NAMO ARIHANTANAM   WHITE:
Arihant is a perfect human being.  The white color is the mother of all colors; it is a blending of all colors.  It represents pure knowledge. White shows purity, selflessness, and cosmic consciousness.  White has protective power against psychic attack.  It cannot be used for personal gain.  White light removes the body, mind, and soul of diseases.  White blood cells protect the body from disease.  It controls the Sahasar Chakra.
NAMO SIDDHANAM   RED:
Siddha is a pure consciousness or a soul without any Karma attached to it.  Both Arihant and Siddha are known as Gods in Jainism.  The red color is the great energizer.  Red controls the Ajna Chakra (third eye center or the center of command), which when awakened, will directly affect the Muladhar Chakra.  This center governs the vitality of the physical body, particularly the creative, procreative, and restorative process.  Red light causes red blood cells to multiply and invigorate of circulation.

Upadhyay is a teacher which shows how to awaken powers and maintain balance of body, mind, and soul.  Green is the color of balanced strength and of progress in the mind and body.  It has a soothing influence on the nervous system.  It is tonic for the body, mind, and soul.  While yellow is the color of wisdom (mind), and blue is the color of truth (soul), green is the combination of the two, offering a balance between the two. It controls heart Chakra.
Blue is the color of truth.  It controls Throat Chakra, the greatest creative center in the body.  It gives power of speech.  It is relaxing, soothing, and healing.  Blue rays bring calmness and peace to the mind. It is the color of religious aspiration and devotion.  By blue rays thought energy can be transmitted.  Blue effects the development of spiritual and psychic powers.  Both blue and green are the colors of prana.
NAMO LOE SAVVA SAHUNAM   BLACK
