Mahavir swami stavans
Here are some well-known Mahavir Swami stavans (devotional songs). These are bhakti-geet, not canonical sutras, and wording may vary by region/sect. Brief meanings are given in simple Jain spirit.
- Mangalam Bhagwan Veero
- Jay Jay Mahavir Swami
- Hey Prabhu Tumhāre Charan Kamal
- Tirthankar Paramātmā Tu
- Avo Māra Vīr Prabhu
- Prabhu Tare Bhagta Nī Āṅkh Nī
- Merī Bhāvnā (Mari Bhavna)
- He Mahavir Dayāl Prabhu
- Aaj No Divaso Ānand No
- Prabhuji Mane Evi Dījiye Buddhimāntā
Notes for practice
- Begin with Navkar Mantra, then sing a stavan with steady, peaceful bhāva; conclude with prayer for kshamā (forgiveness).
- Lyrics differ across Shwetambar and Digambar traditions and local granth-mālās; the devotional intent remains the same.
- Prefer stavans that praise the Tirthankar’s guna (virtues) and inspire right conduct, avoiding worldly requests.
