The Jain Agamas give beautiful descriptions on the spiritual routine for ascetic and lay followers.
Spirituality should be the base of an ideal lifestyle. Like all followers of Islam accept to do the five Namaz (five daily prayers to Allah while bowing down to the direction where the holy town of Mekka is situated), followers of Jainism (Shravaks) accept the six necessary acts laid down in the Avashyaka Sutra in the Agamas: Samayik, Vandana, Chaturvinshati, Pratikraman, Kayotsarg, Pratyakhyan.
On the Samayik gathering in Siriyari Acharya Mahaprajna described Samayik as the first step towards a peaceful life and a tension free state of mind.
Samayik means to reach inner satisfaction by real spirituality, for human nature is focussed mostly on getting pleasure.
Until this desire is not fulfilled, carving and sorrowful thoughts are directing it.
Samayik is very important for the transformation of consciousness to get awareness of our wrong doings through introspection.
Vandana and Chaturvinshati are prayers teaching us the humbleness of the human mind towards ecology and greater souls than us.
Pratikraman and Kayotsarg help us analysing our activities and to say sorry for what we did wrong.
Pratyakhyana helps us to maintain mentally and physically balanced and to stay alert without rewarding permanently our pleasure seeking nature.
Paryushan is the festival of self-introspection and of self-purification.
Theory alone can never help without practice like Preksha Meditation, which was invented as a practice of Anuvrat.
Thus, meditation also should be practiced regularly in Samyik.
