Answer

Shanti Dhara Mantra is recited during Shanti Dhara, a Jain ritual in which sanctified water is poured over the idol of Arihant Bhagwan with the prayer for peace, purity, and spiritual upliftment.

A commonly recited Jain Shanti Mantra is:

ॐ ह्रीं श्रीं अर्हं नमः ।

Om Hreem Shreem Arham Namah.

Meaning

• Om – sacred sound of reverence
• Hreem / Shreem – sacred seed sounds used in devotion
• Arham – the Arihant Bhagwan, the worthy enlightened one
• Namah – I bow down with devotion

Spiritual Understanding

Shanti Dhara is performed with the feeling of inner peace, removal of negative emotions, and devotion toward Arihant Bhagwan. The true purpose is not only external ritual, but calming the mind and cultivating humility, purity, and samyak bhav.

Takeaway

The essence of Shanti Dhara is:

“May peace arise within me, and may my soul move toward purity.”
