My height has not increased from 2.5 years i.e. from age of 15 years. All other friends and all who were smaller than me have become such a taller than me. Which mantra should I recite to increase my height at least now
Answer
In Jain Dharma, there is no specific mantra traditionally taught to increase physical height. Mantras are mainly for purifying the soul, calming the mind, strengthening faith, removing fear, and developing inner discipline.
You may respectfully recite the Navkar Mantra daily for inner strength, peace, and acceptance:
Navkar Mantra
णमो अरिहंताणं
णमो सिद्धाणं
णमो आयरियाणं
णमो उवज्झायाणं
णमो लोए सव्वसाहूणं
Explanation
Height is related to the body, genetics, nutrition, sleep, hormones, and age. Since you are around 17–18 now and your height has not increased for 2.5 years, it is better to also consult a qualified doctor or endocrinologist to check whether growth plates are still open and whether there is any medical reason.
From the Jain perspective, the body is a result of karma, but Jain Dharma does not teach that one should use mantras as a shortcut for bodily changes. Instead, it teaches:
- Right faith
- Right knowledge
- Right conduct
- Self-discipline
- Acceptance without inferiority
Spiritual Understanding
Please do not feel small or less valuable because of height. In Jain Dharma, a person’s real greatness is not measured by body size, but by:
- Humility
- Compassion
- Self-control
- Truthfulness
- Purity of thoughts
Even a physically small person can be spiritually great.
Takeaway
Recite the Navkar Mantra daily for peace and confidence, but for height concerns, take proper medical guidance. Jain Dharma supports both spiritual strength and practical wisdom.
