Preface The first edition of this booklet was published by the Jain Center of Greater Boston (JCGB) on the occasion of the Pratistha Mahotsava in Boston, Massachusetts, in Mahavira samvat 2528 (2002 AD), In Jain traditons, Sāmāyika is the first and the most important Avaśyaka (essential). It is important to teach Sāmāyika in our Pathashalas in the simplest way possible.
This booklet has been prepared with only one objective; to teach the reader how to perform Sāmāyika if he or she does not know all of the neccessary Sūtrāsa and ritual procedures. A simplified and step-by-step Sāmāyika procedure and the corresponding Sūtrā are presented in this booklet, both of which are understandable for youth. Detailed descussions have been omitted for simplicity.
In addition to providing the Prakrta Sūtrā in the original Dēvanāgari script, we have also presented the corresponding transliterations and translations. We assume that most of the first generation of immigrants are familiar with the Devanāgari script. Therefore, they should be able to read the Sūtrā in Devanāgari, and also should be bale to recite these Sūtrā with correct pronunciations to their children. Having listened to these Prākrta Sūtrā from their teachers and parents, and having a reasonable understanding of English versions written using diacritical marks, children should be able to recite these Sūtrā with correct pronunciations.
We have presented a key to the diacrifical marks on the next page. We believe that it is important to maintain the corred pronunciations of the original languages, without diacritical marks, a word visa can be pronounced in seventeen different ways. However, it is important to study the key to transliteration before attempting to read transliteration. As Enlgish sounds do not exactly correspond with the sounds of Indian languages, English characters often have to be modified by special marks to convey the original sounds. We call these special marks "diacritics." The transliteration tables that we have prepared will make the learning of this system easy. The illustrated guide is used by all academia, except for few minor changes thaty have recently become more common in every day usage. Both of the tables on the next page are self-explanatory.
We wish to emphasize the importance of preserving the original Sanskrit and Prākrta texts. The true expression of our religious texts can only be achieved by preserving the original languages in which they were composed. One can easily see how meaning is lost in attempts to translate Sanskrit words such as "dharma," "karma," and "Moksha" into English. In this case, the simple English equivalents of "religion," "action," and “liberation” do not even come close to expressing the deep spiritual significance of the original Sanskrit or Prāksta words. Therefore, if we abandon our original vocabulary, we also abandon the ideas that our vocabulary was created to express.
Proper application of diacritical marks remains a difficult issue especially for unclear nasal sounds. We have used the Pratikramana Sūtrā book by Muni Shri Nirvāņa Sāgara as the reference for our booklet. We have taken care to avoid mistakes in transliteration and spellings in the Devanagari script. For any mistakes in this booklet, please accept our sincere Micchhami Dukkadam. We encourage your comments and suggestions.

SECTION 1 - How to Use This Booklet
The purpose of this Sāmāyikā booklet This booklet has been prepared with only one objective; to teach the reader how to perform Sāmāyikā if he or she does not know all of the necessary Sūtrā and rituals. A step-by-step procedure is presented in this booklet to facilitate the performance of Sāmāyikā by youths and adults whose native language is English.
How to Use This Booklet This booklet has been prepared primarily for those youth who may not have knowledge of Hindi or Gujarati. Therefore, some of the Sāmāyikā procedures have been kept simple and detailed explanations of the procedures have not been included. This booklet has been prepared in such a manner that the aspirant simply has to read and follow step-by-step procedures in order to properly perform Sāmāyikā. If you have obtained an audiotape with this book, then simply read this book along with the tape. It is necessary that the aspirant becomes familiar with the use of English written with diacritical marks for correct pronunciations. A transliteration guide is presented on the first page. Teachers' and parents' help will also facilitate understanding of the diacritical marks.
Teachers and Parents : Please perform one or two Sāmāyikā with you childern. It will help to simplify their future attempts.
As shown in the following table, each Sūtrā is presented in three different ways; in the original Dēvanāgari script, its English transliteration, and its meaning in English.
(Original Dēvanāgari script)
(English transliteration of the
Dēvanāgari script) (General meaning of the Sūtrā [in English])
(All of the necessary plus additional Sūtrā are presented in Section 6) The Devanāgari script is presented primarily to assist teachers and parents who may be more familiar with Hindi than with English. While performing Sāmāyikā, the aspirant should read the English transliteration only. The meanings are presented solely for informational purposes, and should not be recited while performing Sāmāyikā.

SECTION 2 What is Sāmāyikā
The spiritual meaning of "Sämäyikä" is "Equanimity", which in turn is interpreted as remaining calm and undisturbed, discarding all sinful activities, engaging in spiritual activities in order to be free of all passions, not having feelings of like or dislike, attachement, desire, or aversion. Sāmāyikā is the process that enhances the quality of equanimity. Sāmāyikā is the process that takes one closer to the soul. A purified soul always remains in the state of Sāmāyikā. It implies evenness of mind and temper.
Spiritually, time spent in equanimity is the only meaningful time. No one has attained Moksha, no one is attaining Moksha, and no one will attain Moksha without the practice of Sämäyikā. To treat all living beings equally is to be in the state of Samayikā. To abandon spiritually wrongful activities, and to practice the spiritually right activities is Sāmāyikā. Sāmāyikā is true conduct. Sāmāyika is the essence of the Tirthankar's teachings. It is the first and foremost of the six Avasyaka (essentials).
One has to practice Sāmāyikā to attain right perception, right knowledge, and righty conduct. Jain Sadhus and Sadhvis (monks and nuns) are assumed be in the state of equanimity (Sämäyikä) throughout their life. Therefore, they do not need to perform Sāmāyikā. However, all Jain Śrāvikas and Śrāvikās should perform Sāmāyikā everyday. There is a great detial on the subject of Sāmāyikā in the Jain canonical books. If performing Samayik everyday is not possible, then one should try to perform Sāmāyika as frequently as possible.
SECTION 3 - Preparation for Sāmāyikā
Necessary Accessories: Charavalo, Kaṭāsanu (a small rug made of wool), muhpatti (a clean white piece of cloth folded in a specific pattern). Sāpadō (a stand for books), Navakāravāli (rosary) and religious books

. Gently sweep the floor using charavalo to make the space free of small living beings, and then put a
Katosanu on that space. • Avoid using the restroom during Sāmāyika. • Observe silence during Sāmāyika. • No eating, drinking, or chewing during Sāmāyika. • During the 48 minutes of equanimity, one should perform only religious activities such as reading Jain
books or meditating on the Navakāra Mantra.
SECTION 4 - Step-by-Step Initiation of Sāmāyika
4.1. Consecration of Sthāpanāji
a) The entire Sāmāyika can be performed while sitting down. First, consecrate the Sthāpanāji by placing
a Jain book containing Navakāra Mantra and Panchindiya Sūtra on a Sāpado. This is necessary to
establish a presence of guruji in his/her absence. b) Recite the following Khamāsamanā Sūtra (Sūtra No. 3) while kneeling down; the aspirant pays hom
age to the preceptor (Gurudev). All Sūtrās with English transliterations and meanings are presented in Section 6. Since the Khamāsamaņā Sūtra (Sūtra No. 3) is frequently recited during Sāmāyikā, only its English transliteration will be presented every time it is required. This Sūtrā, presented below, should be memorized.
Ichchhāmi Khamā - Samānā! Vamhiyam Jāvanijjāe Nisihiyae ? Matthēna Vandāmi
c) Keeping the muhapatti in left hand in front of the mouth and extending the right palm towards the
Sthāpanāji, the aspirant should recite Sūtrās No. 1 and 2.
4.2. Iriyāvahiyam Pratikramaņa
The aspirant should then perform (Iriyāvahiyam) Iriyāvahiyam Pratikramana as follows. a) Recite the following Khamāsamaņā by bowing down in a seated position.
Ichchhāmi Khamā - Samāno! Vamhiyam Jāvanijjāē Nisihiyae ? Matthēņa Vandāmi
b) Recite Sūtrās No. 5,6, and 7. At the end of reciting Sūtrā 7, mentally recite one Logassa Sūtra (Sūtra
No. 8) or four Navakāra in Kāyotsarga position. c) After you have completed the above step, say Namo Arihantānam. Then, recite the Logassa Sūtra
aloud. Logassa Sūtra is a prayer of 24 Tirthankaras. This completes the Iriyāvahiyam Pratikramana.

The aspirant will respond by saying "Ichchham (Ichham)”. That means, thank you kindly for grating my wish”. This explanation of "Ichham” is not repeated in the rest of the book. In the absence of a guru, we assume that he/she will grant permission and we say "Ichham" after each time we seek permission from the guruji.

Even an obeisance offered to you will result in many good things. Because of your prayers, human beings and animals will not suffer from sickness and poverty. Upon attaining right faith (as preached by you), which is more valuable than the most precious heavenly jewels, the living beings easily attain the place of immortality. Oh greatly renowned (Lord Pārsvanātha), I have eulogized you with a heart full of devotion. Bestow upon me the seeds of attaining perfect knowledge in all my future births.

Section 7 Pratyākhyāna The meaning of Pratyākhyānas is to give up something for the purpose of execising control over our senses. It also means taking a vow for some specific purpose and for a specific time. When a vow is taken with a Pachchakkhāna, it brings firnness and perseverance of mind. We remain determined to follow our vows. Without a vow, we tend to break our determination with minor inconveniences. Pachchakkhānas (Vows) have a significant importance for our spiritual pursuits. They are considered one of the six essential daily activities of Jain householders. The following few Pratyākhyānas are some of the simplest vows that we all should attempt to observe as frequently as we can. Pratyākhyāna is also called Pachchakkhāņa for simplicity.
Pachchakkhāņa No.1 Chovihāra Pachchakkhāņa
(Evening Pachchakkhāņa 1) दिवस चरिमं पच्चक्खाइ

Sahasā Gārēnam, Mahattarā Gārēnam, सव्व समाहि वत्तिया गारेणं,
Savva Samāhi Vattiyā Gārēņam, वोसिरामि
Võsirāmi
General Meaning I undertake the vow to relinquish, for the rest of the day until sunrise the next day, all types of food and water. The last meal should not be taken very late in the evening. It is desirable that it be taken before it is nighttime.
Pachchakkhāna No. 2 Tivihāra Pachchakkhāna

Divasa Charimam Pachchakkhāi Tivihampi SITET, THU, YU, CIŞA, HISH,

Mahattarā Gārēnam, Sachcha Samāhi Vattiya Gārēņam.
Võsirāmi. alfrih.
General Meaning
I undertake the vow to relinquish, for the rest of the day until the next day sunrise, all types of foods and permissible drinks except for water. The last meal should not be taken too late in the evening. It is acceptable to drink water within couple of hours after your last meal. Water can be taken after reciting three Navkar Mantra and while sitting down.

Võsirāmi
General Meaning :
I give up all types of foods and liquids until 48 minutes after sunrise. I will break this vow by reciting Navakara Mantra and holding my fist closed.
Proper Procedure for Observing This Vow: The main goal of this Pachchakkhāna (vow) is to prevent us from eating at nighttime. 1. The day before you plan to observe this vow, you should not eat at nighttime. If this is impossible, you
should not eat anything after your last evening meal.
Also you should not drink water very late in the evening. 2. You should try to wake up in the morning before sunrise (if possible), and recite the above Pachchak
khāņa in front of a Tirthankara idol or a photo. 3. Anytime after 48 minutes after sunrise, one can break this vow by reciting three Navkars. While recit
ing Navkars, the right fist should be gently clench and touching the ground.

Võsirāmi This Pachchakkhāņa is used for taking any type of vow for performing an austerity. The following are examples of a few suggested simple vows that we should try to observe as frequently as we can. 1) No watching of TV for one day or mor. 2) No meals after sunset 3) No ingestions of underground grown vegetables (or foods containing them) for one day or more. 4) Recitation of three Navkars before you go to bed for a week or more. 5) Make small donation to any charity 6) Not to get angry at any one for a day.
