Gurudev, what is the meaning of Pratikraman?
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar: There is a custom in Jainism called Pratikraman (Self-introspection). Every evening before going to sleep, they sit by themselves and remember everything they have done since morning. So, they recollect and ponder upon what they did an hour or two before retiring for the night. This is called Pratikraman. This is an art of deleting any impressions that could have come in the mind or the impressions of karma. That is called Pratikraman.
