    Achalgachh 9 samran

    one year ago 199

    In Jainism, particularly in the Shwetambar tradition and especially within the Achalgachh sect, the "9 Samran" (also spelled as "Samrani" or "Smaran") are nine auspicious remembrances or meditations. They are recited or remembered for spiritual upliftment and protection, especially in times of difficulty or before embarking on important tasks.

    Here are the Achalgachh 9 Samran:

    1. Arihant Samran – Remembrance of the Arihants (omniscient beings who have destroyed inner enemies).
    2. Siddha Samran – Remembrance of Siddhas (liberated souls).
    3. Acharya Samran – Remembrance of Acharyas (spiritual leaders).
    4. Upadhyaya Samran – Remembrance of Upadhyayas (teachers of scriptures).
    5. Sadhu Samran – Remembrance of Sadhus (monks).
    6. Darshan Samran – Remembrance of the right (true) faith.
    7. Gyan Samran – Remembrance of the right knowledge.
    8. Charitra Samran – Remembrance of the right conduct.
    9. Tap Samran – Remembrance of penance or austerity.

    Purpose: These samrans are recited to purify the mind and to focus on the core ideals and exemplary beings in Jain tradition. The practice is especially emphasized in the Achalgachh sub-sect of Shwetambar Jainism.

    Cultural Note: Some communities recite these samrans during daily prayers, before meals, or at the start of important activities for spiritual protection and guidance.

    If you would like the traditional verses or a more detailed explanation of each samran, please let me know!
