Samvatsari Pratikramana

O Guru Mahārāj! Please voluntarily give me permission to ask for your forgiveness for any wrong doing that I may have done to you during the day. (Guru Mahārāj now will say, “Please do so") I accept your permission. I beg for your pardon, for all the wrong doing that I may have committed during the day. I may have disrespected you or may not have taken proper care of you. I may have disrespected you by sitting at a higher level or at the same level as you. I may have interrupted you while you were talking, I may have talked back to you, or I may have tried to prove you wrong. I may have exhibited major or minor discourteousness to you, which I was not aware of but that you may be aware of. Now, therefore, I beg your forgiveness for all my wrong doings and wish that they might be undone.
