    MEANING OF EACH VERSE OF NAMUTHANNUM

    one year ago 435

    Certainly! "Namuththunam" (often spelled Namokar Mantra, Namaskar Mantra, or Namothunam) is the most revered prayer in Jainism. It is a fundamental mantra recited by Jains daily to offer obeisance to the five supreme beings (Panch Parmesthi). Here is the mantra with the meaning of each verse:

    Namokar/Namuththunam Mantra:

    1. Namo Arihantanam Meaning: I bow to the Arihants (the perfected souls who have conquered inner passions such as anger, pride, deceit, and greed).

    2. Namo Siddhanam Meaning: I bow to the Siddhas (the liberated souls who have achieved moksha and are free from the cycle of birth and death).

    3. Namo Ayariyanam Meaning: I bow to the Acharyas (the head monks who guide the Jain congregation).

    4. Namo Uvajjhayanam Meaning: I bow to the Upadhyayas (the teachers or scholars who impart knowledge of the scriptures).

    5. Namo Loe Savva Sahunam Meaning: I bow to all Sadhus and Sadhvis (the monks and nuns who practice self-discipline and follow the path of spiritual purity).

    Summary Verse: Eso Panch Namokkaro, Savva Pava Panasano, Mangalanam cha Savvesim, Padhamam Havai Mangalam. Meaning: This five-fold obeisance destroys all sins and obstacles. Among all auspicious things, this is the foremost.

    Significance:

    • The mantra does not mention any specific names of Tirthankaras or gods, but pays respect to the qualities and virtues of the five supreme beings.
    • Reciting this mantra is believed to destroy negative karma and bring spiritual upliftment.
