I want to get peace in my life, can you tell me any particular mantra?
Certainly. In Jainism, chanting mantras is considered a way to attain inner peace and spiritual upliftment. One of the most important and revered mantras in Jainism is the Namokar Mantra (also known as Navkar Mantra). This mantra is not dedicated to any particular Tirthankara or deity, but rather offers obeisance to the five supreme beings in Jainism. Reciting this mantra with devotion and understanding can bring peace and calmness to the mind.
Here is the Namokar Mantra:
णमो अरिहंताणं
णमो सिद्धाणं
णमो आयरियाणं
णमो उवज्झायाणं
णमो लोए सव्व साहूणं
Translation:
- I bow to the Arihants (perfected souls).
- I bow to the Siddhas (liberated souls).
- I bow to the Acharyas (spiritual leaders).
- I bow to the Upadhyayas (spiritual teachers).
- I bow to all the Sadhus (monks) in the world.
Regularly chanting or meditating on the Namokar Mantra with sincerity and mindfulness is believed to bring about spiritual peace and well-being, as emphasized in Jain philosophy.
