What is a strong mantra of Jain?
One of the strongest and most revered mantras in Jainism is the Namokar Mantra (also called the Navkar Mantra or Namaskar Mantra). It is the most significant and fundamental prayer in Jainism, recited by Jains daily. The mantra pays respect to the five supreme beings and is not associated with any particular deity, but rather with qualities and virtues.
The mantra is as follows:
णमो अरिहंताणं णमो सिद्धाणं णमो आयरियाणं णमो उवज्झायाणं णमो लोए सव्वसाहूणं
Transliteration: Namo Arihantāṇam Namo Siddhāṇam Namo Ayariyāṇam Namo Uvajjhāyāṇam Namo Loe Savva-sāhūṇam
Meaning:
- I bow to the Arihants (perfected beings).
- I bow to the Siddhas (liberated souls).
- I bow to the Acharyas (spiritual leaders).
- I bow to the Upadhyayas (spiritual teachers).
- I bow to all the Sadhus (saints) in the world.
This mantra is considered highly auspicious and is believed to destroy sins, purify the mind, and lead the devotee towards liberation (moksha). It is not a prayer for material gains, but for spiritual upliftment.
