    What to say after aarti of jain

    5 months ago 179

    After Jain ārti, the most simple and proper thing to say is Namokār Mantra and then a short maṅgal (auspicious prayer).

    Here is an easy sequence many Jains follow:

    ---

    1. Namokār Mantra (always appropriate)

    Prakrit / Sanskrit: `णमो अरिहंताणं` `णमो सिद्धाणं` `णमो आयरियाणं` `णमो उवज्झायाणं` `णमो लोए सव्वसाहूणं`

    Meaning (simple):

    • I bow to the Arihants (perfected living beings)
    • I bow to the Siddhas (liberated souls)
    • I bow to the Āchāryas (spiritual heads)
    • I bow to the Upādhyāyas (spiritual teachers)
    • I bow to all Sādhus (monks & nuns) in the universe

    This mantra is the best and can be recited at any time, especially after ārti.

    2. “Maṅgalam Bhagavān Vīro” (short maṅgal pāṭh)

    Sanskrit / Hindi: `मंगलं भगवान वीरो` `मंगलं गौतमो गुरु:` `मंगलं कुन्दकुन्दाद्यो` `जैन धर्मोस्तु मंगलम्`

    Transliteration: Mangalam Bhagavān Vīro Mangalam Gautamo Guruh Mangalam Kundakundādyah Jain Dharmostu Maṅgalam

    Meaning (simple):

    • Auspicious is Lord Mahāvīr
    • Auspicious is Guru Gautam
    • Auspicious are Āchāryas like Kundkund
    • Auspicious is Jain Dharma

    This is a very common maṅgal verse after ārti or pūjā.

    3. Short Kṣamā (asking forgiveness – optional but very good)

    Quietly in your mind, or aloud, you can say:

    Prakrit: `खम्मेमि सव्वे जीवो`

    or the full line: `खम्मेमि सव्वे जीवे, सव्वे जीवा खमंतु मे`

    Simple meaning:

    • I ask forgiveness from all living beings
    • May all living beings forgive me

    This keeps the end of ārti very pure and non‑violent in intention.

    ---

    So, a simple practice after Jain ārti can be:

    1. Namokār Mantra
    2. “Maṅgalam Bhagavān Vīro…”
    3. (Optional) Kṣamā verse: “Khammemi Savve Jīve…”

    Different temples and sects (Śvetāmbara / Digambara) may add more shlokas or stavans, but the Namokār Mantra + Maṅgalam is accepted everywhere.
