    list of stavans created before 1990

    12 months ago 173

    Certainly! Jain stavans (devotional songs) have a long and rich history, many of which were composed well before 1990—some even centuries ago. Here is a list of some of the most well-known Jain stavans that were created before 1990, along with their composers when known:

    1. Meri Bhavna (मेरी भावना)

    Composer: Hemchandracharya or unknown (traditional)

    1. Darshan Do Ghanshyam

    Often sung in Jain temples (Jain version is traditional, not to be confused with the Krishna bhajan)

    1. Hey Prabhu Tumre Charan Kamal Par

    Traditional Jain stavan

    1. Tirthankar Prabhu Vandan

    Composer: Various, traditional

    1. Prabhu Patit Paavan

    Composer: Various, traditional

    1. Aarti: Om Jai Jai Jinendra

    Composer: Traditional, widely sung in Jain homes and temples

    1. Mangal Divo

    Composer: Traditional

    1. Bhagwan Mahavir Swami Ka

    Composer: Traditional

    1. Navkar Mantra Stavans

    Many versions composed by various Jain saints and poets

    1. Chalo Bulawa Aaya Hai

    Composer: Traditional (popularized in Jain pilgrimages)

    Famous Jain poets and composers of stavans before 1990:

    • Pandit Daulatramji
    Known for: "Mokshmala", "Navkar Stotra", and many classic stavans
    • Hemchandra Acharya
    Known for: "Yogashastra", and many other devotional compositions
    • Seth Manekchand
    Composed many stavans in the 19th and early 20th centuries
    • Sadhvi Mrigavati
    Historical Jain poetess

    A few specific classic stavans:

    • "Aisi Subh Ghadi Mein Janam Liya"
    • "Jin Vandana Karat Re Saara"
    • "Aho Aaj Anand Bhayo"
    • "Jinendra Dhyana Man Lagyo"
    • "Abhay Pradayak Parmatma"
    • "Jinvar Prabhu Tumko Vandan"

    Most of these stavans are anonymous or attributed to early Jain poets, saints, and devotees. The tradition of stavan-writing is centuries old and many are passed down orally, so exact dates and composers can often be difficult to establish.

    If you are seeking stavans by a particular poet or in a particular language (Gujarati, Hindi, Sanskrit, etc.), please let me know!
