javanti cheyain sutra
Javanti Cheyaiṁ Sūtra (also spelled "Javanti Cheyain Sutra") is a Jain prayer or sūtra recited primarily as a protective mantra, especially in the Śvetāmbara Jain tradition. It is believed to invoke the blessings of the Arihantas, Siddhas, and protect from negative influences or obstacles.
The sūtra is usually recited during rituals, before travels, or at the start of important tasks for auspiciousness and safety. It is often part of the daily prayer (pratikraman) or used independently.
Here is the text of the Javanti Cheyaiṁ Sūtra in Prakrit:
Javanti Cheyaiṁ, Pukkharavaddhiyaṁ, Vimalāya Cheyaiṁ, Sumaiyaṁ, Padumaṁ, Supadumaṁ, Supasiddhiyaṁ, Siddhaṁ, Arihantāṁ, Cheyaiṁ, Nāmo Arihantāṇaṁ, Nāmo Siddhāṇaṁ, Nāmo Āyariyāṇaṁ, Nāmo Uvajjhāyāṇaṁ, Nāmo Loe Savva Sāhūṇaṁ.
Meaning: The sūtra is essentially a salutation to the various Tīrthaṅkaras and Siddhas, invoking their names and blessings for protection, well-being, and spiritual upliftment. It also includes the Navkar Mantra, the most fundamental prayer in Jainism.
Use: Jains believe that reciting this sūtra helps drive away negative energies, obstacles, and brings calmness and auspiciousness.
