Pancha‑Namaskāra (Navkār / Namokār Mantra) ka mukhya purpose bahut simple hai:

1. Panch Parameṣṭhi ko vandan

Arihant, Siddha, Āchārya, Upādhyāya aur sab Sādhu‑Sādhviyoṅ ko naman karke hum highest spiritual ātmāoṅ ko yaad karte hain – jinone krodh, mān, māyā, lobh ko jit liya hai.

1. Guṇoṅ ko pranām, vyakti ko nahi

Is mantra me kisi ka personal naam nahi aata. Iska uddeshya yeh hai ki hum vyakti se jyādā unke guṇ (samta, ahimsā, viney, tyāg) ko apnane ki ichchhā jagāyen.

1. Karm nash aur chitta‑shuddhi

“Eso pañcha namokkāro, savva pāvappaṇāsano…” arth: yeh pañch‑pranām sab pāp‑karmon ko kam karne wale hain, sabse bada maṅgal hain. Iska matlab – aise bhāv se jap karne se mithyātva, raag‑dveṣ jaise aantarik doṣ dhīre‑dhīre patle hote hain.

1. Vinay (namratā) aur samyaktva ko bal dena

Roz subah‑shaam Pancha‑Namaskāra karne se – ahankār kam hotā hai – guru‑paramparā ke prati shraddhā badhti hai – aur “main bhi aise ban sakta hoon” yeh sahi drishti (samyaktva) majbūt hoti hai.

1. Dono paramparāoṅ me samaan mahatva

Digambar aur Shvetāmbara – dono me is mantra ka arth aur uddeshya ek hi hai: Panch Parameṣṭhi ke guṇoṅ ko yaad karke, apni ātmā ko mukti‑mārg par lagānā. Antar sirf uchchāraṇ ya kuchh additional gāthāoṅ ka ho sakta hai.

Sār: Pancha‑Namaskāra ka purpose dhan, kāmna, chamatkār māngnā nahi, balki ātmā ko pavitra, vinamra aur mukti‑mārgi banana hai – Panch Parameṣṭhi ke guṇoṅ ko smaran karke.
