How to do pratikraman (ask for forgiveness) ?

Make a phone call to the pure Soul of the opponent and say, "I have made this mistake, please forgive me.

"Moreover, you should do pratikraman for all the people in your home. Each day, do pratikraman for your father, mother,brother, and sister, and even for your extended family members,because these are the people with whom you have very sticky accounts.

So if you do pratikraman for your family for one hour, starting from everyone close to you followed by to the extended family; going back, two to three generations by recalling them a, you will destroy your most intense sins. Their minds will purify towards you. You must do this for all your close relatives. If you cannot sleep at night, you should do pratikraman in this manner. When you start doing pratikraman in this manner, the film will continue. When that happens, you will feel tremendous joy, so much so, that it will overflow.

During the time of pratikraman, you are in the state of the pure Self, and there is no interference from anything.

You can also start your Pratikraman with a Vidhi

Questioner: What is the pratikraman vidhi?

Dadashri: For example if you hurt Chandulal, then you have to invoke the one who is free from, thoughts, speech, and actions; bhav karma, dravya karma, and no karma; of 'Chandulal' (or the name of the person you hurt) and all illusions attached to that name. This One is the 'Shuddhatma Bhagwan' (the pure Soul). Then say, "Dear Shuddhatma Bhagwan, I have spoken in a harsh manner and that is a fault of mine. I am repenting for this mistake. I am asking for your forgiveness. I am resolving not to repeat this mistake. Please give me the strength not to repeat the mistake again." Think of Dada (The fully enlightened Lord within The Gnani Purush) or Shuddhatma Bhagwan when you do your pratikraman. First do alochana, or confession of your mistake.Then do pratikraman, which is the actual asking of forgiveness that will cleanse your mistakes, and lastly do pratyakhyan, which is your resolve never to repeat the mistake.
