Mantra for shanti at home (relationship problems in marriage)
For shanti at home, especially when there are relationship difficulties in marriage, the most respected Jain recitation is:
1) Navkar Mantra
णमो अरिहंताणं णमो सिद्धाणं णमो आइरियाणं णमो उवज्झायाणं णमो लोए सव्वसाहूणंMeaning: I bow to the Arihants, Siddhas, Acharyas, Upadhyayas, and all Sadhus.
How to recite:
- Recite it 9, 11, or 108 times daily
- Best done morning and evening
- Sit calmly, with a pure and peaceful mind
2) Kshamapana / Forgiveness prayer
A very helpful Jain prayer for reducing anger and tension is:खामेमि सव्वे जीवे, सव्वे जीवा खमंतु मे मित्ती मे सव्वभूएसु, वेरं मज्झं न केणई
Meaning: I forgive all living beings; may all living beings forgive me. May I have friendship with all beings, and no enmity with anyone.
3) Practical Jain way for peace at home
Along with mantra, Jain Dharma emphasizes:- Ahimsa in speech and conduct
