Answer

Yes, chanting “Om Hrim Shrim Arham Namah” with faith, purity, and right intention can help in reducing negative karmic vibrations and developing spiritual purity.

But in Jain Dharma, pap karmas are not removed by mantra alone. They are reduced and destroyed through:

• Right faith
• Right knowledge
• Right conduct
• Repentance for wrong actions
• Forgiveness
• Tapasya and self-discipline
• Ahimsa, truth, and purity in daily life

Explanation

In Jain understanding, pap means inauspicious karma caused by harmful thoughts, words, and actions. A mantra can calm the mind, create devotion, and guide the soul toward purity.

“Arham” refers to the Arihant Bhagwan—the perfected beings who have destroyed inner enemies like anger, ego, deceit, and greed. By remembering them, we are inspired to purify ourselves.

Spiritual Understanding

To truly weaken pap karma, chant with:

• A peaceful mind
• Repentance for past mistakes
• A vow to avoid harmful actions
• Compassion toward all living beings
• Daily effort to reduce anger, pride, deceit, and greed

The mantra supports inner purification, but your conduct must also become pure.

Takeaway

Chanting “Om Hrim Shrim Arham Namah” can help purify your thoughts and reduce pap karmic influence, but true karma destruction comes through right faith, right knowledge, right conduct, repentance, and tapasya.
