    Mahavir swami chodaryo

    12 months ago 58

    It seems you’re referring to the Gujarati Jain stav “Mahavir Swami chhodāryo.” In devotional usage, this line expresses humble surrender at the feet of Bhagwan Mahavira and a prayer to remove inner sorrow (kashāyas) so one can progress toward samyak-darshan, samyak-jnān, and samyak-chāritra.

    Simple sense of the phrase:

    • “Mahavir Swami chhodāryo” = “I entrust myself to (take refuge in) Bhagwan Mahavira.”

    Traditional intent:

    • To cultivate non-violence, truth, restraint, and non-attachment as taught by Mahavira.
    • To purify the soul by reducing anger, pride, deceit, and greed, thus moving toward liberation.

    If you want, I can share the full Gujarati text of the stav with a clear, traditional meaning (and note any differences observed in Shvetambar and Digambar practice).
