The package needs to match the set of folders that the .java file lives in.

So you java file needs to be found in com/jmd/sorav/temp/ which based on the command prompt you linked, is not the case.

Hope this helps

Also note that you need to specify the fully qualified name when running the class
i.e.
java com.jmd.sorav.temp.HelloWorld

What Stuie Clarky means is, you have to navigate to .. several times until the location of that class corresponds to its package name, so you could find it by writing com/jmd/sorav/temp/HelloWorld
There are several ways to compile classes with package names; you will find several links in this old post.
