    During periods can we say navkar mantra

    6 months ago 151

    Yes, you can say Navkar (Namokar) Mantra during periods.

    In Jain Dharma:

    • Menstruation is a natural body process, it does not make the soul impure.
    • There is no restriction on:
    - Reciting Navkar Mantra (mentally or softly) - Doing jap, prarthna, dhyan at home
    • What is usually avoided during periods:
    - Going into the garbhagriha (inner temple sanctum) - Touching murtis, pooja items, or scriptures - Doing abhishek, aarti, dravya-puja

    Both Shwetambar and Digambar traditions allow Navkar Mantra japa during periods as bhav-bhakti (inner devotion). Only some outer temple rules are paused for a few days, not your prayer.
