PRATIKRAMAN RITUAL
With three-fold activities of mind, speech, and body, I will not overlook or participate in any wrongful activities. Oh respected Guruji! I give up all harmful activities of my mind, my speech, and my body. I condemn my wrongful actions. I express disapproval of my de-merits. I am determined to free myself from worldly bondage.
"Only that man can take a right decision, whose soul is not tormented by the
afflictions of attachment and aversion"
-Isibhäsiyam (44/1)
