    What to say in 24 bhagwan ekashana navkarwali

    one year ago 121

    In Jainism, the "24 Bhagwan Ekashana Navkarwali" refers to a specific type of ritual or prayer performed before partaking a single meal in the day (ekashana), where the devotee remembers and offers reverence to the 24 Tirthankaras (Bhagwans) through the Navkar Mantra.

    Typically, during such a ritual, you would:

    1. Recite the Navkar Mantra:

    ``` णमो अरिहंताणं णमो सिद्धाणं णमो आयरियाणं णमो उवज्झायाणं णमो लोए सव्वसाहूणं एसो पंच णमोक्कारो, सव्वपावप्पणासणो मंगलाणं च सव्वेसिं, पडमं हवई मंगलं। ```

    1. Take the Names of 24 Tirthankaras:

    Recite the names of all 24 Tirthankaras one by one, often after the Navkar Mantra.

    Example in order: 1. श्री ऋषभदेव भगवान् 2. श्री अजितनाथ भगवान् 3. श्री संभवनाथ भगवान् 4. श्री अभिनंदननाथ भगवान् 5. श्री सुमतिनाथ भगवान् 6. श्री पद्मप्रभु भगवान् 7. श्री सुपार्श्वनाथ भगवान् 8. श्री चंद्रप्रभु भगवान् 9. श्री पुष्पदंत भगवान् 10. श्री शीतलनाथ भगवान् 11. श्री श्रेयांसनाथ भगवान् 12. श्री वासुपूज्य भगवान् 13. श्री विमलनाथ भगवान् 14. श्री अनंतनाथ भगवान् 15. श्री धर्मनाथ भगवान् 16. श्री शांतिनाथ भगवान् 17. श्री कुंथुनाथ भगवान् 18. श्री अरनाथ भगवान् 19. श्री मल्लिनाथ भगवान् 20. श्री मुनिसुव्रतनाथ भगवान् 21. श्री नमिनाथ भगवान् 22. श्री नेमिनाथ भगवान् 23. श्री पार्श्वनाथ भगवान् 24. श्री महावीर भगवान्

    1. Special Prayer or Bhakti:

    Sometimes, after reciting the Navkar Mantra and the 24 Tirthankaras' names, a short prayer is recited, such as: - "24 तीर्थंकर भगवान की जय।" - "सर्व सिद्ध भगवान की जय।" - Sometimes a bhakti or stuti (like "24 Bhagwan ki Aarti" or "Chaubisi") is sung.

    1. Intention for the Meal (Ekashana):

    You may also state your intention for the meal, such as eating with spiritual mindfulness, purity, and detachment, and for the welfare of all living beings.

    Summary of what to say:

    • Navkar Mantra (as above)
    • Names of all 24 Tirthankaras
    • Optional: "24 Bhagwan ki Jai" or similar bhakti/stuti
    • Intention for pure, mindful eating in line with Jain principles

    Note: The exact wording and sequence can vary by sect (Shwetambar/Digambar) and family tradition, but the above is the core structure.
