    How big of punya is doing 108 navkar mantra jaap everyday for 50 days also if we have to scale it on 1 - 10

    Answer

    Doing 108 Navkar Mantra jaap every day for 50 days is a very auspicious and spiritually beneficial practice in Jain Dharma.

    If we speak only in a simple motivational way, you may think of it as around 8 or 9 out of 10 in terms of punya-generating discipline — but Jain Dharma does not give an exact numerical scale for punya like this.

    Explanation

    The Navkar Mantra is the most sacred mantra in Jain Dharma. It is not a prayer asking for worldly things; it is a bowing-down to the supreme virtues of:

    • Arihants
    • Siddhas
    • Acharyas
    • Upadhyays
    • All Sadhus and Sadhvis

    Doing 108 jaap daily for 50 days means:

    • 5,400 repetitions of Navkar Mantra
    • Regular remembrance of pure souls
    • Development of humility and devotion
    • Strengthening of concentration and inner purity

    In Jain understanding, punya depends not only on the number of repetitions, but also on your bhav — your inner feeling.

    For example:

    • If done with faith, humility, and concentration, the spiritual benefit is much higher.
    • If done mechanically while distracted, the benefit is less.
    • If done with ego — “I am doing so much” — the purity of the practice reduces.

    Spiritual Understanding

    The greatest value of Navkar Mantra jaap is not just punya, but inner purification. It helps reduce negative thoughts, anger, ego, greed, and attachment when done with right feeling.

    In Jain Dharma, the highest aim is not merely collecting punya, but moving toward:

    • Samyag Darshan
    • Purity of conduct
    • Less attachment and aversion
    • Liberation from karma

    Takeaway

    108 Navkar Mantra jaap daily for 50 days is a beautiful and powerful practice. On a simple 1–10 devotional scale, you can consider it 8–9/10, but the real spiritual value depends on your faith, focus, humility, and purity of intention.
