Navkārśī ka arth (Jain paramparā)

• Navkārśī pehla bhojan hai jo suryodaya ke lagbhag 48 minutes (2 ghaḍī) baad liya jata hai. Is se pehle Navkār Mantra ka smaran aur pranām kiya jata hai. Shuddh āhār, ahimsā aur saiyam ki bhāvnā is vidhi ka mool hai.

Navkār (Namokār) Mantra – mool pāṭh Namo Arihantāṇaṁ Namo Siddhāṇaṁ Namo Āyariyāṇaṁ Namo Uvajjhāyāṇaṁ Namo Loe Savva Sāhūṇaṁ

Paramparā ka ullekh

• Shvetāmbara aur Digambara dono paramparāon me Navkārśī ka mool bhāv ek hi hai—Navkār ka smaran karke pavitra man se āhār grahan. Dono me mantra ka mool pāṭh upar jaisa hi hai; ucchāraṇ me laghu antar ho sakta hai.

Tip: Navkārśī se pehle man ko shaant karke Navkār Mantra dhīre-dhīre padhen, ahimsā, aparigraha aur saiyam ki bhāvnā jagāyen, phir hi āhār lein.
