Friends this blog covers balance vows in brief from "Pratikaman" .I am covering it on a request from one of blog readers. In his view, it can put all vows under a a common platform for easy grasping.
Pratikaman is done on daily basis immediately after sunset and before sunrise. In daily routine, if we get a small cut or wound, we immediately apply antiseptic and apply ointment with bandage to cure the wound in time, Just like it ,it is a remedy to clear off wrong doings on daily basis from bottom of heart to clear soul daily.
It prevents new bad Karmas to become part of soul. "Pratikaman" book only can give real idea of contents. I am doing only passing reference towards it's main contents. Let us study those vows-----.

1-Limitation of all directions for own travel to protect small insects. Any how the universe is too big, we do not use all direction all the time. So limit the day's travel boundaries with reference to own plan
2-Limitations of 26 types of human intakes, to control our needs. Food makes body strong. As a result healthy organs demand, more pleasure leading to more sins and luxurious life style,
3-Limitations of daily action to curtail unnecessary and unwanted sins .Many time we engage in free advice to others without bothering it's results and sins associated. For such bad actions or advice, we will be partners of sins involved equally.
4-Engagement in Samaik for religious activities. It is source of inner peace. Samik connect you with religion. Just take a example of tree.Till the tree is connected to soil ,it is green and prospering. Once it is cut off from soil, the supply of water and soil will be disconnected and will make the tree dry. Similarly as long as one is connected with Dharma, one is peaceful and happy. Disconnection invites so many bad habits and loose character.
5-Limitation of dealing with others.
6-Engagement in Poshad. A full night engagement in religious activities. It is done with fast and full time Samaik,
7-To offer necessities to monks and guests. (Athithi),visiting unknowingly. Not to prepare any thing keeping in mind the arrival.
Earlier we completed major 5 vows now secondary seven vows of Jainism we have seen, thus it is a total twelve basic vows covered.

In addition to it, more vows related to actions are given as follow.

2-Admission for mistakes if other faiths followed or Bhagwan's sermons doubted knowingly or unknowingly.-Darshan Samkit.
3-Admission for mistakes if 25 wrong faiths related actions following under category of Mithyatav.
4-Disturbing tiny insects generated in unhygienic places-Samucchim. Such places are 14.
5-Forgiveness from all from Jambudwipa -bigger place where we live. Bharatkhetra is part of it.
6-Forgiveness from 84 millions categories of all living souls.
7-Choti Sanlekhna-Santhara
8- Going forActual Snathara.
Pratikamn is not like reading or speaking from books or hearing a recorded one. It requires own involvement and review of daily actions. If any action was made contrary to Jainism teaching ,one has to offer unconditional apology with heart felt sorry. With it sins get washed out and fails to be part of soul.
