Panchandiya stotra

The Panchandiya Stotra is a revered Jain prayer chanted for spiritual well-being and protection. It is a collection of five (pancha) powerful Jain stotras (hymns) that extol the virtues of the Arihants, Siddhas, Acharyas, Upadhyayas, and Sadhus—the revered five in Jainism, collectively called the Panch Parmesthi.

Typically, the Panchandiya Stotra consists of the following five stotras:

1. Namokar Mantra (Navkar Mantra) – The most fundamental prayer in Jainism, paying obeisance to the Panch Parmesthi.
2. Uvasaggaharam Stotra – Composed by Acharya Bhadrabahu Swami, dedicated to Lord Parshwanath, believed to remove obstacles and difficulties.
3. Santikaram Stotra – Also composed by Acharya Bhadrabahu Swami, said to bring peace.
4. Tijayapahutta Stotra – A stotra of victory, invoking blessings and protection.
5. Kalyana Mandir Stotra – A hymn glorifying the temple of auspiciousness and the virtues of the Jinas.

Significance:
Reciting the Panchandiya Stotra is believed to purify the mind, remove obstacles, bring peace, and invoke the blessings of the Tirthankaras and other revered beings. It is a common practice among Shwetambar Jains, especially in the morning or during times of distress.
