Om namah sidhebhye mantra
Om Namah Siddhebhyaḥ (also written as Om Namo Siddhāṇam / Siddhebhyo Namaḥ in different Jain traditions)
Meaning: “I bow to the Siddhas” — the liberated, pure souls who have destroyed all karma and attained moksha.
Jain significance: This mantra is a salutation to the Siddha Parameṣṭhi, one of the five supreme beings in Jain Dharma:
- Arihant
- Siddha
- Acharya
- Upadhyaya
- Sadhu
It reminds us of the highest goal in Jainism: liberation from karma and attainment of pure soul-state.
Simple prayer meaning: “May I bow in reverence to the perfected souls and be inspired to follow the path of purity, non-violence, and liberation.”
