Lodhan parshwanarh mantra
Here are simple, safe and traditional mantras you can chant for Shri Lodhan Parshwanath Bhagwan:
1) Navkar (Namokar) Mantra – best and common to all Jain traditions ``` णमो अरिहंताणं णमो सिद्धाणं णमो आयरियाणं णमो उवज्झायाणं णमो लोए सव्व साहूणं।। ``` Arth (simple meaning): I bow to all Arihants, Siddhas, Acharyas, Upadhyayas and all Sadhus. This purifies the soul and includes devotion to Lodhan Parshwanath as well.
2) Simple Lodhan Parshwanath nama‑mantra ``` नमो लोढण पार्श्वनाथाय। ``` Arth: “I bow to Lodhan Parshwanath Bhagwan.” This is a respectful nama‑mantra (name‑mantra), used just like “Namo Parshwanathaya,” but here you remember specifically the Dabhoi (Lodhan) form of Parshwanath.
3) Short Parshwanath nama‑mantra (also used while remembering Lodhan Parshwanath) ``` नमो पार्श्वनाथाय। ``` While chanting, keep Lodhan Parshwanath’s pratima in bhav (inner focus).
Digambar / Shwetambar note:
- Navkar mantra and simple nama‑mantras like these are accepted in both traditions.
- Lodhan Parshwanath is a famous Shwetambar tirth, but these mantras are fully in line with Jain siddhant and are safe for all.
