Jain morning stotras
Here are the main Jain stotras that are traditionally recited in the morning (Prātaḥkāl / Devpuja time). You can choose a few and make a simple daily routine.

1. Navkār (Namokār) Mantra
Recited first, at the very beginning of the day.Text (Prakrit): णमो अरिहंताणं। णमो सिद्धाणं। णमो आयरियाणं। णमो उवज्झायाणं। णमो लोए सव्वसाहूणं॥
(Śvetāmbars usually add:) एसो पंच नमुक्कारो, सव्व पावप्पणासणो। मंगलाणं च सव्वेसिं, पद्हमं हवई मंगलं॥
Very short meaning: I bow to Arihant, Siddha, Āchārya, Upādhyāya and all Sādhus – this five‑fold bowing destroys sins and is the highest auspiciousness. You can read more here

2. Logassa (Logassa Ujjuyagare) – 24 Tīrthankar Stavan
Often recited in the morning after Navkār, especially in Śvetāmbara tradition.Opening lines: लोगस्स ऊज्जुग्गरे धम्मतित्थायरे जिणे…
Purpose: bowing to all 24 Tīrthankars, remembering their qualities.

3. Uvasaggaharam Stotra (for Bhagwān Pārshvanāth)
Recited in morning or any time for removal of upsarg (difficulties) and for inner strength.Opening: ऊवासग्गहरं पावं, पव्वाभूइ-भयं जहा…
Common in both Digambar and Śvetāmbara with slight wording/pronunciation differences.

4. Śāntikarana / Śānti Path Stotras
Short morning recitations to pray for peace, ahimsā and kṣem (well‑being) of all jīvas. Different forms exist in Digambar and Śvetāmbara traditions; wording may vary by gacch/saṅgh.---
5. Khamāsaman / Pratikraman Gāthā (Short form)
Some people recite a brief khamāsan verse in the morning to confess past faults and start the day pure.---
6. Daily Morning Sequence (simple suggestion)
You can keep it very short like this:
- Navkār Mantra – 9 or 27 times
- Logassa / Tīrthankar stavan – 1 time
- Optional: Uvasaggaharam Stotra – 1, 3, or 9 times
- End with a short śānti‑path or silent maun for 1–2 minutes.
If you tell me your tradition (Digambar / Śvetāmbara) and language comfort (Hindi / English / Gujarati), I can write a complete, very short morning set with full text and simple meaning for each part.
