However over the
_____________________________________________________
PREFACE
period of time the 4th essential “Pratikraman” ritual has been

expanded to include all six essential acts (six Ävashyaka).
Hence the present Pratikraman ritual which covers all six
Ävashyaka or six essential acts, occupies an important place in
the Jain tradition, comparable to Sandhyä in the Vedic (Hindu)
tradition, Namäj in Islam, Kharavela Avesta in the Zoroastrian
faith, and confessional prayer in the Jewish & Christian traditions.
The Pratikraman ritual is done by reciting various sutras and
reflecting on their meaning. These sutras cover all six essential
rituals.
The Shwetambar Murtipujak Tradition Pratikraman Sutras are
compiled in this book. The Jaina Education Committee will be
publishing similar books for other traditions.
Sutras are compiled with English Meaning
For daily morning and evening Pratikraman rituals, 51 different
sutras are used as per the ritual process. These Sutras are listed
in their original language, either Ardhamagadhi Prakrut or
Sanskrut along with their English transliteration, and meaning in
simple English. We have also provided some history and general
meaning of these Sutras in this book
Pachchakhän
During the Pratikraman ritual, it is required that we need to take
certain vows. All Sutras related to vows are listed in Hindi and in
English in the Pachchakhäna chapter of this book.
Proper Recitation of Sutra.
To receive the maximum spiritual benefit of the Pratikraman ritual,
it is required that each sutra be recited in its proper Chhand
(method of recitation). We have compiled the list of each Sutra
and its corresponding Chhanda in the Chhanda chapter of this
book.
Mudras or Postures
Also, to receive maximum spiritual benefit, each sutra be recited in
a proper physical posture. We have compiled a list of Postures
(with photographs) in which the Sutras need to be recited. See the
chapter on Mudra
_____________________________________________________
Muhapatti Padilehan Ritual
During the Pratikraman ritual, Muhapatti is given significant
importance in the Shwetambar tradition. There is a proper
process established to inspect the Muhapatti. Also during the
inspection process, one needs to recite and reflect upon virtues of
our soul. All such details with photos are defined in the chapter
called Padilehana of the Muhapatti.

PREFACE
Modification of One Sutra

We needed to modify one sentence “Pradhänam Sarva
Dharmänäm” of “Sarva Mangal Mängalyam” stanza of the
Jayaviyarai and the Laghu Shanti sutras.
The popular meaning of the sentence is “Jainism is the best
religion among all other religions”. This meaning is not conducive
to the basic Jain Principle of Anekantvad and also not conducive
to American cultural environment. This stanza is in Sanskrit
language while all other stanzas of Jayaviyarai sutra are in Prakrit
Language.
The Jain history indicates that this stanza was added sometimes
after 12th century (1700 years after Lord Mahavir’s Nirvana).
Hence it is not a part of the original sutra.
The following is the modified sutra:
सवह-मंगल-मांगल्यं, सवह-कल्याण-कारणम ्.
मोक्षाथहम ् सवह जीवानाम,् जैनं जयतत शासनम ्
Sarva-mangala-mängalyam, sarva-kalyäna-käranam.
Mokshartham sarva jivänäm, jainam jayati shäsanam
Jain philosophy and its practice are auspicious and the
cause of all spiritual prosperity. It wishes that all living
beings attain liberation.
We apologize if you feel that this action is inappropriate. Some of
our contributors do not agree with the change also. However, the
main purpose of this book is to teach the Pratikraman sutras to
American Jain youth living in the American cultural environment.
We seek forgiveness for any mistake, oversight, understatement,
or overstatement in the material presented here. We request you
to use the material objectively and provide positive suggestions so
that we can incorporate them into future revisions.

PRATIKRAMAN - OBSERVANCE OF SELF-REFLECTION
Pratikraman - Observance of Self-Reflection

Jainism believes that from time immemorial, every soul is full of
impurities. Mithyätva (Ignorance) and Kashäya (anger, ego, deceit,
and greed) which arise from attachment and hatred are the soul’s
impurities.
To reduce and to remove such impurities, Jainism has prescribed
certain practices known as Ävashyaka (essential practices) to be
performed daily and regularly by all Jains.
These practices free the human mind from negative thoughts of
attachment and hatred and enhance the soul's spiritual progress,
ultimately leading to liberation.
Ancient Jain literature defines six such activities.
Six Ävashyaks or Daily Practices:
1. Sämäyika State of Equanimity for certain
duration
2. Chauvisattho or Devotional Prayer to Tirthankars
Chaturvimshati-Stava
3. Vandanä Respecting Ascetics
4. Pratikraman Repentance and Confession of
Sins of minor violations of Vows
5. Käyotsarga Non-attachment to the Body
6. Pratyäkhyäna or Religious Vows
Pachchakhäna
Each Ävashyak ritual includes many original Sutras written in
Ardha-Mägadhi and Sanskrit languages. These Sutras consist of
many hymns in praise of the Tirthankaras and many verses of
repentance, confession, and requests for forgiveness.
1. - Sämäyika - State of Equanimity
To remain in the state of equanimity without attachment and
hatred, and to treat all living beings equal to one’s self is called
Sämäyika. Equanimity is the act of remaining calm and tranquil. It
implies neutrality of mind and temper. It is essential for the
practice of nonviolence and removal of Mithyätva and Kashäyas,
which ultimately removes all Karma.
_____________________________________________________
This ritual is performed to develop equal regard towards all living

beings, equanimity towards pleasure and pain, and to be free from
attachment and aversion.
During Sämäyika, a devotee renounces worldly activities, fully
controls his or her mind, speech and bodily activities, and lives the
life of an ascetic. It is important to remain calm, meditate, read
scriptures, or perform pratikramana ritual and request for
forgiveness for one’s sins.
One should reflect on the following attributes of the soul:
Equanimity towards all beings
Self-control with pure aspirations
Abandonment of all thoughts tainted by desire and aversion.
During Sämäyika, if one thinks about material happiness, family,
friends, and relationships, all of which are not true reflections of
the soul, one should meditate on the Sutra called:
"NÄ-HAM" - I am not that
To reinforce identification with the soul, which has the qualities
of perfect knowledge, vision, bliss, and power, meditate on the
Sutra:
"SO-HAM" - I am that
By meditating on the true nature of the soul, bad karmas (sins)
are eradicated. Therefore, it is recommended that all Jains
perform Sämäyika as often as possible and at any time of the
day.
Types of Sämäyika
There are two types of Sämäyika - partial and complete.
Complete Sämäyika relates to monks and nuns because they
practice equanimity at all times. The partial Sämäyika is for lay
people (Shrävaks and Shrävikäs) so that they can learn to
gradually detach themselves from all external objects. The
minimum duration for the partial Sämäyika is 48 minutes.
_____________________________________________________
2. - Chaturvimshati Stava - Prayer to Tirthankars

This is the reverential worship of the twenty-four Tirthankars to
reflect on their qualities, such as freedom from attachment and
aversion (Vitarägatva).
Types of Devotional Prayer
The devotional prayer is also of two types; external (dravya) and
internal (bhäva). To express one’s devotion by worshipping
Tirthankars' murtis with purifying substances like rice and flowers
constitutes external praise (dravya stuti), while to devotionally
praise their inherent qualities is internal praise (bhäva stuti).
During Pratikraman, this is accomplished through the recitation of
the following Sutras
Namutthunam Sutra praises the qualities and virtues of the
Tirthankar
Logassa Sutra worships all 24 Tirthankars by name
Jaya Viyaräya Sutra is a devotional prayer to Tirthankar
Pukkhara-vara-di Sutra salutes the teachings (Ägam scriptures) of
the Tirthankaras
Siddhänam buddhänam sutra bows to all Siddhas along with Lord
Mahävir and the pilgrimage (Tirtha) places where the Tirthankaras
have attained nirvana
These prayers inspire an individual to practice these ideals in
his/her own life.
3. - Vandanä – Respecting Ascetics
Vandanä means paying respect to all ascetics including Ächäryas,
Upädhyäyas, and all Sädhus and Sädhvis.
Types of Vandanä:
There are three types of Vandanä defined in Jain literature.
1. If we meet an ascetic on the road or any other places, we can
just bow our head by saying ‘Matthaena Vandämi’ or ‘Vandämi
Namamsämi’, which means I bow to you.
_____________________________________________________
2. If we visit ascetics in their Upäshray (temporary residence of

monks and nuns), then we should inquire about their well-being
and request forgiveness for any impoliteness towards them.
3. Pratikraman ritual should be done in the presence of an ascetic.
During the Pratikraman ritual, one recites Suguru Vandanä sutra,
which is a complete Vandanä of an ascetic.
4. - Pratikraman – Repentance and Confession of Sins
"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.
Therefore, 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.
Types of Pratikraman
Jain monks and nuns must perform this ritual in accordance with
tradition. Devoted Jain lay people staunchly observe this ritual
while others practice it as often as possible.
It is recommended that Pratikraman be done twice a day, once in
the morning known as Räi Pratikraman and once in the evening
known as Devasi Pratikraman. The morning Pratikraman is for the
atonement of minor violations of vows incurred during the night
and the evening Pratikraman is for the minor violation of vows of
the day.
There is a special Pratikraman for every fortnight (Pakkhi), every
four months (Chaumäsi), and yearly (Samvatsari) Pratikraman if
not possible to perform the daily Pratikramans.
The annual Pratikraman that all Jains should strive to observe is
called Samvatsari Pratikraman. The Samvatsari Pratikraman is
performed on the last day of Paryushan and is followed by
forgiveness, i.e. asking forgiveness for our wrongdoings to all
living beings and forgiving others for their faults.
_____________________________________________________
It generates feelings of friendliness and love towards all.

Pratikraman (self-analysis) can make our lives happy and peaceful
as well as build a harmonious society.
Dravya and Bhäva Pratikraman
The Jain ethics system outlines 5 great vows to be practiced by
monks and nuns who have totally renounced worldly life. However
for lay people, it outlines 12 vows (Vratas) of limited nature that
are less intense than those followed by monks and nuns. Jainism
defines that everyone should strive to adopt these vows according
to one's individual capacity and circumstances. The ultimate goal
is to accept them as full vows.
In order to effectively avoid sinful activities, one should abandon
wrong belief (Mithyätva), an un-restrained lifestyle (Avirati),
unawareness, laziness, or lethargy (Pramäda), passions
(Kashäya) and inauspicious activities of body, speech, and mind
(Aprashasta Yoga).
To accept right faith or conviction, achieve self-restraint, become
spiritually vigilant, cultivate good qualities like compassion and
nonviolence, and attain the true nature of soul after giving up
worldly activities is the essence of Pratikraman. In other words, it
means returning to and reaffirming the path of nonviolence,
truthfulness, and non-attachment.
During Pratikraman, a lay person reflects on these vows and
repents and requests for forgiveness for minor violations (known
as Atichär) that may have been committed knowingly or
unknowingly. Contemplation on each of these vows takes place
so that we are more aware of such circumstances and can avoid
such minor violations of vows in the future.
If Pratikraman is performed only to confess past sinful acts
and with an open declaration not to commit them in future,
but the individual readily commits sinful activities, then this
type of recitation of the ritual is called Dravya or external
Pratikraman. Dravya Pratikraman is not useful; on the
contrary, it is harmful. It deceives one’s own self and is
meant simply to deceive others.
If after the performance of Pratikraman ritual, an individual
minimizes or eliminates sinful activities in real life, then the
_____________________________________________________
Pratikraman is called Bhäva or internal Pratikraman, which is very

useful for purification of the soul.
Eligibility to do Pratikraman
Jain literature clearly indicates that the Pratikraman ritual is meant
for repenting and requesting forgiveness for:
“one’s past minor violations of the vows that may have
occurred knowingly or unknowingly”.
As previously mentioned, monks and nuns are to follow the five
great vows and for lay people, there are 12 vows of limited nature.
Hence the Pratikraman ritual is meant for monks, nuns and only
those lay people who follow these vows. The logic is that if one
does not practice the vows, then the question of repenting and
forgiveness of minor violations of the vows does not arise.
Many Jain lay people do not practice the 12 vows. Therefore,
after understanding the purpose and meaning of our great ritual,
every Jain should strive to adopt the 12 vows of lay people
according to their capacity and circumstances. They should
review them before Samvatsari Pratikramana and improve their
limits every year in such a way that ultimately they will be able to
fully practice the vows and live an ascetic life.
Inclusion of Six Ävashyaks in the Ancient Pratikraman
Ävashyak
During the last few centuries, review of Jain literature indicates
that the word “Pratikraman” is used as a common noun for all six
essential acts (six Ävashyakas). This is also meaningful because
during the course of time the Pratikraman ritual has been
expanded and enhanced to include the sutras of all other
Ävashyakas. This way lay people can easily complete all six daily
Ävashyak rituals within 48 minutes.
5. - Käyotsarga – Meditation in a Yoga Posture
Käyä means body and Utsarga means moving away or rising
above. Hence, Käyotsarga means rising above bodily activities to
focus on the inner self, thus developing non-attachment towards
our body while in meditation (Käyotsarga). To perform Käyotsarga
in its true form, it is necessary to give up all passions.
_____________________________________________________
Attachment to one’s body must be renounced in order to perform

virtuous meditation (Dharma Dhyäna) and pure meditation (Shukla
Dhyäna). During Pratikraman ritual, this is accomplished by
meditation upon Namaskär Sutra or Loggassa Sutra for certain
duration after repentance and confession of sins.
6. - Pratyäkhyäna or Pachchakhäna – Taking Religious
Vows
Taking religious vows (self-control, renunciation of sinful activities,
or doing pious activities) is called pratyäkhyäna. This declaration
is of two types - external (Dravya) and internal (Bhäva).
External or Dravya pratyäkhyäna
Renunciation of external things like food, shelter and other
possessions is Dravya pratyäkhyäna.
Internal or Bhäva Pratyäkhyäna
Renunciation of internal impure states of the soul such as
ignorance, anger, greed, ego, deceit, non-restraint, attachment
and aversion are known as Bhäva or true Pratyäkhyäna.
One cannot attain true Bhäva Pratyäkhyäna without performing
complete Dravya Pratyäkhyäna. For instance, one can begin by
renouncing delicious food and other luxuries and live a simple life.
The true performance of Bhäva pratyäkhyäna (true renunciation)
leads to stoppage of new karma (Samvara), which gives rise to
ultimate equanimity (Sambhäva), and the attainment of liberation.
Hence the religious vows foster spiritual advancement through
self-control.
What you are is God's gift to you.

What you make of yourself is your gift to God.

01. नमस्कार मंगल सूत्र - NAMASKÄR M ANGAL SUTRA
01. नमस्कार मंगल सूत्र - Namaskär Mangal Sutra

01. Introduction
Namaskär Mangal Sutra, popularly known as Namaskär Mantra,
Navakär Mantra or Namokkär Mantra, is the most revered prayer
in Jainism. It offers obeisance to the five supreme beings known
as Pancha Parmeshtis, namely: Arihanta, Siddha, Ächärya,
Upädhyäy and Sädhus which include all monks and nuns of any
religion of the world who practice the 5 great vows of conduct.
In the first and second sentences obeisance is offered to the
omniscient beings, which are Arihantas and Siddhas. In the third,
fourth and the fifth sentences obeisance is offered to ascetics who
are Ächäryas, Upädhyäys and all Sädhus and Sädhvis of the
world. The sutra offers obeisance to the qualities of Pancha
Parmeshtis not to the individuals. The remaining four sentences
explain the importance and benefit of these obeisances. There
are a total of 108 qualities or attributes of these five supreme
beings. The Jain rosary (Mälä) has 108 beads signifying these
attributes.
Arihanta – 12, Siddha – 8, Ächärya – 36, Upädhyäy – 25, and
Sädhu – 27 = Total - 108

Eso pancha-namukkäro, Savva-päva-ppanäsano;
Mangalänam cha savvesim, Padhamam havai mangalam.
01. General Meaning
Namo Arihantänam
I bow to the Arihantas (Tirthankars) who have reached
enlightenment by conquering or eliminating all their Kashäya
(vices) such as anger, ego, deceit, greed, and inner weaknesses,
who have attained infinite knowledge, vision, bliss, and power and
have shown the path to the lay people that brings the cycle of
birth, life, and death to an end.
Namo Siddhänam
I bow to the Siddhas or liberated souls that have attained the state
of perfection and immortality after the attainment of Keval-Jnäna
and after completing their current duration of life, thereby
achieving total freedom from all karma. In this way they have
completely ended the cycle of birth, life, and death.
By destroying all 8 types of karmas Siddhas acquire 8 unique
attributes of their soul. They are as follows:
Anant Jnän Infinite knowledge
Anant Darshan Infinite perception
Avyäbädha Sukha Eternal happiness
Anant Chäritra Perfect conduct
Akshaya Sthiti Immortality
_____________________________________________________
Arupitva Formlessness
Aguru Laghutva No Social Status
Anant Virya Infinite Power and Energy
Namo Äyariyänam
I bow to the Ächäryas, who head the order, and who preach the
principles of religion by showing us the path of liberation, i.e., the
path of Right Conviction or Faith, Right Knowledge, and Right
Conduct.
Namo Uvajjhäyanam
I bow to the Upädhyäys, who are the religious scholars and guides
of the scriptures. They explain to us the true nature of the soul
and karma, their relationship, and the importance of our spiritual
lives over our material lives.
Namo Loe Savva Sähunam
I bow to all ascetics who strictly follow the five great vows of
conduct and inspire us to live a simple life. The five vows are:
Ahimsa (Nonviolence and Compassion), Satya (Truthfulness),
Asteya (Non-stealing), Brahmacharya (Chastity), and Aparigraha
(Non-possessiveness and Non-attachment)
Eso Pancha Namukkäro
To these five types of great souls, I offer my obeisance.

May such obeisance help diminish my sins.

After requesting forgiveness from all living beings of the universe,
the next step is to discipline one-self in order to avoid future sins.
This is done via Käyotsarga or käussagga (meditation for certain
duration in a motionless meditative posture)
By reciting Tassa Uttari Sutra, one declares the intension of
meditation in motionless posture. This meditation also helps to
reduce our vices (Kashäyas), which in turn reduces our past bad
karmas.
The five purposes of Kaussaga are: Atonement, Repentance,
Purification, Removal of Obstacles and Uprooting Sinful Activities.

09. करे मम भंते सूत्र - KAREMI BHANTE SUTRA
09. करे मम भंते सूत्र - Karemi Bhante Sutra

09. Introduction
Karemi Bhante Sutra is recited to take the vow of Sämäyika.
Sämäyika means equanimity. In essence, the person follows the
five great vows of conduct for the duration of Sämäyika. Also one
decides not to do or promote any sin by thought, word or deed.
During the duration of Sämäyika (48 min), one should do
meditation, Pratikraman, or religious study, and otherwise recite
Namaskär Sutra continuously in silence. One should not attend to
or think of any worldly matters.

09. करे मम भंते सूत्र - KAREMI BHANTE SUTRA
Appänam vosirämi. ................................................................... 1.
09. Sutra Meaning:

Oh respected Guruji! I vow to give up all sinful activities. I criticize
myself for my wrongful actions. As long as I remain in Sämäyika, I
shall not commit any sinful activity in thought, speech, or action
nor shall I encourage anyone to indulge in such activities. Oh!
Bhagawän, I hate myself for committing sinful activities. I repent
and apologize for committing sinful activities. I condemn and
censure myself for such sinful activities. By the virtue of Sämäyika,
I am determined to free myself from worldly bondage. ............. 1.
Whatever I say, you must test this with your own reasoning
and verify it through your own experience.
Do not accept what I say blindly by faith alone until it passes
the litmus test of intellection. Otherwise, it will never be
yours.
If you accept what I teach on the basis of the sacred texts,
or from my convincing reasoning, or even because of my
radiant personality, but not by testing with your own
reasoning, then in the end this will create only darkness
(ignorance) in you and not light.

10. सामाइय-वय-जुत्तो सूत्र - SÄMÄIYA-VAYA-JUTTO SUTRA
10. सामाइय-वय-जुत्तो सूत्र - Sämäiya-Vaya-jutto Sutra

10. Introduction
The prescribed duration of Sämäyika is 48 minutes. The Karemi
Bhante Sutra is recited to take the vow of Sämäyika, while
Sämäiya Vaya Jutto Sutra is recited to terminate the vow of
Sämäyika.
In this sutra, the greatness of the sämäyika vow is shown. As long
as a person is under the oath of sämäyika he is equivalent to a
saint. This sutra is uttered to end the vow of Sämäyika but one
must remember to adore this sacred characteristic duty of a laity
and to maintain the enduring wish of performing the sämäyika
again and again.
With regard to the vow of Sämäyika, one should avoid several
faults like sinful thought, sinful speech, or inappropriate body
movement. Not being attentive about the vow and purpose of
Sämäyika, not following prescribed procedure, or being lazy are
also considered as faults. The instincts of eating, fear, pleasure,
and possessiveness should be avoided during Sämäyika.

10. Sutra Meaning:
As long as someone observes the vow of Sämäyika, and
maintains full control over his mind, his bad Karmas (sins) are
eradicated. Moreover, whenever a person is under the vow of
Sämäyika, he is just like a monk. Therefore, one should do
Sämäyika over and over again.
I took the vow of this Sämäyika according to the prescribed
method and I shall terminate the vow of Sämäyika also in the
prescribed method. I ask for your pardon, if I have deviated from
the prescribed method mentally, verbally, or physically.
If I have committed any of the 10 faults of mental activity, 10 faults
of speech or 12 faults of bodily actions, through my mind, speech,
or body respectively, I apologize for the same and ask for your
forgiveness.

Oh! Guru Mahäräj, please voluntarily give me permission to do
Chaitya Vandan. (If Guru Mahäräj is present, he will say, “Please

Oh! Tirthankar Bhagawän, you are like the best of the best jewel
(Chintämani). You are the ultimate head of the universe. You are
the preceptor of the whole universe. You are the protector of the
universe. You are like an elder brother to the whole universe.
You are the guide of the entire universe and you perceive the

Tirthankaras, your Murtis are consecrated on Mt. Ashtäpad. You
have eradicated all eight categories of Karma. The four-fold Jain
order established by you will go on forever. You are the greatest

In all Karma Bhumi, there may exist simultaneously a maximum
170 Jineshvar Bhagawän, who are endowed with the unique and
best physiques, 90 million omniscient (Kevaljnäni) and, 90000
million monks. I pray every day in the early morning to the twenty
Tirthankaras (of this time cycle and of Bharat Kshetra), 20 million
omniscient monks and, 20,000 million other monks who are
currently present. ...................................................................... 3

Rushabhdev, your Murti graces Mt. Shatrunjay, Oh! Neminäth
Bhagawän, your Murti graces Mt. Girnär, Oh! Bhagawän Mahävir

and you eradicate the sufferings and the sins of the people. I offer
my obeisance to all the Jineshvar Bhagawän, who may have ever
existed anytime in the past, may exist anytime in the future and
are present now anywhere in the universe. .............................. 4.
_____________________________________________________
I am bowing down to 8,57,000,282 eternal temples and

15,42,58,36,080 eternal Tirthankar Murtis, which are always
present in the universe. ............................................................. 5.
According to Jain scriptures, the shape of universe resembles like
a man standing with his hands on his waist and his legs wide
apart.
The universe is divided in three parts:
Very top of the universe is known as Siddhashilä, where the
liberated souls exist.
Area above the waist (upper part) is the place where the heavens
are located.
Humans live in the middle part
Hell is located in the lower part, below the waist.
In the middle part, which is known as Madhya-Lok, there are
innumerable numbers of concentric circles of land alternating with
ocean.
The most central part is a land known as Jambu Dvip (Island).
Jambu Dvip is surrounded by a ring of ocean. This ocean is
surrounded by a ring of land, known as Dhätaki Khand, and the
next land in the series is known as Pushkar Dvip.
Dhätaki Khand is twice the size of Jambu Dvip and Pushkar Dvip
is twice the size of Dhätaki Khand.
Jambu Dvip is divided in three sections. The northern part is
known as Airävat Kshetra, the southern part is known as Bharat
Kshetra and the middle section is known as Mahä Videha Kshetra.
We live in Jambu Dvip and India is located in Bharat Kshetra.
Dhätaki Khand being twice in size as of Jambu Dvip thus has two
Bharat Kshetra, two Airävat Kshetra and two Mahä Videha
Kshetra.
Accordingly Pushkar Dvip has four of each Kshetras.
The whole of Jambu Dvip, the whole of Dhätaki Khand and only
half of the Pushkar Dvip are considered as Karma Bhumi.
_____________________________________________________
Thus Karma Bhumi consists of 5 Bharat Kshetras, 5 Airävat

Kshetras and 5 Mahä Videha Kshetras.
Tirthankar Bhagawän does not exist in Bharat Kshetra and Airävat
Kshetra at all times. If they do, there can be only one living
Tirthankar Bhagawän per each Kshetra.
Mahä Videha Kshetra is further divided in 32 sections, each known
as Vijay. In each Vijay of Mahä Videha Kshetra there may exist
one Tirthankar Bhagawän at any given time.
However, at any given time there are at least four Vijay, where
Tirthankar Bhagawän is present. Thus, in Mahä Videha Kshetra
there could be a maximum of 32 Tirthankar Bhagawän and a
minimum of 4 Tirthankar Bhagawän at any given time.
Hence the maximum number of Tirthankar Bhagawän that may
exist simultaneously in Karma Bhumi are as follows.
5 Bharat Kshetra 5
5 Airävat Kshetra 5
5 Mahä Videha Kshetra 5 x 32 = 160
Total - Maximum Number of 170
Tirthankar
The minimum number of Tirthankar Bhagawän present at any

given time is as follows:
5 Mahä Videha Kshetra 5 x 4 = 20.
A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.

15. Introduction
In this Sutra, obeisance is offered to all Sädhu Mahäräj and
Sädhviji Mahäräj present anywhere in Bharat Kshetra, Airävat
Kshetra and in Mahä Videha Kshetra. This is to express our
respect to them and for helping us and guiding us in our spiritual
journey.
This Sutra is also Known as ‘Sarva Sädhu Vandan Sutra’ (Sarva
means all) as obeisance is offered to all Sädhu and Sädhvi
Mahäräj present anywhere in all 15 Karma Bhumi, namely 5
Bharat Kshetra, 5 Airävat Kshetra and 5 Mahavideha Kshetra
In Bharat Kshetra (where we live) and in Airävat Kshetra people
are not always fortunate enough to have the physical presence of
Arihant Bhagawän and thus, we do not have the benefit of His
sermons or His guidance. In such times it is the Guru Mahäräj,
who preach through their sermons and guide us on the path
leading to Moksha as originally preached by Arihant Bhagawän.

they cause others to do the same; nor they praise others who
commit sinful activity. I bow down to all such Sädhu Mahäräj and
Sädhviji Mahäräj, present anywhere in Bharat Kshetra, Airävat
Kshetra and in Mahä Videha Kshetra; by my thoughts, by my
speech and by my body. ........................................................... 1.

Pärshva Näth Bhagawän. Recitation of this Sutra brings forth
desired beneficial results as it pleases Pärshva Yaksha due to his

17. Sutra Meaning:

Oh! Shree Pärshva Näth Bhagawän, I am bowing down to you.
Even your caretaker Yaksha Pärshva is capable of nullifying the
unfavorable situations caused by other people and/or other
elements. You have eradicated all Karmas and thus you are free
of all Karmas. You are capable of nullifying the poison of the most
poisonous snake. You are the abode of bliss and unending
happiness.
Those people, who recite with faith the Mantra known as ‘Visahara
Fullinga Mantra’, their misfortunes, chronic illness, plague and
other fatal epidemic diseases and febrile illnesses are cured.
Let alone recitation of this Mantra, even sincere obeisance to you
is a cause of good fortune. Those, who offer sincere obeisance to
you with a deep faith, will have a life free of sufferings and bad
luck, in all of their future human or animal lives.
Attainment of the right knowledge and right faith, as preached by
you, is even more precious than Chintämani and Kalpa Vruksha .
Upon their attainment, one attains Moksha without difficulty, where
there is no old age or death.
Oh! Universally revered Pärshva Näth Bhagawän, I eulogize you
with a heart full of devotion. Oh! Jineshvar Pärshva Näth
Bhagawän, I wish for the right knowledge, right faith and, right
conduct in all my future lives.
_____________________________________________________

Bhadrabähu Swämi’s brother Varähmihir was also a Jain monk.
But for some reason he renounced monk-hood and started to
make a living as a fortune-teller. Once he wrongly forecast the
lifespan of a prince and as a result, the king sentenced him to
death. After his death, he was born as a Vyantar Dev. He then
spread the epidemic of plague (a fatal infectious disease) in the
Jain Sangh. Ächärya Bhadrabähu Swämi then composed
Uvasagga-haram Sutra and taught it to the people. It is said that
continuous recitation of Uvasagga-haram Sutra eradicated the
epidemic of plague.
Pärshva Yaksha is the caretaker Yaksha of Tirthankar Bhagawän
Shree Pärshva Näth. When a “Tirthankar Bhagawän-to-be”
attains Kevaljnän, Shakrendra, the supreme Deva of Saudharma
Devaloka, due to his deep devotion to Him, assigns a dedicated
Yaksha at His service.
‘Visahara Fulinga’ Mantra is as follows:
‘Namiuna Päs Visahara Vasaha Jin Fulinga’
This Mantra is also recited by adding certain other holly words
such as the following version composed by renowned Ächärya
Shree Mäntung Suri
‘Om Rhim Shreem Arham Namiuna Päs Visahara Vasaha Jina
Fuling Rhim Namaha’
Jain Karma philosophy states that one has to suffer the resultant
effects of one’s own Karma or eradicate those Karmas by internal
austerities.
Tirthankar Bhagawän are Vitarägi and hence do not help anyone
directly. Then the obvious question is how recitation of this or any
other Mantra will be of help.
Let us now consider the importance of Mantra. As you know,
Ägams are compiled from the sermons of Bhagawän Shree
Mahävir Swämi. The last Ägam, which is now considered to be
completely lost, is known as Drashtiväda. Fourteen Purvas are
parts of this ägam. Fourteen Purvas clearly mention the
importance of Mantra.
_____________________________________________________
Recitation of Mantra for worldly gains and benefits is prohibited.

However, if a Mantra is recited with devotion and faith to alleviate
sufferings of other people, to eradicate natural calamities, or for
the protection of Jain temples, Jain religion and Sangh, it will
definitely eliminate these misfortunes.
It is however important to remember that Mantra is expression of
devotion to heavenly beings and Yaksha and Yakshini only. They
are not liberated and thus are able to bring forth the beneficial
results of Mantra.
Uvasagga-haram Sutra is a devotional Sutra dedicated to Shree
Pärshva Näth Bhagawän. Recitation of this Sutra brings forth the
desired beneficial results (as stated before) as it pleases Pärshva
Yaksha due to his deep devotion to Pärshva Näth Bhagawän.
Charity at its Peak
Ascetic Mahävir donates a piece of heavenly cloth to poor.

The cloth was left on his shoulder by Lord Indra, the king of
heavenly gods, after his self initiation. (Shvetämbar
Tradition)

22. पुक्खर-वर-िीवड्ढे सूत्र - Pukkhara-Vara-Divaddhe

Sutra
22. Introduction
This is a hymn in praise of Jain doctrine, which drives away the
darkness of ignorance (that which closes our mind to right
knowledge).
The first verse is devoted to the infinite number of Jinas who take
birth in 15 continents of the Universe; the rest is in praise of the
scriptures.
Lord Tirthankaras give discourses after they realize absolute
knowledge. The chief disciples, after listening to these discourses,
compose the scriptures, which are called Ägamas. Each word of a
Tirthankara is meaningful and auspicious. They show the path of
purification for a soul to attain moksha.

web of delusion. ........................................................................ 2
The sacred doctrine which ends the sorrows of birth, old age, and
death and that which brings everlasting bliss, which is worshiped
by gods, demons and kings. How can, one who understands its
essence, ever become careless in following it? ........................ 3
Oh wise men! Pay respectful salutations to the scriptures (shruta
dharma) of the Tirthankaras, which are proven to be the most
superior doctrine, and the most beneficial in the path of right
conduct, and are faithfully worshiped by empyrean gods (vaimänik
deva), mansion dwelling gods (bhavanapati deva), luminous gods
(jyotishka deva) and forest gods (vyantara deva). Let this sacred
doctrine, which includes a detailed description of all the six
substances, all the three worlds and the living beings in each, be
triumphant. May it be victorious and may it promote the dignity of
the other tenets like minor and major vows. ............................. 4.
Note - for Kausagga during Pratikraman

Oh god of sruta! To worship the scripture, I will perform meditation
posture. (kayotsarga)

Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the

- John Wesley
Mindfulness is waking up and living in harmony with oneself
and with the world and appreciating the fullness of each
moment of life.
Lord Buddha
Religion does not guarantee that there shall be no sorrow or
suffering. But it does guarantee that there shall be strength
to face them calmly.

31. Sutra Meaning:

Jain literature indicates that in the universe, there exist 8.4 million
(84 lakhs) different forms of life based on their birth location. They
are classified as follows:
Seven lakhs (700,000) forms of living beings with earth as its body
Seven lakhs (700,000) forms of living beings with water as its body
Seven lakhs (700,000) forms of living beings with fire as its body
Seven lakhs (700,000) forms of living beings with air as its body
Ten lakhs (1,000,000) forms of above-ground vegetation with one
soul in every independent living body,
Fourteen lakhs (1,400,000) forms of below-ground vegetation with
multiple souls in every independent living body
Two lakhs (200,000) forms of living beings with two sense organs
Two lakhs (200,000) forms of living beings with three sense
organs
Two lakhs (200,000) forms of living beings with four sense organs
Four lakhs (400,000) forms of heavenly beings
Four lakhs (400,000) forms of living beings of hell
Four lakhs (400,000) forms of animals with five sense organs
Fourteen lakhs (1,400,000) forms of human beings
Out of eighty four lakhs (8.4 million) forms of living beings, if I may
have hurt any living beings, have caused others to hurt them,
_____________________________________________________
encouraged others to hurt them, or praised those who hurt them,
either by thoughts, words, and/or actions, I ask forgiveness for all
such sinful activities. I forgive all living beings, may all living
beings forgive me, I am friendly to all, I have enmity for none.
In this verse, how are total of only 8.4 million of wombs (yonis) are
counted?
In this universe, infinite numbers of birth places exist for any
worldly soul for its rebirth.. However the groups of birth places
with similar color, odor, taste, touch and shape are considered as
one type. Thus the number of birth places is counted as 8.4
million.
How is the number of species determined in each type of living
being?
In each kind of living beings the types of species are halved in
hundred.
Each specie will have 5 types of colors (black, green, red,
yellow and white)
Two types of odors (pleasant and foul smelling)
Five types of tastes (hot, bitter, rusty, sour and sweet)
Eight types of touches (cold, warm, soft, hard, large/heavy,
small/light, smooth and rough) and
5 types of shapes (triangle, square, rectangle, round and
oval).
By multiplying all the factors the final number of species is
determined.
For example, earth bodies are 700,000. Halved in hundred this
number is 350. Multiplying this number with all the other factors:
350x5x2x5x8x5=700,000.
The exact source of how the numbers 700, 500, 350, 200, and
100 are derived is not clear.

35. वंदित्तु सूत्र - VANDITTU SUTRA
35. वंदित्तु सूत्र - Vandittu Sutra

35. Introduction
This is the longest principal aphorism of both night (devasika) and
day (räi) Pratikramana. A householder is supposed to observe
five ethical codes of conduct (Ächära) and twelve householder
vows (bärä vrata). This aphorism is to ask forgiveness if any
wrong doings have occurred while observing these vows.
As is the custom, recitation of this sutra begins by first paying
homage to the five supreme beings, and is followed by asking for
forgiveness for any wrong doing committed while following the
house holder’s vows (shrävaka vratta), which a Jain layperson will
take in preparation for the life of a sadhu.

trained physician cures sickness. ........................................ 36, 37

46. वर-कनक स्ततु त -VARA-KANAKA STUTI
46. वर-कनक स्तुतत -Vara-Kanaka Stuti

46. Introduction
At the most 170 Tirthankars can be present simultaneously. They
are respected by remembering their physical complexion, which is
divided in 5 colors.
According to Jain geography, there exist 5 Bhärata, 5 Airävata and
5 Mahävideha continents.
Jains believe that one Tirthankara present at the same time in
each Bhärata and Airavata continent some times during 3rd and
4th era of the time cycle, thus 10 Tirthankaras are present in these
10 continents.
Each continent of Mahävideha has 32 territories, thus there are
(5x32) =160 territories of the 5 Mahävideha continents.
Jains also believe that in each territory of Mahävideha, one
Tirthankar may exist at the same time. Hence there may be 160
Tirthankaras in Mahävideha present at the same time.
Thus, there could be a maximum of (10+160) 170 Tirthankars
existing at the same time.
In the present time cycle, only during the time of Lord Ajitnath, our
second Tirthankar, were all 170 Tirthankars present

Go not to the temple to put flowers upon the feet of God,

First fill your own house with the Fragrance of love...
Go not to the temple to light candles before the altar of God,
First remove the darkness of sin from your heart...
Go not to the temple to bow down your head in prayer,
First learn to bow in humility before your fellowmen...
Go not to the temple to pray on bended knees,
First bend down to lift someone who is down-trodden...
Go not to the temple to ask for forgiveness for your sins,
First forgive from your heart those who have sinned against
you.
- Rabindranath Tagore

51. Sutra Meaning:

To pay obeisance to all the eternal (shäsvata) and non-eternal
(ashäsvata) images of Tirthankars, and to prominent heavenly
gods and seers.
With my hands clasped, I worship all the places of pilgrimage,
because millions of beneficial things happen upon recitation of the
names of Tirthankars. In the first heaven there are 32 hundred
thousand Jina-Temples. I pay my respect to all the Jina images
daily .......................................................................................... 1.
In the second heaven there are 28 hundred thousand; in the third

there are 3 hundred; in nine Grayvayakas there are 318; in the five
heavens of spiritual conquest (anuttara), there are more than 84

(Explanation - There are five Anuttar heavens of Spiritual
Conquest in the topmost part of the Upper World. Their individual
names are Vijayä, Vaijayanta, Jayanta, Aparajita and
Sarvarthasiddha. In the first four heavens, the heavenly gods
(devas) will attain liberation during their third births. Heavenly
gods in the Sarvarthasiddha heaven, the highest and most
sublime, will attain liberation in their next birth. The nine
Graiveyake heavens are so named because they are located near
the neck of the Jain cosmos and just below Anuttara heavens).
There are 97,023 thousand exquisite temples of Tirthankars.
According to the description in scriptures the dimensions of each
temple in the upper world are 100 Yojanas in length (1 Yojana is 4
miles), 50 Yojanas wide and 72 Yojanas in height. I pay homage
to all of them.............................................................................. 5.
_____________________________________________________
It should be remembered that in each Jina Temple with an

assembly hall, there are 180 images of Jina. the ones without an
assembly hall each have 120 images; that makes 152 million 94
hundred thousand and 40 thousand images (1,529,444,760) I bow
to all of them.............................................................................. 6.
In the abyss (deep part) of the middle world, where there are
residence for Bhavanapatis (palace dwelling celestial beings),
there are 7 million 72 thousand huge temples (77,200,000) .... 7.
In each temple, there are 180 images of Jinas. The total comes to
1389 million and 60 thousand images (13,896,000,000) .......... 8.
In the middle world there are 3259 Jain temples, with 3 hundred
thousand 91 thousand 3 hundred and 20 (391,320) images in
them .......................................................................................... 9.
In the regions of forest dwelling gods (vyantardeva) and luminous
gods (jyotishika deva), there are innumerable temples. I pay my
homage to all the images of Jinas in permanently located temples
whose names are Rushabh, Chandränana, Värishena and
Vardhmana................................................................................ 10.
I pay homage and praise all the 20 images on Sametashikhara, 24
images on Ashtäpad Mountain, and all the images on Shatrunjaya
(Vimalächala), Girnära and Abu................................................ 11.
I pay homage to Lord Pärshvanätha at Shankheshwara, Lord
Ajitnätha at Kesariyaji and Tärangä, Antriksha and Varkänä
Pärshvanätha, Jirävalä and Stambhana Pärshvanätha. .......... 12.
I pay homage to all the images in temples of villages, towns, cities
and capital cities of all the provinces of Bhärata; and every day I
respect the 20 existing Tirthankaras of Mahävideha continent and
infinite number of perfected souls (Siddhas) who are
liberated.(siddhapada) .............................................................. 13.
I pay homage every morning to all the sages of two and a half
islands (adhidwipa), who strictly observe themselves and help
others to observe the eighteen thousands restraints, 5 major vows,
the path of fivefold vigilance (samiti) and 5 categories of ethical
behavior (ächära), who have practiced 6 external and 6 internal
austerities and who are full of pious attributes like a string of
precious stones. “Thus”, says Jiv Vijay Maharaj, the composer of
this sutra “I will cross the ocean of the mundane existence” .... 14.

Forgiveness Poem
Forgiveness is letting go of the pain
and accepting what has happened,
because it will not change.
Forgiveness is dismissing the blame.
Choices were made that caused the hurt;
we each could have chosen differently, but we didn't.
Forgiveness is looking at the pain,
learning the lessons it has produced,
and understanding what we have learned.
Forgiveness allows us to move on
towards a better understanding
of universal love and our true purpose.
Forgiveness is knowing that love
is the answer to all questions,
and that we all are in some way connected.
Forgiveness is starting over
with the knowledge that we have gained.
I forgive you, and I forgive myself.
I hope you can do the same.
