Samayik

Samayik is the act of purifying the soul from karmic bondage caused by our actions.

Lay followers (Shravaks) are supposed to recite the verses of Samayik Vandana for a period of 48 minutes every day.

Monks and nuns in the morning as well as in the evening.

Samayik - Path (Lene ki Vidhi)
Karemi Bhante!	Venerable Sir!
Samaiyam	I take to Samayika
Savajjam Jogam	All the sinful activities
Pachchakkhami	I vow to abstain from
Javaniyamam	For the period prescribed
(Muhuttam egam)	(One muhoortt = 48 minutes)
Pajjuvasami	I (will) observe it.
Duviham	By two modes and
tivihenam	Three ways
N Karemi,	Neither I will do
N Karavemi	nor cause others to do
Manasa, Vayasa, Kaytasa	by mind, speech and body.
Tassbhante!	Venerable Sir!
Paqikkamami	I shun sinful activities
Nindam	I censure them
Garihami	I reprimand them
Appanam	I am detaching my soul
Vosirami	(from all sins)

The intention of reciting the verses is to relate the own consciousness to the sense of the words and to ask for forgiveness for the transgressions committed during the day.

• If it is not possible to do so every day, it is recommended to practice it every fortnight for five times.
• If this is not possible, every four months for ten times.
• If even this is not possible, to recite it during the week of Paryushan for ten times every day.
