Logas

In Jainism, "Logas" refers to the "Logassa Sutra" (also spelled "Logassa" or "Lougassa"), a sacred Jain prayer. The Logassa Sutra is recited as a reverence to the twenty-four Tirthankaras of the present time cycle. It is a part of daily prayers for many Jains, especially among the Shvetambara tradition.

The Logassa Sutra is known for its deep spiritual significance, expressing veneration and devotion to the Tirthankaras, seeking their blessings for the path of liberation (moksha), and cultivating humility and respect for the enlightened souls.

A commonly recited version of the Logassa goes as follows (in Prakrit):

Logassa Ujjoyagare, Dhammassa Navakarah Savva-pavappanasano, Mangalanam cha savvesim, padhamam havai mangalam

Meaning in brief: "I bow to the Arihantas (Tirthankaras) who are the destroyers of enemies (passions) and the supreme souls. Their teaching destroys all sins, and they are the foremost amongst all things auspicious."

The Logassa is recited as a part of the daily ritual and during special occasions, reminding Jains of the qualities of the Tirthankaras and inspiring them to follow the path of right faith, right knowledge, and right conduct.
