Pataka (Samskrit : ) is a word that belongs to the terminology of religion rather than to that of Ethics. In these days many people, both in the East and the West, question the very existence of sin. In a general way it may be said that it is an act which is regarded as a wilful rebellion against or disobedience of some law supposed to be laid down by God or Revelation; it is opposition to the will of God manifested in an authoritative work or at least failure to abide by the regulations contained therein.
