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, Samayika is the first and the most important Avasyaka (essential). It is important to teach Samayika in our Pathashalas in the simplest way possible. This booklet has been prepared with only one objective; to teach the reader how to perform Samayika if he or she does not know all of the neccessary Sutrasa and ritual procedures. A simplified and step-by-step Samayika procedure and the corresponding Sutra 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 Sutra in the original Devanagari script, we have also presented the corresponding transliterations and translations. We assume that most of the first generation of immigrants are familiar with the Devanagari script. Therefore, they should be able to read the Sutra in Devanagari, and also should be bale to recite these Sutra with correct pronunciations to their children. Having listened to these Prakrta Sutra from their teachers and parents, and having a reasonable understanding of English versions written using diacritical marks, children should be able to recite these Sutra 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 Prakrta 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 Praksta 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 Sutra book by Muni Shri Nirvana Sagara 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. Acknowledgement Premal and Kashmira Vora of Kreate and Print assisted in the printing and graphic design. We want to thank Darshana Shah and Mukesh Doshi of Chicago Jain Center for carefully editing this book and providing valuable suggestions. Compiled by Pankaj, Shrenik and Shardule Shah (781)-449-3297 249 Hillside Ave., Needham, MA 02494 1. Pankaj Shah is Pathshala teacher of the Jain Center of Greater Boston. Shrenik and Shardule are his sons who have learned how to read and write Hindi and / or Gujarati. For years they both have been a constant source of help in the Pathshala program. W IMMWMMMMMMMMMM

SECTION 1 - How to Use This Booklet The purpose of this Samayika booklet This booklet has been prepared with only one objective; to teach the reader how to perform Samayika if he or she does not know all of the necessary Sutra and rituals. A step-by-step procedure is presented in this booklet to facilitate the performance of Samayika 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 Samayika 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 Samayika. 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 Samayika with you childern. It will help to simplify their future attempts. As shown in the following table, each Sutra is presented in three different ways; in the original Devanagari script, its English transliteration, and its meaning in English. (Original Devanagari script) (English transliteration of the Devanagari script) (General meaning of the Sutra [in English]) (All of the necessary plus additional Sutra are presented in Section 6) The Devanagari script is presented primarily to assist teachers and parents who may be more familiar with Hindi than with English. While performing Samayika, the aspirant should read the English transliteration only. The meanings are presented solely for informational purposes, and should not be recited while performing Samayika.

SECTION 2 What is Samayika The spiritual meaning of "Samayika" 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. Samayika is the process that enhances the quality of equanimity. Samayika is the process that takes one closer to the soul. A purified soul always remains in the state of Samayika. 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 Samayika. To treat all living beings equally is to be in the state of Samayika. To abandon spiritually wrongful activities, and to practice the spiritually right activities is Samayika. Samayika is true conduct. Samayika is the essence of the Tirthankar's teachings. It is the first and foremost of the six Avasyaka (essentials). One has to practice Samayika to attain right perception, right knowledge, and righty conduct. Jain Sadhus and Sadhvis (monks and nuns) are assumed be in the state of equanimity (Samayika) throughout their life. Therefore, they do not need to perform Samayika. However, all Jain Sravikas and Sravikas should perform Samayika everyday. There is a great detial on the subject of Samayika in the Jain canonical books. If performing Samayik everyday is not possible, then one should try to perform Samayika as frequently as possible. SECTION 3 - Preparation for Samayika Necessary Accessories: Charavalo, Katasanu (a small rug made of wool), muhpatti (a clean white piece of cloth folded in a specific pattern). Sapado (a stand for books), Navakaravali (rosary) and religious books Charavalo (woolen broom) Sapado (stand for books) Katasanu small woolen rug) * Wear clean and simple clothes, preferably white or light colored. * Keep a muhapatti in front of the mouth during the recitation of Sutras. 4 200000 mA 8000 Navakaravali (rosary)

Page #8
. 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 Samayika. * Observe silence during Samayika. * No eating, drinking, or chewing during Samayika. * During the 48 minutes of equanimity, one should perform only religious activities such as reading Jain books or meditating on the Navakara Mantra. SECTION 4 - Step-by-Step Initiation of Samayika 4.1. Consecration of Sthapanaji a) The entire Samayika can be performed while sitting down. First, consecrate the Sthapanaji by placing a Jain book containing Navakara Mantra and Panchindiya Sutra on a Sapado. This is necessary to establish a presence of guruji in his/her absence. b) Recite the following Khamasamana Sutra (Sutra No. 3) while kneeling down; the aspirant pays hom age to the preceptor (Gurudev). All Sutras with English transliterations and meanings are presented in Section 6. Since the Khamasamana Sutra (Sutra No. 3) is frequently recited during Samayika, only its English transliteration will be presented every time it is required. This Sutra, presented below, should be memorized. Ichchhami Khama - Samana! Vamhiyam Javanijjae Nisihiyae ? Matthena Vandami c) Keeping the muhapatti in left hand in front of the mouth and extending the right palm towards the Sthapanaji, the aspirant should recite Sutras No. 1 and 2. 4.2. Iriyavahiyam Pratikramana The aspirant should then perform (Iriyavahiyam) Iriyavahiyam Pratikramana as follows. a) Recite the following Khamasamana by bowing down in a seated position. Ichchhami Khama - Samano! Vamhiyam Javanijjae Nisihiyae ? Matthena Vandami b) Recite Sutras No. 5,6, and 7. At the end of reciting Sutra 7, mentally recite one Logassa Sutra (Sutra No. 8) or four Navakara in Kayotsarga position. c) After you have completed the above step, say Namo Arihantanam. Then, recite the Logassa Sutra aloud. Logassa Sutra is a prayer of 24 Tirthankaras. This completes the Iriyavahiyam 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. 4.4.

Section 7 Pratyakhyana The meaning of Pratyakhyanas 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 Pachchakkhana, 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. Pachchakkhanas (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 Pratyakhyanas are some of the simplest vows that we all should attempt to observe as frequently as we can. Pratyakhyana is also called Pachchakkhana for simplicity. Pachchakkhana No.1 Chovihara Pachchakkhana (Evening Pachchakkhana 1) divasa carimaM paccakkhAi Divasa Charimam Pachchakkhai cauvvihaMpi AhAraM, Chauvvihampi Aharam, STHUI, TUI, GISH, HISH, Asanam, Panam, Khaimam, Saimam, annatthaNA bhogeNaM Annatthana Bhogenam sahasA gAreNaM, mahattarA gAreNaM, Sahasa Garenam, Mahattara Garenam, savva samAhi vattiyA gAreNaM, Savva Samahi Vattiya Garenam, vosirAmi Vosirami 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.

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.

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 Pachchakkhana (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 khana 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.
